Ancillary Production: DRAFT For New Idea

This is the stage where I am during my process of Ancilliary Production. My advertisement is nearly finished and this was the easier project I found between the three. The hardest one is making the front cover as I want it to appeal to a big audience and make them understand straight away the meaning of forgiveness. I am currently struggling on my back cover as I am finding it difficult to recreate from my planning project which was to have a shadow of the artist and creating the opacity making it realistic is something I am unable to do. I am also half way through my inside digipack, my plan is to write the songs' title again inside creating a 'stairs form.'

The inner panels and CD

I have created a separate image of the CD for the digipak. The third image shows the inner panels of the digipak when the CD is not inserted in it - a transition of the artist appearing (fading in) is shown. The fourth image shows what the right side of the inner panel of the digipak will look like when the CD is in it. We will have one clear image of the artist, his name and the album name. I did this as it makes the CD look siple and easy on the eye.  

Ancillaryn Planning: Changes to Ideas And Short List Of Photos Etc

I personally felt that when I had to change my initial ideas, thought that I was not going in the right direction as I spent so much time thinking about it and this made me lose my confidence as I was running out of time of planning and my colleagues were already starting their digipak. I quickly thought of a new plan and came up with this brilliant idea that would meant changing my sketch and drawing a new one. That also meant that I had to take new pictures in order to create it. Below is a short list of pictures I had to take to make it work.


                                                                       



Because of this I had to draw a new plan for my digipak.

Followed this I decided to use the same style as I planned before as I didn't want my old plan to go to waste also my new plan fitted my old style too.

Ancillary Planning: Costume For New Idea

My artist will wear a hoodie and one in a suit with him in the suit looking back at the one in the hoodie. My sketch below will show an example.

Ancillary: Editing (2)

1) Cut the artist out and placed him on black background, then altered the size.

My original idea consisted of my artist facing away from each other, and looked good in the mock-up and how I had imagined it. However, when I created this, it did not look right in my eyes. Therefore, I changed my idea to have him facing himself. I then showed both ideas to other students for feedback on which will look better - a unanimous decision was made to use the second idea. 

The second idea works better as it shows the artist's 'old' and 'new' side looking directly at each other and seems like a battle between his personalities. Furthermore, it looks better with the font which I have chosen as the 'V' acts as a divider.
