How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary product texts?
After finishing our music video we had to design our own Digipak and Magazine Advert. Before we came up with the ideas and started planning we decided that we would get ideas from our inspirations, and famous music idols whom share the same genre as my group. BEYONCE and RIHANNA. Their magazine adverts are outstanding and beautiful as well as eye catching and persuasive. As we all look up to them, we are inspired by their gorgeous work. We wanted our Magazine Advert to look really lovely as we put a lot of effort into it i personally think it was 5 stars! We put Corinne Vielle's name in big and bold font alongside the release date so that our audience are aware of when the album is available.
Beyonce's magazine advert is very similar to mine when it comes to the background colour. Both images are black and white, we did not want o much going on, so we kept it plain black but still came out effective.
Rihanna has inspired and persuaded us to use red lipstick on our magazine advert because we wanted our magazine advert to stand out as well as being immediately eye catching. This creates the same innocent mood. The red lipstick is to represent love, lust and romance. All these themes are portrayed in our music video. The release dates on both magazine adverts are in bigger text than than the other text to indicate when to get the album. The lips were originally white so we made them red by using a special effect on Photoshop. We wanted the red lips to be bold, striking and bright.
We decided to use the image on our magazine advert on the front cover our Digipak to show a connection with the advertisement to persuade our audience to purchase our album. As a group we decided to stick to a specific colour scheme for our ancillary task and that was RED. By using red we wanted to show that the colour was being represented as love/romance. On the other hand the colour red is also known for danger or evil, so we wanted to make it clear that the reason why we used red was to symbolise intimacy, love and romance. On our digipak all the images are soft especially when it comes to the face expressions, lack of make up and the positioning of her body.
Finally, i personally feel that the combination of our main product and ancillary task were all made to a reasonable standard and they all met the requirements that they were supposed to meet. My main product and ancillary task also complimented each other especially when it come to be being effective. Reasons being that the main image on our magazine advert had a message to our audience and that was love, romance and bit of lust. All theses messages were shown on my digipak. When it cam to designing and creating both digipak and magazine advent, the use of colours were important. We wanted the colours to be soft by using by using a faded black and whit and then used the red on the lips so it would be bold and stand out. At first we just made the background a mixture of black and white and made the lips red but we did not get what we wanted and did not look attractive so we changed it, and from there it was just right. Black, white and red were the main colours we came up with and hose colour remained consistent in our ancillary task. We wanted the background of the magazine to black so everything else would stand out. In our digipak we used red quite a lot, we used a variation of images that had red lips to make the digipak more seductive and effective. We used red roses to represent romance and the text was red and white. As Valentines Day was coming up, I came up with the idea of when the album should be released and the main colour of Valentines has always been red. Our ancillary task prepared the audience for what they would see in my main product which is my music video.
