Conventions!

Composition And Layout!

For My cd cover i want to use a collage of different images in square tiles like this one of blur, mine will consist of different emotional images, with the middle tiles displaying the name of the band.

Conventions consists of composition and layout, the way in which a cd cover is put together and the different ideas in which people have to make it work.

Criteria such as, images, use of text, xolor and picture information, i am going to look at a few cd covers, relating to the same genre of music that i am using for my music video and am going to analyse the different conventions of each.

I like the idea of using bright colors like this within my cd cover to invite people in, to make the cd cover noticeable, i want to use this similar effect, i have researched into a few different cd covers but there are not many that display the same effect, i am going to create the same effect as the cd cover that i displayed earlier of Blur but the background would consist of different colors and also the way in which the Bands name is presented.




I also looked at the cd cover for the band who's song we are using, as their cover was also similar to the effect in which i wanted to use but only the way in which the letters have been set out.




The way in which Mystery Jets displayed their name within their cd cover, represents how i wish to diaply mine, i have an idea of using varied emotions within tiled space across my cd cover but using blocked out tiles to display the bands name, and using their hands to display the albumn name, it is a new idea of mine and by reseearching into it, it seems that it has not been done before only slightly the same effect by the group Blur.

The composition and layout will be very important it is a big step and must be done correctly to maintain a professional effect. Everything must be created in a specific order, making sure all detail is correct and everything is in place, i want it to look very professional and also very independant, but at the same time very different, my layout will consist of bright colors, and varied emotions, helping the audience get to know what the band is like beofre even listening to their music.
