Digi Pac & Poster

For my poster, I have used the colour scheme of black, white and red as these three colours go well together. I decided to keep the background white and have the black as the main colour for the font as they are two colours that work well together. The red is taken from the lipstick colour from the artist. Before completing my poster, I had to make sure I had my digi pac front cover complete so this could be added to my poster to show some form of link between the two designs. Having completed this now, I have realised I have not put the record company (the name I created) onto my poster, yet have included it onto my digi pac. This is something I'll need to add to the final idea.

When I was designing the poster, I found it easier to do than the digi pac, this is because I did not need to be thinking about more than one thing and as the digi pac has 4 panels, this would be slightly harder to plan out as I was unsure of what to add here. From designing the poster first, this allowed me to have a continuous colour scheme with the digi pac, and for now decided to use the same picture on both- this was because I like the brightness of the photo, and how it stands out from the writing (even if the image is placed on the side)

The digi pac was harder to complete as I had no idea as to what was going to be inside my digi pac panel. The front cover uses the same colour scheme and the same image as the poster- this was the easier part of the task. After this, I decided to complete the back, and have for now used songs which are already in the charts/ on sale (I'm unsure for the final if I need to make up the song names?) however, if I do not need to think of them myself I feel I shall keep these names as they go with the theme of love- this is also shown through the use of album name 'Love only hurts'. At the moment, I only have 10 song names on the back too, I may need to consider adding a few more as most albums have 12-14 songs.

For the inside panel (next to where the CD is being kept) I had no idea what I was going to put here, however, after my teacher showed me a few albums I liked the idea of using the panel to make a 'thank you' note to the listener- A 'thank you' was used as a panel in an existing album (I think it's Kings of Leon's album) and decided to do this idea. I think this would be a good idea to do but I may need to add more writing to this panel. I also added the stars at the top and bottom of this panel to add a bit of colour to it. The inspiration for the stars was taken from Regina's Spektor's album- Begin to hope- when she uses black starts on the front cover. At the moment, I'm not too sure if they should be in black or colours or not there at all, however, I like the way they act as a boarder to the text.

(Reading through my digi pac, I have realised I have spelt 'Listener' wrong, this is something I'll correct in the final piece)
