Looking at exsiting album covers I am collecting ideas for my own CD covers I think that the ideas I want to include is the two of my charecters in my video. The album covers only focus on who the band is whereas my CD cover is for the song I have chosen. Below some of the picture ideas I could inspire/ give me ideas for my own.
Possible ideas:
These 3 photos are taken from Drake and Rihanna's music video which is 'Take Care' This music video insipred me how to create my own CD cover. They're possible ideas which could inspire my own ideas. They show the relationship between the two people. Even though the artists don't follow my genre they're more R&B then indie. I still think it shows a good idea and that the theme of it being shown in black and white follows an aspect of the conventions of indie. They're both wearing casucal clothing with
Drake wearing a plain black t shirt and Rihanna wearing just a baggy jumper. I like this because it shows the true feelings between them both and you can tell by there body langauge. In each photo they're not looking at eachother which links in with my narrative and shows a slight bit of this. Even though this is just a possible idea it is something which I will base my Ancillary Texts around and I want to express this in my work as it is developed. I will produce test shots of two of my main charecters in this style.
While doing my research and planning I have carried out research for my chosen genre which is indie. This has helped me look at certain album/CD covers which cover this genre. For example different layouts and styles. I am going to look at existing products which suit my genre and which follow the different conventions.
This album cover by The 1975 which is an indie rock band which the song I have chosen for my music video is by this band. This album cover is shown very simple it is following the conventions of its genre by using the theme black and white. It simply states the name of the band which is shown in lights which draws attention towards it. I think this album cover is a very typical one which matches its genre. Its not too flashy or colourful which could easy be related to the genre pop. Without knowing what band it was for you would immediately relate it to indie. When producing my own digi pack and CD cover I will take this into consideration I want it to be draw attention but in a simply way and to know that is it the genre I have shown and it follows all the conventions.
From looking at the album cover which suits my conventions this one I wanted to look at in comparison. It shows how it is all brightly coloured and mainly pink which relates to the name of the album. Compared to the one I just looked at it shows the female artist in the album cover which is Nicki Minaj. It shows the attention more to her and the ways she is presented rather than The 1975 cover which draws more towards the attention of the name of the band rather than the way they look and they have just done it towards the music itself. This has shown the difference between the two different genres and the way the conventions are representation are different and how the colours and the artist is shown.
