Synergy between CD covers and Magazine adverts

The CD cover and magazine advert are closely linked together as they both represent the artist/band and allow the media companies to promote that particular single/album. It is important that both the CD cover and Advert both consist of the same text,pictures,colours and layout etc in order for audiences to recognise that this single/album is from the same artist(s).
The magazine advert should also include a release date which informs audiences when the can buy their product. The CD cover won't include this as it isn't necessary.
Both the CD cover and Magazine advert should be consistent throughout, including the band members or the same image, band name which is also the brand name as it is what sells the products and also the same colours and fonts.

Album Cover

Magazine Advert

Synergy is shown between this CD cover and Magazine advert.

We have taken inspiration from CD covers and Magazine adverts as we have used the same colour schemes, images and font in both therefore creating synergy.

Today our prop has arrived for filming, (hair chalk) me and zac have tested it out and are really excited to start colouring megans hair in:D although i don't think megan is quite as excited:(
Hopefully tomorrow we can start filming and everything goes to plan!
