HMV Signing
Below are images from the HMV signing which was Wednesday 11th January.
This was one of our events which we had on our tour poster and website. A HMV signing promotes our artist through the way her fans will upload pictures and share her image with other people. This will attract people who are walking past HMV as well, as people will wonder what is going on. This is also a good way for our artists fans to get to know her on a more personal level.

Magazine Front cover trials
First Draft
To create this magazine cover we used Photoshop to cut out the background of the image and the words 'billboard'. We decided to have our magazine cover as a plain background as after researching other magazines we found that having a block colour was a common theme. We added a barcode and date as this was also a common
Reflection:
After listening to feedback from our peers we have decided to improve our article. They said that our star looks squashed and is also looks like she is hovering so they suggested that we keep the original background. We did further research and decided that it would look better if our text was a more professional font. Also the Billboard title wasn't striking enough so we looked at the most popular billboard covers and they had coloured letter.
Second Draft
To create this magazine article we followed several templates of past Billboard magazine articles. We used the background we already had but added different effects to it to make it more visually pleasing. We added the style of date that one of the magazines had as well as the bar code and the price. We cut around Stellato so that she was in front of the Billboard title as this was common in the magazines we looked at. We wanted to make our headlines catchy and humourous so came out with some puns.
Reflection:
Our teacher gave us feedback on our magazine cover and suggested that we make all the text the same font as it looks more professional. She also didn't like that the writing was over the star as it takes away from her star presence. She also found it hard to read some of the writing as it blended in with the background. Finally, she thought that the stamp needed to be bigger and make more of an impact.

Final Digipak
Below is our final digipak:
Our digipak is successful as it has synergy with the website and music video. The synergy amongst them all, is the theme of light and red, which within the digipak is seen in all the six images which are used.
The first image: We have chosen to use this image within our digipak as it includes a popular location within our music video: the mirror maze. The mirror maze really captured the idea of the artist going insane as it created the footage where the artist was seen in all different directions, and in different points of view. The image is a screenshot from our music video of when the artist is singing into the mirror within Ripley's mirror maze. We wanted to include this snapshot as Ripley's was one of our most successful locations within the music video, as it really conducted the idea of light which is part of our synergy. We have also chosen to use this image as it is heavily edited on photoshop to enhance the colour red within the shot, this means the image follows the red synergy idea which we want to be in our music video, digipak and website. The image also represents what the lyrics are communicating within the song Hypnotic, as the artist is watching herself go crazy and lose control - and the image shows the artist looking at herself in the mirror, watching herself go crazy. The image is also part of the three strong images which are overpowered with red.
The second image: We have chosen to use this image within our digipak as it includes the synergy of light which we wanted to compose throughout our music video, digipak and website. Fireworks also follow the lyrics and what we wanted to conduct the artist to be - crazy (fireworks bang, and go crazy). We have also chosen to use this image as it is heavily edited on photoshop to enhance the colour red within the shot, this means the image follows the red synergy idea which we want to be in our music video, digipak and website. We have chosen to used this image as well, as all the other images have the artist in, so we wanted to have an image which didn't have the artist in - and fireworks play a strong part in our music video. The fireworks, the way they have been edited onto the CD and background, looks like a gradient/ombre of colour - which is visually appealing to the audience.
The third image:
The image is a screenshot from our music video of when the artist is within the mirror maze in Ripley's. We wanted to include this snapshot as Ripley's was one of our most successful locations within the music video, as it really conducted the idea of light which is part of our synergy. We have also chosen to use this image as it is heavily edited on photoshop to enhance the colour red within the shot, this means the image follows the red synergy idea which we want to be in our music video, digipak and website. The image is also part of the three strong images which are overpowered with red.
The fourth image: We have chosen to use this image within our digipak as it includes the theme that we wanted to pursue within our music video - insanity, due to the edit of the artist being double. We have edited this onto a collage of the wall in Ripley's which has paint splats on - as this is a common background on our website. This image also follows the same themes within the other pictures - light (through the uv paint splats on the wall) and red (red paint splats on the wall).
The fifth image:
The image is a screenshot from our music video of when the artist is within the mirror maze in Ripleys. We wanted to include this snapshot as Ripley's was one of our most successful locations within the music video, as it really conducted the idea of light which is part of our synergy. We have also chosen to use this image as it is heavily edited on photoshop to enhance the colour red within the shot, this means the image follows the red synergy idea which we want to be in our music video, digipak and website. The image is also part of the three strong images which are overpowered with red. We also have chosen to use this image within our digipak as it includes the theme that we wanted to pursue within our music video - insanity, due to the edit of the artist being double. However, before we used this image, we had the image of fireworks as the background - but due to the text being hard to read, we placed this picture behind the text as the white text complimented the red.
The sixth image:
We have chosen to use this image within our digipak as it includes the synergy of light which we wanted to compose throughout our music video, digipak and website. We wanted to include this picture as well due to Ripley's being one of our most successful locations within the music video, as it really conducted the idea of light which is part of our synergy. The image also represents what the lyrics are communicating within the song Hypnotic, as the artist is in multiple mirrors - showing the artist going crazy and losing herself as she's seeing multiple. The pictures has also been edited on photoshop to enhance the red lights, as red is a strong synergy point within our music video, digipak and website. Due to it including red, it matches all the other images - meaning they have a strong colour scheme and all match.
From producing a digipak, it means we are following what a real artist would have to do when releasing a new album. I feel the digipak is extremely successful as it follows our synergy of light and the colour red - which is seen throughout our music video and website. This means that the digipak will link successfully with our other media products. This digipak is more successful than our other digipak trials, due to how our other digipak's didn't have a clear colour scheme - our last having the colour scheme of burgundy/purple/red and our first digipak following the theme of nature, red and flowers. The digipak also emphasises more than our other digipak the theme of insanity through how the images have been photoshoped and overlaid - which we pursue the idea of within our music video through editing and camera angles/shots.

Magazine Article
Below is our magazine article from Cosmopolitan magazine.
We took inspiration from a magazine article from Cosmopolitan about Miley Cyrus shown below:
Below we annotated the key features of the Cosmopolitan article that we wanted to feature in ours. By doing this it allowed us to make sure that we didn't miss out any key pieces of information and so that our article was as professional as possible. We used a different colour scheme to Miley's as we thought that the pink/purple theme was too girly for our artist therefore went with the striking red that is featured throughout our media products and also a blue that has a gradient.
