Target Audience: Response to Digipak

After posting my draft digipak front and back, I received some feedback. 

 

These comments are really nice and are encouraging as they show that my ideas are interesting to others and make people ask questions. 

Drafting and Planning: Magazine Ad Plan

Here is the plan of my magazine ad. I plan to use blocks to separate the text from the album cover so that there is a distinct attraction to the album and it is clear who it is by. On my ad, I plan to only use the image of the cover rather than having it with the text on, so that it's not repetitive and looks silly. I plan to use black and blue as the main colour scheme so that it is coherent with the album cover too. 

Research Into Similar Products: Magazine Ads

As well as looking at CD ads, I have also looked at adverts for products such as drinks. This advertisement for Dr Pepper Cherry has a layout which I quite like. The text is featured above and below the product with the name of it in bold. This draws immediately draws attention to what the product is. The coupon is also a nice idea, however this feature is irrelevant to my own poster as CD adverts do not use them. It also uses a distinct colour scheme that matches the product itself which keeps it coherent. 

I have also looked at a cornflakes ad. The way in which this has been laid out is also intriguing. All of the text has been placed beneath the image in a white box. I like this as the image is a thing in itself, making it the first thing you see and the most important thing. It also creates space specifically the product information which can be used on my own poster. 

Target Audience: Response to Music Video

After posting the first draft of my music video onto YouTube, I recieved some comments on what people thought of it.

This feedback is really encouraging as my video has been greatly recieved. It's very nice too as I was concerned about the reception of the use of the blue filter but everyone has liked it which is very reassuring.

Drafting and Planning: Front and Back of Digipak

Here is my draft of the front and back covers of my digipak. The photo on the left is the front cover and the photo on the right is the back. 

I am still yet to include the production details but I plan to include them underneath the track listing on the back cover.
