This is my finished album release poster. I incorporated the hexagon shape from my DigiPak and used the same images to bring them together.

This is my finished DigiPak. It is hexagonal and folds around the disc. The disc would sit in the white hexagon where the track listing is.

I am currently in the process of making my digipak. The above pictures are some different ideas for the back, I was deciding which way to lay out my font.

Update

Filming has wrapped for my final film. It was a lot of fun and a very productive couple of days. I have also edited it on iMovie as a rough cut but it will be edited this week using Final Cut Pro.

This is the time planning for filming this week. It is a rough guide, and there will be a food break when we collectively feel it is time to eat.

Update

I have now worked out with my actors the days in which we can film. They are the 13th and 14th of April in the Easter Holiday. I hope that we can film everything within these days and not have to reshoot anything.

Update

During the last week of lessons leading up to the Easter holiday, I have been working on my digipak. I decided to fold a circular piece of paper around a disc to form a hexagon.
