Magazine Advert Analysis

This is a magazine advert for the 'Kings of Leon' album 'Come Around Sundown'. It shows the same kind of image as album cover's image and uses the same font as it does on the album. It shows the name of the artist and the name of the album, it states it as 'the new album' and includes the date of it's release. At the bottom it shows the production company and their website. It also shows the logo and name of 'amazon.com' which is where you can purchase the album from.


This is the front cover for the album.

These are some images we took to use either in our digipack or in our advert:





















Snow Patrol Advert Analysis

As a group we have analysed 'Snow Patrol's' digipak advert, we decided to analyse Snow Patrol as they have similar sounding music to ours, and are in a similar musical genre, so they would be targetting the same audience as us.
We have done this as we need to find out more about magazine digipak adverts as we want to make ours as authentic as possible.

Digipack Photos: Editing

We adapted a number of images we had previously taken and edited to create a draft fro either an inlay or the front of our digipack:

We started with this image:



We then edited it on Photoshop CS3 to create this:



And then once again to create this:

Digipack Photos

These are some photos we took for our digipack, we took these on a long, empty road to emphasize the name of the album 'A Long Walk Home'. We took some with the band members and some without, it is likely that the ones with the band members will feature in the inlay as through our research of Indie rock we have found that mostly the artists do not feature on the front but rather on an inlay.
