Digipack magazine advertisment + screenshots of editing process

 

Above is the original image I started with, without any editing.

This is what it looked like with a blue cooling filter over layered onto it. I decided I did not like this as it does not fit in with any existing examples I have looked at.

Above is how I decided to have to overall colour of the advertisement; with a warming yellow filter and high contrast. I feel it looks good and is very similar to indie band The Smiths' album posters. I chose to type out the artist's name in a brown 'Georgia' font (also similar to that of The Smiths) to start with.

To get the colour of the font to stand out more noticeably I copied the layer and brightened the second layer, to make it seem bolder.

About is the final text used in the poster. I did the same technique with 'the debut album' text, only this time I used italic font. I then used the same font for the rest of the text, only with different sizes and a brighter gold colour so that it stands out from the other text.

The last thing I did was put "available at:" and then the HMV.com logo. This is a convention found on all magazine advertisement's I looked at, whether it be Amazon.com  or Play.com, they all had information on where to buy the album or single in question.

This is the start of the template before I began to add the front cover, back cover and images to make the digipack. 

 

This shows the process of editing the text on the CD using the filter gallery's tool 'plastic wrap' to give it a slight metallic effect so that it looks more professional. I did this because the existing examples I analyzed that  appeal to my same target audience have done this.

I had to size each image the same width and height.

Legality of music promotion

The main copyright that exists in music is the ©, ‘C in a circle' copyright logo that applies to composition, lyrics, musical score, as well as artwork and cover designs. The second type of copyright applies to the sound recording itself, and is signified by the ‘P in a circle’.

An example of a breach of album cover copyright/restrictions is Vampire Weekend's album 'Contra'. They used an image of a girl from 1983, named Ann Kirsten Kennis, for their front cover without asking for her permission. She in turn sued them for using her image.

The album artwork used for Vampire Weekends 'Contra' breached copyright laws.
