looking at drafts towards digi packs.

I wanted to show people my previous designs that I tryed to present towards my digipack.

At first, before I even started the digi pack design I looked at this album cover:











I hand drew this picture on the left from just looking from examples and the layout of the album cover of pendulum.




I copied the eyes position and also the graffiti type of atmosphere as it was good and energetic at the time.


Like where pendulum album name and artist where placed I did the same layout as it was the most useful and presentable aspect, having it above didn't look good, and below the mouth was too big and spacement was limited.



I got the mouth idea from researching on google different kinds of demon liked mouths and facial expression and then kind of transferred them into one aspect which gave me this result.









The mouth of this picture skull was transformed in my own development as you can see in the bottom picture.




When the mouth was applied yet again I surrounded with graffiti to cover any blank bit ands also makes the narrative of the story addressed across more strong due to atmosphere and age range, teenage aspect.



The top I had some problems with, I did not no weather to cover it with graffiti and copy the same design as pendulums layout or add more fire or cartooned images. Then I thought about this character and what i drew in forms of emotional contents, so I applied looking through fashion linked, and came across a jokers hat. The reason why I drawn out a jokers hat above is that it fits the realistic factors of the character wearing a hat and the joker is described as a mysterious and sly character that can cause chaos, looking from batman joker i wanted to gather the same content of the narrative in that story which the joker plays.


Overall I was impressed with this work, but there was a major problem with this also.

Looking at other peoples work and stuff it was simple and well placed, the amount of graphics I have in this picture is over done. there was too much to edit because it destroyed the overall look upon it.


When editing on photo shop I found it really hard to fill in small gabs as there where out of place when i wanted to past filter the certain part. It filled the whole page either red or green as they where the colours in my colour scheme.

So this was a major problem with applying in affects to bring out small detail, as the picture is full of detail it was not possible to apply when gabs where out and also it looked to Gothic for my standard and did not match the genre of music.

I asked People and they came back with these as feedback;

• I love the drawing and links with the first scene of your music video but I think it does go to the rock side and has a kind of similarity with Iron maidens album covers. (Brett Thompson AGE - 18)
• I'm Love the middle sketch but the bottom needs a bit more graffiti in there, and also the top good effort though. ( Richard Bailey AGE - 21)
• I love the drawing and gives a funky side to the genre so I think it does link to your catchy beat in the music video. (Dawn Johnson. AGE - 43)
• There too much detail, you need to make graffiti but bigger examples, it looks to over crowed for my eyes. (Bryani Moulds AGE - 13)

From these I learnt points in a picture which need to be carefully examined, even in the 3 sector you still need to split them up into another 3 stages. Start, Main aspect / story, Small detail linking to story of picture.

Then I looked at other peoples blogs and everyone seemed to be doing photos of themselves or the people that were in their music videos. So I took the influence of them and went in that direction as it looks more simple and gives a straight narrative instead of over crowding a picture and people get different ideas.

Can albums digi packs help me towards my final design?? (side covers)

Now the side cover I found a nightmare to do in my draft, I'll be honest I didn't have a clue in terms of structure and use of the mise en scene.

Now looking from these three examples again I can now find a easy route and ideas to annotate upon;


EXAMPLE ONE:

I found this examples on google. Looking at the side views they link to the whole story, front, back and where the Cd's go, so my mise en scene will have to have a strong connection as it like the main body when you open it up. It shows the story of the narrative in the album.


What I can see here is that the top two blocks are the sides and middle of digi pack.




This have given me influence to compete with another art drawing, but this time I will need to plan out as their picture as it takes two sides, I needs to be simple drawn. What i can do with the use of black and white is that I don't need to add colour it's already there so I'm having strong thought upon using these colours for my final Cd. this is good for covering and giving a bold outlook upon their narrative, it shows the audience what this is and how they response to it.


I found the structure is easy to do and very basic which I will benefit, looking from just this example it gives me the clear mind map of what is required.



As i can see the whole album is black and white, from researching black and white are good colours to research (look at 3 colour scheme final design for more detail), OK trance is colourful but in some points of the lyrics and narrative of my music video i can turn this into a trance rock type of cause. As long I have a strong narrative in use of pictures I'm fine and the front covers examples covers that.


Example two: LIKIN PARK - A THOUSAND SUNS!

