Different construction ideas for my Advert

 

 

This is my favourite idea as it's got the layers still on the image but it's not too much, it's got simplicity along with it. I chose to use white text as it looked a lot more effective and noticable than using the same colour as on my digipak.

 

 

This has got the same idea and everything but there's a extra layer on the photo, I like it, I think it's effective, but the hand looks a bit freaky.

 

 

This is the same advery but using the same colour font as on my digipak, I really don't like it, It doesn't look effective for what I'm trying to advertise, I think it looks more vampire theme than love.

Different construction ideas for the inside part of my Digipak

 

 

These designs vary in transparency of images. The top photos are edited to 75% and the bottom one at 50%. I'm really struggling to decide which one I liek the best. I like the top one because I think the photos look better and more effective but then on the bottom one, the text contrasts better.

Different construction ideas for the front and back part of my Digipak

The variations between these are the colouring, the amounts of layers im using and positioning of the photos. I like the last one the best, each one has progressed from the last adding or taking away and changing to reach the design I would like.

Construction Ideas for Advert

For my advert, the image i use will be the same as the front cover but whether, how I edit will be the same, I will see. As I'm trying out different ways in how I would like it to look. I'm changing it by using overlapping of photos and using backgrounds and borders.

I have used this image on my digipak on one of the different ideas of mine.Basically, I have overlapped the photographs, with a blackened border and a black background. I like this

 effect as it's a lot more interesting as just the photo on its own and also I wanted it to almost have a border so when I have the writing on there, it almost has somewhere to go. I liked the idea of a sort of border from analysing Florence and the Machine's magazine advert for their album 'Lungs'.

This effect uses the same sort of as the one above accept this one, the photographs are more different in size and one of them has a bigger boarder that goes along the sides. The reason I'm not too sure on this one is because the locket isn't aligned in all of the photographs and seeing as that's the main focus for me on the advert, it's not as effective to show the locket like this.

In this one, its more simplistic as it doesn't have as many layers. I like this one but then again I still find the first one the most attractive to look at but I will see when the writing is on it.

Ideas for Construction of Digipak (outside)

For the outside of my digipack (front and back cover and inside image) these are the images I have chosen but I have been editing and changing the view of the front and back cover image (images of mum and Kayleigh holding the locket) as I'm not too sure how I would like it. I've been changing the transparency, closeness of the photos and even over lapping bordering the photos. For the spine I have used the eyedropper tool from Kayleigh's dress so there's a colour theme running throughout the digipak.

Here the transparency of mum's photo and I've bought her closer to the box, so enlarged the image, to make her fit into the frame similarly to how Kayleigh;s photo is.

Here I have just changed the transparency of mums photo. The reason I have done this is because there's going to be my album tracks on the back so I want the writing to be easy to read. 

In this one, I have changed both mum and Kayleigh's photos and done similar things to both. I have put a blackened border around 3 different photos on photoshop, each with a slightly different border and then removed the black background on each layer so you're left with the overlapping effect of a few photos with a more dramatic look from the border. As you can see on Kayleigh's photo, part of her hand is showing very faintly. The only prblem with this is overlapping the photos of mum has increased the colouring so we will have to see what the text looks like against that as a background.

Construction Ideas for Digipak (inside)

These are initial photo placement ideas for the inside of my digipak. As you can see, I've altered the photos transparency through photoshop; the top photo at 50% and the bottom at 75%. I'm still not sure which one I prefer so I'm going to place the text on both of them to see which one I prefer. The reason I have used photoshop to change the transparency is because I was the writing to be easier to read but I didn't want to use a plain background.
