How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
I believe that the combination works very well together as I tried to maintain a theme though out them all. I decided early on to make a colour scheme for all my media products, that was purple, green and navy. I would continue to use this on the digipack and the website. I think this links all the products well as it is quite a subtle way of relating all the productions together. Furthermore I also decided early on to have a theme of 'dreaming'. This was initially inspired by the decision to call my artist Reverie which basically means to daydream. I decided also fit this theme in any future productions for the artist. These themes are most prominent on the website:
The theme of dreaming, although not an obvious theme, enables the audience to recognizes different products and see that they come from the same background artist with out either hearing a song or seeing an image of the artist.
Furthermore throughout all productions I tried to maintain the codes and conventions of the genre. This not only will help attract my target audience but also allow people who are new to the genre to get a better understanding of the genre and get a feel for what the genre has to hold.
Across all products I tried to maintain the desired image I wanted to create of my artist. This was one of subtlety. I didn't want my artists to be portrayed as barefaced and resounding but rather more modest. This is reflected in the simplicity in the design and construction of all of the products. Moreover I created a distinctive logo/name that I would use across all products:
I used a font from the website www.dafont.com called Handwriting draft for my artist logo. I then used an editing software called GNU Image Manipulation Software (GIMP 2.0) to add effects such as transparency and gradients.
I believe that using this logo across all platforms of products enables the artist to have a distinctive image that when seen away from the products will instantly make the viewer recognize the artist.
