1. Preliminary Task
o Task- To create a hiphop posterforJeanRalphioandTommyFresh…
o Task- to create a rock CD coverfor Mouse Rat
To insure I met the requirements of the
‘hip-pop’ brief I completed a shoot with
two male models posed in a hip-pop
theme. I used the stereo to set the
atmosphere for the shoot and insure
that the audience for the magazine knew
the genre for the magazine. I
experimented with colour and black vs
white to create a sense that the models
are the main focus of the poster. I
wanted the text to be bold hence why
the font is in white and in capitals. I
additionally added a graffiti image onto
the wall to help create a sense of hip
pop. To finalise the image I added the
production logo on the bottom left hand
corner.
Within this image I attempted to create a
CD cover (front and back) that conforms
to the genre of rock. The main element
within this image is the fact that it is black
and white. I believe this works well and
will help to attract a certain audience to
the CD. Because the genre for the CD
cover is rock, I therefore used dark
lightingand concepts. Moreover shown in
the text size, font and colour within the
image. I posed the model holding a bat
suggesting more of an edgy feel and thus
insuring the appropriate audience is
attracted.
