This is the image that is going to be the front of our digipack, a repetitive pattern along with Photoshopped photos. The headless people are the other members of the band, however I am at the front of the digipack so i stand out more being the lead singer. This is an entertaining humerus representation of the band members because of the surreal body without heads, this is due to every other being normal in the representation apart from the heads. We are subverting from convention because we do not show all of our band members which is an uncommon theme among artist's which would conventionally like showing there face on the front cover. We decided to pose our band members in a very symmetrical fully frontal pose, this symmetry fits in with the repetitive patterning of the background. The rigidity of the pose is an amusing subversion of what happens in the video, allot of audiences would recognize that we have used an example intertextuality, our designs deliberately echoes Magrittes famous surreal image 'the Son of Man'. Our cd design fits in really well with out video because
- we feature the band members as playful
- our use of bright contrasting colors

I love the designs that you have devised and I find your explanantion of the design's genesis very helpful.As I have explained to you in class, I would like you to present this material in a more interesting way, one that isn't just a block of uniform text.
ReplyDeleteYou have a variety of options.Why not use PhotoBooth to talk about your creative decision making process, with the greenscreen facility, so you talk against a screenshot of this cover design?
