Fonts

MC Cabe

As a group we visited www.dafont.com which is a website which has a number of fonts that you can download. We decided that these fonts are the ones we are going to pick our final font out of. They all relate to the grime genre and are all good and suitable in their own ways.

Our CD Digipack draft


When we was designing out CD Digipack, we came up with a number of ideas to use and ideas of where we can take our photos. For example the picture of London city in the top right corner is going to stretch over to two panels and be a long photo which we are going to take. When we film our footage in London we are going to take a number of pictures and see what one we believe suits best. Also we used the computer to find a suitable font which related to our genre. We thought that this font we used for our track list suited the grime genre. We have pictures of our band sitting on the wall, with our main performer who is Casey McCabe standing out in the picture as he is sitting down and we can see his whole body compared to just me and Nathan's face. The other picture of us in the bottom right panel was our main idea for our front cover. This shows us as a band in the main part of the picture as we are in the middle. As we had a black and white printer we could not make this how we intended as we are going to have us 3 as a band in colour, and the rest of the picture black and white so we stand out. This picture is going to be taken in waterloo station and we are going to take it again as this picture is done as an edit on photoshop.

Digipack CD Cover info

A digipack is a little cardboard booklet which holds CD's for a band or an artist but also has photos, pictures and promotion posters inside. They also have all of the songs from the album inside the digipack.

There are certain things that make a digipack effective. For example the digipack should stand out, this can be by using bright colours or by using images and fonts that catch attention. The digipack should also relate to the band or artists genre. This can be by having lots of pictures or images of them performing or together as a band.

What i believe are Good Digipacks

Our final location

As a group we have thought alot about our final location for our music video. As our first idea we chose to go brighton and film our music video by the pier and on the beach. However we do not have access to a car anymore and have come up with a better and a more suitable idea. We have chosen to go to southbank in London and film some of our music video here. The graffiti and the urban surroundings set our music genre and here are some pictures of this:
