Final Back cover:
Are these successful?
I think these are successful in promoting our artist and his identity as...
Front cover -
- close up money shot gives recognisable artist appearance
- colourised tatoo is striking, and promoted his image and implies traits of his personality.
- eye contact is attention grabbing
- the image is very much a statement of his shy timid nature which is promoted yet completely contradicted through his work. The pose is almost like he doesnt want to be looked at- completely undermining his performance and the style of his lyrics.
- very styled pose which is teasing for audiences who find him attractive.
Sleeve:
- creative
- iconic and stylised (gesture and mise en scene)
- running colour themes
- picture ties in with the MySpace webpage.
Back cover:
- a real sense of aggression through the Baseball Bat. This is generic and undermines the performance style of our artist and the nature of his lyrics.
- the black and white colour and white t-shirt is almost like he is a prison inmate. -reflects issues he raises through his music, the hard hitting,-no nonsense nature, the confidence of the artist, aggressive tones, etc.
Font:
- This is stamp like, which almost implies a sense of aggression (the stamping of something)
- Also this stamp like nautre SIGNIFIES that the image has been LITERALLY BRANDED!!!, i.e. this IS Boy Interrupted.-(identity)
- The back black font is very casual and easy reading, yet the red on the front cover and spine is very striking and implies danger and aggression.