I researched into linkin Park as his emotion and music are very strong for in terms of relationship with my music video.


I love everything about this digi pack, as it a kind of trance effect with the lighting and also the use of background that helps the middle frame stand out to others.
They have kept to a single photo but the photo right in front has been developed upon in the use of ideas from the black and white example.



I especially really like the front example with the use of bight and glowing colours and how they are combine together, this would be a perfect combo for my sides, maybe if I have a photo of me looking down outside or a slogan, and then have this kind of effect will work for the middle body of my digi pack.


And also this is an easy structured example of layout in colours and spacial awareness.



Example three: PEARL JAM
Peral Jam does not have a link towards music but the lyrics are and there narrative structure in the this album has.
I like how it like black and white but consists of loads of close up of body parts which indicates sudden movement and drama for mise en scene.
I like how it's outside and describes the background in a different atmosphere and environment.
And also the sides with the symbolic codes of Christ and distressed body.
The top three are yet again good for the sides, it can show a movement of story according to day e.g. by morning it starts by night it has grown.

So what I have learnt from sides points that that it has to link with the front and back in the use of colours and mise en scene, e.g. symbol will have links.
Also the sides describe the story of the album and link from the tracks suggested may come into effect.

I will therefore have one photo with colour imagery in the background.

Can album covers help my digi pack? (back cover)

The back of the cover consists of the CD one and Cd two in the back in my draft I thought the font was suitable but yet again did not look professional the colour that blended with the background did not match it quality.

Also the key is to keep as little detail in so the background is clear and people can read the track without being destroyed by other things such as pictures.

I found another 3 examples which are good to develop upon;

EXAMPLE ONE

BLINK 182 - EMERA OF THE STATE

I am looking for a busy back but I also want the tracks to be clear this is a clever piece and use of the colour code.

They have a massive picture smack bang in the middle, but at the top they have there slogan which links to there mise en scene and album in one colour.

Then where the tracks are another layer of colour is used, red and white bond well as they are primary colours.

So what I found from this is that I can have a big picture without being distracted too much, the only problem is with the background is like the after story of the front cover, and will it link up to the albums meaning. A Strong mise en scene. So maybe I could have a negative input on the front cover, but an easy going back, as my music video has a dilemma turned into a solution.

The only problem is that it might be too cheesy for some audience but I will work on it.

EXAMPLE TWO:

FOO FIGHTERS - GREATEST HITS

Yes it is greatest hits and my band is making a debut albums but this CD cover mise en scene I find very useful and strong in terms of keeping it simple.

The picture on the right is the album cover and the picture on the left is the back.

What I see here is lots of individual and professional outlet towards ticking off all the list.

I love the slogan of the band FF, it blended in with a simple shape with use of a primary colour so it stands out in the crowd.

The background is a secondary colour which blends in the primary, also the grey makes the mise en scene strong. It reminds me of the war as that kind of surface is planes and metal, and as I'm a big fan of foo fighters I listened to them and they have many links to the wear and life.

I love the simple minded use of the title and album cover name, they suck to the same font and stuck towards the 3 side rules top middle bottom, title top, slogan middle, album name bottom, I have more interest in this layout.

And what I love about the bond is that there the same background but the back is more shiny with the use of brass brown, they suck to there mise en scene and kept it tidy and well to read the story of the album.

The little bullets point next to each track I like as well as it structures the placement of track and that you can place it anywhere on the back without a fuss as long as it in this type of layout.

The spines are on the side with the same title and album name and font.

And to add a little more eye catchers that the missiles that are red are used for the normal tracks and the ones crossed off are the bonus tracks, covers, or a new release, how you know this is that the last 3 tracks have the same symbol next to them.

And last but not least they have the rights and regards 'Sony music' with all the details; release dates, band recordings, place made and manufactured etc.

And the bar code is place on the bottom simple and out the way.

EXAMPLE THREE:

GREEN DAY - DOOKIE

I like the simple quality again. With this shows the part of the story like blink 182 but then the rights and tracks placement are kind of foo fighters examples. I like the way they have underlined their tracks with the same colour, it simplifies the ways of structure and that they are all the tracks.

I love how the producer and the band are in the middle of track they squeezed it in but the audience have no problem of placement and don't get confused.

I found the bar code was different being on the top, it does work but I prefer it on the bottom but the reason I think why it went on the top so it does not damage the picture.

