Final Album Cover

Front Cover

I think the front cover is really effective as the direct address, coupled with the monochrome image but with the tattoo in colour brands the artist well and will therefore create public interest.

Back Cover

the shot connotes the power and aggression of the artist through the basbeall bat prop and the low angle shot. The text further connotes the harshness and gritiness of the artist and his music.

Music Video!

Here is mine and Matt's version of the video

In this video we have included
-Effective and striking iconography
-There is a clear progression of emotion from the artist from calm and vunerable to angry and psychotic.
-The editing is quite aggressive and unconventional which reflects the performance style and essence of the track
- An unusual use of Brechtian theory in a music video
However i do think that i would make some changes, for example atempt to increase the pace of the edit as the video progresses, and have a larger range of shots with the male model (Matt)

By giving the audience all these opportunites to find out about the artist, as well as the contacting function on the site, we have allowed the audience and the artist to develop a rapport with eachother, allowing the audience to relate to the artist easier and therefore increasing his popularity.
