Throughout the planning, evaluating and research of my ancillary task i was constantly referring to two certain digi-packs/cd covers, these of music artists 'Drake' and 'Tinie Tempah' these two artists create very similar music but also very different at the same time, Drake is american and creates rap music with a feel of hip-hop/R&B to it whilst Tinie Tempah also does rap but with a Dance or a techno feel to it, both in his music and his cd cover, his cd cover uses alot of vectors which i have decided to do on my digi-pack, but my digipack is also similar to Drakes which is just an imagine of him with 'Drake, Thank Me later' written on it, mine has 'MC Cabe' and 'Millions Dont Come Easy' written on it so clearly my digipack is similar to both of these.
Another thing that i dont in regards ti research for my ancillary task was watch alot of music videos to get more of an understanding of the conventions of the grime genre, this then helped me with regards to taking photos for the digipack, what types of font to use, what vectors would suit the genre and what types of colours i should use. i dont this by looking online on websites such as www.youtube.com i then posted alot of different videos onto my blog and analysed them by stating what i thought was good or bad about the videos and how i could use some of the ideas that i saw in my video and then relate these ideas back to my digipack.
The internet was a massive help during my research for my ancillary task as i was going onto websites such as www.play.com and typing in artists names and looking at their CD cover which was giving me some ideas for my own. i also looked at other students blogs from other schools and looked at their ideas for their ancillary tasks and compared mine to theirs, this made me change a few things because i wanted to make mine look better than the ones i had seen.
This post needs to be visual. You havent mentioned using Photoshop! You could really develop this post regarding how you used this technology! JIN
