Final Music Video

Magazine Advertisment

This is my final ancillary text which is a magazine advertisement. This took roughly 2 hours to complete on photoshop using images that i had photographed previously of a graffiti wall. I have tried to go slightly against the conventions of an advert where the artist name is at the top and the rest of the information at the bottom. Instead i have chosen to center all of the text to help emphasize them. The graphic imagery helps also to individualise the text from the colours which attracts the viewers attention.

Updated CD Design

I have recently updated my CD Digipack. Well, completely redone it. I decided to do this because of the simple fact of mis-representation of my music genre. The theme that i had going flowed throughout my CD Digipack as well as my magazine advert so i have redone both of them. The genre i was representing was Electronic/Pop when the genre i SHOULD have been representing was more of a Street/Street culture genre. I have redesigned the CD cover to to represent a NY city / Street environment by including graffiti and arrows ( commonly use by graffiti artists ).

Audience Feedback

Mid-way through my project i decided to create some audience feedback so that i could get a clear understanding of how my CD digipack and magazine advertisement was coming along. Results show that 80% of the students aged 16-19 that were asked the questions, thought that my CD cover and Advertisement was not based around the typical conventions of the genre of the music i had chosen. I have decided to completely re-do all of my ancillary texts with the particular theme in mind.

Magazine Advertisment

This is my progress for my Magazine advertisement. I have tried to used interesting graphics and text colours to attract the readers attention. The theme is 'Morse code' which is referring to the album name 'Morse Code'. I have used it by combining 10-12 tribal images from google, to create my own version. This is a feature of Post Modernism.
