Album Advert


To give the band a more professional feel and look we decided to produce a advert for the single. I porduced this useing Photoshop. I used the image i had produced for the front of the album as the image in the center of the album. I then added diamonds around this and placed the text in suitable places. The idea behind the design was to make it look simple, fresh and easy to see. After looking at other advertisments i realised that bright colours are effective so i used a bright colour for the logo and used black writing to make it easy to read from a distance and to compliment the colour. Overall i am pleased with my design as i feel it works for its purpose and looks profesional.

DigiPack Layout

I designed the digi-pack for the single. This is what i came up with. I used a variety of colours to make it bright and colour full while at the same time used images which appear in the music video to place on the different faces, this was to allow the customer to relate the physical product with the visuals on the video. This has also helped the band look more professional and thought about. To make the digi-pack i used Adobe Photoshop with the acquired skills from my photography course to layer up the different parts and used several of the effects and layer masks to achieve the colours.


The logo has been used on the front cover and on the disc, when we looked at other cd singles and albums we noticed that often the design on the front of the case was often in some way represented on the actual disc. This helps the customer if they find the disc out of its case they can straight away realize with the easily memorable visuals that it belongs to this case.



This design is the flat image before folding. This would be folded in half then the two sides folded in.

Final Music Video

After adding all of the effects and editing we had to convert the final cut file to a movie file. This was simple which allowed us to upload it onto youtube. Bellow is the finished result of our music video.





I think the video is really interesting and i feel it follows most of the conventions of a pop video. I think that we have included many different shots at a fast pace which allows the viewer to follow the pace through the visuals as well as the rythem from the audio.

We have decided to write an in depth evaluation on our music video.
