Album Development





Magazin Advert- Final

Magazine Advert Development

Research Planning: Magazine advert analysis 1

Rihanna is being represented as aggressive, she looks intimidating as she is looking straight to the camera and her facial express is neutral.
The colours used are vague and brings out a dark atmosphere. The faded red text at the bottom of the poster gives a balances to the poster not allowing it to be to dark. the fact that the text is faded it give credit to the other text to be seen.
Not much information is giving however the poster lets the audience know the feating artist, the name of the main artist and the name of the album. the little text at the bottom of the poster has the date of the release of the album.
the layout is appropriate; the texts are place at the bottom which is common for most posters - its so that the face of the artist is seen clearly and is not covered. her name is written a bit bigger than the rest of the text on the poster because the audience need to acknowledge that she is the main focus.
The title of the album is called 'R Rated' the letter R is apart of her initials, put together with the word 'rated' this is  suggesting that her album is rated to her standards  which links to the image she is portraying of herself in the poster.

Digipak Layout Plan



Digipak Analysis- Lil Wayne



front cover)
The front cover is a long shot of Lil Wayne who is standing in a empty space connoting that he is alienated from the world and reinforcing the idea that he is 'not a human being'. He is layed back and is posing in a confidant manner, he is wearing a black jacket, a white cap and sunglasses looking away form the camera which brings out his boldness. 

Through out the whole digipak the same colour scheme is used which bring a link to them. a mixture of yellow, oranage and red connote his mixed emotions, personality and characteristcs. These colours are vibragnt and compliment each other. 

(Back cover)
Lil Wayne is walking away from the camera going towards the direction he was looking at in the front cover. the layout is simply well done and easy to read; on the left hand side the song titles of the music that is in his album are listed and below are the credits and company logo. on the right hand side is a long shot of him and below theres a barcode.
