Finished Digipak

Back of Digipak

I have added a barcode to the back of my digipak and will put the Columbia logo at the bottom too. The back is very simple with just a plain black background and using the eye-dropper tool on photoshop, I have taken the same colour pink as the lighting on the image on the front of my digiapk and used this as the colour of the font.

I will upload a screenshot later today.

Whilst waiting for my music video to export from Adobe Premiere Pro so that I can see whether the lip-syncing is as accurate as possible, I'm going to add a barcode to the back of my digipak.

Last Minute Filming

So that audience can make a clear connection between David and the home-videos, I had contacted David in the hope he was going to be free within the next couple of days for me to film him in a 'home-video situation' which would make a clear link between the two. However he is not free at all this week for me to do so. So last night I put a photo of David with family members in a frame and filmed a short clip starting with a close-up of him and a slow zoom so the full picture was in view. This is going towards the end of my video immediately followed by a close-up of David's face whilst he is playing the piano again to reinforce the link between the two.

Overlay

As the overlay I had orginally got did not work as well as I had hoped, I have found some other overlays and have asked one of the IT technicians to download and convert them for me because the school computers don't let students download files.

Whilst I am waiting for him to do this, I will do some more work to my digipak.

Problems with overlay

After converting the overlay file I had downloaded from the internet to make my home video clips look old, I tried putting it over some footage using the 'chroma key' effect in Adobe Premiere Pro. This hasn't worked as well as I had wanted it to so my plan is to try and find a different overlay which might work better.

Website

I have now finished the Latest News section of my homepage and so my website is complete! Here are two screenshot of how it looks:

Digipak

I have decided over the next couple of days to photograph lots of women of differing ages, occupations etc and plan to make a collage type image for the inside of my digipak.

I have a few I can use already:

Website

Here is a screenshot of my website so far. I have added the merch section with a link. All I have left to finish is the latest news section.

T-Shirts

In photoshop using two of the images I have from my photoshoot at Guild Hall I have created two T-shirts that are to be sold as merchandise.

Having looked at other artists' websites, the homepage normally features an image of some merchandise and a link to the store.

I am going to mimick this on my website.
