Rather than using an entire news board for the reverse side, I will most likely use one of the images I have taken of a 2-dimensional news board against a brick wall. This idea has proved to be far more practical as using a 3-dimensional board posed the issue of getting the correct angle and size to fit the entire image so that you can still read the writing on the news board, whilst still having enough room to fit the track titles, being the initial idea. One shot I have taken is shown below. It was particularly difficult to achieve a good angle to fit the whole of the board on the screen of the camera.
Minimal amount of news board visible, and not enough room in which to place track titles.
Instead, these are a few I have taken on the board against the brick wall. One bonus of this progression of ideas is that the bricks can connote the urban atmosphere in which the majority of the music video itself was shot, and is fitting to the ska genre and youthful, urban target audience I am trying to appeal to. I can now also use the individual bricks as a method of showing the track names of the E.P. I can use Adobe Photoshop to insert text onto the bricks to make them look as though graffiti writing has been painted on them, as shown below. Development on this graffiti idea is shown in the previous post when analysing the 'Does it offend you, yeah?' album artwork.
Evidence here of thoughtful planning with your ideas strongly evaluated. I like this design idea - I think the idea of the newspaper board gives you an oppportunity to have a poke at bankers thus grounding your productions in contemporary debates. "Money grabbing women" reinforces the misogynist ideology of the tabloid press!! Have a think about it.
ReplyDeleteOverall excellent planning of your digipak with detailed and intelligent evaluation of ideas and strong references to the cotemporary political climate. Well done Ben.
