The document summarizes and analyzes three album covers from dubstep artists:
1) "NERO WELCOME TO REALITY" is praised for its graphics and illustrations that represent the dubstep genre. The writer hopes to achieve a similar style.
2) "KATY B ON A MISSION" uses gradient colors that suit dubstep and features a central image that could link to the writer's music video.
3) "LA ROUX BULLET PROOF" shows the artist's full face, which the writer wants for their new artist Ava Manhattan to promote recognition. The graphics provide a style for the writer to emulate.
2. Genre - Dubstep
The genre to our Music video is
Dubstep, and personally not
listening to dubstep myself it was
quite tricky searching up on
digipaks and only managed to find
album covers. None the less it was
a good in sight to what my own
version may look like. I like a
couple of ideas that Ive already
seen but these are just a few that I
4. NERO WELCOME TO REALITY
This Dubstep trio NERO have
this album cover (Picture to
the left and previous slide)
for their album WELCOME
TO REALITY. Initially when I
looked at it I thought it
looked amazing, the graphics
and illustrations look very
good and I love the way
NERO is written. I think the
Cover represents Dubstep
from the graphics you can
just tell it belongs to the
dubstep/house genre. Im
hoping to create the same
for my cover that when you
see it you can instantly tell
what genre it is from. The
only problem with this
5. KATY B ON A MISSION
This is Katy Bs album cover for On a
Mission I really like it, the gradient colours in
the background suits the genre (dubstep)
well. I think this is the best example to want I
want to create. Since we are following Laura
Mulveys theory I thinks its important to
have Ava Manhattan on the front wearing
the corset, not only does this set in with the
idea of the male gaze but it is something
that she wears throughout the video
therefore it should be an easy visual to link
back to the cover and video. I think it will
also encourage our target audience (being
the majority of males) to buy it. I also like the
simplicity of this cover there isnt much on it
but yet looks appealing.
6. LA ROUX BULLET PROOF
La Roux isnt a dubstep speaker but
some of her songs have been
remixed by dubstep Djs. This is her
album cover for Bulletproof. I really
kike it in the sense that is fully shows
her face ,even though her eyes are
closed. I want Ava Manhattans face
to be clear because she IS a new
upcoming artist I want her face to be
out there. The graphics of this album
covers looks like something that I
want t do. I hope to brush up on my
Photoshop skills to achieve this
