CD Cover: Advert:
These 2 examples both use the same designs for their album covers as their advert. This helps to get the look of the album cover stuck into people's heads. For example if you see the Green Day advert you will remember the hand holding a heart shaped grenade so you will look for a hand holding a heart shaped grenade for a cd cover.
The Disturbed advert is using the cd cover but with added background texture and much more textual information about the release date and band details.
In other designs there are cd covers and adverts with different images used. I think this isn't as effective as using the same image for both, it may seem to be advertising 2 different products when they are advertising the same one. For example: 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' cd cover and advert:
CD Cover: Advert:
In our advert we shall be using the same image as one of the digipak images, maybe adjusting the colours slightly. We will be using one of Alyssa's Photoshop drawings of the blue sky with clouds and a white path leading off into the distance. For the CD cover we will be using this image as well as 2 very similar to get the feeling of the image is continuing. We will be using another of Alyssa's Photoshop drawings for the otherside, this image is of a sunset with silhouetted buildings. Again to fill out the other 2 panels we have used 2 of the same sort of image for the added effect.
We still need to add the information such as tracknames, the name of the album (Dreamscape) and other technical information about the DVD such as aspect ratio and run time. For the tracknames we can make them up but we will have to give them links to dreamy atmospheres and to fit the genre.
In our current draft of the advert we have included shops and websites for where to buy the album, this is conventional for album covers. We may also include reviews from existing or fictional reviewing companies and the date of release.
