Feedback on ancillary so far

So far I am nearly complete with my ancillary mission and it has been such a daunting task considering my difficulties with the software Photoshop. But I feel as though I have gotten the hand of it quite well.

I went around asking people about it so far and I'm really impressed with the level of feedback I've received. For instance many have told me they see the resemblance between my product and the artists that have inspired my work, that being Krept x Konan. It is clear to see that I have managed to link their "The long way home" and my own "Iconic" simultaneously. This has been able to show through because of the significance of imagery and mise-en-scene.

As I loved the concept of the sky background from their album, I wanted to portray that by also using the skyline. What I'm pleased to say I have managed to achieve is the cartoon like image of it all. Through the use of trying out different filters and it looks pretty good.

Another aspect that the audience admired was the use of the theme of colour, I tried to captivatethe same   colours of something similar to that of "The long way home", which on turned created the theme of journey and hard times, the sky especially playing a key role in that.

Another aspect was the body language and position of the artists. Kwabz x Kapone were in a similar position as Krept x Konan, that being the sides of the digipak and website. However, the way in which I have made it different is because of the use of syngery, in this case , it was the prayer hands that was used. It has been used throughout the ancillary and music video. Likewise with the name of the album, it was coloured res just has how "The long way home is in red" once again showing the blood, sweat and tears they have gone through to get to where they are now.

What I need to improve on is finishing off my website and adding in all the necessary links such as social media links . Likewise with my digipak, there is one thing I need to sort out and that is  my CD, there's apart of it in the middle where its white, I need to edit it in a way in which instead of that white part, it will be replaced by the background, so that it doesn't look like its just floating in the middle of nowhere
