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

2. Both the Digi-pak and advert we made are similar in a

helps create a cohesive image of the band. We did this as
many of the bands we researched had a similar
convention and so it was necessary to make then similar
to remain with conventions. The main album image of
album is also kept the same as we it helps the Digi-Pak
remain similar and recognisable to each other as well as
because we saw numerous similar examples during
research.

3. We always had the lead singer in the centre as this is
often a convention done by indie bands and it was

engaged with the product
before its released.

album magazines in order to reinforce the
bands image of having critical acclaim and to
help sell the album by the audience by it being
favoured by magazines and giving it an
additional selling point among those who do
not usually listen to the Indie genre.
