Feedback On Digipaks

 During lesson, we gathered as a class to give each other feedback on our three ideas of digipak covers, insides and backs. The feedback we received was generally positive and  we managed to get a class vote of which digipak, cover and back draft we should use and what colour scheme and font.

 This was our first draft and idea, Kain created this dynamic, illusional draft for our front cover. It is in black and white. The feedback we got from this idea was that the idea was nice but not in black and white. People like the illusional effect and the diamonds. The font used for this front cover was preferred as well. I do like this draft, I like the illusional effect it has cause that is quite alternative and would fit in with our genre, however, I like the rest of the class, don't like the colour scheme and I don't think it quite fits in with the happy, uplifting words to the song.

 This was our second draft for the front cover, Kain did this one using his own pictures and colour scheme, I personally prefer this one and so did the majority of the class. They preferred this colour scheme. However, some preferred this colour scheme with the first draft of the front cover which is something will try out in later lessons. I personally prefer this one because it looks extremely indie, and alternative which is the exact vibe we were going for, and it looks extremely professional, before we showed this to the class the teacher thought this was the original CD cover for the band.

 This is the draft for either the back or the inside of the digipak. I created this one with a drawn still shot of the five characters running up the hill, with the four tracks on the digipak written on the back. There is squiggles to represent the copyright information and other legal information as well as a barcode at the side, with the band name and song title at the top. The class genuinely seemed to like this idea and wanted it on the back or on the inside of the digipak, however, they said that this colour scheme does not match the front cover colour scheme which is something we will try in a later lesson.

This is all our drafts together, at the side of this picture is Bex' draft of the tree branches which are used a lot in our video with the lyrics on etc. However, Bex wasn't overly confident about using this draft so we decided against using it. We generally got good feedback from the class and were pleased with our drafts. Progressing from the feedback we are going to try different colour scheme with each draft but using the same font for each as that was very popular with the class feedback we got.
