Evaluation post 2 (How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?)


The main product with the ancillary text are linked by colour scheme, they all have the same distinguished orange colour which would also stand out from other existing media product in the same rock genre and which is also easily identifiable by the audience. They all contain the similar texts depicting the identity of the artist/band. By just looking at the ancillary text are also linked by the fact that share images of the shot glass which also makes appearances in the music video, the audience can easily identify with the item which would suggest the theme of alcohol linking in with the theme of the music video.
The ancillary text subverts away from the genre with colours chosen making it unique to the audience. From purely the ancillary text a the band/artist are represented as lovers of alcohol(alcoholics) which may be viewed negatively by some audiences but will also appeal heavily to others. This certainly does fit in with  the genre as excessive alcohol is and aspect of the rock genre/culture depicted by the media.
The type of typography we have chosen to go for is bold which suggest the loud nature of the band and there lyrics, it also links in with the album name Bold and Brave which also link in with this the typography chosen.  The main image represent what the band is mainly about, drinking away the troubles and enjoying life.
