Evaluation of Media Production

Final Digipak Plan

This is our updated version of the digipak. The main corrections we have made for this is changing the colour of the font from black to white to make it stand out. We also changed the background on the inside   cover of the digipak to link it to our music advert.

Final Magazine Advert

The music magazine advert received strong and positive reviews, especially by the impact of the Looney Tunes background. The cartoon pictures of Harry and I create the impression of the genre because rap and grime generally have forms of the main artist. However Dizzee Rascal has a alternative  style to other artists with a varied version of himself. 
The information along the bottom of the poster is typical of every advertisement in the music industry. The 'Dirtee Stank Recordings' and 'SBTV' are both related to the rap industry. 'Dirtee Stank Recordings' are the record label which Dizzee Rascal created in 2003, while SBTV (SmokeyBarzTV) is a company which focus on grime and British hip hop music in London. The website at the bottom of the poster has been shown in various posters in every industry of the media, so it makes it relevant to include it in ours.

Digipak Task First Design

                                   

These are our first set of digipak and magazine adverts that were marked and graded. Our mindset for the digipak was to have it so it can relate to our advert while simultaneously relating it to the Dizzee Racscal 'Bonkers' cover.  The cartoon style of Harry and I makes the cover seem humorous and create an effect of comedy, Dizzee Rascal has a alternative style to other rap and grime artists with a varied version of himself.

The additional songs on the back of the album (bottom right) makes it seem like a Dizzee Rascal album cover because he has extra songs on all of his singles and his albums. 

Relationship between 'Bonkers' and the 'Digipak'

The relationship between our digipak and the cover for 'Bonkers' is not imminently clear. The cover for 'Bonkers' just has Dizzee Rascal covered in red with an unusual font for both the title of the song and the artist. Ours on the other hand has a cartoon version of me and Harry with a more of a graffiti style font. This can be related to various other grime artists in the industry like Chris Brown.

    

Second Magazine Advert

We decided to go for a more simplistic design with a red background so it relates to the Dizzee Rascal album cover. This made the cartoon figures stand out more than the graffiti background. The bottom information is stereotypical of music magazine advertisements.The change from graffiti writing to a different font which like the cartoon figures stand out from the background. The font however is no as clear as we wanted it to be and we have decided to modify it for our future music advert.

Initial Digipak Plan

The was our first initial digipak plan. This was simplistic and we didn't consider the back or the middle of the digipak, but the front of the digipak worked well. The cartoon figures on the front worked really well and complimented the background in a comical way. The font and size of the writing is really good, but the colour of writing doesn't work well with the background or work well with the cartoon figures.
