Ancillary Text

This is my final choice designs for my ancillary text. I feel they give the good impression of the bands image, they look professional and work well together.

Digipack final design










POSTER

These are my choice of designs for the magazine poster as part of my ancillary text. The Last two were my favourite choices but i asked five other media student which one caught their eye. The poster below was most popular as everyone thought the texture in the background was grunge and juxtaposed with the light. Two people felt the piano poster was very effective which is also a favorite of mine but i thought it wouldn't represent their genre best, as they're more like You Me At Six, alternative rock not alternative post- brit pop like Coldplay. I have picked aspects from my digipack design to keep synergy such as the title, the fonts, the snake textures and the light patterns. After experimenting on Photoshop with the composition and layering by taking inspiration from The Verve's (an english rock band) poster i previously analyzed. They made the title clear and large a the top of the post making the photography the focus point, while adding the important information such as date release, what form of media it comes in and where you can find out more information while keeping the text small at the bottom to minimize distraction and keeping it to the point.
