2. From looking back at my ancillary work I feel that I have followed all the
conventions that are associated with a digipak. I created the album by
simply doing it how the majority of albums are created. However there
aren’t many albums that contain text on the inside and I decided to do
this by adding part of the songs lyrics as I believe there was space to do
so and it gave it a much better look. I also included an Image of the artist
on the back cover with the track list to further promote him. This isn’t
really done by many albums so it is a bit different how I have designed
my digipak. Other then that I followed all the main conventions of a
digipak which included: Large and clear image of the artist on front cover
to promote the artist, larger artist name than album name as the idea is
to promote the artist and not the album, clear font so can be read easily
– my font is not the clearest in the world but I believe it’s easily readable
and gives my digipak a much better look, track list, barcode, copyright
information and production logo on the back cover, basic colours so the
main attention is on the artist and finally, included the album
name, artist name, serial number and production logo on the side panel.
The way I have laid out my digipak is just like the majority of albums and I
got influences from them so thought it would be best to keep it this way.
Below is my final digipak to show how I have followed the conventions.

3. From looking back at my ancillary work I feel that I have followed all
the conventions that are associated with a magazine advert. Once
again I created the magazine advert how the majority of magazine
adverts are created. I used a very large image of my artist to promote
them along with the name of the artist in larger font than all the other
pieces of text as it is the most important. I also included the album
cover on the advert just to let people know what to buy and I also
included where you can buy it (iTunes and hmv), where you can hear
about it (Facebook and twitter), when the album Is out (OUT
NOW), what the album includes (Hit single – I Need) and also the
album name (Letter to god). The only thing I did on the magazine
advert that you may not see on that many albums was add a quote
what a company has said about the album. I decided to do this
because it makes it look more professional and with the stars makes it
look more attractive. Overall though that’s the only thing I did
differently to most albums and my layout of the magazine advert
consists of all the conventions associated with a magazine advert. On
the right is my final digipak to show how I have followed the
conventions.
