Blog 20- Evaluation and Feedback of the Video

This blog contains the evaluation of my video, the camera work involved, feedback and other comments on the overall project.

I have decided to produce some of the evaluation in PowerPoint form as it will be more effective in making comparisons.

Here is the link to my evaluation of the overall project:

Feedback and what I have learnt from it:

I will use FaceBook for feedback, conduct interviews with several people and use questionnaires to gain an overal understanding on what others think of the production and use this to reflect on the project and explain what I would do differently now.

My feedback via Facebook/ YouTube was mainly peoples overall opinion of my video; there were no set questions they had to answer. So this method of feedback was successful in allowing me to draw conclusions on any major problems with the video and what people thought was good etc.

Questionnaires via Email:

This method of feedback I felt was suitable as it allowed people to fill the questionnaire out at anytime as they could email it back to me rather then paper questionnaire; I feel this method is suitable for Lady Gaga as she is constantly trying new things and dvelops like technology does.

I used Qualitative questions to gain in depth information ad I feel Quantitative questions don't get the persons view but just a simple yes or no answers; there's no room for creativity.

I used this method to gain an understanding on whether my video was seen to suite its genre, Lady gaga's style and if it was on t.v would it be watched.

Video interviews via Skype and face to face:

These interviews were interesting as the other two methods had been conducted without me being there so to actually have a conversation about the music video was interesting. I had a set list of qualitative questions because that would make the answers more easy to compare and draw conclusions from.

I did two face to face filmed interviews and I did two via skype this is because some people were unavailable to meet up but wished to participate in the interviews. I uploaded the interviews to YouTube and posted the links below :

Blog 19- Finished Video

I have uploaded our final video to YouTube and the link is below:

Blog 18- Creative Camera Use And Editing.

I really like the technique we used here during filming; it looks like the actor is floating in the air. When editing the light that came under the curtain we added a blue tint to the light and made them brighter. This made them appear as spotlights which I felt made it really suited to our artist.

We used a tracking shot to look like the person was being followed we then edited the shot and within our video faded from colour to grey scale and then back to colour. I really liked this effect as it made it look abstract and also fitted into our story well and highlights the characters loneliness.

We achieved this shot by using a zoom into a extreme close up; to highlight the lip's and the brush strokes. i really like this use of camera as I felt it tied in with the lyrics of leaving, I also think it is something that Lady Gaga would use as it looks very artistic which is a style that is a regular occurrence in her videos.

We achieved this shot by placing the camera on floor level, and positioning the actress lying horizontal to the camera. I really like how its on the same level as her face and feel it was a good shot within our video as it added a difference to the sequence of shots leading up to it.

Blog 16- Advert

I am also creating an advert for my artist using photo shop, but before I create mine I will analyse two adverts of artists from the same genre, then draw some flat plans before creating my final design.

Analysis 1:

From looking at this advert the genre automatically sticks out as POP due to the bright colours and text, the advert I think is aimed at females in particular however the way the artist is dressed may also attract a male audience.

Theme:

It is clear that the advert follows the same theme as the CD cover, the backgrounds are identical; both include the picket fence and the sky with the clouds. The only difference is with the positioning of the artist; it includes her standing by a paddling pool, she is the centre of the advertisement and your eyes are immediately drawn to the image; at a glance it is easy to tell that it's Katy perry.

Colours:

The colours all match and don't conflict each other, the CD cover includes similar colours to the advert; pink top, purple/blue shorts. these colours are stereotypically feminine colours which contradicts the title of the album "One Of the Boys" I feel this is a good idea as audience will find it entertaining as the advert is the complete opposite of masculinity.

Text:

The artists name is the largest text on the page; this makes it easy for audience to read, the text is bold and coloured pink, the language used also makes the artist sound amazing as it uses words such as "smash hit" "The album" which is all language which makes people feel they need/want to purchase this product. However I do feel the let down for the advert is the colouring of the album title; "one of the boys" it is a baby blue colour and is places over a cloud; I find it doesn't stand out and is difficult to read this means the advert is relying on audiences to remember the image of the CD rather then the name which i feel lets it down.

