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

I believe that the combination of my main products and ancillary texts is effective as they all have similar features to tie them in together, and yet are all unique in their own ways. To begin with they all have the same actor as the artist which will allow the audience to build up a relationship with the artist and make it so they recognise him. In addition to this the digipak and magazine advert  both feature a microphone on them and have the same two fonts on which builds a sense of continuity between the products and also gives the artist and the song track "Subcultures" their own ability to be instantly recognisable. Also the digipak and magazine advert follow a colour sceme of black and white.

In comparison to my products here is the same products made for the UK hip-hop artist Dirty Dike, along with a print screen from his music video, from these you can see how they are similar to my own products:











From these you can see that they kept the same image for both the album cover and the poster, I decided to do the same as it gives the products a sense of continuity and makes them instantly recognisable to each other. Also from the digipak you can see how he is in a usual day to day setting which is the same as my final video as I decided to follow this convention of UK hip-hop videos. Basically there is blatent similarities between the poster and CD cover such as images, colour scheme and font types - which the same can be said for with my products.
