ANCILLARY TASK EVALUATION

TARA RENDELL

Box 1 – Inside LeftI used this picture for the inside left image as in digipacks I have looked at, most of them have a photo for inside left. The reason I chose this image is because it was a obvious view of the artist and introduces him to the audience. Also, the photo isn’t too in your face and is subtle in the whole digipack. This image is also useful because it shows features of the artist that you may not see in other photos, it also shows the artist in a similar scene where the other photos for the digipack was taken.

Box 2 – CDThis is a positive image for a cd and it allows the audiences imagination to go ‘wild’ when listening to the music. This image is also good as it doesn’t have any text or artist on it, this allows the audience to know who the artist are but doesn’t tell them. This can be related back to the other pictures of the digipack as they are all a dominant green colour and have a forest theme.

Box 3 – Inside Right

This image shows the artist in action whilst shooting, this shows the type of music that the artist plays and grabs the audiences attention if they like that genre of music. Having a guitar in the image shows that most of the songs will be slow and love related. As this photo will go behind the CD, I have decided to make it a simple image.

Box 4 – Extra PanelAs this is the extra panel in the digipack, I have decided to have a forest and green dominated photo with some song lyrics, this shows the relation to the other images in the digipack. This also gives the audience the choice based on the lyrics whether they want to buy the album. This also shows that the artist is different and indie which means he only appeals to some people.

Box 5 – Back CoverThis is the back cover and this shows the titles of the songs and the image relates to the album and artist because it has some forest and green in it however, has the inclusion of something that hasn’t appeared before. This is a good thing because it shows that the artist can be diverse and can include different things within the dominant green and forest theme.

Box 6 – Front CoverThis is the main image for the digipack as it’s the front cover image. The images colour has been edited so it is different from others and it stands out more. This image is simple for the fact that it would appeal to more people with as little. The colours used it important as although all other images are dominantly green, this image is more yellow and has a warm tint to it. The font is also important as it is the same colour and font in all images that have been used.

Gig PosterThe font is the same throughout the gig poster but also shows synergy with the digipack as its is the same font.

The image is the same image as the front cover of the album. This is an important factor whilst making a gig poster as it allows the audience to identify the artist.

Again, the font is the same as the album which shows synergy. This time it is the same colour which allows the audience to identify the artist without hearing their songs.
