Comparing Adverts

I tried to go against the normal conventions of the typical type of albums for this genre; for instance typical Alternative rock albums have plain black background. This is done because usually on top of this is an image or drawing, which is very stereotypical because I didn’t go for that look as I wanted my Album to stand out. When doing my research I walked into a HMV store which had the Albums placed in there genre categories, therefore I wanted to make sure that my picture stood out from the rest of this genre. I did this so if it was in a shop store it would be eye catching and draw someone into it. This is done so that people will pick it up and looking at the picture and decide to buy the album. I therefore made my album look that little bit different and unique by used a projection screen to put an image onto the artist cause him to look like part of the background, which made him look slightly transparent. The picture I used was of a Forrest which therefore ties in with the rest of the theme of being in a Forrest which as you can see actually flows throughout my digipak.      

 

 

After looking at both of these magazine adverts side by side I feel that I have created a good representation and I have followed my initial plans which I created before, I also believe that I have tried to challenge the usual conventions of a magazine advert and digipak to create something that I think the audience would like or prefer.
