Nearly, but not quite...The Digipack

I am now very close to completing the digipack. I have completed the inside page and am now currently working on the back cover. I strongly believe that my inside page is the strongest page of the digipack. The design of the inside page has manage to sum up the type of artist i attempted to portray rather finely.  I am very satisfied withthe inside page and as I said I am now on to the back cover. I am running low on time now so it seems as if the back cover will be rushed in order to complete it in time for the deadline. The making of this digipack has shown that before making such productions, i need to plan and draw up a design of what i want. Doing this may have made me a lot more satisfied with the end product of teh digipack.

The adventures of the Digipack & Website...

The digipack is starting to come along better than it was before. I definetly feel it has improved from the last time i spoke about it and i think that i was able to congure up some ideas on how to create a intersting looking CD cover with the simple and basic photos I had. I ended up using only one photot of Darren which I copied and roatated 90 degrees horizontally. This meant that there was two of the same pictures, one being fliped and facing the other way. I believe that Using only one photo and editing it gave the cover the simplistic yet artistic look i was intending for and so I am quite happy with myself for this idea.

Though I believe that I have found a way to make a simple picture more interesting I still do not blieve that the CD front cover is as good as it should be. I am very close to finishing and I cannot think of much else that  I can add to the front cover.

Website

I think i am most pleased with my website. I have nearly completed the whole website and i only have the page tour dates left to complete. I was actually told yesterday that we were only getting graded on our home page of our website and the other pages werent meant to be done. This has meant that I wasted some unneccessarry time doingthe other pages on the website like 'Live tour dates' 'Gallery' and 'Contact us'. However i do feel that doing these other pages has given me greater insight into Ed Sheeran as an artist as it promted me to do more research into his website and other of his murchendise. This has been quite insightful and making the other pages has been very interesting and so i dont actually believe it was a waste of time. When i do complete the website i will definetly post the full website up on blogger for people to see the whole website.

I an really pleased with the development of the website. Choosing a blank document was definetly a= the best choice and worked out best for me. I felt that through looking at my website i managed to sell the Artist effectively to the young target audience. i think i still managed to portray and sustain the authentic image of Ed Sheeran so all in all i am very pleased witht he development of the website and hopefully next time i speak on the website it'll be to post the completed version of the site.
