CD Cover Ideas
These are two sketches of ideas for our CD Cover.
They are just ideas that popped into my head which connected
or reminded me of 'love'. The roses represent love in many ways
as they are a flower which you give to someone you love or you
recieve them from a fellow partner. The clouds and sunshine are
just to fill the cover with happy, meaningful thoughts.
The title and author are spread around the cover where possible and
where it looks good to fit in an appopriate place.

Music Video Analysis
Lady GaGa -- Poker Face:
This music video is all about Lady GaGa hiding her face behind a mask. This shows her putting on a poker face when playing the game, which is all about keeping a straight face and not showing any emotion. The video seems to revolve around a poker game with people concentrating and keeping a straight face, but without Lady GaGa's mask she doesnt have a poker face unlike everyone else. The video also seems quite sexual, as she wears different types of sexy clothing and dnaces around into different positions, its almost as if she is a sexy commentator, watching the moves through her mask.
Dizzee Rascal -- Bonkers:
This unique video is shown exactly around the title. For example Dizzee Rascal has a sharks head on, which is seen as crazy or as in this song, Bonkers! The video is alot of crazy and unique stuff put together randomly to show the audience what they want to see from the title. Which means the producers have worked from the title to build up a random but yet significant video to catch the audience's eye and keep them happy. The video overall is good and keeps to the title making the whole song and video 'BONKERS' from start to finish!
Akon -- Beautiful
This video revolves around Akon being in the centre of many different 'beautiful' women. For example at the start of the video there are different camera shots of different women in different outfits and in different pose's, there is then a camera shot of Akon obviously watching the women as more camera shots come in of even more women. This lasts for the first 17 seconds of the video which may show that these women are ment to be shown as 'Beautiful' and Akon is the one singing about them! Through the video there are another two lads who join the song and also join the women as they dance round the three of them. If its not a shot of Akon and the other two then its camera shots of the women. So overall the Video conveys exactly waht the title says once again but towards the women and how men can be respectable towards them.

Prodigy -- Music for the Jilted Generation
This album cover seems very weird but matches the headline of 'music for the jilted generation'. It shows the dead / horrified head at a 'jilted' angle, and the death of the head may convey the generations to come for prodigy. The album cover seems quite eye catching and random, and the picture shows what type of audience will be listening to the CD. From the Cd Cover it seems as if Prodigy has a Hardcore, Rock style. When if you listen to it, it mostly is a Dance, Hardcore, Trance style. So the picture shows exactly what the audience want to listen to.
Kings of Leon -- Only by the Night
This album cover shows the title very well as the the title is 'only by the night' and the picture is of a human and a barn owl mixed in 4 different corners. This is good as owl's dont come out in the day there only out by the night. Which means the picture for the album cover covers the the title in every-way possible as there is nothing else the picture can say about the the title. So once again the picture has been worked on from the title, it's also obvious that the title was thought of before the picture. This is because Kings of Leon aren't really signified by a barn owl, therefore they wouldn't really put one in their album cover unless they had a title like this one.The Beatles -- Abbey Road
This album cover is unique as it wasn't actually going to be called 'abbey road'. The Beatles' photographer had only 10 minutes to take this photo, which is why one of The Beatle's, McCartney, is out of step and time with the other three. The picture for this is so easy, but yet so significant towards the album as the road is 'Abbey Road' and to this day is a popular destination for fans of The Beatle's. Also this particular album cover is one of the most famous and the most imitated in recording history. So easy, correct, quick, imaginable and simple but so famous!
