The document summarizes the process of creating a print task for a pop album. It discusses how the group collaborated on ideas and decided on design elements like the front cover photo, back cover photo, and inside photos. For the front cover, they selected a close-up shot to emphasize the female artist. The back cover uses a long shot to showcase her costume. Photos were edited to airbrush skin and darken lips to portray her as flawless. Filters and fonts were used to tie the design together and match conventions of pop album covers.

1. Print Tasks

2. Collating our print ideas
Every group member made their own ideas for a print task. We then brought all of
our ideas together and drew out how we want our print tasks should look like and
how our final Digipak should look like.
As a group I believe that our ideas were very similar this is because we found same
album covers for our individual research. We agreed on different aspects such as the
font that we should use, the colours of the cover and the costume the artist should
wear. However we wanted different types of photo for the front cover for example we
couldn't’t decide between a long shot or close up of the artist.

3. Plan
For our final Digipack we decided that it was essential that the front cover we
used a close up of our artist. This was a convention we identified from our
research but we also felt it worked well from our draft work.
In addition it would work to promote a female artist which we found from our
research is very important to emphasise their glamour.
For the back cover of the album we decided to use a long shot here because
due to our research we found that it is important to show the costume of the
artist. Within ‘Pop’, costume is so important in conveying the image of the
artist and we felt that with our artist the look we had created was quite
distinct and her costume really essential in helping construct her image. We
wanted the red dress to be iconic of her look and felt a long shot was the best
shot to capture this. It would also allow us to meet the expectation of the
marks scheme to use a range of shots. .

4. Photoshoot
Here we
wanted to
take close
up of her
face for the
front cover
because this
was a
generic
convention
we found
We was
experimenting with
poses. The pout
illustrates her as girly.
The hand on face
looks cute.
Here we took
shots for the
back cover.
We wanted it
to be a long
shot so you
can see her
dress but be
able to
position her
on the side
for text.
The images
with balloons
show her as
fun and bubbly
side. Used for
inside.

5. Selected Images

6. Front- what we did and why
1. We airbrushed her skin to portray her
flawless and perfect. From our research the
artist skin was always clear and perfected
because it part of their image to appear
perfect.
2. We made her lips darker because it displays
her as bold. In our music video we show her
to be independent as she tells her friend
she doesn't’t need a man. We saw in Jessi
J’s album cover she had black lips which
showed her to be tough however we felt
black would be too bold and dramatic for
our artist. We also made her dress more
brighter as it helps it stand out more.
3. We also added a filter by adding blue and
yellow on top and playing around with the
opacity. The filter gives it a vintage look and
we felt it works well with the colour of her
hair as it is golden.
We kept her name very simple because we
saw from a lot pop album cover such as
Ariana Grande’s album that their name was
very simple and not too over powering. We
chose a more bolder font for the album
name as it looks elegant and fits with her
image.

7. Back
1. We also airbrushed her skin as her skin must
look flawless in all her images. From our
research the artists skin looked flawless in all
their images.
2. To show continuity with the front image we
added the same filter and used same font as
her name. This allows the album to look as a
whole as the colours match.
3. We also made her lips darker as her lips are
dark in the front cover. On top of this we
made her dress more brighter so it stands out
better.
4. We added the text on the left as the image
frames our artist on the right. This was
another convention we found throughout pop
albums. The colour of the text is the same
colour as her name on the front cover.
5. Lastly we included a barcode and information
about record label as they’re included at the
back.

8. Inside
1. We airbrushed her face again
and added a filter to show
continuity.
2. To get the same background
we copied it from the back
image. This is because the
original background did not
match the backgrounds of the
first two images. It did not
have the same texture.
3. We then cloned the balloons
for the inside of the CD. First
the balloons were pink but
using the colour adjustment
tools we altered the colour to
change it to blue. We got this
idea from Katy Perry’s album.
Her cd was filled in to look like
a sweet. So we used balloons
as it matched our music video.
4. Lastly we added text onto the CD as texts are
commonly added here. We used the same font and
colour from the front cover. However, the text ‘With
Love’ we added a drop shadow so it is more visible.
