Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown [Official Music Video]

I have found that due to time constraints and heavy booking in the theater that useing it as the backdrop for the rest of my video in not going to be possible.This video inspired me to mix my lyric video with actual footage which I plan to shoot in the green room useing an effect similar to the one I already used during the intro to my lyric video. I will be shooting as soon as possible as the editing stage will be fairly lengthy..

Digipak Update

 

This is the final design for my CD front cover. I managed to find a text i like and asking around others agree that this is a much better font. above this is my back cover for my CD. I used the new font for the titles and based it on other CD cases I had at home such as green days american idiot album.

These are digipak examples I have made useing my images and templates. The top example I plan to print and fold into a mock CD.

Update on lyric video

I created this video in Adobe Premier Pro and used Adobe After Effect for some of the more elaborate effects. This video in my advertising capaign would be released with the single to attract attention to the album and hype up the video so it would get more views and encourage people to buy the album.

Alternatives

Here are some alternative Copy's of my CD cover and Tour poster, Compared with their originals.

Audience Feedback

Yesterday I asked a class of AS students what they thought of my CD Cover, Magazine Ad and Tour Ad. I got both negative and positive feedback this post it to bullet point summarise what the class said.
CD Cover
Comments;

• Font is minorly illegible
• Font and image fit each other and the genre well
• Colours work well
• Needs more that just a cover

Changes;

• Consider other fonts carefully to make alternatives and have them re-evaluated by audience 
• Expand to full digipak

Magazine Ad
Comments;

• Stars are good touch/match genre (Popular rock tatoo)
• Fonts work well
• Grammar needs correcting
• Layout is convenional makes it easily recognisable and professional looking
• House style fits with CD Cover
• Colours work well especially the Red

Changes;

• Correct Grammar

Tour Ad;
Comments;

• Colours work well
• Image would be better focused
• Image is good but should demand more attention
• Represents genre well
• Convertional looking (dates at bottom)

Changes;

• Create alternative layouts without moving dates for re-evaluation.

Tour Poster

I decided to create a tour poster as usually when a band releases a new album they go on tour shortly after. I researched into other tour posters and found that converntionally the band names dominate the poster surrounded by a picture or logo and that the dates and locations are listed to the bottom of the page as it draws your eyes down after the main picture and text have caught your attention. I decided to use the picture I did as the face paint has connotations of metal linking to such bands as kiss and black viel brides.
