Our group decided to create a t-shirt and hat product for the merchandise of our band, we decided this because these products are the most common clothing for a boy band.

This is an idea of how our name would look if we had it printed onto t-shirts. We would have the font of our logo on the shirt for the real version. A way to progress this piece of advertisement would be to do different images on the shirts. For example, we could have a band image on the front. Or have individual band members on the front.

Other forms of advertisement could include posters, with similar styles that are on the the t-shirts. We could aslo look at doing stationary for those teens who are still in school. Bags would also be a good form of advertisement. These are all good for our target audience because these are all things that teenagers have at that age.

Jay-Z & Linkin Park Digipak Analysis

Digipak Lesson

A digipak is a CD which has a cardboard cover with artwork from the artist photoshoot/music video promotion.

The codes and conventions are that the artist would relate to the music video and their image from the style/make of the digipak. The track list on the back of the case, the record label, the barcode, the artists name and album title on the spine of the album, DVD logo for the music video.

A record label would release a digipak rather than a CD jewel case because it is cheaper to produce, it is good to use for promotional copies.

The consumer would prefer to that the album was a digipak because it is smaller and lighter than a CD jewel case and also that it would not break as easily.

Music Video Brief

This is the brief that we are using for our boy band called 'Boyz 4 Now'. The ambition of the band is to try and become the next generation of boy bands that can exceed in 'Take That' and 'Westlife's' footsteps.
