27th October Group Meeting Continued

Within this group meeting we also got inspiration for our CD design and also created the idea for our own CD design. We found inspiration from town from existing CD covers such as this once by Ke$ha herself;

We will also investigate other CD designs of relevant artists in our Digipak homework in much more detail but here is just an example of a CD cover that we could seek inspiration from. The plain black background is something we would like to include in our own CD cover with the use of glitter or bright font to stand out from the CD. But in our CD cover rather than have a generic close up of the artists face like on this cover, we would like to include two hands reaching for each other, with an explosion of bright powder/glitter coming from each hand, signifying a deep connection and the colours connotate the fun and glamourous image of our artist.

Inspiration comes in the strangest places; this zebra costumed man in Nottingham Town thought that we ourselves could include some kind of zebra/animal print within our artist's costume or even on our CD cover, this could portray the 'animalish' and wild side of our artist aswell as the animal print being right on trend, this is relevant as we want our artist to be highly stylish to appeal to our target audience of young teenage females.

This nail polish pictured above we found in Nottingham is highly relevant because we are planning to use it on the front cover of our CD design. This nail polish is a black base which allows bold, funky designs such as thunderbolts to be placed over the background. As our front cover will mainly include two hands, we would want this type of nail art of the hands to connotate the representations of the artists such as fun and youthful.

Leading on from this, we are going to blog about our CD design research in much closer detail and also post the sheet of our proposed CD design for our own CD so you can see our ideas much more precisely.

We also sat in Debenhams during our visit to Nottingham. During this stay we worked out from the new pitch idea we came up with, the new step outline for our song. This is just a rough outline of what we want the video to look like and our first initial idea for it.
