Changing The CD Design
So I ran into a problem. Yikes! The idea in my head of the CD design inspired by Olly Murs, with the eyes looking up, wasn't looking so good when I actual went and put my plan to practice. That was quite a shame at first, since it was a really good idea which I felt added a twist to our CD design. However, I put my miseries to end and used this opportunity to come up with a couple more designs and styles. The idea of having the braces on the CD was one which I had to try out. This wasn't just a random selection, I used this opportunity to continue on the idea of braces, combining my music video and ancillary work together through clothing. This made it much more clear that the two pieces of work (music video & ancillary) belonged together rather than something which was out of the blue and an almost random picture.
Now I've begun to believe that the eyes picture not working out was actually a blessing in disguise as my disc looks A LOT better with the image of the braces on. I will probably still work on the opacity of the image, making it a little more clearer, but I thought the colours and design look really well. With the first image, I would've had to also add in a colour for the background of the CD, and it may have looked pretty plain. However this design has offered that ongoing theme and synergy not only between the 4 panels of the CD & advert, but also my music video. Quite evidently, I've also added in a template of a CD design, and made the circular middle transparent in order to make the product seem a lot more professional. These are just basic tweaks and touches I am making as I work along, and hopefully there are many more to come during my journey to creating the perfect digipak!
