Final Video

My Final Music Video

Magazine Advert

Magazine Advert:

This is my final product for the magazine advert. As you can see I have decided to choose a design that I did not draft, which in turn could have been a major risk but I believe this has payed off as it looks better than what I had expected.  This is because I felt many of the other designs were either not achievable, or would not have looked as effective. I decided to continue using the filters on Photoshop and also built on this by using blending options on the fonts and placing effects like shadows, bevels and embosses. I quite like the minimalistic style, its very simplistic yet difficult to create. I decided it suited the theme of my music video and music artist better to have a magazine advert in this style. 

I decided to use white text, on a dark background. This creates a contrasting effect, making the products more visually appealing and adding focal points to the page. This adheres to the artistic effect that I was trying to create throughout all of my products but the image is also taken from a still in my music video, and I believe that this will help immerse the viewers in my product.

Final Digipak

Final Digipak:

I have made many changes on my digipak from the first draft I made, however I am now very happy with my overall result. I feel that all the filters I have used support my artistic theme, as well as complimenting the location of my shots. The filters placed on each photo ensures that all pictures conform to a house style, and clearly come from the same digipak. I also kept a consistent theme of time running through all of my products, and this again can be seen on the inside right page of my digipak where I have constructed a clock in the Photoshop CS3.

Super-Imposed Magazine Advert

Super-Imposed Magazine Advert:

Similar to my digipak I have again chosen to super-impose my product onto real life items in order to emit the fact that my product is a real life product. I am of the opinion that this clearly symbolises how my product could be denoted as being successful if it was created in real life as I feel that in these scenarios it looks striking and successful. In order to create these effects I again used the transform, warp, skew and perspective tools and played around with them until the product filled the space as effectively as possible.

 Here I have super-imposed my digipak onto images that I took of existing products so that I could determine what my product would look like in a real world environment. This has also shown what the underneath of my CD would look like with the cogs effect further adhering to the overall theme of time. I achieved this effect by using the edit menu and using the transform drop down menu. From here, I used the functions perspective, warp and skew in order to shape the images and make them look as realistic as possible so that an effective and successful product could be highlighted.
