EVALUATION 2

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

For our digi-pack and poster we thought and decided we wanted to follow the same conventions our artist of DJ Magma being fiery, fierce, bubbly, therefore we wanted to follow this being shown through our ancillary texts. First of all we had the idea to follow the idea of Magma being associated with volcanos therefore placing our artist Magma in a volcano i believe follows and plays on this idea. The font i have placed on the front of the digi-pack looks distorted, i went for this idea because i wanted to text to look as if it has been burnt to follow the same idea of the volcano. With Magma coming out of a volcano along with the disco ball in the background, this gives the thought of Magma as a bubbly character, but also showing he is a DJ with the disco ball. With the Digi-pack on the whole i feel that it gives a good account of what Magma is all about and emphasizes our idea we want Magmas audience to see.

On the poster we decided to use the front of our digi-pack because we want to familiarize our artist with the fans to keep thinking and recognizing Magma. I include don the poster a number of various venues Magma will be performing, this gives the advertisement side of Magma to the fans to come and see Magma live. The release date of the album is also included to make the fans aware. The sony BMG logo is also on the poster to show his record label and at the bottom it also has the social networking sites Magma can be found on, this giving the link to the fans as a way of contacting and interacting with Magma. All of my ideas were placed on the poster to therefore follow the convention of how a real artist would advertise.

Overall i believe that both the Digi-pack and also the poster reflect our artist and follow the conventions of the posters and digi-pack and feel that from this our artist would be able to fit into the music industry.
