Evaluation-Question Two

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

As part of the course you are required to make a digipack and poster, i knew straight away i wanted it to contain the same amount of fun that the video has, although the Pub was disappointment, we took some amazing pictures that really capture the band being them self and having a laugh, and will work very well in creating a sense of fun within the CD cover and poster. I decided to use the same picture for the poster and Cd cover and also the same font through out both as it makes them relate better with each other. I decided to make the font look young and a liike childish but still cool, so i chose light eye catching colours  for both CD and Poster, so if they were to be sold in a shop or on a bill bored somewhere you would notice it, and a font that looks like a teenagers boy hand writing, as there boys who are laid back and from a school, i feel this worked well with the band image. The poster is a lot larger then the CD but i still wanted to use the same image as the front cover so i did, i also made it black and white and edited the back ground so its just white on photo shop. Using photo shop was difficult at first but once i got the hang of it, i really enjoyed using it.  

On the back of the CD cover i thought it would be a good idea to have the Twitter and Facebook logos at the bottom to show that the audience can follow and be friends with the band making there more interactive and that much closer to there fans and finally I displayed our record label, Rough Trade and the bar code because this is what real CD covers consist of.

so by having advertisement and giving the band Twitter and Facebook accounts it will be easier to promote the band, and as the video is like a home movie i believe the audience will be able to engage in the band with great ease.
