How effective is the combination of your main.pptm from AbbieYapp

Evaluation Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Final Digipak and Advertisement

This is my finished digipak and I feel it has gone successful. I feel it shows conventions of a real digipak as it contains elements such as a barcode, record label, track listing and general layout of the digipak. In order for my digipak to appeal to my target audience I have asked for their feedback and changed the elements they felt needed changing to the digipak.  I feel my digipak displays indie elements as I have selected a popular filter seen within the indie genre.

This is my finished print advert, I feel this has also gone successfully as it has clear links to the music video and my digipak. I am pleased with my print advert as I feel it displays conventions of a real print advert. I have included elements such as music reviews, date of the release, record label and what format the album can be purchased on.

Production: Digi Pak Second Draft & Feedback

The main change the audience said was  needed was that the track listing was hard to read. To solve this I put a translucent box in front of the text which colour matches the theme, but also makes the text stand out more. I have also included information about the record label and the copyright at the bottom of the window so that it looks like a professional piece of work.  I am pleased with this result as it is a good final outcome for all of my re-search, this is echoed through my audiences feedback for the second draft.

Production: Print Advert Draft Two

This is my second draft for my print advert. I have moved the iTunes logo, and made the magazine names bolder like my audience suggested. I have also brightened Kieron's face so it looks natural on the page. I am very happy with the outcome of my advert and have combined my research and planning to make it fit the target audience as much as I can, which I think I have achieved.

Production: Digi Pack Draft One Feedback

The feedback from the audience mainly suggests that the track listing is too hard to read so I may need to move it or change the colour. Also it is lacking some of the major conventions of a typical digi pak like the record label and copyright.

Production: Print Advert Draft One Feedback

The feedback I have been given suggests that the iTunes logo should be moved as it is too high and looks out of place. The magazine names font is hard to read and needs to be larger or bolder. Finally Kieron's face is dark and looks strange on the page. I will now go into production of my second draft and make the necessary changes.
