Keppel Ltd. 1Q 2024 Business Update Presentation Slides
Music dvd cover
1.
2. The next 2 slides will feature some edited pictures that were created to be used for
both the DVD cover & the magazine advertisement. Many colleagues believed they
were really good but I decided not to use them because I questioned my self if
people would understand what the angel wings represented and how they link to
the video so I believed that it was best to just leave them out. I got the idea from
doing a brainstorm of everything that relates to the music video and from the
obvious, No regrets was one of the ideas which I developed and started thinking
about no matter what has happened in the past, it has all resulted positively and
then I started to think about what could represent the positive outcome. Then I
started think about an angel and how it represents generosity and goodness which
could link to the artist with the way he wants people to see him.

4. Here are the final samples of
the edited pictures that were
created but not used.
5. After countless hours of looking through photos, this is the photo chosen by myself and the
team to use for the music DVD cover which I believe is an excellent choice as the quality is
perfect.
6. I started by removing the problem that most teenagers suffer from, the spots. By doing this it
shows the same level of proficiency as professionals as many of their pictures are edited and
airbrushed to make the advertisements more attractive and eye catching.
7. After removing any unnecessary bits and pieces I then added the black & white effect that appears to make the image
more effective. The reason for doing this was because I had chosen to do the simple & effective technique for the music
DVD cover instead of a colourful & creative technique. I also applied the feather tool that smoothens the photo to give
that more ‘professional’ look. The feather tool is very useful and is one of the key reasons why I use Adobe Photoshop as
this excellent feature helps improve the standards of all my media products.
8. In the team, we had discussed what camera angle to use for
the DVD cover and finally came to the conclusion of using a
close up shot. As you can see, a lot of popular music artists
use close up pictures on the cover of their music albums so
this is one of the reasons for using the close up shot.
9. : Before
Out of the two templates
available I picked the HD
template but it had to be
modified as most of the
template was unnecessary and it
created a lot more space for the
images and text to fit in.
After :
10. We had trouble finding a small plain font to fit with the basic style that we had
chosen to do for the subsidiary tasks so we didn't have many fonts to choose
from but these fonts look perfect for the style and layout. After getting a sample
of each and trying to visualize what it would look like it came down to ‘NEOU’ &
‘Eurofurence.’ These both look very similar but after a few discussions amongst
the team we came to the conclusion of using the ‘NEOU’ font from dafont.com
11. After deciding what font to use, I placed the pictures onto the template and attempted different places for
the images to go and finally came to the idea of having some sort of symmetrical effect. I also added the text
and used a vibrant orange colour for the name of the album to detach the artists name and the album name
apart and to also add a bit of colour as I knew it would stand out from the black and white effect of the
pictures.
12. I finally added the last few touches such as the barcode, artists website, names of the songs that are on the
album, a few logos & the artists name and album name down the spine of the cover. These small touches
made the DVD cover look more filled and complete. I then asked for advice from the team on any ways to
improve but was glad to hear that there was nothing to improve as it looked good the way it was.
