Creating a twitter feed for my website

Having researched how to do this, I found answers in the Wix help forums and embedded this feature into my website.

This emphasis on across the board branding will surely be useful in maintaining and growing a fanbase through increased connectivity with my primary and secondary audiences through direct contact and second hand contact through 're-tweets' and 'likes' across the network.

Digipak design- #1



Top left: Inner left. Top right: Inner right
Bottom left: Back cover. Bottom right: Front cover.

I will be gathering audience feedback to see what can be improved on and changed in due course.

My decision to use the blue tinted imagery was due to the influence of Rob Sheridan and his various works with Nine Inch Nails.Acompanying this overall colour was the NIN logo which is seen over most Nine Inch Nails releases. In addition to this I have placed all institutional information on the rear panel including the record labels, distributors and parent companies. Beside this I have placed a bar code for retail sales. For the track listing I have used the custom 'fragile' font as seen on 'The Fragile' album in 1999.

Behind the scenes #2 (Directing cast members)

This is the second part of my behind the scenes footage involving me directing the band members in addition to some of the final clips.

Reflection:

In this behind the scenes footage, I was able to delegate the three man band in the direction I wished through direct communication with each respective band member. Before filming I would always confirm to see if everyone was ready, and then count them in to the recording. This video was a prime example of my direction influencing the notion of simulacrum. In addition to this I communicated the handheld shot to Kristian who had some queries about the exact situation and I was able to clarify this. I learned here that in cold conditions it was important to delegate instructions as quickly and concisely as possible in order to achieve maximum efficiency and results.

Behind the scenes #1 (Directing cast members)


This video shows some direction coupled with a few of the final shots from the video. Due to excessive wind in the video, I have created subtitles! So be sure to click the subtitle button so that the clips are audible.
