Magazine advert

This is my Magazine advert for Logics new album under pressure (this album is related to the digipak and the music video I also did for this unit)

Magazine advert WIP

To create my magazine advert I used photoshop, I used photoshop as it allows you to make precise adjustments and allows you to edit the texts kerning and text height etc...

The first step in creating my magazine advert was picking a main image for the advert, I chose to take a screen shot of a clip that I filmed for my music video, the reason I chose this image was because it is quite a common stance and pose for a rap artist and I thought it might appeal to the audience.

The next step in creating my magazine advert was to make the image look less dull, so I decided I would change it and have the background black and white and have the artist in color to do this I added a gradient and made it black and white I then got the rubber tool and rubbed out where the artist was on the gradient layer.

The last step in creating my magazine advert was creating the text, to make sure I got the text perfectly where I wanted and the right size I dragged the 'character' window down so I could edit the text whilst zoomed in.

This is my finished digipak printed off, I printed it off to see what it would look like in its physical form.

Final digipak

Digipak WIP

To create my digipak I used Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator I used these programs as they are the best for creating digital art, and by using these programs my final piece comes out looking more professional. 

The starting point for my digipak was the front cover was the vector image I made, I then dragged this photo onto photoshop and began to add the details, I then added the text that I had created on Illustrator.

The next step in creating my digi pak was adding the parental advisory logo, this logo has to be placed on albums which contain explicit words, so that parents are warned that this is not suitable for children. (Parental Advisory Description)

I then started to create the back cover of my digipak to start the back cover, I began adding the text on the back which was the track list, I then added some little details

I then added the copyright information, the barcode and the artists website.

I then began creating the inside panel, to begin creating this I used the same vector image that I used on the front and halved it, I also added a signature so that it looked like the artist had signed his work.

 

Finally, I began creating the panel of where the CD goes to create this I added a vector image of a crown.
