Digipaks are created to help advertise and promote a music genre. It is also a hard copy form that a fan can buy and have feeling more connected with the artist. For my ancillary work i researched on similar artists with a similar genre to mine. One of the digipak's that i analysed and influenced me was Tinie Tempah's 'Disc-Overy'. This followed a similar theme and look i was going for which was the space background.
The layout of my album cover was influenced by Tinchy Stryder's 'Star In The Hood' album cover. This consisted of a close up shot of the artist in the center with the artists name and album name in the bottom center I also used a clear font making it easy to read and kept the artists name bigger than the album name meeting similar conventions to my genre.
Magazine advertisements are to help sell albums created by an artist. I researched similar artists magazine advertisements to mine that also had a similar genre. With this i felt my magazine advertisement fit in with the conventions other advertisements follow. By researching i realised that many of these advertisements used one image that was the album cover however i did not want to this as felt i would have been to repetitive. Plan B's magazine advertisement gave me a good idea on the information i should include however i felt there was a lot of empty spaces so i decided to do mine in A5.
