Changed I have made towards my ancillary.

This is a GIF I have created to show all of the changes that I have done throughout the creation of my ancillary. There are pictures including myself experimenting with different type of font and asking feedback from others to ask for their opinion on it. I have also adjusted the size of stars the location the stars are put and align all the text in one side to make it look organised rather than scrambled everywhere.

I have also added white boxes with low opacity or black boxes with opacity to enable the audience to be able to read the text properly as some of the background images did blend in with the text therefore I also changed the colour many times to see how it would make the font stand out.

My first photoshop attempt for a Digipak.

4/12/13

This is my first digipak attempt on random pictures that was given to us during our photoshop trial. I did think that it was a success keeping in mind that it was my first time using photoshop however, although i did well with experimenting on photoshop. I did lack a variety of things for example if my artist is not very popular it is not a good idea to use this effect and filter with his face as we don't know who the artist is and it will be hard to gain recognition for him. 

I did lack continuously with the font colour and organisation as one font was white then black and also, they were all located in different positions of the digipak Another problem was that i had more than one record label on digipak, i did also miss a lot of key information for example the album number and copyright information.

My Digipak analysis No.3

 This is the third Digipak that i personally liked. I liked the choice of colours used inside this digipak as the text and the colours compliment each other. I also like the idea of the swirl linking from the 4 panel Digipak and the advertising poster. I do believe that although he has used colours i like, the colours are not consistent between the poster and digipak as it is not consistent therefore i believe he could have kept the same colours although the current colours are slightly similar.

I also like the fact that the font was kept the same however, the font colours were different although i don't believe this is a problem as the colours he has used for his font do work with the background colour. Also there is around 3 different colours which is okay but i would say it does portray the artist and his genre well.
