My feedback sheet given was as expected; I did not like my digipak at all and completely regretted my idea choice as soon as I had completed it, I was expecting the worse in a sense as I was hoping that my teachers would not like it either. I will change my ideas completely and start from scratch taking inspiration heavily from another band's existing digipak.
I was marked a 2/10 for my digipak due to:
Digipak lacks cohesion, the cover is ok but the rest just doesn't work. The burgundy isn't very indie and the window whilst a bit Magritte isn't Magritte. The back cover doesn't need HMV and Apple, it does need legal jargon though. The band sitting down is boring and just seems like a filter and the three panels spanned by 'The Skeleton Boys' seems like a kids party CD.
Following this I was marked another 2/10 for:
Poster. Better, still that horrid colour though. This could work but needs to be more striking and strong (Meg's works because she's ripped off The XX), I'm not sure lower case works. Kerrang and the Telegraph aren't appropriate reviews. I don't think the shadow font is right either.
- I completely agree with the feedback I received and am more than happy to start over again; I did not like my design at the time after I had created it but I decided to receive feedback on it anyway to find out how to improve my general ideas as I could not quite bring it to life.
However I have now been set on track with an idea, and will create a second draft to present to my teachers before finalising my design.
