magazine ad

This is our final magazine advert. The audience really thought it was eye catching and fitted in well with the genre of music. 

digi pack

This is our final digipack which received quite a few positive comments and appealled to the audience. 

album cover draft

This is the first draft of our album cover that we had done as part of our digipack. To be honest, whilst creating this album cover i wasnt entirely sure about how this effect would turn out, but seeing the first draft of it really blew us away and we were really proud of ourselves of the fact that this actually looked really good and also was given praise by other students and media teaching staff. This first draft is more or less how we wanted the cover to look like, but with a bit ofediting it will be a good part of our project.

magazine pull out first draft

This is the first draft of the magazine pull out advertisement which i am pleased to say we were both quite happy with and so were the media helping staff and teachers. The whole concept of this advert had to be all about the artist and the album, and i think personally by creating a unique style which i havent seen before at A level, with the different styles of boxes and poses the model took, and also the boxes placed in the shape of a 1, it is really what we all wanted this to turn out like. Hopefully with a few tweaks and editing this should be finished easily.

album covers

This album cover can be seen as very dark and interesting and mysterious, as it is plain black and white, but also because of 'the roc' sign, which is surrounded by quite a lot of rumours and brings attention to that itself.
The audience of the artists new album would be strong followers of hip hop as jay-z is seen as the king of hip hop, and so would definately be a success.
Target audience would aim to be aspirers because of the chains and money and status, hence the word dynasty written all over the album. They would also be around sicio economic status C-E.

One thing we do want is for our album cover to attract attention, but not the wrong sort of attention, like this album cover does. We wouldnt want our album getting the wrong publicity and bad rumours, so we will have to think about this long and hard, to not make any indecent signs or signals that could spark a row or argument or could cause offence to anybody.

album covers

This album cover is quite interesting because it shows a kind of conflict, between light and dark, good and bad etc. because all around the artist is all wasteland and rubbish, whereas she is dressed in white overalls and can be seen to stand out from the background. Also, the album title, 'a little deeper' suggests a struggle or something along those lines, or something she is striving to want or needs. Target audience would be quite decently sized, would be targeted at the younger generation as it is a young artist with fresh new music, so 16-26 yr olds, probably socio economic class of about C-E. It is actually a quite good efecct and narrative that the artist has used for the album cover, and this is something we hope to achieve when creating ours.

album covers research : tinie tempah

This album cover is a personal favourite of mine and appeals to a large number of people, especially in particular age ranges, e.g. 16-25 both males and females, but could be seen as more masculine as tinie style of music is quite masculine. This drew a lot of attention at first glance because of the colour palette used, but also of the narrative behind the pictures. Tinie is almost seen as 'god like', with firm control and grasp of the city/country, and is quite happy with wht he has achieved and has acquired over the years. There is a lot of narrative in this album cover, but it works as he is a very fresh, hot young artist at the moment. His target audience ranges from males to females, young to middle aged people and also different ethnicities and religions as it is seen as more westernised so appeals to consumers.

The effects and lighting go almost hand in hand on this album cover, and this is what we think is going to either make or break our album cover for our artist and track.
