Evaluation: Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

In order to create an effective combination of our main product and our ancillary tasks, we needed a house style and this had to run through each product. As seen above, Eminem's 'Not Afraid' single cover is fairly identical to the advertisment and has a similar colour scheme to the album. The text on each piece is the same font and colour aswell. Therefore, we wanted to create something similar with our ancillary tasks, using the colours from our digipak album to use on our magazine advert.

As you can see above, there are certain images and colours that are used throughout each section of our ancillary tasks. The image of Remi, our actor, has been put on the advert and the inside left panel of the digipak. The same font, 'Roadway', is used for the digpak, CD and advert.

Also, black is used throughout as a means of creating a darker implications to the song meaning. The fireworks on the front have the colour drawn from them to use on the poster as a gradient and the same colour is used for the inside cover of the digipak.

A burn effect is also used on this inside cover and this is a recurring theme in the song.

The combination of our main and ancillary tasks, in my opinion, is very effective in creating our house style. This effect is created by a continuous use of the same font, colours and images throughout each product. Therefore, I believe that the combination of our products make it clear to the audience, and of course customers, that the products are linked.
