- a website homepage for the band
- a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package)
- a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package)

In our groups of three, we have chosen to produce a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package) and a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package)


We have also been asked to consider and mention the type of institution it would sit within, and what TV channels/websites the music video could be distributed on. Its important that we consider the package as a whole.

My group includes myself, Josh Harvey and George Duric-Last, and in order for our package to be successful, we will have to include a large majority of our own research.
