Ancillary Task - Ideas

In today's session we took to our creative skills once more and grouped together to create the CD digi-pack and the poster for ourlesson. Initially we wanted to incorparate as much nature as we could into this without leving Amanda being pushed to the back. Here are some of the ideas that we have come up with so far...

 

 

This is the idea that we had for the front cover. As we looked over our music video once more, we found out that one of our most iconic shots was of the heart in the hands so we decided that we would experiment with that. We wanted the name of our artist to represent the red string that is shown in the music video. We really liked this idea and felt that having a busy background would take away from the main image, so we just decided to have the backround blurred in depth of field or just a plain background.

 

This is the idea that we had for the interior of our pack. We wanted the flower to be on the CD and of the background of the CD so when you take the CD out you will still have the picture of the flower. For the left hand side, we wanted a picture of the forest with depth of feild. We  have deiced not to do a booklet, but rather a pull out poster that folds into this shape. We thought that this would be very orignal and connote with the niche theme well.

 

Here shows the picture of a pull-out poster and what it will initially look like. We prefer this idea to the booklet but we feel that it suits the genre and the album better. The idea is that it folds out to present lyrics and nature pictures on one side and the big poster of amanda on the other. We feel that this will be hard to construct on photoshop, but is something that we are willing to work on.

 

 

This is a slightly rough copy of what the back of the CD will look like. The basic idea is that we will have two trees either side and Amanda standing in the middle. There will be red string tied round both of the trees that will be connected to amanda by her holding them. The track list will then be above in the space between the two trees. We felt that a simple background would not take too much focus away from the tracklist as that is the most important thing on the back of this.

 

This last image is Vickies interpretation of the main cover with the offical font that we want on it as well. We will use these images and look at them closely to recreate what we want.
