Digipak Research

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.
Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" rather than a full plastic tray.
Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak)is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, so it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly. Licensed digipak manufacturers such as domestic U.S. printer and disc replicator Oasis Disc Manufacturing recommend coating the raw printed paper with a protective UV coating, thus ensuring greater longevity.
Here is an example of a digipak and it show the 4 main aspects of it. this one has used the same picture in most panels. the digipak is the first thing a consumer reads and has to make an impact on them so they remember it this one adds mystery and confusion to whats going on .

Filming last touching up scenes!

We need to re-film our fight scene due to continutues errors. so today we plan to touch up scenes and finish off our last bit of editing then onto the website we have researched for and started and then the digipak that we have also researched for and will be completed shortly.

Website Research and Development

Websites are often part of a multi-platform media. This can include examples of media institutions using different methods of communication to reach its target audienece but can aslo refer to the audiences use of different platforms to access related texts to increase their experience of a text or topic.

The codes and conventions in terms of layout and design.
  • The key consideration in effective web design is usability , therefore websites need to be clear, logical and easy to navigate
  • There are several conventional types of layout and design for websites and often they emulate some form of old media
  • A grid system is used to seperate sections of a website and to present information in small easy to access segments.
  • The centre of the page is often used for the main content with navigations tools on the left and/or across the top of the page and links tyo more detailed information on the right.
  • Background and font colour is often used to seperate different types of information images are used to illustrate as much as possible to add visual interest.

The technical codes used.
  • Certain technical codes are now common place on websites. Many sites provide moving image or audio content and also provide some form of audience activity or interaction . sometimes this is relate to the content of the site so film marketing sites often offer downloads such as music and images whereas news-based sites provide areas for audience member to comment on published news stories.

The codes and conventions in terms of content of website
  • Websites which contain factual information will look different to those created for entertainment. There are distinct conventions in terms of news websites, film promotion websites , websites focusing on health issues etc.

Some examples of artists websites.

As you can see the home page is of the concert dates this is the main visit for most consumers and we have also placed our strategicly !

In contrast to a rock/indie band i have looked at other artist i used beyonce.

This is more classy and effective and shows the hyperlinks first to let the audience go deeper into the website.
