planning photo shoot for social media and digipak

For our digipak and some of our social media, we decide to do a photoshoot with our whole band we booked the photography studio for an afternoon we then messaged the band to let them know we wanted them out of there costumes that they wore for the music video so they all the social media and digipak wasn’t the same.

campaign on social media

now that I have set up my social media Twitter account I have started posting a few photos of the band and images that go with the band genre and style I aim to post up to 60 different posts here are some of the posts that I have done so far I wish to include statements questions videos I also photos in all of my posts to keep it interesting and also shareable.

campaign social media

For the campaign I have been given the role to set up and run the band's Twitter account so today I set up the Twitter account we came up with the band name and I named the Twitter the sleeves official I gave them a bio saying “we are a indie rock band from England we have just released on new debut album we will know stream now across all platforms”.

here is me setting up the Twitter account:


First of all I had to put end my name my number and the date I was born:

But I had to put in the variation code I got sent through text:\

I then added a profile picture:

Then I made that username:

And then I did there bio:

feedback on digipak desigh

 

I showed my group and also my teacher what I had done in terms of my album artwork design I designed a front cover an inside left cover in inside right cover and also a back cover.

 

when being given feedback on the front cover they said that They liked the font that I had chosen for the bad name but for the song name they wanted it to be placed somewhere different on The front cover also as a band. on my there is only the guitarist and they suggested because it is a band that they should either have the lead singer or they should have the entire band on the front or something that symbolises the entire band. Because we haven't done a photo shoot yet I couldn't get a photo or The band together and I had to use a photo from the shoot which doesn't look like an album artwork. However they really liked the colour scheme and the lighting they said that it worked very well.

In terms of the inside left cover they said that they I really liked the design that I had done they said I eventually worked very well as I used a drum kit as the round part of the CD and because it's using instruments incorporated in the cover is a way to symbolise this. however it was a slightly different colour scheme to the front but they did say that it's not hugely important it just matters that the two inside covers are the same colour scheme and they can be slightly different to the two external covers.

when it came to my right inside cover they also really really liked the design however again it was another photo from the shoot so I would have to do something similar in a different location in a different outfit but they still really really liked it. they like how it was really over exposed and they said if I made everything else a little bit lighter it would really fit into the colour scheme and they would all go really well together.

they said that the back cover looked a lot more like a band than the front cover did and it could possibly work as a front cover. A downside is that I forgot to add the parental advisory and the barcode and also because we haven't really come up with all the names to the songs yet I couldn't add the names in however I still laid it out the same. They also suggested that if I expand the beam of light I could possibly add attract list into that beam of light to make it look more visually pleasing and also more central.

Overall I think that they all really liked it they said that the inside right inside left and the back cover all Went together and that the front was a little bit too dark which I definitely agree with in terms of looking forward into the future I would need to recreate all these photos in a studio instead of straight from the video but this is not a problem because we have a shoot planned for next week where I can change this.

research into social media (guns and roses)

For my research into similar bands artists social medias I have chosen the killers and also guns and roses the killers an indie rock band and guns and roses are more of a rock band they both have recent posts on their social media and they frequently interact with their audiences and come out with campaigns and tours and live shows so I thought they would be perfect to do my social Media Research on them they're also all boy bands lit is the same as our band.


Guns and roses have 2.4 million followers on Instagram and they have 2127 posts they have many different stories about that tour that 2022 told the 2021 tour they have the greatest hits they have a 2020 tour. You can tell by these posts that they keep that audience informed and also up to date as well as it's a place for their fanbase to look back on that recent and future tours.


here is a timeline leading up to their most recent live tour.
