Annotating our magazine advert:

• There is a relationship between the video, digipak and the magazine's artwork as we have used the same font and coloured text, the same image, and the same theme.


• We chose the image to be the same as the image on the digipak because we noticed most artists do this of our artists' genre, and it helps create the same theme throughout the promotion of her music video and album.


• The layout and page design is similar to that of the front cover of the digipak except we have ensured more room for details about the artist, such as tour dates, etc.


• This has been made eye catching in a similar way to the digipak front cover; large, bright, colourful font, an image which focuses on the artist.


• The design suggests the genre of the band because it uses iconography of the genre such as bright colours etc.


• The artists star image is further developed because the heart, which is her star image motif, has been shown throughout her video, album and now her magazine advert.


• Industry information that is included is the record label and her website, etc.

Annotating our digipak:

1. There is a relationship between the video and the albulm's artwork as during the video, lyrics will appear onscreen in a rainbow coloured 'bauhaus' font, one which we will then re-use for our albulm and magazine advert for the artists name, 'Scarlett'. Additionally, we will be using an image that was taken on the set of a scene in the music video, with the same clothing and props for the albulm cover; many artists do this, especially if they are naming their album after one of their songs.



2. Our choice of image for our CD cover not only links to the music video that the album is named after, but also is eye-catching and encorparates the colour red which we are having as our artists 'house colour'. Some of the font and colours will have been previously seen in the music video as above explains, as will the setting and the artists' clothing. The theme of the cover matches the theme of the video; fun, light hearted, and young.


3. The layout of the cover focuses on the artist, with her name being the biggest text on the page so people will notice this first.


4. As a commercial object, we have tried to make it desirable and eye catching by using bright colours and bold fonts, using a large image of the artist which has been brightened on photoshop.


5. The design does suggest the genre of the artist, as rainbow colours and bright images are regularly used for female electropop artists such as Katy Perry. Iconography of the genre used includes;


6. It develops the artists star image because her 'house colour' is red, which is encorporated in her shoes, lipstick, and the heart she is lying on; this heart is also going to be her star image motif. The rainbow coloured text and font is also developing her star image as this is used in her music video also.

Digipack- Final Draft :)

Magasine advet- final draft :)

Digipack Drafts

This is the flat planning and literally everything we did relating to the Digipack, all using Photoshop.

This is the fan page we made for a page in our digipack. The images link to the music video, the stars our one of our star image motifs. The font is one of our house fonts.

This is the back cover we used for our digipack. It is meant to be a playful version of blueprints to a dollhouse, which links to the name of our song. If you look closely, the names of the rooms our ones which you may find in a barbie house which also links to the lyrics of our song. The font is a house font, and the turquoise and pink are colours often found throughout our products. The white stars our one of our star image motifs.

This was a draft of one of our back covers. We edited the picture to make the heart redder and the grass greener. The image links to our video and the heart is one of our star image motifs. The font is a house font.

This was another draft for our digipack.

We edited this picture by making the heart more red and the grass more green. We also brightened the image and increased the exposure and colour:
This is the spine we made for our digipack which made it to the final design. One of our star image motifs, white stars, are featured. As our the house colours of turquoise and pink. The font relates to the digipack and magazine advert and the colour of the album name links to the CD cover.
This was our fan page before we edited the font to include our house fonts.

These were pictures we were going to use for our collage page in our digipack.

This was a draft of the collage page we were going to use in our digipack, but it took too long and then we realised it wasn't the correct size measurements, and when we made it smaller, it pixelated all the pictures. The only way to get around this problem was opening the images individually into Microsoft word, making them smaller and pasting them into photoshop but this took ridiculously long. The teacup was going to be one of our star image motifs originally.

Without the font ;

Magazine ad draft

This is the draft for our magazine ad:

I think we're gunna change it drastically though because its way too similar to our digipack front cover.

Intertextuality ideas for the digipack..

Due to our intertextual references to 'Alice In Wonderland', (the tea party scene and the looking glass scene), we have decided to use memorable quotes from the book in our digipack, including:

• 'Curiouser and curiouser!'



• 'But I don't want to go among mad people'



• 'What a curious plan!'



• 'Oh, I don't come from any garden'



• 'Through the looking glass'

We feel these link to our video well and will provide our target audience with a sense of comfort as they are reading something familiar which they are able to connect with something new. This light hearted approach reflects the representation we wish our artist to have, and audiences will be aware of her fun and carefree attitude.

We thought the following pictures would be appropriate for the quotes:

Another little quote we thought was good was from Toy Story, as said by Little Bo Peep; 'You're cute when you care.' This links to the idea of our artist still showing feelings for her ex, or giving a reason as to why she liked him in the first place. By providing background information such as this in the digipack allows the audience to make an instant connection with our artist as they feel they are being given an insight to the artists' life. For this quote, we felt happy pictures from when the artist and her ex were happy would be good, such as:
