Above we see the first drafts of our Ancillary tasks. These tasks required us to create both an album advert usually seen in a magazine or billboard, as well as a Digi pack. This is the album cover, including all six sleeves, the front, back, and 4 inserts.
The first step in identifying how to best layout the two promotional materials, is in primary research. This was conducted during the planning stages and allowed us to gather an understanding for a conventional drum and bass album cover. This post can be seen in the planning stages...
The first draft featured pictures we screen grabbed from the video. Part of the mark scheme meant we were unable to use these images. However the first draft was due in before we had scheduled the photo shoot. These changes were made by the second draft.
We used photoshop to make the promotion material and as you can see the results are basic. Our skills developed as we progressed through the creation.
Photoshop is the best program to use in this creation, allowing professional functions to a small scale creation. The front cover, the record, is the most challenging. We got the idea from a similar front cover and implemented it to our cover. We had to use tools such as eclipse and colour fill, as well as text, to implement this. We changed the colours to make it more urban and old school. I think This is the most successful aspect of our first draft CD cover.
