The document outlines steps taken to design auxiliary materials for a rock band. It examines photos of band constructions and DVD/album covers of other rock bands to determine key elements. These elements include similar costumes to the music video, dull lighting to reflect the serious genre of music, and matching themes throughout the CD and packaging materials. The goal is to create professional-looking materials that represent the morose sense of the song while drawing inspiration from other rock band designs.
2. Step one
• The first thing I did to be able to construct my
auxiliary was looking at photos of different
bands, how are they constructed and what is
the main element which sustain in all of them.
3.
4. Conclusions
• As with the music video the costume is really
important when we have to take pictures for the
DVD cover and magazine advertisement.
Therefore I am going to dress the guys similarly as
in the music video (shirts, t-shirts, leather jacket,
jeans)
• Lighting also plays important role – it is usually
dull which reflects on the serious genre of the
music. Therefore, through editing and lighting I
am going to create the same effect for my tasks.
5. Step Two
• Afterwards I researched different DVD covers
of albums belonging to different rock bands.
• My base was Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay. I have
the CD so I carefully looked at how is it
constructed and what would I have to do to
create my product.
8. 7.Names of the members
of the band, names of
producers, name of
Publishing house etc...
8. The names of the songs
in the album
9. Conclusions
• The same colourful graffiti theme is running
throughout the CD and the DG pack as a
whole. Therefore I have to make my product
work together and everything to match in
order for it to look professional.
• Contrastingly to this product, which is too
bright and colourful I want mine to be a bit
more dull in order to represent the morose
sense of the song.
10. I also looked at a website called www.amazingmagazine.com to further
research CD covers of different rock albums. Here I have shown few of
them. Even though they are not quite the style I am aiming for they are
helpful in terms of creative decisions .
