also for the inside pages, the rule of thirds have been used to separate the information and keep it tidy without making it look like just one large block of text. this is conventional as many media products use the rule of thirds to layout objects on the page as it can be used to direct the audience's attention into a particular part of the page]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:11 UTC

images and very minimal text used in the design, the images are all placed centrally besides one, which is placed in the right third with the track list that is placed in the left third, this organisation is typical for many media products as it allows the text to appear to be less and not just one big chunk, also it allows the text to be easily read and separate from the image. the use of the rule of thirds is very conventional and the positioning of the images also follow the conventions of form.]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460949 oncblurr https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460967 The image of the artist is central and a large mid shot on the front page, this helps to advertise the album and the artist through her image which is conventional for the pop genre of music. the image is conventional for the genre and the costume that the artist is wearing is also conventional for the genre as the clothing is fashionable a desirable currently.]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460967 oncblurr https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460977 The images used in the digipak all all of the artist and are used to advertise the album with these images, however the shot types vary from close ups on the front which highlight the facial expressions of the artist and allows the audience to be able to relate to him more whereas the image on the back and the inside use mid shots and long shots which allows the audience to get a sense of his style and see his costume and body language , these shots of the artist are somewhat conventional in the way that he is displayed through the use of a variety of shot types allowing the audience to view the artist easily whilst looking at the digipak.]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460977 oncblurr https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460986 the colours used for this digipak are very well thought out and contrast well with one another, also they are quite bright which fits with the genre of music, it also makes the other aspects of the magazine stand out such as the text, this is due to the contrast between white and the blue. these colours are conventional for the genre as they are bright and they reflect happiness, success and unity rather than being dark and dull, also these colours fit well with the overall design and look stylish, another convention of the genre.]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:43 UTC

the colours used are quite bright which is conventional for this genre of music as usually bright colours are used to draw the eye and to also keep the happy nature of the genre and the themes of happiness, success and unity that many of the songs portray. these colours draw the eye of the audience and stands out when placed next to many of the other digipaks from the genre with their more basic colour scheme.]]> 2017-07-11 09:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178460991 oncblurr https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178461023 This digipak follows many conventions of form with the colours, layout and the image being all very conventional when linked to the pop genre of music, however the typography goes against conventions and stereotypes of gender as typically a serif font would be used for a female artist whereas a sans serif font has been used in this example, this shows that some conventions always need to be followed however this doesn't mean that all conventions need to be explicitly followed and sometimes, as long as it fits designers go against stereotypes and conventions to alter the image of the artist and to also present their products in a different way]]> 2017-07-11 09:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178461023 oncblurr https://padlet.com/oncblurr/o2zozy1lh6w1/wish/178461049 This digipak follows almost all conventions in the ways of the colour scheme, images, layout and the typography that is used in its design, this shows that it is effective to follow as many conventions as possible whilst still keeping the design aesthetically pleasing so it attracts an audience of many people. the sans serif font is conventional for this genre of music and is typical for the gender of the artist making the style conventional and aesthetically fitting in with the design of the digipak. the colour scheme is conventional in the way that it used some bright colours which are conventional for the pop genre of music, but also with a mixture of darker colours that contrast well with the brighter colours which are more stereotypical for a male artist with more neutral tones and darker colours]]>
