Previous Ancillary Work

Here are some examples of good work from previous students.

The person who created this advert for 'Nathan Miller - I Am Electropop' seems to have followed conventions very well. I like how his colour palette is very simple and definitely fits in with the electropop genre. The green, purple and white stand out very nicely against each other and against the black background. He has appropriate critics for the genre and also shows singles from the album.The use of the social networks also shows how modern the artist and genre are.

I think the album cover is very good and l think although he has used a heavy filter on the picture, the effect fits with the genre and makes the picture look better. However I don't the back part of the cover simply because of the colour he chose. I think if he kept the back black as well, there would have been better continuity and looked more professional.

I think the inside is the weakest out of the three and it looks like he ran out of time and couldn't finish it in time :(. The CD is designed well, as it has the same pattern as the back of the album cover, but it is too small for the case which doesn't really happen. The other side is really empty and there isn't much that he has put in there. The picture is quite cheesy and the pose and effect around it really doesn't work for the genre.

This digipak for 'Y.Shocker - Life Of My Memories' is very genre specific and works very well. The grey colour palette works very well with his grey clothes in his cover photo. The font also works very well and is good for the genre. However, the lines that are on the front make it look cluttered and a bit cheesy, and the CD has no design on it and is too small for the case.

The advert, like the digipak, is genre specific and has featuring artists that are in around the same genre as the artist. The lines still take away from how professional the advert looks, and the writing is quite basic and doesn't really tell us much.