In the middle of the picture it has a resemblement to a tv programme, semerme street, this might be targeted for cutting down the age range???

But again the problem is google images will be required which knocks down my grade so a simple own resourced picture is fine.
And the bottom has influenced me a colour code which i will mention in the other post of advertising the bottom rights.

So from this I gained

Easy visual scenery for placement of band.

That I can have a successful picture but has to link to the front and sides.

What colour scheme I'm going to use for my final choices.

Examples of rights and reserves to make the band / artist release look professional.

Looking at realistic brands which link towards my digi pack.

Cd cover need rights and ownerships of professional labels to even consider reviews from other brands such as KERRANG, to newspapers, they will need to have rights and links so that the digi pack can be presented on tv adverts on itunes site and radio etc.

By this I mean this kind of example;

So all the example I've indicated will need to be shown on my back cover to make it realistic.

Can other albums help me choose an idea towards my digi pack ?? (front cover)

First I wanted to look an front covers of an album as the front cover provides the main attraction for the audience, if this does not stand out then the interest rate will not live up to its name and expectations so the sides and back covers will be ignored straight away.

To cut things down I linked my genre of music with other yet again, looking through the grime trance with the song tenderoni and wider resources as grime trance is not popular due to mainstream (look at marketing sectors in my blog) bloc party / indie I found these;

CHASE AND STATUS - MORE THAN THIS
I like the font for a start, big bold cover the whole section and the use of splattered colour indicates a source of mainstream.
The colours make it look club with the contrast of pink - light and loud - and black - nighttime / nightclubs.

I also like how the main artist faces are on the bottom and the use of the black colours have been used again for dramatic effect, it almost like a pop art effect.

The bands name stands out as it is layered across the top and has a white outline so If I'm using a white background this may come in handy.

The only problem is for this is that the font comes along to mainstream, it more targeted towards pop, but however by making the font look more negative; take out bit from the text and make it kind of an graffiti affect.



This is example two:

DJ FRESH - KRYPTONITE
This has a brilliant bond with my genre and style.
Dj fresh is not that mainstream which bonds well towards the standard working class of a non a lister such as Katy perry, eminem, rihanna etc.
I love the editing on the skull you can see it professional in the methods of bits being cut out and the detailed in the outlines with the tone and the black and white brings out the shading. It shows a mysterious side but the skulls represents a negative criteria e.g. death, crime, hazards.
But the skulls links well to conscience and also emotions, what I could do hear is not use the skulls but use my main artists (me) but by using photo shop cut out parts of my features such as eyes or mouth and use like the background that he has used.

The only problem with this background is that it's more than three colour, but that's easy to take care off by just keeping a pattern or some sort. But I want to adapt so it my own unique image so maybe the use of graffiti out of my mouth can describe trance but then have blood coming out my eyes to describe a negative side to the story, so that trance can be negative as my music video comes across negative and dark.

Last but not least I like how the name of artist is simple and placed out of the way it hidden kind of so that the audience gets a full profile upon the image which is what I'm looking for.

I will take this example after my draft work into high consideration.

And a final example
( I didn't want to too much as too much can be over flown with ideas).

PENDULUM - HOLD YOUR COLOUR:
I love this front cover, simply because its powerful in terms of energy and he colour scheme.
The way the eyes is formed and placed is brilliant as it shows a kind of monster type of effect and make me think what the hell is this and the audience gets a gist of they don't no what to expect of the album as the cover expresses this, completely of the rails and unique.
The graffiti adapting from the eyes is shows in full use as the eyes is clear and absorbs and draws the audience in, the graffiti brings out the quality and effort that the artist have put in and and is not just an everyday cover.
Now the only problem with this is that I don't have the professional equipment / programme and school. But the picture that you saw in my draft work was a kind of example, unfortunately on photo shop it still did not require the right tool to compete with this.

But from this I will take the eye and the style of graffiti and could adapt upon example two.

And last but not least I love the font white and black background easy to read and see and I like the use of 'hold your colour' being in a white background anyway.

I have now learnt to keep fonts simple and well structured from all examples.
Keep the picture big and impactive with detailed background covering 3 thirds.
If taking a photo of the artist well placed shot and blends in with the 3 colour scheme.

