Shwayze and Cisco Advert

 This is the cover for the album 'island in the sun'. I like the idea of this because it's done in cartoon, something we want to incorporate into our video. The CD cover isn't what you would expect from the typical cover as most use a photo of the artist or a photo of something to do with the album title. This cover does this, as the album is called 'island in the sun' and we can see what we would expect from a typical island, the sun, palm trees, blue waters and the beach. However we would typically expect a photo of this on the cover with maybe the artist on the island, here they've made it cartoon. 

The magazine advert is a relatively simple advert, it just tells you what the album is and that it's out now and where you can get it from. The image used in the advert is different to the one on the album cover, but would be instantly recognisable with the other. They use subtle things in the picture to promote themselves, in the bottom right corner you can see Cisco's name.

Both the CD cover and Advert aren't conventional and this is shown through there music. The duo together bring there own style of music and mix together to create a good blend. And the title of the album fits the music perfectly, and when I listen to the album it makes me picture the things in the cover and advert, like the sun and the soft water being calm from the soft folk rock that Cisco brings and then the waves and the more excitement from the rap of Shwayze.
