Timeline of annotated lyrics

This is an annotated printout of the Corrine lyrics. Once we had ideas of the locations we wanted in our music video, we began to annotate the lyrics with what locations and shots we will have at each point in the song. This is not a set plan but a rough idea of what we want to include in the video. We treated this as a way to get our ideas flowing before making the storyboard and before we started filming.

Tour dates

Below are Islas tour dates with venues. These were decided upon so that the ticket release would be pre music video release and the tour would be post album release, this is so that the package release would promote excitement within Islas fan base and promote good ticket sale and revenue.

Social media Interactions

social media interactions are important so that an artist can gain support from a fan base and also so that they can share news and communicate with other artists and people from around the world. Below are some of the accounts Isla follows and why social media is important to her. 

1st draft final digipak

This is the final digipak. This is the final digipak we decided on after our first draft was changed according to our feedback. This digipak matches our synergy and incorporates the target artist image we were aiming for. This will appeal to our target audience as it is creative and colorful but still mature.

James Arthur digipak research

This digipack of James Arthur's album, 'Back from the Edge', is very plain with the colours blue and white featuring heavily. 

 

 

 

Ellie Goulding digipak research

llie Goulding's digipack is very unusual because of how simplistic it is. There are only two main colours used, pastel pink and blue, as well as some white text. The photos on the digipack also have the artist wearing the same thing and they have no background. 

 

 

Taylor swift digipak analysis

This digipack is great at making the whole product match and look unified. This is because of the repeated photographs shown in different forms and the photos also all use the same filter.

As well as this, the disc blends in with the background behind it, which is something that we did not see often when doing our research.



 

 

Tour destinations

Due to our large target audience, we decided that we would need to book venues that cater to different age groups. Some places that are known for their indie rock music, but also some small theaters so that younger fans can also attend and enjoy the music.

Music Video Timeline

Here is a variety of music videos throughout time.

Isla Cross media branding

This is how we ensured all of our products looked like one package.

Story board

magazine cover research

To further promote our artist, We looked at how different companies showcased artists on their magazines to focus the consumers attention on the artist. Below are a couple of covers from the Rolling Stones and Billboard magazines, and you can see how they position the picture so that the musician is in front of the title, to make them stand out even more.

Digipak 2nd draft

This is another draft of our digipak which was changed according to more feedback from our peers.

To come up with some more song ideas for our album we created random ideas which we though would match our genre. This was fun because it meant we could get creative.  

6am is our single which we are releasing a music video for. 

Final logo

This is Isla's finished logo. We decided to keep it simple because we thought that a simple logo looked more professional.

creating the logo

First we made the logo in Microsoft PowerPoint. This is because it is easy to use and so we could ensure that we made it efficiently. We did not need any fancy effects because we wanted our logo to be simple and so PowerPoint was a suitable tool to use.

We then used Adobe Photoshop to remove the background from the logo so that we can insert it onto different products.

creating the merchandise

We used the website Cafe Press to create the merchandise for Isla. This website allowed us to upload our own images onto it to make our own merch designs.

This 'print screen' image shows how the website can be used to design our own merchandise.

Isla Merchandise

ere are some examples of the merchandise we have designed for Isla.
We have created T-Shirts, pins, mugs, calendars and phone cases.

keeping organised

we created a table to keep on track to ensure we were all on top of our blog posts and tasks, this helped us communicate as a group ensuring everything was getting done, and we were not going to miss anything essential.
