The Magazine Advertisement

This is our final advertisement, we stuck with out colour scheme throughout and added "Song Music" as the producers of the band and "212 Records" is a record label we have made up that the boys are signed to. I took an image of a poloroid of the internet and places four in the top corners. I then used the stamp tool on photoshop to take the sepia tone of the poloroids' and dragged it down. I got the images of all 4 boys and blurred out the edges and placed on top of the poloroids. i changed the saturation of the poloroids to make them dirty looking. Finally, i added the name of the band and the information of the album.

Digipak Ideas

 I really like this album, i don't think it would work for the boyband album because it works with just one person. I really like the back cover and the way the track list curves around her hair. However, i don't like that she looks so edited, almost cartoon like. 

 I really like that this has the same theme of candy throughout, it's really playful and suggests to me that the theme for an album should consist throughout.

Again, i like the theme that consists throughout this digipak, i should definitely keep the same theme throughout my digipak. I also like that this is all black and white, however, with the conventions of pop this wouldn't work as they use bright colours like Katy Perry's album.

Potential Names for band and fonts

The font we liked the most was the second font. The others felt too plain or too rocky, they didn't have that boyband feel.

 We decided to go for the last design. Next stages would be to make a mock up of what it could look like.

Colour Scheme

We decided to go for the last colour scheme as we felt it was the most relevant to our boyband theme. The others had one or two colours that didn't really fit a boyband/pop theme. These colours will become the house style for the whole project.

Production Diary

We went up to London to film for a day. We planned to go to the London eye, Trafalgar Square and Southbank, we only came across one fault regarding this. When we got to Trafalgar Square half of it was cut off around the Lions as they had Chinese New Year celebrations previous to when we went. We worked with the space around us and you can still tell that we are in Trafalgar Square as you can see the National Portrait Museum.

Advert Ideas

Really like this advertisement, they have kept it simple with black, white and red, they have all the dates for her tour with all the information you need plus the company, MTV, who is representing her.

I really like this advertisement for Plan B because it has an old school feel to it, this portrays him to be really serious about his music but also shows the kind of music he will be singing.

I really like how this has a main image but then has the album cover at the bottom which advertises the actual album look. I also like how the text that is used for the album is also the same as the advertisement.

Student Digipak Evaluation

Evaluating work from 2012-2013

I like the theme throughout this digipak, reminds me of Autumn. I particularly like the CD, the leaf and the writing over the top works really well. From the text type and album cover i assume the music would have a Indie vibe to it. The back cover is really good, however, i feel that it is too overpowering of the tracklist. So it draws you away from the actual information. Although the images are really nice, you don't get a feel of a personal touch from the artist them self.

Student evaluation advertisement

Student work from 2012-2013

This is an album advertisement for a magazine from a student in 2012, they have kept it quite simple and haven't given anything away by not including their man musician on the front cover, this could be some what a down fall or means that the artist is well established. I like the simplicity of the advert, but it feels as though it was done by someone who does A Level rather then being something of a professional standard. In the background of the image one of the fences is really bent which draws my eye to it as the others are straight, this directly takes me away from what the advert should be about. However, the image of the sunset is really nice in itself, but not for a advertisement.
