Overview of artist’s costume
My artist's costume will be simple, following conventions of the indie genre. He will wear a plain black, white, or grey top in medium or close-up shots.

1) Kanye West's "Eyes Closed" album cover features a close-up picture of Kanye with his eyes closed, signifying the album title despite the cover not obviously indicating the rap/hip-hop genre.
2) ACDC's "Let There Be Rock" album cover depicts people playing rock instruments to a crowd, clearly indicating the hard rock genre, with religious imagery bringing back rock.
3) Katherine Jenkins' "Sweetest Love" classical album cover features Jenkins in a formal dress, with the title also suggesting the classical genre, though the cover does not obviously indicate the genre.
Digipak Research
The document analyzes two contrasting digipaks - an acoustic album by Jack Johnson and a punk album by Alkaline Trio. It discusses design elements common to each genre, including imagery, fonts, and use of intertextuality to establish artist identity. Key conventions highlighted include simplicity and nature imagery for acoustic albums, and recognizable logos and darker colors for punk albums.
Cd Montage
Media studies. This is a presentation on some of my favourate CD covers and exsplanations of artist/genre/music and target audience.
In what ways does my media product represent particular social groups?
The document analyzes how images in a music magazine represent different social groups. Photos of younger musicians show them actively playing music, representing them as lively and passionate. Their casual clothing in blue represents youth and devotion to music. Photos of an older, more successful musician are darker and more closed off, representing mystery and wealth. Descriptions of the musicians' clothing, poses, and instruments portray them as typically masculine and fitting rock music stereotypes. The language used also represents the artists as rebellious but caring, innovative but secretive. Overall the images and language represent male musicians of different generations in a way that characterizes the rock music genre.
Michael jackson digipak analysis
The document discusses a new Michael Jackson DVD collection titled "Michael Jackson's Vision". It contains 3 DVDs in a deluxe digipak package with a 60-page booklet and lenticular cover. The collection includes 42 of Michael Jackson's music videos, 10 which have not previously been available on DVD and 1 that has never been seen before. It provides fans with Jackson's entire solo music video collection in one package.
Kanye West 'Yeezus' music magazine advert analysis.
Kanye West released his sixth studio album "Yeezus" in 2013. The album advertisement featured just a plain clear CD case with the word "Yeezus" written in red tape on it. This minimalist design broke conventions of typical rap album advertisements which feature flashy imagery. The plain design was a bold statement that Kanye's fame and artistic vision were enough to sell the album without extra promotion. It also conveyed messages that the album would be controversial and break expectations. While breaking some conventions, the ad still included elements like the album title and release date to clearly market it.
Digipak research
The document summarizes three digipaks from the R&B genre based on their cover designs. It discusses Kayne West's "Graduation" album, which features illustrations of a bear representing the artist flying away from university. It uses bright colors consistent with house music. Childish Gambino's "Because the Internet" uses light pastel colors and a hologram/GIF of the artist to portray the internet as a paradise. Finally, it analyzes Drake's "Take Care", which prominently features a close-up image of the artist in black and gold colors to portray him as classic and timeless. All three covers effectively represent the artists' styles and themes within the conventions of their genres.
Album artwork
Willie Dixon's 1970 blues album "I Am the Blues" features a black and white portrait of Dixon sitting and clapping on a creased backdrop. The earthy tones and Dixon's relaxed pose aim to portray his down-to-earth personality and appeal to mature blues fans. The rounded font for the title reflects the playful side of Dixon's blues sound.
Album arts analysed examples
This document analyzes and summarizes several album covers:
1. It discusses how one cover prominently features the artist's image over the text to emphasize that seeing her is more important than the name. The minimal outfit suggests a more personal album.
2. Another cover uses a family car in a neighborhood to represent the artist's personal background and upbringing.
3. One cover challenges conventions by not including the artist's picture, representing that the artist values music over image.
It then summarizes that while album covers generally include the artist and album name, they differ in fonts, genres, and conveyed values or messages about the artist.
Adele 21
Adele's second studio album 21 explores themes of heartbreak through soul music. Released in 2011, the album topped charts in over 30 countries and had three worldwide number-one singles. The album packaging uses monochrome colors and close-up images of Adele's expressive face to represent the soul genre and emotions conveyed through the music. While mainly sticking to soul conventions, hints of brighter pop influences are shown through a green color on the CD to draw attention. These conventions are consistently represented across the vinyl, CD, and digital packaging.
Ancillary Products
The document discusses options for ancillary products to promote a new music video, including a website, digipak, and magazine advertisement. The author chooses to design the digipak and magazine ad, as they enjoy photography and art. Examples of digipaks and ads are analyzed from the acoustic/indie pop genre. Photos taken of the artist in a woodland setting are presented for audience feedback to select images for the promotional products.
Digipak Analysis
The document provides examples and analyses of different album packaging designs, known as digipaks. It examines digipaks for albums by My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day. For each album, it describes the design elements, including font, imagery, and how they relate to the band's image and themes in their music and music videos. Concepts like rebellion, death, and war are conveyed through the album art and help market the bands' personas and songs. Digipaks are meant to entice audiences by offering a unique, limited-edition package compared to just a digital download.
Album Cover Analysis
The album cover for Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday' prominently features the color pink to portray her as a strong female rapper in a male-dominated genre. The pink theme also conveys "Barbie girl" connotations that Nicki embraces in her music and persona. This is supported by her doll-like presentation on the cover.
Paolo Nutini's album cover for 'Sunny Side Up' uses an illustrated image of the artist to portray the album's cheerful disposition and convey it as a piece of art. The relaxed scene of Paolo eating eggs and the acoustic guitar and colorful landscape emphasize a chilled tone.
Eliza Doolittle's self-titled debut

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Favourite album art of all time
- 1. Source: www.boston.com FAVOURITE ALBUM ART OF ALL TIME … as voted on by the global music magazine readers
- 2. Most comments on this entry, agreed that the cover images gave them an idea and a visual link to the style and fast upbeat music that Nick Lowe produced.
- 3. Neil Young’s debut album was widely bought because customers saw the cover as a work of art. In other words, not only where listeners getting good tracks but also a piece of Van Gogh style art.
- 4. This is a typical Grace Jones album cover. Not only is she strong and proud of the way she looks. She is sexualised by appealing to the yoga fantasies. A comment can also be made on the statuesque pose.
- 5. Album art like this is always praised at it has the ability to tell a story in a single snapshot. This particular shot goes hand in hand with the main track and is a visual manifestation of it.
- 6. Here, we see direct mode of address, in which his glossed over eyes tell us that Cohen’s music will be emotional and personal.
- 7. One also sees ‘gimicky’ covers such as this Kiss album that had a reflective surface that would stick out of all the bland covers in a CD store.
- 8. This album art is very political but artistic at the same time. Badu is telling us that her problems are not easy to be solved and weigh heavy on her mind.
- 9. Again, this style of album art is not only artistic but gives us an idea of the type of music that Tyner produces and the mood of it as a result.
- 10. This is a moving image album art that shows a bird made out of shards of glass flapping its wings. It is considered the best digital album cover of all time by music award industries and audiences alike.
