Find examples of digipaks and magazine albums
Here is an example of a digipak. This is for Michael Jackson’s – This is it. The digipak appears like a book which has many pages with images of his tour, a track list and a credit list with the names of producers, composes etc. The CDs are hidden within the miniature book and are inside a paper wallet. The first CD is of his songs and the second is demos of other songs by the artist. Throughout the CD the same style imagery and font styles are used to create a brand identity for the artist, this includes most images of him on stage performing.
The layout of the artists name and the album name immediately below was aesthetically clear and precise. Secondly the use of a quote from a reputable source on the album was something that would give a greater promotion.
Unit 54 Digital Graphics for print
Understand graphic formats and application
Definitions:
Raster - A rectangular pattern of parallel scanning lines followed by the electron beam on a television screen or computer monitor. A raster image is made of up pixels, each a different colour, arranged to display an image. A bitmap, a single-bit raster, corresponds bit-for-bit with an image displayed on a screen, generally in the same format used for storage in the display's video memory, or maybe as a device-independent bitmap. A raster is technically characterized by the width and height of the image in pixels and by the number of bits per pixel (or colour depth, which determines the number of colors it can represent).[
Vector - A vector image is made up of paths, each with a mathematical formula (vector) that tells the path how it is shaped and what colour it is bordered with or filled by.One of the first uses of vector graphic displays was the US SAGE air defense system. Vector graphics systems were only retired from U.S. en route air traffic control in 1999, and are likely still in use in military and specialised systems. Vector graphics were also used on the TX-2 at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory by computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland to run his program Sketchpad in 1963.
Metafiles - A piece of graphical information stored in a format that can be exchanged between different systems or software.Microsoft uses this term for its Windows Metafile (WMF) format. A WMF file contains a sequence of graphical-device-interface (GDI) function calls ("commands" to the Windows operating system ) that results in the presentation of a graphic image. Some of the function calls are equivalent to vector graphics statements and others identify stored bitmap or literal specifications of which bits to illuminate ( raster graphics images).
File extensions - A file extension or file name extension is the ending of a file that helps identify the type of file in operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. ... For example, the file name "myfile.txt" has an extension of ".txt", which is a file name extension associated with text files. Computer files have specific characteristics which depend on the software that created them. If you try to open a file using the wrong program, it will fail to open or sometimes even crash the program. The last part of the file name is used to indicate the type of file so the computer can open the correct program when you want to use the file.

The last part of the file name is used to indicate the type of file so the computer can open the correct program when you want to use the file.
In the early days of the personal computer, file names consisted of up to seven characters followed by a file extension consisting of a full stop and three characters. But since 1995, file names can be much longer and the main part of the name can include full stops. So now the last full stop in the name is considered to mark the start of the file extension.
Unit 29- Music Videos- Assignment 3
This is the link to our music video- The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars:

This is the link to the behind the scenes and blooper reel as evidence for our music video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnmOlspA4kM&feature=youtu.be
During our filming and editing Daniel and I had our own roles to ensure the task would be completed on a high standard. During filming, I was the director and Daniel was the actor. With each shot and sequence we both talked about each scene in depth about the stage directions and meaning to each shot. From the bts video, I instructed Dan to try and bring out a creative character as much as possible, he was able to create the character I wanted.
Within the behind the scenes video 'bloopers' were also included showing that not everything was perfect on the first try and that a lot of time and effort was spent in order to ensure we attained the correct shots that we needed. As you know, it took trial and error in order to ensure that we could get the footage that was needed for the music video. As the director I ensured that Dan was listening to me where if there was anything unclear or if I felt there was anything that needed further discussing we would consult one another throughout the video (as can be seen at certain points throughout the behind the scenes video.
In post-production Daniel undertook the role of the main editor but I also worked together to decide what was best for video and what could be done to further enhance the overall quality and professional standard of the music video. I spoke to Daniel about including visual graphics to help bring the music video to life. In order to ensure the video was industry standard we made sure the lip-synchronisation was next to perfect and made sure that the narrative of the story made sense.
Audience Feedback
After showing the video to an audience we got:
Animation and graphics to enhance exp
Use of tech ability
Lip synching on point
Clear narrative
Well done, good attempt
Used a number of aspects.
