Potential Digipak photo

This is a photo Will created as a potential photo for our groups digipak.

Website improvements - Shop page

I have made many changes to my shop page by adding a number of No Individual products. The products I have used are: a hoody, phone case, t-shirt, sweater, cap and satchel.

I feel this was a wide range of products and also unique.

Website improvements - Listen page

Here on my listen page for our website i responded to feedback of the page looks too empty by adding much more detail. I added our MTV interview onto the margin and put a sneak preview for our music video in the middle of the page.

The newspaper article has also been added onto the right margin which i feel gives the page a more professional look rather than looking rushed and unorganised.

First draft final feedback

Positives:

• Good variety in shots, especially stepping over the camera
• The bah shot is extremely high quality
• Good transition, very smooth, good cutting on beat
• Very good concept
• Steady shots
• Good framing of shots throughout the video
• Very good choice of locations

Negatives:

• Steve's drumming doesn't sync with the beat of the song
• Not sure about why there is a Peroni bottle in it
• Some lip syncing is out of place
• Colorization needed on some shots 
• Car shot is not needed
• Not many transitions used 
• Need to re-film the river performance as the quality isn't great

Webiste feedback

This is our feedback for our website from all the other groups.

Positives:

• Colours look good as they go with the digipack and the music video. 
• Love the moving background of the water
• Social media links are good as they stand out
• The Bio's on the band members are short but effective
• Bands image is portrayed well

Negatives:

• The home page is too boring as there is no background to it, not drawing any attention
• There should be an image with the information about each band member so you can identify who is who
• The moving background of the water should be on each page of the website
• There needs to be a merchandise page

Album cover ideas

Will was responsible for looking for different album cover ideas and he came across this video on YouTube.

Website update

I have made a few changes to our website such as adding the bands logo onto the home page and filling out the empty margins to make the site look more interesting and attractive to the audience. This was my reaction to feedback as many people said they felt the home page was too bland and boring.

logo design

Ben finally created a logo for our band, he used the bands general colours in this logo with the letters 'NI'.

Reaction to feedback

The feedback I chose to act on was the criticism of the background on the home page. Many people said they liked the background on the band page so i decided to apply this to the home page as well and add a countdown gadget to make the site look more professional.

I also added another band picture onto the margins to make the page look less empty and more interesting.

Digipak first draft

Steve was in charge of making our bands digipak. He began with his first draft:

The bottom left photo is not decided yet as you can see.

Need different transitions rather than straight cuts

Some shots at the beginning are of low quality
