Music Images.












Brainstorming.

This album cover is marketable to me because it contains many "eye-catching" components such as the use of color and smaller pictures in order to create a larger one. One specific example would be how the artist used what you would think was a top of gate and made it into a masquerade mask/marquee to highlight Michael's eyes. The text in this album is used to attract your attention to the name of the artist. Also, the title dangerous has a very lurky, un-easy background to compliment the word itself. I can take these concepts and incorporate them into my own design by using many small components and little details to create one larger picture.

Hyperallergic Write-Up.

In the article "Not Your Average Selfie" by Hyperallergic, Lauren Wright took a fairly spontaneous selfie in the Corcoran Galley of Art's during a long installation day. I enjoyed viewing this selfie because of the piece of art that is included in it. I think that the selfie portrays a less modern feel and shows you a throwback crowd in action. I would take this concept and incorporate it into my collage by finding a spontaneous object and taking a selfie with it, I think that will add lots of life to a initially boring snapshot.
