Product Overview:

Who are they?

De ’La Cruz is American rapper who started from performing on street corners with his friends he used to record at his local studio. One day the studio director witnessed his raw talent and decided to sign him on to his own record label it wasn’t big but he started of doing supporting acts. This then enabled him to expand his reputation and name. When performing in front of large audiences it enabled people to know what his music was about and he then developed his own fan base. De ‘La Cruz then created his first album and went on tour. His latest album was his biggest success and the song ‘Battle scars’ has already received a lot of positive criticism and the media hype for a music video is underway.

The Album concept:

What is it?

We created an album cover best represents the artist star image in order to pull in a variety of different audiences. We want to create something that will appeal to our audience and also that will reflect the genre we are making the music video for. I am planning on using effective images of my artist because this will then promote the artist star image enabling them to appeal and encourage people to watch it. We are creating this album as we hope to one day boost (artist name) star image: this in turn will boost our chances of having a music video on the top 10 charts.

What are we doing it?

De ‘La Cruz’s debut album will have to bring success. The art work on the album cover will be crucial in our success. The consumers should be able to understand the values and ideologies as well as the themes the artist is trying to portray. The pictures, fonts and backgrounds will allow us to communicate visually to our audience. The theme of the album cover will allow the consumer to understand it’s in the R’n’B genre, without even having to listen to the music.

 

What is the reaction we want?

We want the audience and the consumers to feel like they can understand the artist. The target audience should be able to build and develop a relationship that is different from other artists.

How will we know it worked?

We will know if our album was successful from the sale targets. We will compare these alongside our sales figures to enable us to see if our targets where hit. If this is met or higher than the target, we will know it was a success. Following on, we will be hosting a focus group to allow fans and consumers to look at our first drafts and give us there feedback. From there criticism we will know ways in which we can improve.
