Summer 2014: A2 Media blogs

'Maxi Jazz' aka Jake from Faithless' Insomnia.

At A2 you produce a portfolio of productions: a promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options: a website homepage for the band; a digipak for the album’s release; a magazine advertisement for the digipak. So, that's a music video as your main text, plus two 'ancillary texts' linked to this.

This lot achieved a remarkable average coursework mark of 93%! You can see how they did this in my feature-length documentary DVD, IGS Media 2014: Storm Queens, QR Codes and Kittens
