Changes to plan:
after discussing the length of the song, both me and my partner felt the song was too long, there for we have decided to remove a verse and chorus to bring the length of the song down to a more manageable time

Magazine advert analysis:
This advertisement is for the release of Green Days album "American Idiot"
It is a very simple layout, using only three bold colours (black, white and red) which allows the image to stand out to the reader.
The main images is that of a hand holding a grenade, representing anger, violence or war. This connation is added to further with the grenade being coloured red - adding to the sense of anger.
However, the colour red respresents the image in another way. as the grenade has been created to resemble a love heart shape, the colour red coloud also symbolise love and passion, possibly for someone or a place, maybe America as the text is also shown as red.
The Advert shows both the Bands and Albums name on the image, the bands name being represented as more important, as the font size is bigger and white, against a white background, allowing it to be the first thing a reader would notice on the advertisement.
The advert also shows the record label responsible for the productuon and distribution of the album, in a small size at the bottom left hand corner of the page - as the reader may not care for which label the band came from, and they still get their share of the money made on the album through the advertisement.

Codes and Coventions of digipacks:
Artist's name and title of the album often displayed together at the top and the
band's sometimes appear on their album covers
Central main image - usually the band or a band logo (or something which relates to the album content)
Colour scheme to reflect the mood and content of the album, as well as the band's own iconography - most likely darker colours like red or black for more heavy rock bands for instance.
The spine of the Digipak will have the artist name and album title on it as well as the institution's logo on the front cover or back cover and/or on the album spine
Front cover is conventionally a part of the booklet within the CD case - plastic. However, due to the material used in prodcution, the main image is printed onto the digipack.
Feature CD placed on the right, left or middle panel of the package, with possibly bonus content such as an extra CD or a DVD
The back will have an image on it, also, with the artist or the artist's logo usually serving the space were the image goes. This would be next to the track listing
Digipak's are often made out of cardboard
The track listing is clear, and conventionally found on the back of the package.
The CD is simplistic, possibly only showing the artists or album name.
Stickers can sometimes be seen on album covers, and is the case with Digipaks, which are protected by a thin layer of plastic packaging. The stickers usually have album ratings from professional reviewers and/or a short list of singles featured on the album, and any bonus content that would be on it.
