Above is the first of my final A2 Ancillary Texts, which is required for the coursework. This above is the 'magazine promotional poster' which advertises the song "Life" by Giggs. In this poster, I have stuck to a very simplistic style throughout it, and have also used the same font throughout. I have also edited the picture in Picassa, so in doing so it almost has a stylized cartoon effect to it. The orange jacket is more effective as it stands out, and also as a result of this I used the white font as I believe this colour would stand out in a magazine advert. I also sticked to the same font throughout the promotional poster as I believe this would make it clearer and more coherent for the audience, also when I tried changing the font in Picassa, it made the promotional poster look unprofessional which I did not like. I also thought the release date on the brim of the hat, was a neat touch that the audience could relate to.
Above is the "digi-pack design" for the CD cover this encompasses how the CD Package would be presented to a consumer buying the product. I have chosen to sell it in black and white, I did this as the song has a dark theme around it, and therefore I felt having a black and white colour scheme would be better, than having it in colour. This package contains a front cover, as well as the booklet you would find in a CD case. This Digi-pack also contains a message from the artist itself, this is a common occurence in most album packages for fans that have brought the CD legally. The white font stands out as a result of the black and white colour scheme, and I believe the colour scheme is really effective in reflecting the mood, of the song and this is the reason why I chose it.
