| Eminems Album Cover |
 |
| The Dark Knight Movie Poster |
When researching different CD covers I need to make sure that i find one that relates to my audience the most. This CD cover is a great example of one that does. The picture is very dark and mysterious and is seen as a more dystopian pleasure. The text looks like it is trying to scare the reader and make them feel uncomfortable. The reason why i have chosen to analyse this CD cover is because it has a significant vertical intertextual reference to the film 'The Dark Knight'. In my opinion i really like this CD cover the reason why i like it so much is because Eminem's songs usually involve felling’s of people (mainly himself) and how the world hates him. I wish to use this same type of CD cover to express the artist's feelings, however in a much more positive way. I also wish to use an intertextual reference similar to this one. Also I really like the choice of colour in this CD cover the reason because it is dominated by the colour back and only includes three colours in total which are black, white and red. Using the black and white makes the red stand out and makes it more significant compared to the other text.
Another exmaple of a CD cover would be Examples 'Playing in the Shadows' Compared to the other CD cover theya re very simluar in the way that they represent he artist. Each example is dominted by the colours black and white connoting a mysterious life and that the audience doesn't know the whole side of him.
The use of simplistic colours creates a sense of mystery. As well as this, the black and white image symbolises the album name 'shadows' a Example is half enclosed in a shadow on the cover. The album cover appeals to the target audience which is example fans and hip-hop/rap fans as it shows an image of the well-known artists and everyone knows what sort of music he does.
As my partners mum is a professional photographer it means that we are able to create a professional looking piece of work. Me and my partner have already planned what we wan't to have our cover to look like. We would like to use my partners mums studio to take some photographs of the two singers. We would like to have a plain back ground and then edit the photogragh to add some intertextual reference or even cover up some of their identity similar to the two covers that i have analysed
