Our artists DJ magma poster

This is the poster i have made for My media artist it is similar to my digipack as it shared the same color scheme and images however it is different and more like a poster as it shows dates and the album name and is advertising the artist.

Finished digipack

Here is my finished Digipack. For my Digipack i did not want to follow what Tommy and Jay were doing of playing on the idea of Magma and lava i wanted to play on the idea more that he was a DJ and give the Digipack a more upbeat club feel much like our video i feel the album goes with the video as it shows this night club scene, the images of the bright purple in the background i feel connote a club scene really well. I put a Photo of Tommy in a DJ pose on the front cover and turned the brightness down on him so this connotes the idea that he is DJ magma and i put a black square in front of him so it looks like his deck, the text i have used as well i feel suit the DJ as his album name is in this club looking neon font, and his name is in this fire magma font which connotes the word magma.

My digipack so far

This is my Digipack for my artist DJ Magma it is nearly finished. I have chose to go for a lot different feel than my groups digipack they have decided to play on the fact that that our artist name is called Magma where as i focused more on the fact he is a dj and the fact is more relevant to a club so i have tried to give my digipack a more club feel which i feel i am doing now.

How i made my digipack club scene

This is me showing how i made the vibrant colours for my image on photoshop.

My Digipack for our artist

digipack inside analysis

Inside of the Digipack Codes and conventions
Inside the digipack there are not that many codes and conventions. The only thing’s I can see that may be a code and convention is the C.D the actual C.D is inside the case this is very normal for a digipack as that is what you are paying for. Also like all digipacks it folds out and reveals cover art and uniqe art you would not get on a normal C.D. Another thing is the special C.D you get of the live concerts that you can watch they sometimes give you a special song that you can get with only this C.D this is another thing digipacks do a lot.

Description
Again there is very uniqe Graffiti artwork on the inside of the case much like the outside of the case it is very interesting and uniqe and has a very special style that may attract the audience or buyer of this C.D. Another thing that the Inside of the cover have done that the outside of the cover have done is wrote the artists name on the case again to show the audience this is there C.D it may also be to add to this graffiti look as there names look like it has been sprayed on a wall or the case to represent them. The C.D also has a sleeve that is interesting as it allows them to not take up space in the C.D for another slot to put the C.D in and therefore can put some more artwork in. The C.D pretty much follows the codes and conventions of a case and is just sitting in the slot compared to all the artwork you see in the case the C.D is a bit of a let down as there is nothing interesting about it.

Digipack analysis outside

Outside of the digipack
Codes and conventions
This digipack follows many codes and convention such as an adult advisory sticker like most albums with explicit content. The front of the C.D cover has the name of the artists like most albums/digipacks do. The album also has the name of the album on the cover like other albums/digipacks do as it makes the album stand out as an individual product. On the back of the digipack it has the name of the Songs on it as it gives the audience an indication of what type of genre or album this is also what songs are on there like most C.D’s do. There is also copyright information on the back of the digipack this is a lot of information about the C.D’s producers and distributers like most C.D’s do. Another code and convention is the fact there is a bar code on the back of the digipack. One of the codes and convention the digipack defies is that the artists are not on the C.D this shows that the artist is big enough for us to automatically know who they are. The digipack also follows the code and conventions of having the name of the artist on the side of it.

Description
The C.D has a very unique design on the front as it looks like graffiti it does not have a photo of the artists it also would attract a potential buyer of the C.D as it stands out more and is different the design looks as if has been sprayed on a wall as the background of the C.D looks like some sort of wall. The top left of the C.D has a MTV logo on it this could mean that they ever distributed it or they sponsoring it, I think more people would be attracted to this C.D if they saw this look. The name of the C.D is collision course indicating that the two artists ever clash or collide which makes the album sound unique. Also on the back of the C.D it looks as if Linkin parks name looks as if it has been sprayed on which works with the look of the rest of the album. On the spine of the C.D you can see the Artists name like you would on the other albums which may attract people. Another thing to do with this graffiti art look the album are going for the names of the songs looks like they have been written on a white part of graffiti almost as if they are graffiti as well. The adult advisory sticker on the album looks out of place on the albums graffiti look it makes the album almost look a bit weird as if it was me I would try and make a graffiti version to keep with the albums look.
