1. How effective is the
combination of your
main product and
ancillary texts?
By Molly Breeden
2. Our complete A2 project
consisted of our music video
and our two ancillary texts;
the album cover and the
magazine advert. We designed
all of our ancillary products
based on one of our music
video themes, the fact that
love is not always black and
white. We made sure that link
showed in most of the
products by having continuity
with the black and white
photos.
3. Digipak designs
• We began mind mapping ideas
for our ancillary products by
picking out the most relative
parts of our music video and
seeing which we preferred on
our products. We focused on
making lots of inter textual
references between our music
video and our products. Here
are some of the ideas we had
to begin with. > > >
4. 1. Our first idea was to have a lot of fun
and create some abstract products
with fun and colourful pictures on the
front such as the Coldplay XY album
cover. >
2. Another of our ideas was to follow the
theme of black and white in our music
video and keep all the photos on our
products black and white to show the
simple side to the relationship in the
video.
3. Thirdly, we had the idea of using the
stereotypical scenes that we had
shown in our video of having
Fergal(the artist) on the front cover in
the pub, the stereotypical male
environment and having myself on the
back cover in the kitchen, the
stereotypical female environment!
