Analysis of an Existing Digipak
In this presentation i have analysed Ellie Goulding's digipak for her album 'Lights'. I have spoken about how it conforms or breaks the typical conventions of a Pp genre digipak and the elements that I would use in my own digipak. This digipak seems to conform to the majority of the conventions and I like the continuity of the theme of the album throughout the digipak as well as the booklet of lyrics inside which seems like an 'added bonus' for buyers.

Equipment
In order to create the products for my coursework efficiently, I must understand the equipment that I will need to use. Therefore after conducting this research, I created a power point of the information which I then also converted into a short video using Windows Live Movie Maker. It will also be helpful to refer to this when preparing for question 1a in the exam.

Magazine Advert Analysis
This is a video analysing Ellie Goulding's magazine advert/poster for her album 'Halcyon'. I have analysed both posters and identified when each would be used.
Analysing this poster has helped me to identify the key conventions and how these can be either conformed to deterred from them. This will help me when constructing my own magazine advert as I will be able to understand the layout and the information that needs to be included as well as how the styling of the poster can create different effects in order to appeal to different audiences.
