Location 3

Below is a presentation about our third and final location, which we used to film the 'insane' footage of Ivory. This shows the positives and negatives of the location and why we used it for our music video.

Digipak Analysis

Below is a presentation analysing the final digipak showing why we decided to do certain things.

Digi Pak Updates

After receiving feedback on our first digi pak draft we had to make a few amendments before creating and completing the final version. One of these changes was adding the institution information to the back cover. The institutional information is crucial and must be included on every digi pak which is something we discovered through our digi pak research.

After looking at several official digipaks including these:


We began to see similarities in their institutional and extra information. For example, both feature barcodes so this was something we added to our digi pak. Secondly, both feature the artists recording company and who distributed their album which is again something that we made sure about in our digi pak.

The insitutional information we added went as followed:

• Polar Republic Records Ltd. 
• Distributed by Sony Music Entertainment 
• All Rights Reserved 189 Soho Avenue, London, W1D 3A

Signed CD

I created a signed CD to go with the IVORY merchandise and to be used across social media.

Final Digi Pak Amendments

The amendments we made since the last digipak update:

• We've added Ivory's signature blue streak through her name to the front cover of the album.
• We changed the bottom left image from the image of the trees to an image of Ivory.
• The 'thank you' section of the digipak has been amended so that it is no longer just a quote and now surrounds an image of Ivory.

Magazine Article

This is the finished magazine article created to go with the magazine cover.

First Draft Feedback

Album Poster Research

Below are different album posters I used for inspiration when creating our own album poster on photoshop.

Chosen Song Name

Like Me

We chose the name 'Like Me' because the words are repeated throughout the song. We thought it was the best fitting name from the list we created.

Song Name Ideas

Below are the different song names we choose from as we could not keep the song name as 'Gasoline"...

• Like Me
• Falling
• Hurt
• Reckless
• Hurricane
• Hurt
• Deeper
• Scars  

Digipak Official Draft

This is a update on the first draft digipak. We have tried to incorporate the feedback we received, where appropriate, to make a better product.

 

Website Update

After conducting our website research we found that female solo artist's tend to have a cover page to their website. On this cover page, the viewer can access the artist's latest music and the artist's official website via a link. It was because of this discovery that we have created a cover page which, via a button, links to the official website.
So here is the link to our new website (featuring the cover page with a moving background):
