ANOTHER FINAL CD COVER.

This is the final cover that i have edited of Charley. I feel that this is a lot better than the previous one because of the m ore raw colours and the way she has been presented. The close up of her gives a more personal feel the the cover which is what the audience is looking for. The framing of the image is also a lot better because there is not a lot of negative space around her face, which gives the audience more to look at.

the graphics at the bottom right hand corner also stand out well because of the colour and the style. The font is very formal and works well with the image because she looks femanine. Because the graphics are also black, they stand out because of the fact that the rest of the image a very bright and a lot lighter than the writing. I am very pleased with this CD cover and will use this as the final.

I now have to create the rest of the digital pack which needs to be relivant with the front cover. Therefore i will be using images within this shoot to create it. i will use the paint splatters throughout the pack aswell so carry out a theme or style.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK.

For our ancillary task, we both thought it would be a good idea to include Gabrielle Aplins fans comments about her actual EP. Thereofre we used social networking sites Twitter and Facebook and publish posts asking for feedback. Once we got these comments we used them within the CD cover.


Here we used Tumblr, "What do you think of Gabrielle Aplin's EP?" We thought that as Tumblr is still a new and not very known about social networking site, that we will get more honest and detailed answers instead of comments that were not very important.

Once again, we asked people on Facebook. As Gabrielle Aplin has a fan page and over 13,000 followers, it would be a lot easier to post a comment on her wall about her EP. As fans on the page are very "into" her music we will get a lot of good feedback and would be able to use this within our ancillary task.

Here we used Twitter. We asked a specific question about the actual song we were using which is called "Ghosts!" we got a lot of feedback on this page as twitter is widely used across the world. We got a wide variety of different answers which is what we were hoping for.

NEW PHOTOSHOOT.

We experimented with the first photo shoot we had produced but the final outcome wasnt what we had hoped as looking back at other artists CD covers, they had nothing in common. Therefore we produced a new photo shoot with Charley really dress up with her hair and make-up done in a bright style. Our shoot was located in a white studio backdrop and i positioned the lights in the way that the model would look more professional. Once i had set up the studio for the photo shoot, my model (Charley) was positioned in different ways, and also changed outfits. I took long shots and close ups of her along with extreme close ups as we could use them as well. Here are some of the images i feel would work well for the CD cover.

This image is a good image because of the closeness of the model. As she is taking up most of the frame it seems interesting and fun to look at. The colours also work well together because the colour of her hair contrasting with the lip colour really stand out and give a wacky feel to the image.

The angle the picture has been taken on also works well because as the angle is high, she is looking up at the camera which makes her seem slightly valnerable which is what the music video is about. So this would be a good image to use for the front cover.

This image is a good image to use for the fornt CD cover because of the closeness and personal feel to the photograph. The colours are bright and colourful which would also attract the audience to the CD if it was to be bought.

There will need to be some cropping involved when editing the image because it is the wrong shape and there is too much negative space for a CD cover or the inside pages but it will work perfectly when finished.
