Digi-Pack CD Draft
In my digipack idea I feel that if I include a lot of pictures then the audience would be attracted into buying it. The pictures that I have included are some of the group and also a picture of a location where we aim to film some of our music video and it is also a image of the area of where our group is from, London. Also I have decided to use a main colour theme of black and blue. The reason why I had used this colour theme is because I feel that these two colours work together and also they are bold colours that stand out. The fonts that I have been looking at to use in my digipack works well with my genre I think because it looks a bit classy as well as grimy and that is what our genre and what our types of songs are about. The fonts that we are looking to use is off of a website called dafont.com and the fonts are called slammertag.ttf, Tags Xtreme 2 Font. Also the layout of how we are having our track lists is set out so it takes up the back panel and you can clearly see the names of the songs.

Comparing other peoples blogs
- They have included a lot of images and I feel that in my blog I have included a lot of images and videos.
- They used different types of visuals for example they would use some pictures and then also some videos.
- In their music video's they were good as they included lots of different various shots and included lots of different destinations.
- They have used a lot of examples in their music videos.
- Some of the blogs that I have looked at they have included lots of videos but they have not included writing to go with it. In my blogs in every post I have included some visual with some writing.
- Some of the music videos are kinder boring and some shots are too long.
- They have used screen shots from different websites and advertisements such as myspace for the artist to show the artist image. This could help to improve my blog to get more screen shots.

Photoshop Editing
Editing these photos were really simple, it was just a matter of filtering the background and choosing different effect that I wanted to use on the background. The first image of 3 of us members of the group was a simple effect called 'Neon Glow' which obviously gives a more night time effect whilst the other effect of Nathan on his own just sharpens some of the lines that we see in the image was an effect called 'Texturizer'
