ANCILLARY WORK - Final Advert

ANCILLARY - Final Digipak

ANCILLARY - Feedback

Front Cover/Back Cover

    Change image from a close up to a mid shot as you can't sense any synergy between the close up and the rest of the album, advert and MV.
    Add in the 10 digit number into the front cover
    Make the size of all your track titles the same and do the same with the advert when needed


Advertisement

   Keep the 4 stars reviews
 Instead of having 4/5 stars, have 4 stars so that it looks more attractable
 re-arrange information depending on how you think the audience will read it and importance of the information

ACILLARY WORK - Mock Up

ANCILLARY - Advert Mock Up

I took inspiration from a Emile Sande advert I saw where she was unconventional and had the text around the center image rather than abiding by the rule of thirds and having the image on the left or right hand side 

ANCILLARY - Costume

For my digipak and advert, I decided to take inspiration from mainly this costume that we used.

We advanced it by merging it with the other smart attire costume and ended up with the theme of white, black, grey and dark blue

ANCILLARY - Production Pitch

Describe the theme/style of your ancillary products in 5 words:

Simple
Clean
Attractive
Eye Catching
Smart

Outline how many panels your digipak will have:

I will have  4 panels, 2 outer and 2 interior

State where your magazine advertisements will be placed:

NME and Q Magazine

Where did you get your ideas from :

For my advert, I mainly got the idea to lay it out like that from here own advert where she had the image in the middle of the advert, rather than complying to the rule of thirds.
With my digipak, I took inspiration from male artists since from my research I saw that they used really simple designs for their products and it was eye catching because it was so simple that everything stood out so I want to incorporate that feel into my work

ANCILLARY - Font Research

Nazim and I were looking for the second font to use for the digipak since our initial font was too old to use throughout

ANCILLARY -

From all the CD albums I saw in HMV, these two were the ones that inspired me the most because of the use of a solid plain background and clean simplistic styling.

Hey You Beautiful - Leon Cross (Final Product)

Screen on the Green!

Today we went to 'The Scrren on the Green' to view everyone's final products.
To help with Evaluation Question 4, I filmed the audiences reaction to the MV so it could be compared to how we thought the reaction would be like and the reality of it.
We were pleased to find that the reaction was what we expected and there seemed to be no negative views on it

(Link video)

After the viewing of the music videos, I went around asking female consumers on their view on our music video since they were our target audience and then went on to ask male audiences since they were part of our target audience to see if we succeeded in appealing to them.

ANCILLARY WORK - Test Shots

Since Nazim didn't bring his costume, we decided to do some test shots of possible ideas for poses the artist would do.

ANCILLARY WORK - Layout Ideas

Being influenced by the original artist, I decided to also use a plain background for my two products, it makes it easier to edit with and it ensures that the digipak is less clustered giving it a sharp clean look.

I was also influenced with by the artists Emile Sande. Rather than doing the adverts as a rule of thirds piece, I will take influence from her ad and split the template in two and have the tracklist around Leon Cross rather than on just one side.
