Evaluation Question 1 - Part 3

In this part of the question, I will explain how I have used, developed or challenged real media conventions by comparing my advert that I have created with other real existing adverts, which also advertise music from real artists. My magazine advert shares the similar concept as all existing adverts, I have used Adele's magazine advert to create a house style concept, I have also used the same conventions as my digipak because I want the digipak and advert to be the same and portray the same message.

Evaluation Question 1 - Part 2..!!

In this part of the question, I will explain how I have used, developed or challenged real media conventions by comparing my digipak that I have created with other real existing digipaks from real artists, my digipak consists of a grey dark theme and the background is dominated by the park, I wanted to use the similar convention as Rhianna's digipak 'Loud' she has a lot of red whereas I have used  lots of grey, because grey portrays maturity and success. Furthermore I have used the colour orange against the grey background as this shows brightness I deliberately chose the colours to be orange, grey, white and black. This is because the colours represent positivity.

Evaluation Question1 - Part 1..!!

Final Magazine Advert..!!

My magazine advert process..!!

I wanted to keep my Magazine advet very simple, I wanted to have the same concept as Rihanna's album Loud, because the album and advert itself were very alike. 
Here i added some links to the groups single as this is more realistic.
Here is the final magazine advert.

Final Digipak...!

This is my Final Digipak, this is the 6 panel pack for my album.
Front Cover-Final


Back Cover - Final

Some Changes..!

- This was my orginal idea for the 2nd panel of the digipak, however I wanted to change it as I had tried and tested different techniques, therefore I have created a new image on the right for the 2nd panel.



This is how I created the image.

Making of My digipak- back cover..!

I took an image of Fatiat, I wanted her to be in this position because I wanted to have a similar image that I had used in the test run, I want this to be my back cover as i want the music video to show some feelings therefore I wanted to use a sympathetic look as well as a optimistic look.

Here I used the eraser tool to erase the background as I did not need it.
Here I used my original backgrounf image I took of Myatts Field, I pasted the background image behind the 1st layer.
I then used the colour corrector tool and coloured Fatiat in as the same colour as the background as I wanted this image to blend in with the theme.

Here I then added the recording label and barcode to make my album look realistic.
Finally I added the text, I wanted the text colour to be white as it represents purity. And this is my final back cover -
This is my final front cover of the digipak..!
And this is my final back cover of the digipak..!

Research On Magazine Adverts..!

Magazines are used as a main source of advertisement in the media industry, magazines are usually distributed to target audiences and each magazine has a genre/category for example there are gardening, fashion, business, gossip and many more magazine types that interest different people in our society, therefore I believe my advertisement of the music video should be advertised in a magazine article that can be found in vogue, glamour or heat as they all directed to teen females therefore the article will attract our target audience.

Research On Digipaks..!

Digipaks typically consist of a 3-4 slide folds (book-style) which either holds a CD or DVD attached inside, however Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums recently record companies have introduced DVD sections which are now normally found in the 6 panel digipaks this extra addition has allowed audiences to not only listen to the artist but see their debut video or live performances on the DVD. However at first Digipaks were largely used by record companies to promote first time artists in the music industry as this allowed the artists to grow its audience globally, therefore digipaks are seen as an alternative to promote and advertise music.

Here are some examples of existing digipaks :
