Rough Ideas/Designs for Ancillary Texts - FIRST ATTEMPT

This is a rough draft for the anicllary text, I took this photo in the tunnel and liked the way the photo showed the misc-en-scene in the background. I edited the picture using Picassa, and changed it into Black and White, the purpose of changing it into B&W, was to make the picture darker, and represent the dark feel of the song. In addition to this the white writing is used on the grey colour of the picture to stand out, and I believe it suceeds in doing this. However upon asking people for their opinions on this promotional piece they believed that it was 'too dull', and they 'wouldnt really be that impressed' if they saw it in a magazine as there isn't much on the poster itself.

Above are two rough ideas, for my ancillary texts which are required of this project. The first one is a 'magazine advert', and I created it using Picassa by Google. I chose the dark colours, as the song has a dark theme to it, and I believe this is represented by the colour scheme used in the advert. The white, used in the font nicely compliments the rest of the design, however I believe from this to my final ancillary of the 'magazine advert', changes can be implemented to make it a better advert, and I will endaveour to do this in the coming weeks.

The second is the possible CD Cover, I did this as a basic template and was mainly testing how it would look and the capabilites of the programme. From this, I now know I will most likely have to use Adobe Photoshop, or another program as Picassa is no good at creating CD Cover templates, as shown by the result above. This has been a good learning curve as part of the project.
