Adverts

The first Advert I am analysising is We are scientists , this band are very similar to the one that i am using in my digipack and advert so this is very relivant to what i will be creating, the simple picture of a man with his guitar gives the reader the image of what the music that they will be creating and what the album will be like , but the imge of the warewolf will also give the reader a certain twist on the normal mainstream music , so straight away you can see that this band is an alternative rock band. also with the colours used the red and orange this is quite an eye catching advert and with all the infomation written down the side of the picture the reader can understand all that they need to know. And with the review on the front as well the audience can see how good the album is , As it is a quote from a weel known rock magazine.

The second advert that i am analysing is Friendly Fires, this Is also in the same type of genre as my artist so again is relivant to the advert that i will be making. Straight away when you see this you notice the dark colour , this could tell me something about the style of music they play as it is a bit darker and mystic than the normal mainstream artists, also the slightly abstract photo on the front which is smashed can also be a catalst for me to belive that the music is slightly different to the mainstream pop. By having the tour dates on this advert as well it also lets the fans know when and where they are playing so they dont have to goto too much effort to understand more about the band, so can in a way make the fans more lazy as they dont need to find out about tours. Again the reviews from the main magazines and critics will again let the reader know how good the album is ( in other people opions) and how they feel about the album .

Completed Digipack

These the final peices i have created for my media Digipack i have decided to go for this rustic look as this is the main theme of the band and the music that they create, also the main picture of the band , i feel this is good as i think the pubic need to be able to understand and recognise the band apart. also the repetition of the album name is shown throughout the digipack i feel is appropriate as it needs to be pushed into peoples head so they do not forget the name of the band. The actual photos themselves reflect the band as they show pictures of the enviroment and nature and this is reflected by the names of there songs and the style of music they create , Through this task i have developed my skills within photoshop and this will come in handy when doing my advert and creating my Film, Also the editing the photos I feel i have gained knowledge and understanding of the programme and the editing of photos and the creation of a peice of work such as the one above.

Through Facebook I have had some feedback

Kris Flynn-Hutt - 20 -This is class, the colours blend well together and the song titles are very good too, edgy and ambiguous. It also looks very realistic with the inclusion of the record labels etc.

Ciara Snowball - 18 -I like it as it reminds me of Mumford and Sons and I like how the pictures have been edited to make them look almost x-ray but on the back maybe make the font of the song tracks a little whiter so its clearer :)
