Evaluation Question One; front cover of digipak.
This document discusses the design choices made for the front cover of a fictional album. It begins by explaining that the cover image was chosen after experimenting with poses and lighting during a test shoot. It then analyzes the front covers of existing albums by Asgeir, Lana Del Rey, and Katy Perry that provided inspiration. Key elements like the artist name, album title, lighting, and borders are discussed. Controversial covers by Lady Gaga and Bat for Lashes are also examined. The document concludes by justifying the design choices made for the fictional cover, including using harsh lighting to represent a split personality and filling the frame to show confidence.
Audience feedback.
The document discusses feedback received from a survey on a mock magazine advertisement created by the author. Several comments pointed out ways to improve the mockup, such as adding a release date and changing the social media icons. The author tests out various design changes based on this feedback, including altering icon colors and styles, adding purchase location details, and merging image layers for easier editing. The revised mockup incorporates many of these changes to create a cleaner, more professional advertisement.
Choosing a track list for my album.
The document discusses song titles and themes that could appear on a fictional album. It analyzes track lists from pop artists like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and Rihanna, noting their focus on love and confidence. Indie artists Lorde, Lana Del Rey, and Lykke Li are also examined. After reviewing themes of love, sadness, and isolation, 10 potential song titles are selected that fit an introspective theme: "White Teeth Teens", "Ghost", "Awakening", "Alone With My Thoughts", "Learning To Love", "Paranormal", "Lungs", "Disappear", "Disposition", and "Catastrophe". The titles are intended to represent
Conventions of back cover.
This document discusses different conventions for album back cover designs. It analyzes back covers from various popular artists and evaluates whether the designs effectively represent the artist's genre and appeal to audiences. The document considers designs with track lists placed at angles, in fancy designs, basic designs, more complicated artistic designs, to the side of designs, and to the top or bottom of designs. It concludes that a design with the track list to the side of an image would be most effective for a new artist, allowing space for the artist's photo while clearly presenting information.
Conventions of a CD.
The document discusses conventions of CD design based on an analysis of existing CDs. It finds that conventions are less straightforward than initially thought. Every CD contains the record label, but designs vary widely. Men's CDs typically don't feature the artist's image and aim for creative/aesthetic designs suggesting power. Women's CDs have more varied designs, sometimes featuring the artist sexually and sometimes not. The analyzed CDs conform to expected conventions like featuring the artist/album name and label, while breaking conventions like not including the artist's image.
Conventions of the spine of an album
This document discusses different design elements that artists use on album spines. It notes that major record labels want albums to look professional to maximize sales, while independent labels prioritize the music. Artists experiment more with spine design. Nicki Minaj's albums followed a consistent design until her latest, reflecting a change in image. Simple designs with the artist's name, album title, and serial number appeal most to the author. Some artists use messy designs to show how they differ from others. Common conventions include the artist, title, colored spine, serial number, and label, though not all albums include every element.
Label research.
XL Recordings is an independent record label known for its diverse roster of artists across many genres. It allows artists more freedom to create the music they want without pressure to conform to commercial expectations. While it has less money for production than a major label, artists retain control over their music and image. For these reasons, the student concludes XL Recordings would be the best choice to represent their new indie-pop artist, as it prioritizes the music over profits and won't force the artist into a particular mold.
Analysis of posters and adverts.
The document discusses conventions of tour posters and magazine advertisements. It analyzes several examples of tour posters from different genres to understand what elements make an effective poster. Key conventions included are the artist name, tour dates and locations, special guests, and website. Magazine advertisements promote specific albums or songs rather than full tours. They may omit release dates as a marketing strategy. Overall the document examines various advertising examples to inform the design of a media coursework product.

Jessie J Narrative Analysis
The document discusses several narrative theories and how they apply to the Jessie J music video for "Price Tag". It analyzes how the video uses props like money and a teddy bear to create realism for the audience and communicate Jessie J's message about societal pressures to spend money. The narrative draws upon classic story types like Cinderella and operates through binary oppositions of rich vs poor. Overall, the video tells a clear story through Jessie J's performance that critiques the priority placed on wealth in society.
Song was about
The document summarizes the responses received from an online survey about the meaning of a song. It notes that most respondents were aged 16-19 and some answers were silly or immature as expected from that age group. Some responses correctly interpreted the song similarly to how the author understood it, while others provided interesting interpretations the author had not considered. A few respondents did not listen to the song or were unsure of its meaning, highlighting the need for the author's upcoming music video to clearly convey the narrative and meaning through visuals.
Other audience feedback
The document discusses the results of a survey about creating a music video. The survey asked about the expected number of locations in the video, whether seeing the artist is important, and whether the video should be in color or black and white based on the song's lyrics about loneliness. Most respondents said they wanted to see the artist and around 2-4 locations, and that the video should not be fully in color given the sad tone of the song. The document notes that the survey responses will help inform location choices, inclusion of the artist, editing pace, and range of costumes for the music video.
Emotions in song.
When asking survey respondents about the emotions created by a song, the answers showed a variety of emotions rather than just the expected "empowering" or "sad" responses. Some felt the song had a "chill vibe" that made them feel relaxed. One response noted that while the slow pace seems sad, the lyrics actually make the listener feel empowered and good about themselves. The document concludes that any product representing the song should illustrate its empowering and chill qualities rather than trying to portray sadness.
Music Video Influences and Techniques
The document discusses techniques seen in popular music videos that could be applied to the creator's own music video. It analyzes scenes and editing styles from videos such as "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus, "Midnight" by Coldplay, "If I Could Change" by Haim, "Nicotine" by Panic! At The Disco, "Let Go For Tonight" by Foxes, and "Happy Little Pill" by Troye Sivan that effectively convey emotion through imagery and could be adapted to portray the loneliness expressed in the creator's song. These include close-ups of the artist's face, negative editing, 360-degree shots, ghost effects, and subtle zooms to
