Tour Destinations

Due to our large target audience, we decided that we would need to book venues that cater to different age groups. Some places that are known for their indie rock music, but also some small theaters so that younger fans can also attend and enjoy the music.

Interview Question Ideas

Here are some questions which could be answered by Isla in an interview to allow fans to get to know her as an artist better

To come up with some more song ideas for our album we created random ideas which we though would match our genre. this was fun because it meant we could get creative. 
6am is our single which we are releasing a music video for. 

Photoshoot

Throughout filming, we also took photos to go with our website and digipak, and to also promote Isla as an established artist. 
I particularly liked the photo taken by the brick wall with Lorna (Isla) facing the camera.The focus is on her face and this is a very simple but effective photo. I also like the photo with Lorna (Isla) standing in the background with the photograph being taken through a stick which is in focus. This is a very different and interesting photo that shows the creative character that we think Isla would have.

Merchandise Reflection

Products: We decided to make products that we thought would be the most popular. To decide this we did a survey to uncover which merchandise products people most like to buy. Once we had this data, we began to design the merchandise.

Design: We decided that we should have a balance of designs- some with the logo, some with a photograph and some with the rose image (for synergy).
We did this so that people can easily associate the merchandise with Isla, but also so that the merchandise is associated with this album specifically.

Magazine Cover Research

To further promote our artist, We looked at how different companies showcased artists on their magazines to focus the consumer's attention on the artist. Below are a couple of covers from the Rolling Stones and Billboard magazines, and you can see how they position the picture so that the musician is in front of the title, to make them stand out even more. Any text on the cover is also positioned around the outside and away from the centre. This does not allow the attention to be drawn away from the artist too much. The text, also, is not always all the same colour. The font colour sometimes changes on the same magazine cover.
