Ancillary Texts

Kodaline Album Cover
All three of these album covers have similarities that tie them together with Kodaline's Website. Their newer album covers all have 'KODALINE' in the centre, with the name of the album or single underneath it in smaller capital letters. Whereas their older album covers have 'KODALINE' written either in the bottom corner or near the middle of the cover. This shows how their image is progressed as  time has gone on and as they have become more well-known. Each album cover has the background of a quite iconic looking picture, often edited with filters to make the image look better and more out of the ordinary.

 

The website follows a similar theme:

http://www.kodaline.com/home/

All the writing on Kodalines website is written in the same font as the album covers, and on the home page, each link to another page is one of their albums covers. There is also information on tours, music videos, lyrics and a way of purchasing the music. This means they are marketing themselves as well as informing their fans. Their ancillary products work well together and help build a strong image for the band. The music also suits the ancillary texts quite well as the images on the album work with the genre of music. I like the idea of a continuated theme or font running throughout the ancillary texts and music video and would like to use that idea in my own project.
