Meesage to Moderator

Dear moderator,

This is my G324 media portfolio. To create the final products, I worked in a group along with  Richard Parker and Adam Dixon. 

On this portfolio you will find the final music video and the ancillary tasks that contribute to the final promo package. The final products can be found listed on the tab at the top of the page. You will also find the tasks I  have completed to help me create the final products, which are listed under the other tabs at the top of the page. 

Thank you for taking the time to read through this blog and I hope you enjoy it. 

Regards, 
Josh Newton

Question 2

Final Digipak

This is an image of our final digipak. Although it has changed a lot from our initial designs, we feel that the changes we have made only help to convey the genre of the band.

Magazine Advert

Magazine Article Development

To make the digipak we started off by looking at our initial sketches. Once we all had the same vision of our magazine article, Adam started to make the product on Photoshop. 

To make the make the magazine article, he built up the product by using different layers on Photoshop.

He started off with the basic background which was the picture of the clouds and the field. We then added the logo and a photo of the digipak album. Once these were in place he found a textured patter and created this over the document in another layer. We then thought about where the digipak would be available from and we decided to use icons in or magazine article at the bottom. Adam then wrote New album coming soon in a font that matched the theme of the title. After building up a few layers of effects, adjustments and modes he put all of the layers together and had created the final product. 

As a group we were very pleased with the final product. We all felt that it fit the genre really well and that the theme between the digipak and magazine advert were very consistent. 

Magazine Advert Sketches

To ensure that all of the group understood what we were trying to achieve we sketched out our initial idea for the advert. It is evident that we went for a simple and effective magazine article, taking inspiration from the Kasabian and Daft Punk adverts we analysed. From this sketch we can now start to create the final advert.
