(The quality is vital to give a professional finish!)

Above is my final music video, I have clearly made some amendments to shot types which I will discuss further in depth in my evaluation questions. I am very pleased with the final outcome of my video and believe it goes alongside my ancillary texts in harmony to create a vivid brand for my artist.

Final Album Advert

Final: Album Advert

This is my final advert for my album. As is clearly evident, I have added a coral pink banner and changed the colour of the text 'Ghosts' to match that of the background. I thought this stood out more and what I had previously seen in my research as the bottom third being more solidified in terms of colour. I decided to change the image from my inner digipak image to what appears on the front cover of my digipak. I did this because then it will be easily recognisable if seen both by my target audience and can relate this to my Digipak immediately if it were display within a store. I added a thicker drop shadow to the main title 'Lexi and the Spectrum' just to make it more bold. 

Overall, I am really happy with the final outcome and feel it would really appeal to my young target market.

Here is my final Digipak design. I am really pleased with the way it has turned out and think it really correlates well with the inspiration for my artist. I think the 50s inspiration really reflects well better in the sketches.

Here is my final question presented on platform Prezi to show the visual differences along with the progress of draft versions of my music video and ancillary products to their final outcomes. I found Prezi was the best form of presenting this continuous progress I had gone through during all my products.
