Advert final

This is my groups final Advert design, based on the front cover of the digipack, as shown in my designs previosly.This was to follow conventions as The Killers do this with all of their digipacks and adverts. We did however choose a different image to make the advert with to make it look slightly different but you can still easily tell that they are linked. The Killers logo is on it aswell as the record label and when the album actually comes out, all common conventions. We used more layers in the top left hand corner to make it more dark giving a more sinister and dark feeling to the advert.

Digipack final

Front and back cover

This is my groups final digipack cover and it was made on Serif photo plus. Just like in the drafts of the front cover shown previously on my blog, we got the main character to sit in the corner of a room looking very weak and susceptible. This is helped by the high angle shot used when we took the picture stressing that he is a very weak and susceptible character. We tried to make it look like there was a light over him such as a spotlight and that he is being watched on CCTV (The little numbers in the left hand corner of the front cover). We used the Killers logo and there record labels, as well as a bar code on the digipack to follow conventions and like it is an actual killers digipack. The Killers logo looks almost 3D against the bluey background, we did this by lowering the opacity to make it more bright and stand out more and look ghostly, linking to the murder and Jenny. The font used for "the trilogy" has been done in a font called "Times New Yorker" and was downloaded from www.dafont.com. We chose this font as it looked like it was from a type writer, linking to the whole investigation scene.


For the inside pages we chose to put a brick wall there linking to the main character being trapped and there is no escape as to what he has actually done. on the right hand side we put a picture of the main character but also some very faint font that blends in with him. This is supposed to be like a flashback in his memory and the text is the report written up of how he murdered his girlfriend, like it is haunting him. On the left hand side we put the track names and a description of each song, we used the "Times New Yorker" font again and used the same effacts as we did on "The Killers" logo on the front cover.
