Details

This presentation contains an Album Cover: FRONT AND BACK, a Single Cover and finally a magazine advert of the album.

All editing and photography I had produced by myself using my Nikon D3000 camera and Macromedia Fireworks Software (editing). My music theme is pop and the appearance of all my designs are unique and creative, as I wanting my work to stand out in a positive way.

Magazine Advert:

Magazine Advert- AnalysisFor the image of my magazine advert I wanted to give a ‘house

wife’ look dated around the 1980’s , I thought this look was unique and I knew I could develop it in many ways. To help the effect I used colour consistency with the hair curlers and the outfit which were both yellow and then bright pink nails matching the pink banner along the bottom of the advert and also the stage name, Alia Stone and then finally the colour green around the ‘out now’ font consisted with the green curlers in the models hair and also the preview of the album cover in the bottom left of the advert. The background of the main image was brown however the spotlight I used developed the wall colour to a pink tint, this is a very light colour that didn’t stand out which helped all the other features on the advert to stay in centre of attention.

Album Cover: FRONT

Album Cover: FRONT- Analysis

The theme of the album cover is, pop art, it was created on Macromedia Fireworks. I think the front cover works well as it is quite plain with the white background, however the image is very bright and effective which makes the appearance look so good. The effect makes the image look more like a drawing rather than a photo.

Album Cover: BACK

Album Cover: BACK- Analysis

The back of the album cover shows a more natural emotion expressing laughter and joy, which reflects the contents of the CD to be positive, which would encourage bigger audience to buy the album.

Single Cover

Single Cover- AnalysisThe front of the Single Cover is completely different to the

Album cover and the magazine advert. Throughout my research I discovered that many pop artists use a completely different theme for the image they will use on there single. The image I used shows slight sadness and a story, which reflects the lyrics of the song I will use for the music video ‘picking up the pieces’ the effects I used on the image were mainly writing the song title on the mirror using lipstick, I thought the idea was unique and also the use of mirrors was very different. The scenery of the image tells a story, which would encourage people to buy the single to discover the meaning behind the image.
