Question 2: How effective is the combination of your product and ancillary tasks?

 Answering question 2 for the evalution on my A2 Media Productions (Music video, CD Digipack and Website).

Website

For my A2 Media Studies Coursework, I did all the ancillary tasks, as at the start I did the magazine advert task and the CD Digipack. But towards the end I chooses the best two of the three ancillary for this was the CD Digipack and the website.
This is the following website that I created for the album 'Tragedy and Time' and the band 'ReRock' : http://shaunhardwick8.wix.com/rerock.


I decided to change the magazine advert ancillary task to the website ancillary task, as the website would allow me to be more experimental and design the website more creative and better than just producing a magazine advert. I used the following website creator known as 'Wix' to make an effective, eye-catching website to promote the band and the album.

Tragedy and Time Music Video (Take 2)

This version is the final one, as in the music video there has been a few changes and updated to make it more interesting and clearer to understand. However the majority of the music video is the same as the previous version which was uploaded onto YouTube. Enjoy.

CD Album Digipack

This is the front cover for the CD Album Digital Pack.
I have used the colours- black and white, as they are very eye-
catching; this matches to its genre- rock.
This is the first version of how the front cover for the album may look
like if this is the final, finished version.



This back cover for the album is the first version,
as there a few changes to make.
Similar features as the front cover with the use of black
and white colours and the band logo on the back as well as
the front.

This image above shows some ideas I had for
the design for the back cover for the album.
As there similar features between them like I
kept the same colours and general layout for
the back cover for the digipack.

This image shows the final outcome of the general
design for the album, as I had used Adobe CC Photoshop
to layout the images which was created in Adobe CC Illustrator and InDesign.
Furthermore the photographs were taken myself and were placed correctly behind
the created illustrated designs on Photoshop.
The bottom right is the main front cover and the bottom left is the back cover
for the album. The other two parts is for the reverse sides for both the front cover and back cover.
