AP: Magazine example


This is some of the magazine ads that we looked at in order to get some inspiration. we noticed common conventions such as tour dates being near the bottom, also the artists name taking up a lot of space on the poster itself and it usually being a bold and bright font. This also including website URLS as well as record companies and sometimes digipaks

Digipak Drafts

My first draft of my digipak





Here is my second draft of our digipak


Within this edit of the unpdated digipak, i have:

  • changed the font on the front cover of scadal us 
  • made some stickers and placed them in an appropriate space
  • made more than one so audience feedback can dictate which one gets used
  • added a catalogue number to the spine
  • added icons to the social media handles and got rid of long un-user friendly urls
  • changed the font of the legal small print to something more legible 
  • changed the placing of the text on the front
  • added dvd logos as well as company logos



Within this I have made some very minor tweaks such as:

  • reducing the font size of 'Scandal Us' 
  • Adding timings with the red lipstick colour therefore linking the front and back panels further
  • deleted the 'Gagas' out of the spine and re-alligned the text


Within this I have made some very minor tweaks such as:

  • moving the 'universal' logo around
  • moving the catalogue number
  • moving the title
  • moving the artist name  


Within this I have made some very minor tweaks such as
  • moving the title
  • moving the artist name  

This is the final digipak.

Rough Cut 3

This is our third video rough cut:


Since RC2, we've improved on the background for the newspaper performing gaga and changed the final performance section and improved the clomping of the heels within the dievetic intro which also features General hubbub

Alongside this, General audio improvements have been made, including making the switch from diegisis more pronounced and added in some more cutaway shots!

AP: Teaser Ad: Back Shot QR Code

We have now decided to place the QR code within the hair to still keep the same look that is happening with the newspaper. We will be asking our instagram followers which they think is best.


AP: Teaser Ad: Back Shot

This is our first teaser ad. however we think we will prefer to have the QR code in the hair instead of the bum because it looks a little out of place.


AP: Digipak Left Hand Side Complete

This is the finished image for the left hand side inside panel of the digipak

There's still a few changes to be applied, espcially from the feed back for the first verse, but this edition features more links with the full promotional package and a little more verisimilitude.

AP: Digipak: Inner Panel Right Hand Side Complete

This is my finished Warhol piece for the inner right hand side panel of the digipak


To create this look I took a series of steps and followed 2 different tutorials. One initially to make the Warhol style and then another to make the grid and using the different colours and placing them all together.
This process started by
selecting the image
choosing a new layer turning it white and placing it underneath the background layer to make it the new later the background layer.
