The document discusses the creation of ancillary products like a CD cover and advertisement poster for a music album. Key points: 1) Scenes and themes from the music video were used in the album artwork and print ad to create continuity and consistency with the artist's brand. 2) Images for the products were edited in Photoshop by adding layers and effects to match the gothic genre of the music. 3) Text was added in Illustrator to find fonts that worked well with the image and genre, using different fonts for the artist name versus album name. 4) The final products featured the edited image as the focal point, with details like track listing and producer credits in smaller text

I have then tried to create a similar combination to allow the themes to
run throughout my final products and create my own brand identity.

CREATING ANCILLARY
The music video, the album cover and the print By using the same scenes in the ancillary products as in my
ad all have a gothic gloomy feel to them. This music video, it creates continuity within the brand of the artist.
also works well in keeping consistency in genre
of the artist in my media products.
The first thing I have done to create my brand identity is using
themes and scenes from my final music video in the album
artwork and print ad.

CREATING ANCILLARY
To create my final image for my
ancillary products I edited my images
on Adobe Photoshop, I did this by
adding layers to create different effects
and chose the best one I felt worked
well with the genre of the music and to
fit best with my music video. This effect
will be represented throughout both my
ancillary products such as CD cover and
advertisement poster.
The filter used to create this effect was
‘Lighten’
After I had edited my images on Photoshop I then added
text using Adobe Illustrator, I used this programme
because it has a wide range of different fonts to choose from
rather than just added text on a Publisher document and it
allowed me to find the best font that worked well with the
image and the genre of music.
I used two different fonts on Illustrator – Georgia and
Edwardian Script ITC these fonts I felt worked well with the
genre and the gothic feel, the font I used for the artists
name is much plainer than the album name I didn’t want to
have too much of the same font going on because the artists
name wouldn’t stand out to the other text. I then used this
font on the back of the album cover for the producers name
and copyright text at the bottom. The curlier font I used for
the album name on the front of the CD cover and from the
song numbers on the back of the CD cover and also on the
poster.

FINAL ANCILLARY
I have used the same fonts on my
different ancillary products to make
them a more effective combination. I
chose the font that I felt goes with the
heartache genre of the music on my
final media product. I tried to keep the
font to fit with the artist of music and
what genre she works with.
Inside sleeve
Poster
Back of album cover
The second font I used for the artists
name was plain because I didn't want
to much clutter or too much going on
in the ancillary products, which
works well with the simple mise-en-
scene used in the music video.
