Digipack advert #2

Although online promotion is important, and can be found on sites like Youtube, Facebook, other social networking sites, and the artists websites, it is also important to be published in print. The printed versions found in magazines and news articles can be highly detailed and can often include a review or criticism about the song. Magazines are read by a lot of young fans, and get passed around to all their friends, reaching  a large fan base.  Advertisements can be kept for weeks or months at a time, and can be read and re-read. Not only this, but the 'limited edition products', like pens, magnets and posters encourage the consumer to purchase the magazine. These products tend to last a long time, making sure that the name of the artist is not forgotten easily. 

Print can also include Biographies written by artists to tell the story of how they came to fame. 

Digipackadvert #1

After researching the conventions, we found that we need to include the following on the advert:

1. Name of the Artist
2. Name of the Album
3. Release date
4. Main image
5. Artist website
6. Artist logo
7. Record Label Logo
8. Possible slogan 

As we can see, all the adverts above contain minimal text. They have one image in the background covering the entire page, a photo of the artist. The name of the artist and album is bold, and astounding, making it eye catching. They contain the website address of the artist. Along with he address is often the most popular song named on the front, allowing people who to associate it with that song. 

This is our mock up version of our digipack.

This the feed back we received from our digipack on facebook.
