Poster idea change

We have now decided that we could use the poster for the advert as well but adding more detail in with the advert. The style that we have now decided would fit in better with the whole crime genre we have gone for would probably be a wanted poster. So we have started designing the poster around the idea of a wanted poster as well as keeping the abbey road idea in play so we have had to make a compromise between them and create a poster that has a shared idea.
Here is a wanted poster and how we might want our music video poster to look. 

Finished front cover

Now that we have finished the front cover we can now work on the inside of the Digipak cover and use the ideas that we have come up with so far. For the left hand side we were also thinking about having an old style newspaper describing what has happened in the music video and showing the report of the incident as the main character as the eye witness and having quotes like "Iv'e never seen so much crime in one day" or " I just cant trust society anymore". Below is an example of the style of newspaper we are thinking of going for.

Vinyl record idea

We have decided to put a vinyl record player on the right inside part of the Digipak cover over the part were the disc is meant to go. We have decided to add this old type of music device to the Digipak cover in reference to the fact that during the time when vinyl records were at its peak the mafia and organized crime was at its prime with the likes of Al Capone in the media. The time from Al Capone through the pop art culture to Bridget Riley was a good place to start when designing the record as we could incorporate her work into the making of the record. 

This is one of Bridget Rileys pictures that she created around the 60s era that we could use as part of a design for our record label as well as the checkered design below. 

Finshed additional fan insert

We have finished the playing cards and we have decided to make them a limited editions item and only one card is being sold per Digi pak and in every Digi pak there is a different card so this will enable audience trading them with their friends and family and possibly brining value to the cards for the audience. We would also purposely make one specific card rare and other cards special for instance with a gold trim or make them shine. The problem that we may have if we were to make and distribute these items may be the cost as mking sure different cards are in different Digi pak boxes may increase the cost of packaging and distribution.

Here are the five cards so far.






We have also made a design for the back of the cards to make them feel that they would have a better feel to them and also would make them feel authentic.
