Construction - Reediting (Digipak and Magazine)



In the time that I had today, I spent it re-editing the texts that I had already created. The first text that I spent the time making adjustments to was the digipak. The digipak needed the most changes due to the reason that the draft had only three of the six pages of the digipak, which meant it was not formatted in the same way as an exsisting digipak would be. The first change that I made to the apperance to the digipak was the front cover. The thing that got changed on this page was the image that was used on the front. To start of with I had an image of a girl sat on the oak tree, however I decided to change it to the performer. The reason that I decided to swap the pictures is because of the idea that I have seen many different digipaks that have already been created, which typically include the artist on the front, to use them as a selling point to the audience, as well as allowing the image of the performer to link both the music and the different texts to each other.

After changing the images on the front cover of the digipak, I then added an other image to the digipak. The reason for this is because of the idea that I had taken the image of the performer from the artist page, and needed to fill it with another image. The image that I decided to change it to was the oldest woman by the tree. I did this as I thought that this image fitted best with the type of digipak that I am trying to create, as the image links to the others with the idea of having the yellow ribbon in the background, tied to to the tree. Adding this image to the digipak did not take up much time, as it was the case of just trying to find the exact image that I was wanting to use, which then got cropped down to the size that is going to fit.

After switching around the images, I then decided to make sure that I had added the appropriate information to each, this meant adding the songs to the back page, the album title and artists to both the front cover and down the side of the digipak and the song lyrics to another one of the pages.

Once I had made the neccassary changes to the Digipak, I then had to made a few adjustments to the magazine advert. The few things that I had to do to the magazine was change the image of the ribbon in the girls hair and move the feature text. The reason I changed the image is becuase I feel that this image worked better as it has the tree in the background. By having this image I had to move this piece of text as otherwise it would then be covering an important piece of the image.