Imagery:

The imagery is well laid out; it is a long shot of Katy Perry stood upright; the image takes up the left half of the advert and draws you attention; she is wearing bright coloured clothing to make her stand out from the background. the image doesn't look provocative like some adverts so it is aimed at a large sample of people and doesn't just apply to one group within society.

Analysis 2:

From looking at the cover I would think the genre is soul music however Simon Webb is part of the POP genre so i feel the cover doesn't express a set genre. I also wouldn't know which gender it is aimed at making me think that it is aimed at a wider audience as though its trying to discover what target group will be attracted to this sound and artist.

Theme:

The cover has quiet a religious theme to it with the singer wearing white with the hands crossed over the chest, the whole cover matches the title "Grace" which is why I think it is following the religious theme.

Imagery:

There is one main image which is a medium close up shot of the artist dressed in a white outfit, he's positioned looking down with his eyes shut and hands crossed over the chest. It looks extremely religious. I feel the image would grab a potential buyers eye as the white makes the image stand out.

Text:

At the top centre aligned is the artists name and album title; this is aligned well and placed in the right place as its the first place the audience will look.

The wording then is "hear tracks on my album" this makes it feel personal and as if He's personally addressing the audience. Below the image there is a lot of text which is small which I'm not to keen on as it makes it look crowded.

Colours:

The colour scheme seems to be black,white and yellow. The colours combine well and none clash it gives it a POP/soul kind of feel to it. The colour use makes the text and image stand out which is important.

From analysing the two products above I have seen that they tend to follow a similar design as the digipak, Bearing this in mind I have drawn three flat plans each incorporate different factors from my digipak to help them follow the same theme and style.

Flat plan 1:

Theme:

This design will follow the theme of the cover of my digipak; it will include the same image and will include similar colours as the digipak. It will also follow the whole modern half and 60's half image so that it matches the title of "Past + Present". The page will be split into three columns so that information is spread out efficiently so that the audience can take in each aspect of the advert. It will look feminine however it won;t be specifically aimed just at females but instead her target audience which covers a variety of ages and both genders. It will also be catered towards her genre so that it is similar to her current style rather then completely changing it.

Colours:

The colours will follow the same pattern as the digipak; this is because that will be sticking to the similar theme and also the colours chosen all match. the left column will be coloured bright pink which matches the eye makeup in the image.

Text:

I will use the same font and it will be bold and large as it needs to catch the audiences eye from a distance. It will be approximately size 20 as it will make it readable from a distance. I will have the text laid out so that on each line there will be one word and each will be slightly indented more to give the text a diagonal look. I will include the words "Out now" in capitals as it will remind people that it can be bought now, also something I have included on the design is I will include writing saying "Includes #1 single Brown eyes and exclusive video" along the bottom of the advert as it will be advertising my music video and be an added selling point for my digipak.

Imagery:

I will include two images, one in the same column as the text which will be the cover of my digipak so that audiences can tell that its the advert for that cover and also to familiarise them with what the cover looks like. The second image will dominate the other columns across the page; it will be a face divided into two half's similar to the digipak one coloured to represent the modern day Lady Gaga and one styled 60's look and coloured black and white to represent the "Past". The shot will be a close up to capture the emotion on the face and the extreme makeup.

Flat Plan 2:

Theme:

Again It will follow the same theme as my digipak but this time it will be divided into three sections like the other flat plan except one column will be vertical whilst the other two columns will be horizontal to make it more dynamic looking and spaced out. I feel it will suite the genre of POP as it will include bright colours and bold dynamic make up which I think Lady Gaga's audience look for.

Colours:

The two half's bottom column will be black and the top column will be bright pink; both these colours are used on my digipak which I feel will link these two products so that an audience could relate to them both. The two colours both match well with each other and will make the advert stand out but will not be too much of an eyesore.

Text:

I will use language which will sell the product words such as "exclusive", "#1 single" and will include some quotes about what people think. The text on the pink background will be black for the digipak name and the text about the product will be white, the text on the black background will be bright pink; I have chosen these colours as the text on my digipak as they all work well together in making the advert eye catching and readable from a distance.

Imagery:

This time I have chosen to use only modern half of the face as I feel it contrasts the colour scheme well and makes the advert look really modern and also is suited to Lady Gaga as I feel no one else would use imagery like this; ones that are bright and dynamic looking.

Flat plan 3:

Theme:

Unlike the flat plans above this one will not be split into sections but instead be all in one; I feel this will make it look more presetable and professional. It will include a fave which dominates most the pace however some of the face will be cut off to make it look more abstract and creative. It will be aimed at Lady Gaga's target audience and will incoroporate similar themes to that of my Digipak.

Imagery:

This flat plan will use a close up shot of the face so that the makeup is defined and facial feature; it will also make it easier to portray a sad emotion which is what this advert is aiming to do to fit the theme of "lost love".

I have chosen close up shot because I feel that they look better on advertisments as it will make the face recognisable from a distance.

I will also include the image of my digipak to the right of the advert; this will link the two products.

Colour:

I have chosen a black background colour to make the imagery and the text stand out, the image will be bright and I will edit it to mkae it brighter in photoshop; this will make it stand out amongst the text.

The text will be white to stand out on the black background.

Text:

I will use the same font as the digipak as this will help link the two products, I will use selling words like "exclusive" as this will grab the audiences eye. I will also include the title of my video so that it is being advertised.

Overall I have chosen Advert 2 as I like the layout and feel that it is more suited to other adverts then the other two; I asked people during college which they prefered severla said number 1 but the overall majority voted for advert 2 saying the way it was split in three made it stand out and look different to other adverts.

Completed Advert:

Evaluation:

Again I have uploaded the finished product to FaceBook for feedback I have doen this because the comments I get are much more varied then when asking people face to face as they feel more pressured to compliment it with me stood infront of them.

Feedback:

The evaluation was mainly positive comments which is good, I am glad that one person mentioned the layout as I thought dividing it into three may have been a but to organised but it was obivously liked. Each comment thought the advert was linked to the digipak which is what I was hoping for. Overall the comments have made me very positive about my advert however as some mention I could improve the advert by maybe making it slighlty different from my digipak as at the minute they do look an awful lot similar which could get boring.

Blog 15- Digipack

A promo pack is a range of items used to promote a record such as an advert, a music video, a poster, a DVD cover. For this task I will be making a Digipak; this will include a CD with the album tracks including our song "Brown eyes" and will also include the video we have make for that song.

Before designing my own Digipak I have analysed two others from the same genre of music; i feel this will help me gain a better understanding of how best to design one and also give me some inspiration.

Analysis 1: Madonna "Music"

Front Cover:

This cover you can tell is from the POP genre; this is because it includes bright colours which is typically associated with the genre. I think it is more aimed at females then males due to the use of colours e.g. baby pink is typically a feminine associated colour.

Imagery:

The cover has a close up of the artist, the face in half covered by a cowboy hat; it immediately gives of the "Wild West" vibe and the colours are bright and eye catching.

Text:

The text is not the clearest and I feel would not stand out on a shelf; the yellow background for the text box doesn't make the pink writing of the artists name stand out but instead blend in.

Colours:

The bright colours add the POP feel to the cover and would easily catch the audiences eye amongst other's of its kind in a shop.

Back:

The back is following the same theme as the front; it has hay with the hat in the left hand corner. This is a good idea as it keeps with the theme and doesn't look to different from the front that viewers don't follow it. The text is small and not really noticeable next to the hate; this in my opinion is not what I want my cover to be, I want my audiences attention to be drawn to the track listings as it is an important part of the Digipak.

Analysis 2:

Front:

The front is very much focused on the image on the centre of the page; it is off the band member and is a bright colour which grabs your eye. the background colour is dark which makes the image and text stand out more and is easy to read. It looks like it would appeal mainly to the female target audience as there is a lot of pink colours involved. I feel it also suites its genre of POP as it uses bright colours and the typical image of microphones in the hand also makes me automatically think of POP.

Back:

The back follows a similar theme to the front with the top having all five members outlines in different positions with a pink wave covering them; you also see spotlights which I think represents the fact that it's a tour DVD as these are very common on tours. The text it again white like the front on a black background making it easy to read. From my analysis of two flat plans I have recognised the main features; that the front and back usually follow a similar theme and colour scheme which I will take into account. Both of the above seem more aimed at the female target audience however because Lady Gaga has a wide audience I will try to make it appeal to all ages and genders but also make it abstract and more to her style.

Flat Plans:

When planning my own Digipak I drew three flat plans to express initial ideas, I tried to incorporate Lady Gaga's style with my own idea's so that it will suite her target audience.

Flat plan 1:

Front:

When designing this cover I took into consideration that it had to appeal to a target audience of all ages as Lady Gaga has a wide and diverse fan base in which i have mentioned in previous blogs.

Text:

I have chose to have a narrow text as I thought bold would take away the impact of imagery that i have planned to use. I want it to be large enough to read from a distance; as i have found out from research that the majority of Lady Gaga's Cover have large but simple text.

The above is the font and style of text I am planning to use for this design; the font is "Dotum" and I would use it in a size around 36 as this size is large enough to read from a distance but not so large that it takes over the entire cover.

Imagery:

For my images that I will be using I am only using one image; it will be a close up shot of the stars face. I have chosen to use one image because my research has shown that most covers consist of an image of the star and that is all. i have chosen to follow this because I feel that it will give the audience an image to be focused on rather then distracted by several smaller images. The image will be really Lady Gaga styled; long blond hair with brightly coloured face makeup to make the image more abstract and eye catching. Also behind the image will be a hand drawn version of thunder and lightening to match the title of the Digipak "Thunder and Lightening". I am aiming for the cover to have a cartoon feel to it; which is why I am dividing the page into lines.

Colour :

I have chosen for the cover to include a variety of colours; I have done this as i feel it will make it stand out on a shelve, it also will fit to Lady Gaga's unique and colourful style. As the Page is split into three the top triangle will be coloured purple, the main strip with image in will be white so that the images will stand out and the second triangle will be coloured orange. These colours have been chosen because they are bright colours and contrast well together.

Back:

My research has shown that most artists tend to follow the same theme for both the front and back of their digipaks; so I have tried to make sure my back cover follows the same style as the front. i have made sure i have split the page into three again to make sure it looks similar.

Text:

I will use the font "Dotrum" again so that the text looks similar to the front however the font will be dramatically smaller as more text has to fit on the page e.g. track listings, I will choose size 18. The text will still be navy coloured. When choosing the titles for my track listing I made sure I looked at Lady Gaga's previous covers; I noticed that her tracks were mainly short and snappy titles so again i tried to stick to this style for example: Red carpet, its two words and is easy to read.

Imagery:

Like the front I have chosen for it to be an image of Lady Gaga's face; I have done this to remind the audience of the artist and also to make it more easy to look at. The image will include half of her face at the side of the page so that it doesn't dominate the page but instead aids its visual appeal.

Colour:

I will follow the same colour pattern as the front cover, the three different sections of the page using the same colour as each on the front. I have chosen to do this as introducing new colours may make the cover look unorganised and not look as though a lot of thought and effort was put into the design.

Inside:

I aim to make sure the theme of the cover matches the inside so when planning the inside I have tried to include some aspects of the cover inside.

Text:

I have chosen to use the same text as the front on the area where the disk will be placed; I have chosen this as it will stand out and look dynamic. However I will change the texts colour to black as I feel it will stand out. The text on the left side of the inside will be a completely different font as it's a large body of text so it needs to be a font which is easy to read in bulk. I have chosen for the font to be Ariel as it is a clear font which makes it easy to read below is an image of the proposed text: Obviously it will vary in size e.g. the title "Tour Dates 2011" will be size 16 whilst the actual dates will probably be size 14. The introduction to the inside and the end will be size 18/20 as it will be a message from Lady gaga presenting the tour dates.

Imagery:

I have opted against including an image of Lady Gaga inside as I feel two on the cover is enough, otherwise I feel there will be many images it will take away from other factors included e.g. tour dates. the only image I have decided to include is a cloud with lightening coming from it; I have chosen this because the title of the album is "Thunder and Lightening" so I feel this links the inside to the cover. I will draw the image on photo shop as I feel it will add a cartoon edge to the cover which I am hoping the outside will look like.

Colour:

As I have chosen to use a variety of colours for the inside as the front includes several colours, I have chosen to use the colours as a border around the tour dates. I will have five narrow lines of different colours vertically and then two yellow lines along the bottom and top to create a colourful border. However i have chosen to leave the background on both sides white as I feel too much colour may be off putting to read and takeaway the impact of the colourful cover.

Flat plan 2:

Unlike flat plan 1 I decided to draw a simpler and more focused cover; I chose this so when choosing upon a final design I will have a variety to choose from and my choices will not be limited.

Front:

Text:

I would like the text to be bold so that it stands out, I have also decided to try positioning the text differently on this plan; i will have the "Lady Gaga" arched over the picture at the top of the page so this immediately grabs the audiences eye. I then will position the name of the digipack vertically down the right hand side of the cover. The font that I will be using is:

The image above is a sample of the proposed font I wish to use for the cover of this digipak, the font is Castellar and feel that the artists name will be written in black so that it stands out and will be the largest of the text on the page around size 48. The title of the digipak will be size 36 so that it is readable by not so large that it over powers the artists name; i have chosen for it to be a lilac colour so that the cover isn't full of to much bold black text.

Imagery:

I will again choose to use one main image for the cover and this will be of Lady Gaga because obviously I want the audience to be able to distinguish that it is her album amongst other covers on a shelve. i will use an image of the person staring face on at the camera and shoot a medium close up shot so that some of their body is visible. I want the image to have one hand covering an eye to make the look more dynamic and abstract. For costume and make up I have chosen for the hair to be styled straight and bleach blond, I also require the eye makeup to be bright green and bold so that the eye is fully defined. I have chosen the artist to be wearing a neon pink coloured top.

Colour:

I have chosen bright bold colours to make the image stand out, I have chosen to use a white background so that the audience are solely focused on the artist and the title. the text as mentioned above will be two different colours:

• 
  
  Black for the "Lady Gaga




• 
  
  Lilac for "In the Distance.

I have chosen this because I feel these colours match and look dynamic together and will not make the cover look to cramped and unorganised.

Back:

Colour:

Like the front cover I wish for the background to be completely white, however I will place the track listings in a text box and colour the background orange so that it stands out. I will also highlight the exclusive box pink so that viewers are drawn to that( this is because it will be the part which advertises my music video).

Text:

I will be using the same font as the front for the text only it will be dramatically smaller in size and the colouring will be all black. I have chosen to the text to all be aligned to the left of the page so that it looks neat and well organised. Again i have chosen track titles to be short and snappy so that they fit in with the Lady Gaga trend; I feel this will allow fans to relate to as that is an aspect which draws them to like her; the short snappy titles of her songs which have contagious choruses.

Imagery:

I have chosen to use an image of a record player it will be a high angle shot so that it looks like you are looking down onto the record player. I feel this is something will Lady Gaga fans would appreciate as it is known for her passion for music, it will also add a retro vibe to the cover which is suited to my song of brown eyes.

Inside:

I have chosen to keep the inside basic as well as I feel it will fit in with the cover; unlike if the outside is rather basic and then the insuide being full of colour and packed with information as it will make it look different and as though it doesn't belong together.

Colour:

I have chosen to keep to the white background for the side with the CD disk as i feel it will make it stand out, The circle will be split into three the two sides on the left and right will be coloured light blue. I have chosen to include a light shade of colour so that it doesn;t appear to bland; this is because Lady Gaga fans will be expecting colour as she uses bright colours often in videos and in her appearence. For the left side I have chosen a pale orange background as this colour is on the back cover of my digipak and I feel it will link the two.

Imagery:

On the right hand side of the inside i plan to have a road run through half the page; I feel this fits in with the title of the digipak "In the distance" this is because a long road would be associated with a distance so I felt putting it through half the CD area would make it feel abstract and look dynamic and also suited to Lady Gaga. On the left side I have chosen for a collage of images to be placed over eachother; these will include long and short shots of Lady Gaga in different locations so that fans have something to look at; I feel thios would be an appropriate selection of images as its something audiences appreciate to see how their style is adapted in different locations etc.

Text:

There will be only a small amount of text on the inside; i have chosen to make it more visual with the photos rather then in depth text. I will have the title of the cover written in the disk holder so that it links the cover with the inside. I will also place a heading on the left hand side called "Behind the scenes.." this is to give the images a title so the audience feel like they are getting see a piece of Lady Gaga outside of her videos. The text will be approximatly size 20 and bold coloured white.

Flat plan 3:

For this design I have stuck with the theme of the video and brought it forward to my Digipak; i have doen this because I feel ti will set a theme that an audience will like and relate to.

Front:

Imagery:

I have chosen to use one image however It will look like two as i plan to split it in half. The image will be of a face one half stlyed very 60's look and the other a modern day Lady Gaga, its to represent the style of my music video how theres the past and present in everyones life. The image will be shot as a close up to convey the emotions on the face and also to highlight the bold makeup.

Colours:

As the image will take up the whole page, there won't be a background colour but I am going to match the colours of the text to the photos e.g. makeup and the black and white. The pink around th eye will be used for the font on one half whilst the black and white will be used for the font on the other half of the page. I feel this is suitable for a Lady Gaga cover and her audience as it portrays her artistic and abstract fasion with the bright make up and two halfs of a face.

Text:

The font on the cover will be large so that it is easy to read; I want to be well spaced out and not take over the cover but look large enough from a distance. The font will be the same for both the title and the artists name as keeping it throughout will make it consistant and look organised.

Back:

Imagery:

I have chosen to have an image of legs on the back of the cover I will colour them black and as the legs go to the feet I will have them fade to white to add an abstract effect to the cover. The shot will orignanally be a mid shot of the legs and I will later edit it on photoshop to create the colour scheme I have in mind.

Text:

The font will be the same as the front cover; I have chosen this because most covers fiollow the same treands and themes through out so keeping the font the same is one of these. However the size iof the text will not be as large as it doesn't need to stand out as much as the front cover. I will have the text allinged to the left side of the page to make it look neat and organised. The right hand conor will include the bonus which will be "Exclusive Brown Eyes Video" I am using the word Exclusive because on most covers you see words trying to sell the prodcut to its audience which I feel this text will.

Colour:

I have chosen to keep the same colour scheme as the front, I will use pink and black for the text alternating the colours for each track, I will also keep the background white so the text and imagery stands out. I feel these colours relate well to the genre of music that Lady Gaga fits it; POP usually includes bright colours but I have also kept it true to Lady Gaga by adding the abstract twist with the feet that fade.

Inside:

Imagery:

To keep the theme the same I am going to use the same image ont he front cover except fit it in a circle for where the CD would fit. I feel this links the inside and the cover well. I alsot think this is something Lady Gaga would do as she is very creative and the circle makes the image look abstract and different. It also follows its genre as most POP inside has writing or images in the CD holder.

For the left side I have chosen against having an image as I feel that would make it too like the cover and draw the attention away from the message on the inside, it may also have looked to chaotic with another large image.

Text:

The font for the inside will be a handwriting styled one to make it look personal so her audience feel likehe's connecting with them. On the right side I will ahve "Lady gaga presents..." aligned to the left and below the CD holder I will have "Past & Present" aligned to the right; i feel this will make the layout look organised which is what will mae it look more professional.

For the left side I have chosen to have a "thank you" message as from research Lady gaga seems to be all about her fans and constantly thanking them. The font looking like handwriting will make it feel more personal and really look like she wrote it inside herself this adds to the creativity of the project.

Colour:

The background colour will be black to make the text stand out and also the CD holder. The majority of Lady Gaga's cases include black bacgrounds inside. I will have the text coloured white to stand out on the background.

The spine will be a white line and the bottom of the page will include three white stripes which make the onside look abstract and also make it more eye ctahing and nice to look at.

The decision I have made for my final design is flat plan 3 however I have taken a piece of the inside of flat plan 2 and used that instead of a message to the fans. I have doen this because when I was discussing it with people they mentioned how they prefer seeing images of their artists rather then reading thank you messages as they are "predicatble"

Completed Digipak:

The Below is my final version of my digipak, I completed it using photoshop to edit and create the product.

Evaluation:

As part of my evaluation I have decided to create a FaceBook page and some questionnaires in order to gain some primary information from people I know who would fit into the target audience of my artist. I have done this because otherwise my evaluation will be very biased as i have created it and also it will provide me with a selection of feedback so that I can make comparisions and draw conclusions.

FaceBook feedback:

I uploaded the images and asked people I knew to send me their opinions below are print screens of their comments:

Comments for the cover:

This comment is for the cover, the person mentions how I could have arranged the text down the bind to fit each character in each line rather then just being written over the top. I agree with this comment as it may have made the cover look more professionally. The person also commented on how this cover is relatable to other Lady Gaga covers which was one of my aims from the start, this shows me that audiences would be able to recognise it as a piece of her work. They also commented on my choice of colour for the text on the cover how the "+" coloured white is very faint; looking back at the cover I realise I should have chosen a bolder colour as it really doesn't stand out as much as it should.

This comment mentions how the colour scheme used contrast with eachother and that the photos are good; I am glad that this person feels the colours go well as when choosing the colours I put a lot of thought into what colours would match well together. The comment also mentions about the feet how I could have had an image of someone wearinf really funky shoes, which i feel i could have done as it would have maybe appealed more to Lady Gaga's fans.

I am happy that this comment mentions that the cover is bizare as that was the look I was hoping for as I feel it fits Lady Gaga's style. They agree that it is eye catching which is good and I am happy that they agree that the text is readble. As many comments have mentioned the legs that I could have made the shoes a really whacky pattern to stick more to Lady Gaga's style

Comments for the inside:

This comment mentions both positive and negative feedback it mentions how the CD with the face on it fits in with the theme of the digipak which was my aim from the start as it is important for them to folow a theme throuhgout as most others follow a theme. From this comment I could have improved the inside by maybe not having the heading "behnind the scenes" as from this comment the person clearly didn't see its purpose.

This comment mentions how its suited to Lady Gaga's style and that the scattered photo's really fit in well which I am glad as I wasn't really sure how well the photo's would go. However this comment mentions how I could have made the colour of the images different as both the colours clash.

Overall from the feedback i have recieved I could maybe have improved my digipak by making the image on the back cover have funky coloured shoe's and maybe have replaced the "+" with "&" to make it look more professional.

I personally feel that my final products meet the style of Lady Gaga and the genre her music is placed in. However I could have improved it by using the idea of whacky shoes on the end of the black legs to make it bright and funky.