Draft: Back Cover

With the back cover I wanted both of us to be in the picture, looking from chase and status on YouTube.com I looked at this photo;

I like the placement of the two characters and the angle on which they are standing in. I like the background of the city moving as well, this may be hard for us as I only live in a town. But this is what I came up with;

I like the format of this photo as it has a Strong bond with one above. The only thing when I looked upon it is that I'm the lead singer in the music video so I need to address my self as the leader.

Also I found that my alley way will be a lot more better as its like claustrophobic and a narrow path, it kind of addresses that you would not to meet us down an alley way and in a albums the lyrics could express this.

Also my music video come across negative in actions of thoughts and angered issues due to me being the conscience so a debate about a empty room of me and my friend or the alley way could come into use.

Our faces due to the colour contrast is darkened, you can see this from the top of the picture as my light was turned on. Also me in the background is not clear so maybe I need to be level on like the photo above. so I'm thinking of to have us just in a dark background, I'll research on recent albums such as rock and hard trance yet again.

Sticking to winter clothes is better as well as it shows us belonging in links of cold human beings and links with the seasonal aspects of being cold and dark early like my music video as its night time most of the time.

Draft: Side covers

With the side covers I wanted to involve me and my friend so it shows the characters / artist who made and what our personality is like. I came up with this;

I love the colour scheme of my layout but their is an slight problem that the facial expression are not clear and the audience will find it hard to find the defined detail so I need to mess around with that.

I liked the idea of the CD but some people did not as I did not match the realistic terms of my albums and found it a random and pointless outcome.

But now that I look back upon it the lighting is too bright and also the 3 Cd's makes it looks like we are sponsoring a album let alone ours. And they cover up half of our face so It's like what the point of even taking a photo of us.

You can see me and my friend taking the pictures in the reflection of the Cd which does not make it professional.

But overall I'm happy with the colour format and the background with the blinds, it also makes it look like projection as it shows an empty and cold room.

But the photos needs to be changed.

Looking back upon my final filming I need like a disturbed and aggressive image, maybe look at prodigy album covers again that I researched and annotated.

Draft: Front cover

This is my draft version f the front cover, looking at the prodigy I wanted a kind of same format
of their album Invaders must die. Yes I did get this off google images which will bump me back a few marks but in my final design I will copy but draw out my own resource of format. This is just an example for starters. The titles i find very good with the font and stuff yet again I got influence from prodigy albums and also Papa roach as I commented upon. the only problem with this is that the background is square and need to cut out or change the background box so it links. With black I could get away with it.





















Overall I'm happy with the front cover but I will make my own drawn layout so I don't lose any valuable marks. And keep to the colour scheme of green and black.

Fonts and colour scheme for my digi pack.

In this post I am looking for hints and elements that could help me make a successful front colour.

From researching all the resources towards my final design I found that the colours white, black, and red are the most affective for mine.

I no this because the photo that I can do can be black and white, its good because it will link to the emotions used in the music video and bring of a dark atmosphere which the music video indicated.

The red indicates the parts of blood and anger which is yet again good for my screen.
All these together can keep the picture simple to read and the fonts I think will come to the best use as these colours are all primary.

RED: Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye. So red tone of colour can be dull or light but still show the emotion if it was dark red blood, light red mist or atmosphere of the background maybe. Words come under love, socialism, blood, Christmas, danger socialism and danger are useful catchphrases.

BLACK:Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint". It very clear for audience and reacts like a background which is good for mise en scene and blending it in with the white. It can indicate silence, death, mystery,fear, power which all these words are useful for my moodboard.


WHITE:White is a color, the perception which is evoked by light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings. A white visual stimulation will be void of hue and grayness. Words variations come under; aryan, brave, purity, nobility, softness, emptiness, God, knowledge, lack, snow, ice, heaven, Caucasian, peace, life, clean, air, sunlight, surrender, clouds, frost. Again a mixture upon emotions.


So most of my colours come under the terms of anger danger and emotional outlooks which the audience address it as stereotypically so this has influenced me to use these colours.

Simple steps to a simple success.

In this post I was looking on smiths blog and came across a level 4 digi pack. So I wanted to look at their cover and annotate their progress and what the exam board expects, and what ideas I can get from it.



This gives a more comfortable take upon my whole digi pack. This is what I annotated:




















So looking from this piece of work I have found the main elements that construct and make a level 4 piece of work.

