Digipak: Inlay and CD

 *Skips intro*


I filled the background layer with black and added noise to it to maintain the consistency. Unlike adding a little bit like previously, there had to be a significant amount of grain on the inlay.


In order to make the CD, I used the ellipse tool and made the outer outline, the inner rim and one more light pink circle around the inner rim. I outlined the CD with hot pink to keep up with the theme (even though in a lil while the outline will be barely visible). I added a slight outer glow effect to the circle as well to make it stand out more prominently.

Next, I selected the first inlay we had made, copied it and pasted it onto this file. I moved this layer right above the outer circle layer, and below the inner two circle layers, and applied the clipping mask which made the pattern layer fit into the circle. This made the CD stand out starkly against the right inlay (which is a convention in digipaks) and also added consistency overall, especially inside the digipak.


Here's the finished product:

Social Media Page Research & Analysis

For our social media page, we decided to make our artist's account on Instagram. We had several reasons for this, the main one being our target audience. Our artist herself is supposed to be a "zennial" (gen z and millennial cusper) so naturally, our target audience, as also previously discussed during our research phase, is the age group 16-30 (including the secondary target audience). The primary target age group (late teens and early 20s) are significantly more present and active on Instagram. This is also why a majority of artists now, despite having accounts on both platforms, are more active on Instagram because they get greater engagement with their target audience. Secondly, Facebook appears to have a more conservative demographic and is subject to regulation by media watchdogs to a greater extent than Instagram. So considering our video contains a depiction of a lesbian couple, if it happens to fall under the viewership of people with conservative views (which is...

Music Videos - what's the point?

There doesn't have to be a point, you love them. If you don't, you do . In the music industry as we know it today, music videos have become a vital part of it, especially with platforms like YouTube (which we're all very much familiar with) that cater to streaming music videos. Apparently 55% of YouTube users watch music videos everyday (it's me, I'm users). The significance of music videos can be observed in the way award shows now have categories for them - Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and there's too many to list. So, I daresay, for people of mainstream pop-culture, it's grown to become a competition with artists setting and breaking records for views. Music videos, though initially made to promote artists or films, do a lot more than just that now. Prominent artists, with their large fanbases, in the industry dominate charts worldwide each time they make a comeback and drop an MV. These music videos address a variety of things: They could add...
