Question Two (Evaluation)

Changes to plan for evaluation

For question two, I decided not to use Thinglink as I felt that it would not be suitable as I have a lot of images as I have a lot to explore in this question, so as a result, I have decided to use Prezi as it is good for use of infographics and also allows you to work on layout and this will allow me to present question two in a presentable manner.

Making changes to the single

Today I decided to change my leaflet images as I felt that they were too blurry. Here is the final leaflet.

Taking audience feedback to consideration, I made my front cover fonts bolder. 

Also, I decided to change the text on my back cover as I felt that there was too much text. 

Constructing the CD

Today, I started to construct my actual CD. I got a template from the Internet and placed it onto the document and then used a range of Photoshop tools to place an image on the actual CD. 

Work in progress (Print products)

Constructing the advert

Today, I started constructing my advert. I used the mock-ups as a guide. I initially decided to use the skatepark pictures for my advert however, this was not convenient as the pictures were very blurry so I decided to use this picture as I felt that it was more suitable. I also used white text so that it stands out and also used the social media icons to follow the conventions of adverts. 

Constructing the leaflet (inside the CD)

Today, I was working on the leaflet that will go inside the single. I decided to use the skatepark pictures so that there is a range of pictures. I also decided to include the B letter I added on my front cover to create a sense of familiarity. I had to decrease the brightness and contrast as the original image was to bright. This is the final piece. 

Constructing the inside left and inside right

Today, I used an image of the projector design for my inside left image, I brightened the image as it was too dark, I thought that using the same print throughout the whole CD would be a good idea as it would make my CD look a lot more professional. 

I also constructed my inside right using the same image, so that it does not look disorganised. I added in a no fill circle as that is where the actual CD will be placed. 

Constructing the spine

Today, I carried on with constructing my spine. I added in the name of the song in bold, big letters so it stands out to the audience. This is the final piece. 

Constructing back cover

Today, I decided to carry on working on my back cover. I decided to move the bar code to the other side as I felt that it looked more neater and more presentable. I also, added in the website of the artist and the record labels website to follow the conventions of albums. Also, wrote the copyright texts to yet again follow the conventions of the albums I used for my case studies. Furthermore, I included the artists songs in bold so that it stands out to create a sense of familiarity for the audience. I used the same text font that I used for my front cover as it makes my single look more professional. This is the final piece. 

Constructing the back cover and spine

Today, I decided to add in the bar code to my back cover to follow the conventions of album covers, I plan to carry on constructing it next lesson.

Also, I decided to start on the spine, as I knew it wouldn't be time consuming, I used the same font text as my front cover so that my album covers look professional. I added in the record labels name and also number code to follow the conventions of albums that I used for my case studies. 

Constructing the back cover

Today, I decided to start my back cover as I had finished my front cover. I looked through the photoshoot pictures and thought that this image was suitable. I decided to brighten the image as it was too dark. I decided to position the model in the corner so that it would be easier and neater to add text to the clear side.
