CD Cover Analysis - Task 1
Having analysed Music Videos you now need to do the same with CD covers. This should give you ideas on how to represent the band on your digipak cover. Remember that you are looking for ideologies relating to the artist/s and genre as well as a clear visual ethic. Make sure that your analysis is clear, visual and well presented.
You should make notes on the content that is regularly featured on all four panes of the covers.
Look for :
the font and type face used, its significance and connotations
how the band is represented - their body language, clothing, expressions
lighting, colour design and mood
key images and iconography
setting and location

Again, you should have a separate section that clearly explains which stylistic features or conventions that you have noticed which you think may have an impact on your finished work.
Task 3
Write one paragraph in which you assess your work according to the mark scheme. If we agree that your work is at least proficient then you can blog and move on.
Task 4 Blog
Explain that you have analysed CD covers and added the information to the website and that in doing so have developed a better idea of conventions you may wish to follow or challenge in your own production.
