Analysing Previous Student Work
Here is a student ancillary work from the previous years. I looked at this as an example to mainly focus on the conventions of Digipaks and Adverts, and how previous examples have conformed or gone away from it. First of all, there are no clear challenges to what we would usually see. The text is placed in a good position, away from her face and in big font. This means that at a quick glance, we can pick up important information and recognise the artist. The close up image, is something I may wish to put into my own Digipak. This means we'd have to take close pictures, to the right size so no image quality is lost through cropping or enlarging. From research I've found that close ups of face are popular with most different types of albums, making the face of the artist instantly recognizable and famous in effect. There is also a continuity of images from the Front Cover to the Advert. This links both products together, making the fans spot the album quicker in stores. The image is also very well shot, and clear. The location of the image also seems to fit in throughout the whole digipak and links all products together. It is quite clear that they all are of one ancillary project. The font however does contrast a little with the background on the advert. Personally i feel the text of Mia Knight and Out Now blends in too much with the green background which could cause some visibility issues for the audience. The position of the text on both products is placed in a suitable place and there is the inclusion of important information such as her website address, and where to purchase the album. I can also see the copyright information and production label at the bottom of the back cover, however, the barcode is unconventionally placed in the top left hand corner.
