Research section

I am going to be researching into different music videos, album covers and band websites to give me an insight into how artists advertise there songs as I am going to be designing my own album CD cover and website page for a made up band of my own.

Pictures like this iPod advertising inspired me to look more into doing silhouette style CD covers as I find it simple yet very effective. I looked at the iPod advertising music videos which are featured on television and thought the colorful backgrounds in contrast with the dark silhouette of the singer/band was exactly what I was looking for. 



The following screen grabs are examples of 3 different iPod adverts; Coldplay - Viva La Vida, The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go and Work Thats by Mary J Blige. All 3 videos have different effects incorporated within them which make them effective in their own ways.

This first video has the 'Sonic' feature. I really liked it as although the band were not totally blacked out, the video still had the same effect.

Viva La Vida by Coldplay















Shut Up And Let Me Go by The Ting Tings

This video created by Apple was another which inspired me as I like the bright block colours
