Our CD cover and Poster Finished Idea
Here is the final copy of our advertisement poster, we found it necessary to add the name of the single on the poster so that we can give the audience a chance to view the music video before buying the album as we found in our research that videos can influence whether or not our target audience purchases the album. The back to back images of the artist is to link with the music video about pretending to live two septate lives or wanting of the other, you can see the artist is a lot happier in the image where she is dressed in vintage clothes, this is the era or 'person' that she wants to be.There is also out finished album cover we have used this picture as we think it captures the innocence of the artist and also with her eyes clothes it shows that she is in a dream like state is the image you see in front of you reality or fantasy. The purple flower brings back the issue of innocence, we had done this to match the look of the vintage dress so that we can establish the character.
The collective images on the digipack are a play on the images of Anne Taintor as a group we had decided to get the message across of how much women have change from the 1950's to modern day . Taking her images with quotes underneath like 'it must be 5oclock somewhere' we have repeated that image but changed it slightly for modern day and wrote' who care its not 5oclock'
