The document discusses and analyzes three promotional products - a music video, magazine advertisement, and digital package - created for an artist. It examines the influences and goals for each product. The music video was meant to showcase the artist's persona and gain more fans by drawing on rap conventions. The magazine ad effectively promotes the digital package while reflecting the music video. Unlike the other products, the digital package focuses solely on the artist to portray their personality and gratitude for fans. Overall, the document argues that the combination of the three products effectively creates a coherent image and promotional package for the artist that will appeal to their target hip-hop, street, and rap audience.

3. Our Main Product
The idea of our main product was to
showcase our artist star persona in order
create a larger fan base. We wanted to pay
homage to the Hip-hop/Rap conventions but
at the same time add our own flavour and so
we researched similar style artist.
Influences:

in Vertigo.
4. The Magazine advert was designed on
Photoshop in order to sell the Digipak we
created and so the two are combined effectively
to reflect our Music Video. The picture from the
magazine advert is very similar to the music
video because the shot was taken at the same
location as the music video but it also stands
alone effectively as it does not appear in the
music video. I think the magazine reaches our
audience expectations as it keeps to our genre
as well as bringing something new. We have not
created anything controversial and so our
audience would think highly of this product.
Our only influence for our magazine advert was
the artist Macklemore's Video- The Town. In
this Video there is a scene where he has a
skyline with the sun is setting behind him. This
is similar to scenes throughout video.
5. Unlike our other products;
Magazine Advert and Music
Video, We have not been
influenced by any other
artists as we wanted the
digipak to be focused on the
artist. I think this would be
something the audience
would not be expecting
however, in a positive way.
The digipak portrays some conventional elements of Hip-Hop/Rap however,
you can not pre judge this product as we composed it to focus all on the artist.
The main theme of the digipak is simple, it only consists of four main colour;
pink blue grey and brown. Because our other products sold our artist star
persona and talents, our idea was to sell our artist personality in the digipak
and so we thought it was necessary to use simple colours and include a
personal message from the artist to his fans. In the music video three other
people were present whereas, in this digital package it is mainly our artist in
every image but one. I think this would exceed our audience expectations as it
would not be what they would expect as it is more intimate than usual.
6. To Conclude, I believe our three products are professionally
composed in an effective way to create an image for our artist. This
image is that he is a Hip-Hop/Rap artist with an urban/street
fashionable style. He also has an image of talented as he can
breakdance and perform hat tricks. We have created an effective
promotional package as each product plays on our artists persona in
a different way. The magazine advert and music video consist of a
lot of typical conventions for our Hip-hop/Rap genre, On the other
hand, our digipak shows that our artist is also down to earth even
with his success and is grateful for his fans. Overall, we have
created an amazing synergy that attracts our Hip-hop, street and
Rap audience in a way they can relate and aspire to.
