Digipak Ancillary

For my digipak project, I created a mock up album cover of what Arcane's album would look like. I used synergy by adding the eye effect over the original eye, and resizing the image to make the eye more noticeable.

Ancillary Draft

This is my first draft of an idea of our CD cover. I kept the same text for the front and the back but changed the colour. The eye feature is to symbolise our artist , meaning when you see this image you straight away think of our artist which is Arcane.

Disclosure Website

Disclosure's main website uses a simple but effective black and white colour-scheme. The white against the black background is effective to present to us different links that take us further into the website. These are: Blog, Music, Photo, Live, Store and Video. This offers fans a lot to do on the website such a go through pictures, purchase merchandise or watch their latest videos which are all listed in the video section as seen below. Also, they effectively promote their brand image through the website as the face outline art is used frequently, which is well know by their fans. The face appears on album covers and in music videos which creates synergy across all platforms. It can also be seen that in the top right they also have social media links. These include Twitter, Facebook and Spotify. This offers fans multiple platforms in order to interact with the artists. 

Feedback from the Pitch

We were given feedback our pitch from everyone from each group which commented on how well our pitch went, what could be improved and if they had any questions.

Cameo of Arcane

We feel the cameo for our artist, Arcane, needs to be very well done. We want to ensure to our audience that Arcane is still a huge part of the final product, as everything is based around him. However, for the video, we want to make the cameo he makes, a very special thing.

One thing we were still debating over was how the cameo was done. Whether it be him reading a newspaper, buying something at a shop, etc. We wanted to still make it a special thing for the audience to see.

Someone that we feel has done several cameos in their own products is Stan Lee. Although not a music producer, we admire how Stan Lee has been able to still appear in his own work, as such regular characters. Had there been more music videos, Arcane would be seen to do the exact same thing of 'secretly' appearing in his own music videos.

Below are examples of Stan Lee's cameos.



Having said that, we will make the cameo scene for Arcane dependent on the shot/location where Daniel David is singing. We feel this would be best, rather than forcing the cameo to happen before the shots are done themselves.

Pitch 9 - Draft Ancillary (Seun)

For our design idea, we wanted to follow a similar structure to the original use of synergy. The scribble is heavily effective, and is used in music videos, as well as album covers. Below are a few examples:

 

 

Therefore, to follow the effect trend, we attempted a simple idea of using a scribble over our main picture. 

We wanted to be sure that it was possible in order to make the artwork actually work, which we feel will work.
