During this unit I produced 3 graphic design products. These are a Poster, Digipack CD artwork and 4 pages of a Programme. I based all three of these products on the band Chase and Status in association with their next tour. I thought that the quality of all three products was that of a high standard, I put allot of thought into the design stage and allot of detail and effort in the editing stage.
The three products I created have a high fitness for purpose, which is to advertise the band and their up-coming tour. I achieved a high fitness for purpose by making the products bright to catch the audience’s eye and to follow other poster conventions to advertise the events.
As it stands, the products appeal to the target audience. In order to make it more appealing to the target audience the poster must be put up in necessary places such as outside nightclubs.
Compared to this Chase and Status poster I believe mine is better. This is because mine is much more edited and very colorful which I believe is important due to the genre of music. I also believe that my poster portrays how the event will look more on the night encouraging more people to go.

The Digipak CD Cover I created was made using photoshop. I made this CD Cover following current methods used by Chase and Status such as the yellow font color and font. I brightened the front CD Cover up by adding Lense Flares in each corner along with the picture of a rave including strobe lights and people. I put a picture of Earth in the middle of theif album adding to the punn 'On Top Of The World'.
The CD Cover is aimed at the target audience of teens and young adults, who are interested in this genre of music. The genre of music is portrayed by the image of the rave behind Earth.

I finally created 4 pages of a Programme which would be sold at their live tour. These pages are Front, Upcoming gigs, Previous gigs and Alexandra palace special. The Programme has been edited fully throughout making it look more bright and catch the eye of the target audience. I could not find examples of any previous Chase and Status Programmes on the internet so i made one based on how i would imagine it to look.