What does a digi pack consist of?

In this post I am researching what a digi pack requires throughout and what I need to do to make a successful outcome; (the blue are the main points and the red writing is my comments back).

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.
So this shows the typical layout which I need to do, the capacity has a large range and every cover will have to have different techniques into them so I need to plan out a layout of what needs to go in each individual page e.g. front cover , back cover etc.
Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" rather than a full plastic tray.
This shows how the structure is put together and what I need to do to make the layout not illegal and what is needed for evidence to show it. Also I can now look at certain digipacks from different styles of companies and look and their ideas and see if any link to my themed song.
Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Because such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly. Licensed digipak manufacturers such as domestic U.S. printer and disc replicator Oasis Disc Manufacturing recommend coating the raw printed paper with a protective UV coating, thus ensuring greater longevity.
This shows what materials and management is needed, as our school don't have the major resources I will have to link and make it to the best outcome, a made up company. But this shows me what I need to put to make it in an professional aspect.
Also it tells me what digi-packs are used for, my target will be the CD single but I got to make an album. So maybe the front cover can advertise a link to a single release with my main artist on the front and title of the album and band and the rest like the back and middle and to combine them together. The materials and resources that I will have to use is simple plain paper for sketches or photo shop as it's more advanced than a simple sketch. I want to do a drawing but the thing is will it suite the whole themed layout, but I could scan the sketch in and edit it with photo shop to make give it more edge and impact and does it live up to it's name? So I need to research that as well. ]

So overall this shows me a structured layout of what tasks I need to do to layout my digi pack.

Layout of the poster provided

Looking from magazines that i tend to read KERRNAG magazine falls upon the impact that I want to advertise my music in.
OK it's not what I thought either due to mainstream compared but mainstream is mostly tended with trance pop and pop etc, kele runs under the influence of mainstream due to his band and also the person who he represents himself which is the main key of which exact genre you fall in.
Looking at me I have red hair, sharp facial features and the fashion I where is mainstream rock and indie, but it can get away with the genre I want to express.
I chosen KERRANG as it's an 'in your face' magazine and the fonts are funky and bright and stands out, also artist look and dress like me which I can find good example and elements in.

This magazine holds the mainstream artist's and bands to rock / indie / and hard trance / drum and bass grime e.g. paramore, the killers, hadokeun.

Kele tenderoni would fall under the drum and bass and grime aspects as no instruments are placed and also the slow bassy beat that's involved. My song have similar beats to pendulum and sub focus which are advertised in this poster and are signed on to KERRANG as well for their progress in the music industry.

This is the basic layout of every week showing the front cover;

As you can see the display page consist of the main band that KERRANG have interviewed or the photo and sub heading shows they have progressed in their own work, in my one it will be like 'noting but echoes breakthrough!'

Also to make it look like a well designated and chosen advertisement in the background it has to present the magazine title, genre, and mise en scene, the mise en scene is well place the main in middle and then covering up with offers and other bands and weekly news which I could do. I shall use the 3 colour code, the colour that I will use is red,green, and black, these colour revolve around energetic and a dark expression, exactly my narrartive in the music video.

And also it links to my hair and my characters hair (red and black).

I will have my artist / band name in the center with a photo of me and my other character within the film holding three Cd's.

The sub heading will be on the ctachphrases of an breakthorugh in the UK, will they live up to there family members?

Also I want to include a more detailed aspect towards my brand name and advertisment by doing this sort of method;

I am going to use exactly the same format of this using my three coloured code the sub heading font will be red and probably a graffiti type of text again. The photo will be me and my character face to face with an aggressive face, these addresses the mood of our album and gives a stereotype towards what kind of artist I am.

And last but not least below will be a description of interviewing us and our answers upon it (maybe look back in research in music to find answers).

Reserching into ablum covers:

After all the music video we have to make an album cover.


It has to be a 6 sided digi pack on which song I am advertising. This must involve my artists name, the title of the album, and also on the spine the name, the whole digi pack has to be connected all into one story so focusing on my style due to colours,slogans, photo placement will be crucial throughout!


Looking for starters I wanted to look at kele's main cover of his album;



The album consists of black and white so it brings out the detainment in the artist and the light and shadows reflects of the tone in the body giving him a more dominant image.


