Ancillary Text Ideas

As I have already established, I am doing a music video as my production idea and therefore I think the most suitable ancillary text for me to use would be a poster and then I will also make a website as we have to provide two different ancillary texts. I feel that producing a poster is the most relevant form of ancillary text because if you are to look at how artists sell their music, (not as much now) they would use physical copies of their music in the form of CDs. One of the main reasons why people were attracted to CDs was because of the album art that is presented on the front of it. Some artists would use similar pictures from the album art to make posters and vice versa. This meant that they were giving themselves a public image and it also meant that they were advertising their music in such a way that it was able to catch the eye of consumers. Some consumers even collect the posters and album art as it is seen as a form of collective memorabilia to them. Below is an example of the album art and a poster of the artist who produced the song that I will be using in my final production.
