Ancillary Texts

This is the Digipak which I have created, it is obvious that I have kept the style of the digipak very consistent to that of the music video, I did this to keep continuity between them and for the audience to make a clear connection. The pencil and paper theme can be applied to the artist because it is clear she is the age of a student therefore these relate to her. I decided to give the text a very unique feel and to take the form of hand writing so that it implies she has written it herself, this adds more of a personal effect. The reason for using the colour red for the text is because it links to love and passion which is what the artist is singing about, it also looks aesthetically pleasing as it complements the red on the pencil.

I then set this digipak out on a different format so that you could get a better view of how it may look when set out properly. I feel that overall the digipak looks quite professional as it contains all the things you would see on a real CD, including the bar-code, copyright and music label.

Creating a website is the second ancillary task which I chose to do. I have once again stayed continuous with that of my music video and digipak, this is so that the audience can make links between all media products and it helps create an identity for the singer. My website home page research helped me find the features which are conventional to the home pages, for example the main navigation system is normally always along the top of the page, therefore this is where I put my own, other features are also very common on home pages such as links to twitter and facebook where the fans can follow the artist. I included the music video on the home page as this is a way of bringing the artists new work to attention. It is important that an image of the artist is on the home page so that the audience can actually see who the website has been produced for.
