Analysing previous student work

Student's in the class of 2013-2014 were also required to make DigiPacks too. I have looked and analysed their digipacks, I must say they are very good. I am hoping mine will be up to their standard. In this blog I will be exploring these students Digipacks and advertisements strengths and weaknesses.

Digipack
 Strengths:

• The synergy is carried out throughout
• Theme of nature through out 
• She is wearing the same lipstick in all images (perhaps a unique selling point)
• Good mise en scene, it all relates- earthy tones and colours
• She also followed the conventions, she added a bar-code and small print 

Weaknesses: 

• I personally dislike the font, I find it looks unprofessional and hard to read

This Digipack got 10/10 

Advertisment

Strengths: 

• I like the use of the guitar in the image, as she plays the guitar in the music video
• The image is simplistic yet effective
• Theme of nature relates

Weaknesses:

• Yet again, I do not like the font

The advertisemt got 8/10

Digipack
Strenghts:

• Colours- dark suits the DJ genre
• In the music video the artist was wearing blue lipstick, colour blue carried throughout Digipack 
• The video is dark, the album cover is also dark 
• Good synergy 
• Simple yet effective colour scheme 

Weaknesses: 

• The student has edited out the artists eyes in 2 of the images, but not for the advertisement, I feel this editing should have been done for all the images

Advertisement 

Strengths:

• Colour scheme- element of yellow is a nice touch 
• Really like the font, suits electro genre

Weaknesses 

• Eyes are not edited

Advertisement 

Strengths:
