Magazine Advert Research

In order to create an advert to appear in a magazine for the Audrianna Cole digipack, the three of us looked into other artists' who had digipacks. Miss Mapp, our teacher, had about 15 copies of front covers for albums and singles and we selected the artist who had a similar criteria to our own, which was Hampshire-based Laura Marling.
In the group, we analysed the front cover for her single "Cross Your Fingers/Crawled Out Of The Sea" and we came up with information such as the fact that she was not on the front cover, and considered whether it was typical of the genre. We decided that it is not, however Laura Marling had decided to do this because this was only an aspect of her work and on her album there is a picture of her, therefore we decided to keep the picture of Audrianna Cole on the front of our front cover. Underneath is a picture of our work.

Track Listing

In the end our group decided that instead we should do actual titles for Audrianna Cole's songs and create a few others. Most of the titles Sean and Amelia created had 2 words.

Track Listing Planning

For our Audrianna Cole digipack, I am considering what we could call her other tracks so we can make a back cover for the digipack with a track listing. I have looked at other artists' song names as they appear on their albums. The albums I have looked at include:

Coldplay - Parachutes (2000); songs such as "Shiver", "Yellow" and "Trouble" may have short, one word titles but has a larger effect than a song title with, for instance, six words, such as "I can't have it my way". 6 of the 10 songs on the album are actually one word titles, and most of them seem effective.

Adele - 21 (2011); songs like "Don't You Remember" and "He Won't Go" have longer titles than some of Coldplay's songs but they are still as effective as them.

Despite Coldplay and Adele having a slightly different feel to our Audrianna Cole song, this research is still useful as I wanted to have a base for the song titles for our digipack and I feel that these songs have effective titles.
