Research on exhisting Advertisements

This Advertisement for Florence and the Machine is quite abstract. The main image is Florence in the center, with the name of the Album writen in black bold letters across the bottom of the page. 'Seeking the stars' written on the right hand corner underneath the artists name portrays the image as Florence is layed on a bed looking up. The writing illustrates a retro look. The advertisement sticks to a colour scheme of cream/pink tones and black. I think that this advertisement is extremely eye catching and fits the genre of the artist.

 

 

This advertisement promoting Ellie Goulding's new album 'Lights' works really well as it is a simple yet effective idea. The artists face is in the center of the image with strips of lights collaged in and around her hair. The writing is all kept in the same font and colour but enlarged for the artists name and album, which are written in the center of the mage underneath the artists face so that the main focus is on the artist.

There is also a star rating from 4 different magazines which encourages the reader to buy the album as they think it will be good from the ratings of others.

 

 

Ancillary Text 2 : Advertisement Poster for Digipak

I am going to create an Advertisement (poster) promoting my Digipak I have previously constructed on Photoshop for my Music Video. The poster will also be created on Photoshop using images that I have taken whilst filming.

I really liked the image of the clouds which I used on the stage shoot behind the hands and thought it would look effective on the CD image.

 

I couldn't decide where to place the underwater images, I decided that the bath image would look good on the front image because the high contrast in the image would be eyecatching on a shop shelf.

I thought that the layered picture of the lips and girl walking into water would look effective on one of the CD's because it is a circular image to begin with.

Track Name Ideas/Fonts

These are a few Track name ideas for the back of the Album Cover:

Never Let Me Go
Dreams of Passion
Underwater Rose
Lets Get Away From Here
Love Me
Lost
The Beautiful land
Escape
Let Me Be Loved
What is Real

Fonts:

Using 'Dafont.com'
I found a lot of fonts which were distressed / distorted. I thought that these would look effective on my album Digipak because my Music Video is quite abstract so would fit in well.

 

I finally chose the Name of the Artist to be just 'Daisy' I thought that it would look more effective as it was shorter than a full name and also slightly more abstract. I decided to write this across the front of the album cover to fit in with usual conventions of Digipaks.

 

Chosen Images for Digipak

I decided that this abstract underwater image would fit well with the back of the Digipak. I liked the different tones and colours and contrast of the image. Also the image is divided up into blocks because of the flowers enabling room for writing space. I cropped the image so that there would be sufficient space at the bottom of the image for barcode e.t.c.

I chose this image for one of the CD's inside the Digipak as the lips created a circular image.

 

I think this image would look really strong on the front of the Digipak. I liked how basic the image was and how strong the contrast was. I thought that the title of the Artist 'Daisy' would fit well on this image.

 

 

I was originally going to use this image for the back of the CD however because the face is in the very center I felt writing over it would detract from the image. However, because I liked the image I felt it could be used as an image inside the Digipak.
