The document discusses how the creator developed consistency across different media to portray their music artist. They chose a song within a particular genre that they related to personally in order to define the artist's identity. Photoshop skills were limited at first but improved, allowing the creator to design a digipak and poster featuring the same picture and font to look more professional. The jumper worn by the artist in the video and on the digipak helps create a motif and symbol for the audience to relate back to the artist and tie the different elements together.

of your main product and
ancillary texts?

2. • I found that by choosing a song that I knew well
and could relate to, I found it a lot easier to
create an artist and his identity based around
that particular genre. I wanted to make sure
that all forms of my artist were able to relate
back to his collective identity. However, an
older audience may draw the conventional
stereotypes of teenagers from my video as he
wearing hoodies and is portrayed to come from
a urban background where as a teenager like
myself would relate to it in a positive manner.

3. • My digipak and poster linked well with
my video as from the beginning I had the
idea of who my artist. However, as I was
novice to Photoshop I struggled to
portray the image I had in my head, as
you can see from my poor drafts. Once I
overcame this I managed to create a
digipak which portrayed my artists
image by using many effects and
settings. By using the same picture and
font for my Front Cover and Poster it
made it look more professional by
making it consistent. I used pictures of
my artist in his home town and estate to
show that where he grew up has shaped
him and influenced him as an artist.

4. • In addition to this the jumper my artist is wearing
creates the theme for my digipak and poster. He is
wearing it in each panel and the CD pattern is the
same to the one seen on the jumper. This
consistency in my digipak and poster helped me
construct a symbol that the audience can relate
back to my artist, creating a motif for my artist. This
was also carried through in my video as my artist is
wearing jumper in one of the performance shots.
