Kelly Bailey's side to the production work :)

Kelly and I have been working on our media production work together. We decided that for the digipak Kelly would plan and make the Front Cover, one Middle Cover and one inlay and I would plan and make the Back Cover, one Middle Cover and one inlay. We are also going to plan and make one poster each. Kelly and I worked together to come up with a theme for the digipak, what fonts we were going to use and the general idea of what each cover would include on it.

We decided that we were going to have a re-occuring theme of a single white/pink rose which will be presented on the digipak, in the music video and possibly on the poster as well. The font we are using for the artists name is Century Gothic and for the title of the album and song titles we are using the font,


Each image has been annotated by Kelly to show how the image will be constructed and what it is she has drawn.


Kelly's Middle Cover ideas for the digipak:

Kelly:
"Starting from the bottom left hand corner (photo image)... a happy photo of artist and male scattered around the bed.
A teddybear that the male had brought the female lying around the bed.
A stereo that plays Cds sitting near the bed.
A single, red rose around the bed that the male had given the female.
The main feature is a bed, so sheets to be plain so the main focus is on the artist.
A 'Long-shot' photo of artist and male near the bed.
A mobile phone by the bed.
A box of chocolates scattered around the bed and are half-eaten.
A love letter next to the bed.
A heart neckalce on the floor near the bed.
A 'Medium-shot' of artist lying on the bed, head down and looking sad.
I have decided to use these particular objects and images because i want to show the memories the male and female had together and i also want to show that the album is songs full of memories."


Kelly:
"A typical natural background, maybe a garden, to show its a calm album.
The main feature is of the flower which will be big and colourful, to show its a happy/ pleasant album and song.
A close-up of the artist hand picking the flower up, just to show that connection that the album and song can relate to real-life issues."

Kelly's Front Cover ideas:

Kelly:

"Staring from the bottom left hand image, a 'Medium-shot' of artist on a side angle.A small red love heart to symbolise that the album/song is loving.Artist name to be in bold, pink/red writing, in the centre of the digipak.Bright, colourful flower, with falling petals next to it.The song name (Everything lies) in a large, pink/red font.I have decided to use these images and colours to make the digipak look simple and to attract our target audience."


Kelly:

"Starting from the bottom left hand image, a mirrowed image of the artist which will be in a medium close-up shot.A baby pink background which will be girly and pink to attract our target audience and to show love.Big,bold capital letters of the artist name in the centre of the digipak, will be in a red/pink font.Underlined name so it looks like the top bit of a scroll, and in a black font to stand out. I wanted to do these particular images and colours to make it different from the rest of the digipaks and to attract our target audience."

Kelly:
"Starting from the bottom left hand image of flower, will be small and colourful and will be placed there to break up the artist forename and surname.
The forename of the artist to be big,bold capital letters, in a red/pink colour to show love.
Background colour to be dark and sparkly.
Three translated mirrowed images of artist, all images will be medium to close-up.
An image of a star to show a star in the making, be also coloured in a bright yellow.
Name of the single featured in the album 'Everything lies' in a red/pink font.
Big,bold capital letters of the surname of the artist in a red/pink font to show love.
I wanted to do all these images and colours to make this digipak stand out from the others."
