Music Companies Logos: Why I Didnt Use Them
Many adverts and CD Albums have ratings, quotes or opinions from music companies such as 'Q' 'NME' or 'KERRANG' on their adverts. I decided in the end following my influence of the Vaccines adverts and being true to my lyrics not to include the music companies logos and their opinions because I wanted to keep my advert minimal, I wanted it to seem like the audience could make their own opinions about my band and their music and not follow the opinions of the music companies and everyone else. This again relates to make lyrics of people making their own opinions and not following society's codes and conventions, giving them the opportunity to be different.
Magazine Research
These magazine articles are front covers for NME and Q magazine. Q magazine are known for their trio of colours, using 3 colours at most on each of their adverts. I have followed this convention by using three colours in my magazine advert of black, white and grey.

Digipack Research: CD Covers
THE LIBERTINES - 2004:29 AUG - THE LIBERTINES
Background knowledge: This second album is actually based on the relationship of the two members of the band shown in the picture; Pete Doherty and Carl Baral. They have a very rocky relationship they describe it themselves as 'like a roller coaster.' Pete and Carl are renounded for their partying, drinking, drugs sex, rock and roll. They are also known for rebelling against the industry and not following conventions. They are just out to have fun. Therefore this album cover connotes everything they stand for.
Analysis of the album cover: The front cover show the two members of the band Pete and Carl, they are shown in uneasy bright colours which create the feeling they are on drugs. They are always holding the props of a cigarette and a plastic cup full of beer, representing they are on drugs with their dilated eyes. This album truly represents the band however critics argued it reflected badly for rock-stars and created a bad image for young influential audiences. Because of this they were told to change it which we all know they didn't this made negative and positive press. Positive in which that is what the band is known for being controversial and rebellious but also negative in which some people lost respect for the band.
The fact the Album has 'Parent advisory' posted at the very front of the album very clear to see shows how rebellious they really are.
