ASSIGNMENT 32 – STUDENT ANCILLARY ASSESSMENTBy Ben , Sam, Max and Tom

This Digipak is a good student one as it has a good continuity throughout and has a distinct colour scheme throughout.

The digipak meets the common conventions of a digipak for example the digipak contains the record company’s name, song list, name of the single and the album name.

The digipak also highlights the track and record company which allows the artists to appeal commercially and viewers will be able to relate to the album if they have heard one of the artists records before.

The Digipak uses a wide range of fonts and sizes of fonts to make the digipak visually sticking.

Student Digipak (Good Example) 9/10

Student Digipak (Bad Example) 6/10

The Digipak used a lack of text variation, the title is also very simple and does not require a lot of skill, the title is also not very sticking.

The is a very low level amount of challenge here, despite the fact the artist is promoting her self and showing her audiences it is her album, there is very little meaning behind the image and the Mise-En-Scene is not very sticking.

The digipak is very plane and simple and does is not very sticking, the colours in the digipak do not constant one and other therefor absorb into the background.

Student Magazine Cover (Good Example) 8/10

The overall layout of the magazine cover and the variety of layers used it very proficient, every section is clear and contain a wide range of information however the album name and name of the artist is most visible and dominating. By making the information clear and easy to read and understand it allows the audiences to be enticed and leaves them wanting to find out more about the artist.

The digipak and the magazine cover also link together using similar images and colour schemes to allow the audiences to easily relate the two.

The advert its self portrays the artists name and also shows a critical review. By adding a website to the poster the artist is promoting himself and allowing audiences to easily access information about him.

Student Magazine Cover (Bad Example) 5/10The main image does not give much information about the artist which means audiences will struggle to recognize who the artist is, the is also no clear USP which as a consequence will mean audiences will struggle to be enticed by the magazine cover.The magazine cover its self is not very challenging, there is only the use of one main font which then dominates the page. There is also a lack of variety when it comes to the colour schemes used in the cover.The overall magazine advert is not to challenging, and is very simplistic, the same image is repeated twice by the two artists. This is done is an attempt to promote the artist however the attempt was ineffective and does not strike the audience.
