How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Our products are heavily linked throughout eachother, and we wanted to make that as evident as possible during our brainstorming throughout the research section. if we look particularly at our ancillary texts, we can see a lot of influence of both in eachother:

As you can see, our complete product is very similar in appearence and context. they all have quite a dark theme with a twist running throughout. The ancillary texts have white text on black background to keep the consistency from piece to piece. the fact that the ancillary texts are complimentary, I felt it was crucial to include our artists as much as we can on them. Images of them are dotted all over the ancillary texts to make our artists a recognisable face time and time again. The combination of our video and ancillary texts is very successful, as the easy on the eye video is reflected in our ancillary texts as we made sure it was all corectly spaced and aligned, our video is very slick in the way in which we have cut a lot on the beat, so this is also emulated in our ancillary texts. The combination of both products is very experimental. The colour theme is very generic, but the ancillary tasks back up the music video, as the video isn't striking, it is very aesthecial, which is what we wanted to get across, as the beat and lyrics are very soulful, so we have used the a lot of bold techinques in the fonts to encourage a balance between both products to create an equilibrium for our whole product.

  1. This needs more development. Be more specific- e.g.

    "The combination of both products is very experimental" What does this mean?

    "as the video isn't striking, it is very aesthecial," - I would say that focusing on the beauty of the way something looks would make it striking.

    You need to have all 3 products here and you need to pick out particular parts of them, nit just post them up and expect me to know what parts link together!

    Some of the points you make are useful, but just make sure you are not waffling.
