Digi Pack and Poster - First Draft.

 These are my first drafts of ancillary texts and I am so far proud of what I have created. After feedback from my teacher there are some bits that I need to add to it such as information commonly found on CD cases. My teacher seemed happy with the images I had used and I am pleased with this and I liked them too and thought that they suited both the genre well whilst also linking in significantly with things found within the music video such as the masks and the guitar. I also was able to capture these shots within the nature the same as the video; although nature was not something I aimed to focus on throughout my music video, due to the location it became important to keep that element throughout all pieces of work I created.

My main inspiration was a previous cover/advertisement I found for the band and I felt as if this sort of artwork represented the band well and I therefore decided to create something similar for them this time.

I think that I have done this well but without copying the album cover exactly, however, there are elements such as colouring which I felt were necessary to keep the same as they fitted well with the genre of music.

Feedback I received for my digi pack mainly focused on the back cover - for example I am now changing the colour to all blue and still need to include writing commonly found stating the writing of the songs and the creature of the digi pack etc..

I was also given feedback on the spine of the digi pack as I need to think what will be shown when  the digi pack is closed. I have decided to go for another colour as well as have some writing on           the main spine to identify the band when the album is too the side.

As for my poster my teacher had no issues with it and agreed that it fitted the genre well whilst also linking in with the digi pack to create synergy between the two.

I decided that I would use the album cover to promote my album as I believe that this would make it automatically recognisable to the audience. I also found that many bands do this in promotion for their album for the same reason and therefore felt as if it would be worth doing.

There is nothing that I really want to change, however, I might have to ask my teacher again in case there is anything he can think of changing when seeing it for a second time.

I am currently happy with my progress on the ancillary texts and I don't have any real doubts or concerns about completing this section of my work before the 13/03/2012.
