Choosing Fonts

I have been online, researching different fonts i may use for the title on my digi pak. These 3 stood out to me in particular as i think it suits the genre and artists theme and target audience. My favourite out of the 3 is the first 'AGENT ORANGE' as i think it would stand out on the front cover and i could fill the letters in different primary colours.

Digi Pak Sketch

Here is a a sketch of a rough idea of what I want my digi pack to look like. I have gone with the high school theme image by including lockers, a brick wall and a school bag etc. I have also drawn a dressing table with make up scattered across making it relate to my artists target audience - teenage girls. However, Christy has drawn a separate sketch where we can compare our ideas together and discuss what images are our favourite. 

Similar Artists

I have researched artists i think are similar and could influence my digi pak and styling of Antigoni. 

Carly Rae Jepsen resembles a typical teenage girl and her pop genre reflects in her styling and lyrics which Antigoni similarly does too. The font of the artists name is in a hand written style which adds softness to the front cover. Where as if it was bold it would portray the artist in more of a striking and confident manor. More over this could work well with antigoni as she follows in the same styling and genre as Carly Rae Jepsen.


Taylor Swift represents a 'sweet' and 'innocent' teenage girl who releases albums and singles about relationships. Although her genre is country music, it has a pop element to it which highlights the similarity between her and Antigoni. Antigoni's songs are about school life, boys and relationships and are aimed to girls similarly to her age. Taylor Swift also attracts a mainly female teenage fan base as they can relate to her songs. Taylor swift's styling has a sense of innocence to it with her signature hairstyle of ringlet curls. In comparison to other famous artists such as Beyonce or Lady Gaga, Taylor swift's make up is quite natural. However, over the years i have noticed she wears clothes that show a little more skin, such as short shorts which may attract more males and broaden her fan base. In comparison to Antigoni, this is very much similar as she wears natural make up and casual clothes that resemble her age and audience.

Digipak Research

What is a digipak and how is it similar/different to an album cover?

A digipack is a patterned CD/DVD packaging used for singles or special editions of albums. They include a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD/DVD attached in the inside.

What does a Digipak net look like and how many faces are usual?

This is a commonly used 4-faced digipak consisting of pictures, the CD and band profile inside and tour dates, lyrics and front cover on the outside.

What do we usually find on the various faces of a digipak?

On a digipack, there is usually a title front page with a picture of the artist and a list of songs displayed at the back. Inside the digipak includes lyrics for all the songs and branding pictures of the artist. Here is an example of Britney Spear's digipak of her album:

 Does there need to be a connection between the faces on the digipak?

There does need to be a clear connection between the face on the digipak in order to portray a clear profile of the artist and for it to relate to the audience for them to buy it. 

This is an example of a digipak from one of the best selling albums in the music industry.

Artist Image Identity Brainstorm

In class, we presented our finished music video 'popcorn' boy to our class mates to gather ideas for our artists identity. We brainstormed the feedback we received and will incorporate these ideas into our digi - pack.

The ideas that stand out to me are the bold primary colours and the american high school theme as it helps relate and suit Antigoni's target audience 

Lip syncing

Before attempting to lip sync, we had a tutorial on how to use final cut express and get the perfect timing for lip syncing. We used old footage to practice on so we could be prepared to edit and cut on our own. The key element to lip syncing was to place markers on the audio and visual clip and match them together. 

Editing; Transitions

Christy and I watched our rough cut and discussed a number of things we could include to make our music video stand out. We experimented with different transitions, slides and wipes which made the video more capturing and interesting while watching it back. These are a few transitions we chose which we though were appropriate or our video:
