Bcm110 - Album Design Synopsis
ALBUM COVER DESIGN CONCEPT SYNOPSIS:

“It’s the dream, the passion, the success that makes the paper worthy of chasing…”
“Melien paper chase” is an album designed for those Hip Hop fans that are willing to adapt to a new style of rap music performance, DJ cross MC performed by the one artist/DJ. Hence the space theme that portrays the style and technique possessed by the artist differing from other artists.
The space theme concept was chosen for this album in order to signify the “out of this world” description to highlight the skills and technique Dee Flo posseses. This space theme concept was inspired by Kid Cudi’s two albums, “Man on the moon” and “Man on the moon II”. (image 1 and 2 below) Both of Kid Cudi’s albums had a spacey theme which was very dreamy, mysterious and can be easily identified by viewers that it is not earth, giving the idea to use space to describe the skills and difference of the artist from others. However, Kid Cudi’s two albums is based on a serious subject.
Therefore, instead of going too serious on the subject, the focus point was decided to be about hustling for money in life with a sci-fi effect which tones down the seriousness in the subject and on the same token still be able to deliver the message to the fans with a different spice. Kanye West’s album “Graduation” (image 3 – below) was another inspiring album cover art work. It also had a spacey theme, rather than using stars to outline space, Kanye used cartoon animation and a cartoon character that represents himself which inspired the use of the combined effect of animation and real images which fitted right into the foucs point that was decided upon.

    Nowadays, many rap and hip-hop songs have evolved, or rather devolved, to simple beats with lyrics that encourage violence and drug use and lack a true meaning. Logic, on the other hand, is ?distinguished by [his] confidence, passion, versatility, raw lyricism, intellect, and a Frank Sinatra-like swagger? [footnoteRef:1]. Logic?s identity is evident through not only his lyrics, but also the musical composition of his songs. His style mimics the old school style of rap, and has drawn the praise of many in the hip-hop community, including stars such as Lupe Fiasco and Nas. In all, Logic's unique use of rhythm and timbre throughout his mix tape "Young Sinatra Undeniable" reveals his thoughts,…

    Bataile Conceptual Art

    Black Flag for Georges Bataille is a conceptual art work that was created in 2012 by artist Skylar Fein and is now on display in the New Orleans Museum of Art. The piece is located in the right hand second floor gallery. This work is successful, in my opinion, because of the ideas the artist is bringing the viewer to question such as, the way we define human value over economical value in America. The work is a large black american flag with white stars and where there would normally be red and white stripes are black stripes with white words. The artist used an additive technique to build up the work from smaller boards or blocks glued on top of one another. Each stripe alternates between a continuous statement and blocks of advertising…

    It’s used as a platform of sending information to a inevitable destination being the consumer. During this process of reaching it’s audience the source travels through a series of elements that are referred to as code’s. These codes are what determine the audiences response to the source and then re-enforce the intended message being delivered. “a code apportions the elements of a conveying system to the elements of a convoyed system, the former becomes the expression of the latter and the latter becomes the content of the former” ~ (Eco, U. (1979). A theory of semiotics). Codes furthermore have a unique ability to affect the individual’s in the mass audience differently based on their nature of being interpreted. Codes such as colour and framing are able to demonstrate particular theme easier, where based on cultural development and familiarity these elements can be much broader in their interpretations. Where codes such as symbols can bring upon a specific meaning based on historical context, ideologies and education. It’s these codes that have an ability to attach unique interpretations of individuals. The Wonder Years ‘The Greatest Generation’ album artwork offers a unique proposal where using broader methods of codes are used to dictate what specific interpretation is delivered through these more complexed semiotic codes such as symbols. With this, the artwork is able to…

    One of the most important aspects of a television series’ popularity is the theme tune. Having a theme that is immediately recognisable to audiences can go a long way in influencing its success. Whether it simply be a melodic tune or a lyricised song it strikes a memorable chord in the collective brain of the viewer and brings back familiar memories of said television show. The mere mention of a well known theme can send fans into a frenzy and with it more people can be informed of a series’ existence making it even more popular and well known. The theme from The Big Bang Theory is perfect example of a theme being instantly recognisable. The first melodic sequence immediately reminds the listener of the show, it’s content and it’s characters.…
