Final Music Video

My Feedback

Below is my feedback on my fellow peers groups on there very own digipaks and feedback on there own websites.

Loud Summit:


Digipak 1st draft

Digipak feedback:
Images/photography and colour scheme/effects:
I like the colour scheme as it matches in every single photo. The front cover and the back cover photos are of very high quality and the logo above the band name loud summit also works very well. The guitar image on the back cover is good as bands always have a guitar in. This matches the genre very well. I don't like the right hand corner photo as the quality is poor. However I like the idea of having Marcus coming out of the doors as he is the lead singer at which take more of the limelight.
The text is very clear and it is matched throughout the digipak. The front cover text is very good as the purple over the loud summit works very well.  The star image is shown with Marcus as he is in the centre of the frame between the three of them. I would change the quality of the right hand side corner. I like the CD section and the different colours work well.
Final grade - 8/9

Website feedback:
There is a large gap at the top of the website could that be reduced? Very good detailed information on the front page. I don't like the background tho and i don't see how it links with the genre. The gallery is good. I like the tour poster page and the store. It can be improved by the background.
6/7

iSO:

Digipak 1st draft
Digipak feedback:
Images/photography and colour scheme/effects:
I don't like the colour scheme, the black with the information of the album songs aswell as the special thanks page does not go well together. There is to much contrast. The front cover is good as it has one image of the artist centre of the frame and the font works very well throughout the digipak it matches the rap genre. I would prefer to see ISO's name in a larger font as this is his first album and they have focused more on the album title. The two DNA effect to match the album title is a good idea however I feel the use of one is better as this doesn't really advertise ISO as an artist. I like the CD I think that a simple CD with the colours works really well and matches the genre. There is a good range of information on the digipak.  I think there could be more photos of ISO, that are different, the same image is used three times on the digipak and I think it works for the front cover but not the rest.
Final grade - 6

Website feedback:
Good layout on the front page and its good that it points straight to the new album. The quality of the iso could be improved. The about page is good and i like the way it goes straight to instagram. News page is the best page and its very good detail. I like the discount on the store. The map on the contact page is good. Could the background move at all?

No Individual:
Digipak 1st draft
Digipak feedback:
Images/photography and colour scheme/effects:
The colour scheme is lost halfway through the digipak, it starts off black and white although then there is colour on his face aswell as the clouds in the sky, therefore the colour scheme is not the same throughout. The photos match the genre of indie pop, at which it is an abstract genre, although i think the digipak is quite plain and dull, there is not much to be entertained about. I like the fact that there band name is in a larger font than the album name. The back of the album the tracks are not very clear and there is little information on the digipak itself. I think that there is a lot needed to improve this digipak. I think there needs to be more theme towards there music video which is water, this at the moment is not effective with the music video aswell.
Final grade - 5

Website feedback:
The home page is good although the email bit to the left hand side doesnt work. Quite dull at the front page. The background on the other pages are very good i like the movement. I want a link with water on the front page. Good information about the band members themselves.

Soraya:

Digipak 1st draft
Digipak feedback:
Images/photography and colour scheme/effects
The colour scheme works really well together and matches the genre of indie. The CD itself is really good and i liked the paint effect which is a theme throughout the music video aswell. The image on the front I think is really effective as they have a constant theme at which Soraya's hair is covering her face. The layout of the album is very good and the track list is very well done. The quality of the photos is the same throughout all the photos and it is of very good quality. I like the font which they used on the digipak and i liked the fact that the artists name is in a larger font than the album title as as a new artist she needs to advertise herself. The digipak however does remind me of Rihanna's front digipak which hints towards more pop genre.
Final grade - 7/8

Website feedback:
Looks like Rihannas digipak the front cover remind me to much of that. Layout on the front can be improved although the top of the website has a very nice layout. The movement of the background i really like and the news page is very good. The gallery style works very well. The sign up page works well. and the store is good.

Sweet Nothing:
Digipak 1st draft

Digipak feedback:  
Images/photography and colour scheme/effects
The digipak has a constant theme of silhouettes which i think is very good as it links well with the album title light me up. I like the fact that as a band they have all their photos on the main front cover as usually bands only have the lead singer. I think as though this was a little rushed for the first draft therefore it is difficult to give feedback. They need to make sure that it is not too repetitive, there could maybe be more information given on the images of the silhouettes
 Final grade - 6-7

Website feedback:
Very good layout and the photo on the front is good. I like the way the name of there band appears. Very good movement on the other pages. Good in depth information about each individual artist. The store can be improved I think in the sense of the cart and maybe a discount? Other than that i like the gallery and it suits the genre very well.
