How my print production conforms to the skiffle genre
1.
2. Panel 1 of the CD case (pictured on
the slide before)
Panel 1 is the strongest example of the
post-modernism within my print

the map in the background. I chose and
edited this old map as it created a vintage
effect particulary due to the faded colours

first panel has been inspired by the current
interior design fashion known commonly as
‘shabby chic’. Shabby chic is a term used
when items are made to look distressed in
order to achieve an antique appearance.

a bricolage of old styles is also noticeable through
the composition and style. Particularly through
inspiration from Lonnie Donegan and Cliff Richards
album and concert work. Many of the old style
Skiffle posters (some featured around the text)
included curved shapes, stars and uneven large
fonts, which I mirrored in my print production thus
conforming to genre conventions. I also used the
convention ‘outlined floating head’ as I had seen it
on various occaisons when looking at posters,
however developed it by including the shoulders of
my faux performer to make him appear more
grounded.

The back panel of my CD case is, again, post-
modernist thus conforming to the hybrid genre of
The Severed Limb. The post-modernism is
prevelant through the use of the old
postcard, similar to the
