Digipack - Record Label

We have researched a number of record labels, to get an idea as to which label our artist Jose Vanders would be signed to. To do this, we looked at a variety of female artists, more similar to our artist and her image, we found that most of these artists were not signed to commercial labels such as Sony, EMI and Warner Bros . Cherrytree Records has a number of female artists signed to them such as Ellie Goulding and La roux, we have decided to that our artist will be signed to this label too, as it is not very commercial, and has a number of female artists with similar images to our own but are still well established. The logo of the label will feature on the back cover of the album -

Digipack Planning

As a group we have done a vast amount of planning, and we have spent a lot of time deciding on what we would have for our front and back cover of our album. We had planned to have the theme of picnics and tea parties, relating to alice in wonderland and helping to create our artists image. We planned for the title of the album to be called 'stuck on dreams' again linking to alice in wonderland which is a story of dreams and fantasy. We learnt from making our music video that we had to become more organised and manage our time more efficiently, although we tried to do this, by creating a time table with all our available frees, and finding appropriate times to use the hall. We did not manage to shoot our digipack in time, and due to members of the group being absent on different days, there was not many opperunities to take our photos. Due to this we have been forced to re think our ideas, the deadline being very soon. We have gone back to our original plan of using photos we took on the day of filming as the front cover, and therefore the album will now be called 'faces going places', the song we used for our music video. The back cover will be piano keys linking to Jose Vanders and the importance the piano is to her as an artist, and we aim to create a booklet that will be inside the album, however our evaluation seems more important at this time and therefore we may have to abandon that ideas.
