Magazine Ad and Digipak

This is the first draft of my magazine advert. The first thing is that these are the pictures I will be using for the final advert. I have tried to keep the concept of the two font colours used in the logo going throughout the poster, for example when it comes to the reviews and the release dates.

These are also both of the pictures I will be using in my final piece. 

Digipak Cover Advances. Subliminal Cover Meanings.

Here you can see that I have progressed more with the spine and the back cover this week. I have used the same picture twice as the gap I created within the translucent New York pictures is used for the Album and Band name but also on the back cover it's perfect for the track list. This design was actually on purpose so it's great that it worked out this way. I have also included a copyright symbol, and band member list and links to the bands page on myspace (Fictional) and the YouTube page where all of the songs and videos are (Which is real). For the spine I simply used the same fonts as it is a logo I was trying to be consistent. I also just re-sized the 'Layers' logo so it fitted in. For the Picture in the spine I took a small part of the background picture (Namely the New York skyline where the sun bursts out) and stretched it which I think enhances the busting effect in this situation. For my other two inside over designs, I was going to have more of a focus on the artist and either have a picture of me and the other member one on the left side one covering the disc. Or, I am going to have the same to pictures but I am going to make it the size of a passport picture and make around 40 or 50 copies and 'Layer' them over each other either with both of them the right way up at the correct angle or a could change it so it creates a more wild and messy look, this is representative of how the main character in the video feels. I have been trying to subliminally show through simply the ideas of layers in the world around us, first with the layering of the two artists over each other but also through the use of the skyscrapers and how tall they are, and their floors, e.g. their layers...

Rough Music Video

Sadly this took far longer for me to do due to unforeseen circumstances so it is not quite to the standard of which I want it to be but luckily I managed to squeeze out a cut before the deadline.

Album Artwork Advances

I have been working on my album front cover, so far I have just finished the text which you can see here:

I am happy with it for several reasons such as the song is obviously called layers and I was able to use a layering technique which obviously adds to it, I have also incorporated the red, white and blue which are the american flag colours and America is referenced several time throughout the song mainly as it set in America. So quite pleased with today.

Album Artwork and Digipaks

I have started designing what my album artwork will look like so far I have come up with this as the front cover:

This is a 'first draft' design as I obviously still need to come up with a font for the name of the song but I felt that the font in this situation is simplistic, but the connection between the A and the T could be something good (i.e. a potential logo) to work on for the poster.
Also the person in the picture is supposed to represent our male character in the song and the pictures the nights events.







I have also chosen the digipak I wish to use out of the choices:
