The Digipack Cover




We designed our cover as close to how Muse create theirs as we could. Muse use images that link in with the album or single to create there album covers. for ours we have taken a photo of a batch of the MK Ultra drug in the lab, this ties in nicely as it is what the song is about and what it is trying to stop. For the rest of the images we have told the story of the song with the inside being a photo of the riot in protest of the drug and finally the back cover how it ends with the business on the side of the protest.
We have kept the CD's as simple as we could and to how the band design theirs.The Music CD is just a plain reflective disk and the DVD the image of the inside cover however the colour is offset in a shade of orange to make it stand out slightly from the background of the digipak without looking to much out of place.


Above is the magazine article. We have also kept this in the same style as the band as most of their adverts reflect their singles front cover with key information like the single and its release date however muse often have tour dates on their poster as well However, we are not advertising a tour date or have information on tour dates to list on the poster.
The bands name is also large so it stands out to catch the viewers eye. Although this doesn’t look like much at first this is a true representation of how Muse advertise. This minimalistic approach shows a representation of Muse own adverts as there poster are kept on the bare minimum.

Group meeting

Meeting 7th December November: Members present Alex Williams (AW), Elliot Smith (ES), and Natasha Green (NG):
In today’s group meeting we were very eager to discuss on what was needed to be done in the final editing stage of out film. We knew our deadline for filming and editing was on the 14th December so a lot needed to be. Firstly we discussed the remaining footage that needed to be done. The footage that was to be done was final shots of band which is going to take place at Elliot’s house in his garden. The second piece of footage that needed to be filmed was footage of a small child (Rachel Smith) and the business man (Sam Taylor), which was going to take place down a country lane. We decided to do all this final footage on Friday 10th as we all could meet this date. We then discussed that we needed to add final touches on to the editing.

Group meeting

Meeting 30th November: Members present Alex Williams (AW), Elliot Smith (ES), and Natasha Green (NG):
(ES) brought to attention that the film was missing part of the drug testing, so we discussed that we needed to film this seen ASAP. We arranged to film the drug testing scene on Friday the 3rd of the December since we all could attend this date. For the drug testing footage we suggested that we needed x3 extras (Stephanie Stevens, Ben Sutton and Glenn Dourish) to play as scientists. Again, we noticed that we needed to correctly fit the footage with the Song. This was to be done after this meeting.
