Digi Pack

I used Adobe InDesign to create the product and I tackled several problems. The first problem I faced was actually near the completion of my product, when it came to printing, I found that I had set the document up in the wrong size. The size I had made my CD was almost two sizes too big, I then had to change the heights and widths of my document and scale all of my images and text to the size I wanted them. The structure itself was difficult in terms of imagining it as a booklet and thinking of how it will read and appear to the audience. Selecting the right images was also important, for this I had to compare numerous CD booklets in order to develop inspiration.

These are some of the images included within the Digipack taken. We felt that the use of black and white worked well as it accompanied the house style of having a black background and a whiter image, as this is what we have done for the background and text on our other products. Also as DJ's are not really ever seen in terms of their music videos or being promoted in a extensive way, the images used are quite effective as they are quite enigmatic. Some of the images of the female singer are half shadowed which definitely gives an enigmatic approach. The brick wall allows and urban and contemporary feel which relates to our genre and young target audience. The images are mostly of the artists posing and looking serious rather then smiling, adding to give a dramatic look to their character and it could also suggest that they take their music very seriously.

I also had to collect all the lyrics from Duke Dumont's tracks. This was difficult as the majority of the tracks were instrumental remixes and due to this had no lyrics, therefore the majority of the Digipack would have not have lyrics. Therefore I put next on the instrumental page that all of the tracks were produced by 'Turbo Recordings' as otherwise the page would have looked bare and this gives slightly more information about the tracks. The songs with lyrics were 'Need You 100%' 'The Giver' and 'Hold On'.
In terms of laying everything out on the page and the structuring of the images and text, I found this quite easy. This being as this was the last of my ancillary products made and therefore I was able to copy the images and conventions of my other products used. Hence why I have not uploaded much development for my Digipack as it was all fairly straight forward. I believe that I have followed my drafts in what I wanted to create and the images represent this well.

These are the finished pages of my Digipack-
