Advert and digi pack

Here is a few steps along my journey to my final advert. I started with a purple background and white stripe through the middle because this shade of purple worked particularly well with my album mock up. However as I added the yellow text, again used in one of my album mock ups, the album just didn't seem to work and was too loud and did not work as I had envisioned. So with a drastic rethink I went with the wood back ground to fit with the acoustic guitar theme that my music video would eventually have. I then took the same type face and kept the purple but changed the yellow to a much softer blue, which is much more in keeping with the whole theme of my project and it seem to work together.

Here is the four shots of my digi pack. The background is the same wooden theme through out to keep continuity and as all my products as one, starting to create a brand and help my products much easier to recognise. I added the blue stripe to the album because it gives a distinct look throughout the album with to starting off 'sprouting' off the Above Hello title, then trailing through the rest of the album. Also, to keep up my connection with audience I included a personal message as a way of making it that much personal for the audience, which I hope to put into my final music video.

Audience Profile

Here is my audience profile it is a collection of images I have pulled together in an attempt to explain my target audience for my music video. I have made a point to show the social media community aspect that my target audience are interested in with IKT (CTFxC vlogs) and kings carriage both interactive parts of We the Kings. As well the fashion and mind set of my target audience to make sure I can create a feel for each of these in my music video.

Shot selection for my album cover

Here is my second mock up of the poteintial album cover. I refined the colour correction to softer lilacs to create more of a purple/pink haze and toned the album cover title so it was not as obtrusive to appeal to a female target audience in their late teens/early twenties. The album looks much cleaner and much more simple and to the point, what I am aiming for.

Also, through asking a range of people both boys and girls, between 17-19, and the general consensus was that this album cover was much more appealing because the colours are not loud and 'shouting' at you but calm and more grown up, although still portraying the stay young theme that I am aiming for.

Here is my first mock up of a possible album cover,it is named as it capulates the easy going, not taking themselves seriously vibe from the band. The theme is up beat melodic pop punk, aimed at teens both male and female, however this idea of teen romanticism and easy going way of life appeals mostly to the females audience. 

The colours are rich and colourful as to fit with the title 'stay young'. As when you are young we tend to enjoy bright colours rich pictures. The picture is a stereotypical 'perfect' scene of teen love seen in a many teen love films, the final kiss at with the sunset in the background. This is why I chose it as it will appeal to target audience as well as summing up the general  theme of the album of 'teen love songs'.
