FOURSIGHTS { CD/DVD Packaging }

First project and also the mid term project of this term is make a CD/DVD packaging. Firstly sir. Em told me to search about music i like, then brainstorming about the genre i want to make. I don't really like one strong music genre, but i don't want to be just 'POP' music, i want to have one special genre. When i did brainstorming, i played a music on my laptop and i love the music (FUN.), i looked at the genre, that is INDIE. I decided to make an indie band. First time sir.Em introduce this project i think we have to rebrand the band but after first QC, he told me to make a new band. We have to make a CD and DVD, a sleeve, a booklet, and a poster.

Then i made a moodboard. I have search some band, but i just took one or two part of each band. I took the genre from FUN. band. The style of artwork was inspired by The Temper Trap. The sleeve was inspired by  P!NK and Lenka album. I made mindmaps and moodboarda to help me do this project :)

I was inspired by Temper Trap the most because it has one photograph that they can apply everywhere (sleeve, poster, CD, DVD, booklet). I have some options, such as bubble, water splash, and bokeh. At the end i chose bokeh as my element. Bokeh is too sad and alone, i think glow in the dark jar can be the next element. I picked blue because it can show the lucid dream and peace feels. I also add pink color as the alternative colour because it can be a perfect match between blue and pink, they also look cool.

LOGO 

About the logo, i have some options : Foursights, foursides, pink octopus, moody octopus, another story, second meeting, unexpected. At the end i chose foursights because the story is about four people and every people has different point of view.

final digital logo with bokeh as background. i chose this font because the font i made before was too stiff and doesn't match with bokeh look and feel.

POSTER
Size of this poster is A3 (29,7 x 21 cm). Firstly i sketched big 5 in every sketch because it is the 5th anniversary of this band, but Mr. Em said 5th anniversaru doesn't have to put big 5 on the poster, it can be small symbol or sentence on the corner.

Finally i chose the last one and the simple one, but i put this glow in the dark jar with the lucid dream  as the album 's name. I put the font like that to make the font looks like go out from the jar.

CD and DVD

i changed the color of blue jar became pink jar to match it with the DVD background.

option 1 - DVD 

option 2 - DVD

SLEEVE :
Sleeve is the hardest part of this project, because i have to think about fold line between every sleeve. I changed the color of first blue bokeh by using previous lesson (solid color and color) in photoshop. I just changed the color to find the different feel and characteristic for 4 personels.

These are my little mockup for sleeve and CD. The size is 12,5 x 12,5 cm. and for the space between sleeve depends on which one is open first. There are 1 mm until 5 mm space. I made one by one per part of the sleeve to make me easier to put them, just rotate and finish.

BOOKLET :
Content of this booklet it backround of this band, personels' photos and biodata, and songs lyrics. The background of this band is :

"children playing and singing together everyday with happiness, even though they family financial conditions just sufficient. They were all born in the same year,1984.Adam Levine is the youngest of four siblings, he is very nosy, cheerful and sometimes lazy. Hayley was the second child of two sisters, she was a little boyish girl if compared with her ​​older sister who is very feminine. Nate Ruess is the third child of four siblings, sometimes serious but sometimes he could be joking. Johnny Depp is the first child of three brothers, being the eldest being made ​​he always serious in doing things.

One day typhoon hit and disrupt the town.  They have  2 choices, stay and build the house or move. Adam’s family moved to the North. Hayley family moved to the West. Nate’s family moved to the East. Johnny’s family just trying to build a house and stay in little Pasifician.In 2004 they each began to enter college in the big city. Each of them has dreams and try to get it by learn in their subject in the university. Without in the suspect after a few weeks, they met in a university event. They are in the same university! just different majors. After that event they often met each other, gather up, it just like ‘impromptu reunion’ for them. Since then they often reminisce and sing songs while they are in a small town.

Finally they thought what if making the band. Foursights came from four people who have 4 characters and come from 4 different cities. They hope one day they can build and develop Pasifician village as it once when they were little.For this fifth anniversary, they presented you a DVD that contains a video clip which undertaken in Pasifician Small. "

FEEDBACK :

- Too much colors inside the sleeve, maybe you should make it one colour, example pink for those four faces.

- The text on back cover, below barcode is too big and the leading too big, make it nice.

- The margin inside the booklet too small.

- Reprint the sleeve and booklet.

- Update blog.

- Input the price and printing place.

Reprinted Sleeve :

The booklet is not really different, but i have changed the margin and looks better. 

The sleeve , Blue outside and pink inside, looks better and i like this one :D
