AS:

• Genre

- Challenged the conventions of music genre - developed a mixed genre of past and present music
- Adhered to a young adult audience which is a common convention on the market
- The magazine adhered to original size convention of A4 to make the magazine appear conventional among others on the shelf

• Medium(s)

- Created my magazine using the digital medium of Photoshop to be applied onto an A4 sized paper
- Used photography which is a typical medium used within magazines

• Brief

-Designed a cover page, contents page and double page spread - could not produce additonal features and worked to the constraint of this

• Original

- Created my own magazine title and logo
- Produced my own photography which were completely unique to my magazine, as well as person and props - adhered to this convention that magazine work independtly to produce their own work
- Produced my own article and text alongside the magazine which was completely original to my magazine and no one else's

• Intentional or Unintentional

- Followed a house style (colour palette and typography features etc) as an intentional feature to make all three pages look consistantly uniform

A2:

• Genre

- Adhered to a young female audience that would idolise the female artist
- Enhanced the sexuality of my female artist to make both products appeal to both genders and fit into the mass market
- Music video was generic as it featured a track over video images
- Digipak had to fit into the certain template to fit in the market
- Album Advert has contraint of A4 and could not create an unusual shape to appeal to my audience

• Medium(s)

- I used pen and paper to create the illustrations for the Digipak and Album Advert
- Used paint as a feature on the background of my Album Advert which mixed digital technology with a physical medium
- Used video technology as the central medium for my music video - central convention of any music video

• Brief

- To create a music video that features your artist to promote a new single
- Create two ancillary texts, a digipak and album advert, that would support your artist

• Original

- Created the star image of a unique artist to feature in all my texts
- Sourced out unique locations for the filming of my music video which would not have been available to anyone else
- Created an original design for both my digipak and album advert that has not been produced the same anywhere else
- Created original illustrations for both my digipak and album advert that were specific to my artist

• Intentional or Unintentional

- The illustrations were an unintentional feature of my digipak, I had original wanted to use photography but I thought my draft illustrations created a unique way of representing my artist
- Intentional use of props and angles throughout my music video to present my artist in a specific way, especially supporting the theory of the Male gaze in order to appeal to a mass market
- My house style (colour palette and use of typography etc) was consistent for both my ancillary texts which was an intentional feature to make them appear uniform together
- I intentionally used the same illustration on the cover of my digipak and the same illustration on my album advert so that my audience would be able to easily recognise my artist against others and form a connection to the marketing campaign
- More intentionally aware of the function to sell my artist on my digipak and album advert
