Evaluation Question 2

Script for Question 2

Both my main product and ancillary texts are very effective as both use similar features, this was done to allow the audience to instantly recognise the bands CD cover and poster. Before designing my Magazine poster i got someone to take pictures of the band performing at a recent concert to give the poster a more genuine look from a pop/rock band. once this was done, i uploaded the pictures to photoshop and used the same effects as the CD Cover using Greyscale and Threshold to create a pop arty effect as seen on green days 21st century breakdown cd cover. The band seen in the pictures are wearing natural modern clothing to relate to the target audience, the clothing in the poster/cover is very similar to the video as the lead singer is again wearing a checked shirt, the bassist is wearing white and the drummer is wearing a brown jumper as seen in the video. In terms of advertisement, on the poster we can see the band logo which is seen multiple times in the music video. also on the poster we can see the price of the album and where the album is available. I used iTunes as my main company to sell the album as apple is know not only for its devices but its also big on music, iTunes is one of biggest online music websites in the world coinciding with Amazon Music and Spotify. The Text on the poster is a bold and gritty text which contrasts well with the colours on the poster which allows the audience/reader to engage well with the details on the poster. I found the font on a website called Da.Font which is an online database full of tons of fonts for software such as photoshop and premiere pro. After conducting some research into Pop and Rock albums, i found that most bands create an inner booklet to help promote the members in the band. with my research i created a booklet in photoshop, using the un-used pictures taken from the bands recent performance, as well i added quotes from some of the songs on the album to create reference to the top 5 songs on the album, When you turn through the pages, towards the end of the booklet the listener will come across a lyrics section where the lyrics of each song is presented in a neat and tidy order, Albums such as A Present for Everyone and Linkin Parks Hybrid Theory album have helped influence this decision.
