Task 58: Feedback on ancillary work
The feedback I received for my digipak from the target audience was that it was very plain and the 'greyscale' effect didn't do it justice. Also I was told that the font for the artists name 'Kai'li Klark' looked too formal for genre of music and for the album cover in general. Moreover, the inside panel of the album was also plain as I hadn't really focused upon it at the time and need to do work more thoroughly.
Task 57: Screenshots of Ancillary products in production
During the production of my ancillary products I first went for a 'grayscale' image mode but after realising this effect didn't give the work justice. So I opted to us the 'quick selection tool' for the picture and 'refine edge' to provide a transparent/or any colour background.
Then I used the effect of 'double exposure' intertwining the image I edited earlier of the artist with the 'quick selection tool' and a picture of the scenery which the beach and made a holo effect of the artist with the scenery making up the colours, providing a unique effect and corresponding to our music video due to the fact that it was black and white. But the colour on the album cover represents the feelings and emotions of the artist.
For the inside cover of the album, I went for a simple design the the same picture of the scenery as the front for the inside cover with a 'HDR toning' effect to slightly darken and amplify the image. The disk for the album consists of a 'Dreamcatcher' on the front as it shows the synergy object and it is on a plain grey disk with a white outline.

Inside Cover
Before:
From the start I had decided I wanted to make my CD black and white, so it matches the music video. But I wasn't so sure about the background choice, but ended up settling with a establishing shot of the beach. I liked the natural colouring but soon realised it didn't look as appealing.
In between editing:
Whilst editing to the inside cover of my digipak,, I realised the black and white CD suited the image only when it was in monochrome effect. However, after getting feedback I realised it was not as appealing to others and it looked quite dull as well, so I decided to change it.
After:
This is my final choice and I'm pleased with this because I think the natural colouring of the establishing shot is more eye catching and pleasing. I ended up changing the CD colour to a light grey as I thought it suited the background image more, and decided to keep the white font.
Back Cover
Before:
I was not really pleased with the back cover of my digipak, I didn't like the monochrome effect I chose to match the music video. I thought it looked messy and out of place, and after receiving good feedback I decided to change it all around.
After:
After:
I ended up changing the image near the track list of songs as the image before didn't stand out nor did it look effective. It only made my digipak look plain. The image that I ended up choosing, made it look simplistic and eye catching. I decided to keep it in a natural colouring with a bit of effect, this match
