Comparing Ancillaries

I decided to find other posters and album covers online, and compare my products to professional ones.


POSTER:




  • Firstly, the main differences are that the actual Imagine Dragons poster (left) has the same image used on the album front cover, which is one of the things mine doesn't have. 
  • They both have an album release date, and "featuring..."
  • My poster has more reviews than the one on the left- I have three from Kerrang, Mojo, and NME
  • My poster has a Facebook logo as well as the record companies' logo, which the other one doesn't have.
Generally I think my poster has stuck to the conventions of a poster in a music magazine quite well, even though there are some differences between them.

DIGIPAK:



  • The front cover for "Night Visions" is the same used on the poster, whereas mine has used the rose because of its importance throughout the music video. 
  • The back cover is just plain black, but I decided to use an image, but to manipulate it so it is now black and white, along with some red to carry on with the visual motif.
  • Similarly, the disk is just plain black, but I have put an image where the disk will go (I still need to finish editing it).
  • My inside image is of our singer, which I have noticed is a convention sometimes used for digipaks. 
Overall my digipak is quite different from the original Imagine Dragons product, but a lot of the codes and conventions are still there, so the audience will be able to see what it is.
