The document discusses how the media creator's music video, digipak, and album poster both use and challenge conventions of existing media products. The music video uses stop-motion photography, which challenges the convention that music videos are typically shot with video footage. However, it also employs conventional camera techniques. The album poster includes conventional information but also unconventional elements like a QR code and social media icons that have become expected.

This document analyzes the design elements of an album poster. The main font is blurred and pixelated, representing a digital theme. The secondary font is plain with no alterations, suggesting formality or neutrality. The main image is a low-key lit photo of a passive, desolate woman's face, connoting mellowness and darkness.

An image of samurai armor hints at power but also control and discipline, symbolizing the control of energy and representing something out of place in the modern world.
