Conclusion

After receiving feedback on the original website idea we were told that it did not create a brand identity for the band as it was vastly different in terms of colour scheme and appearance to the digipack design. After this feedback we decided to scrap the original website design and make a whole new one completely from scratch. This time around we used themes that carried over from the digipack design such as the colours and sketch drawings of flowers. This new design also much better presents the band as the previous website design felt far too corporate for a band of their age and music genre, making this new design overall a much greater success and a much more appropriate website to represent the band.

Final Edit

This is our final edit that we will be submitting. Whilst creating the video we had many problems with actors and locations causing us to have to change some of our original narrative to fit what we were able to do. We also realised whilst creating the piece that a song over 4 minutes long was too long and we were advised to shorten it to make the video more compact so that we did not take away from it's effect on the viewer

FINAL DIGIPACK

My digipack is heavily influenced by Arcade Fire - Funeral. The colour scheme is quite warm and matches the website to an extent. The front colour clearly states the band name, originally I used the bands black and white logo but decided the brown matches the scheme a lot more, although the spine sticks to the original colouring. I made sure all 4 pages have a reoccurring theme, using the animals and sketched flowers. The song names on the back page are all shadowed as it looks more artistic and stylised. The inside page has a section of the song 'your majesty', to relate back to the band and the music video we made. The website and digipack are connected, creating brand identity. The colours suggest this, as well as the wildlife sketches. The background of the CD cover is the same as the bathroom flooring, as we felt an off white was better for the band's image. Overall, i think the digipack is successful in expressing the identity of the band.