The title of the song links it meaning very well, he looks like a boxer with elements of the white tape around his hands and the clothes that he is wearing. Look at his body language he's getting ready before he goes into a match, with him holding his head down it shows that he is thinking. The hair style gives a very board stereotype of a common boxer e.g. Daivd haye is like a replica to Kele in this photo.


The chair is good for isolating the shot and the make and style of the chair makes him look commended in his own environment and makes the atmosphere more cold and lifeless. And just because it a chair it's single and noting else in the background is getting into the way. The black and white is used to hide the face of the character and the shadow use his emotions to express his image and scenery.

The obnly problem is I find this album cover boring to the age range I want to select which is the teenage asepcts.
It good for my song and artists name as it's bring of ideas of dark performances, I might use the same method of placement but either I want a energetic but negative outcome or something like this.

But in today's aspect teenagers aim mostly at moveing imagery and scenery (looking from research and marketing)

A good example for energetic and busy but negative album is this;

The prodigy has the same taste compared to my beat of my music video as I mentioned in recent posts so it already has a good connection.

Right at the start of my video my facial expressions are the same jester and method also. The black and white brings out like a robotic and demon kind of effect maybe using the colour of red for the face could bring out more graphical connotations. The text placement and style is easy to wack on as well maybe a wrapped kind of effect or a graffiti styled to bring of the expression of the bands performance and genre that is taken upon.
And listening to their songs and whole album it relate to this front cover which I need to take into consideration.
So overall this album cover is an perfect example of eliminating and development for my front cover.

The boxer: Kele

The Boxer

Is the debut solo album by Kele Okereke. I focused on this album more than the other as it his debut which means probably more effort went into this one.

Okereke released the album under the professional name of Kele on 21 June 2010. So this is a recent album which works well in today aspect and covers my narrative really for e.g. i didn't want 1980's music and lyrics which revolved around then.

As promotion, he uploaded the songs "Rise" and "Walk Tall" to his personal website on 13 May. The first single from The Boxer was Tenderoni", released on 14 June, and the second, Everything you wanted", on 16 August, I have looked at these certain tracks and taken them more into consideration than the other ones; but i listened to the whole album and Tenderoni and everything u wanted and walk tall stood out for me anyway, I will look more in depth to these to make my final decision on what I want.

^{Also I can look at it from an audiences view of what they like the most so maybe in the music video I'm searching for maybe I could carry out surveys and that to progress and find the best estimate within my own confidence and also the know what a vast majority of audience wants.}

Also looking through his album the track are fairly long, this could maybe be a problem, but a good problem in my eyes, more stuff will have to be involves and by keeping the audience entertained but in that way for me I can construct more ideas form my research into one.

Looking from the influence that Kele had XXX change helped him with his songs, looking through research of XXX change I found out that is an American rapper. His style is generally described as a mix of underground alternative rap and electro and rock. There is often confusion surrounding his name since collaborative releases have appeared under his name only, though are generally considered "group" efforts - similar to rock acts like Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson. So his Kele is more of a team based effort, this I think is good cause many ideas and effort goes into one song which is what I want to gain just by an individual working. Also looking from the rock aspects I will now listen to some certain songs of there's and see if there is a comparison with the mixing of tunes and ideas, so I can look at XXX change compared to management and team work within group development if needed to.

The album received generally favourable reviews from critics also, this yet again is good, this is basically saying that there are lots of mixed reviews towards this certain album and became popular. Critics normally look at the style of music that links with the singer and the narrative of the whole album and as it say favourable reviews it means it was successful in it purposes to sell to audiences.

Looking at the album cover I don't really like it, I find it plain and boring in my opinion, but I can see the emotion it vibes off. Due to the background and body language the characters position sat in, and also the symbol of taping up his hand it meets the narrative of the title.
The album cover I'm looking for is this;
[Kid cudi man on the moon]




So looking from this album cover I want it to be cartoon and mysterious so it gives the audience complete confusion and interest to why the album is like this, also kid cudi's music is similar to Kele so the genre revolves and is the same as well, this gives me more inspiration to look upon this album cover than others.

So by just looking through one album I've learnt that alot of effort from different backgrounds can all go into one successful produced album, so I need to look for recent backgrounds and develop more of MY ideas into my album cover and most importantly my music video. Also it meets the mise en scene within my music video as well.
