LIIAR/Textual Analysis Poster 3

Blink 182 - Neighbourhoods

The last album poster I decided to look at is promoting the album called 'Neighbourhoods' by the Pop Punk band Blink 182. This is another poster I decided to look at as again it conforms to my chosen genre - meaning I can take into consideration the features that have been used on this poster and could then possibly use these features myself on the album poster I will be creating for my artist. I also wanted to look at this poster in more detail because I have a keen interest in this band and wanted to understand why they have used certain features in more detail. Below you will be able to see that I have analysed the album poster and identified all of the conventions that appear on it, I have also looked at each convention in some detail and finally I have also completed a LIIAR analysis of the poster to enable me to understand how certain features have been used to appeal to the intended target audience.

The first thing I decided to do was annotate the poster to ensure that I had found all of the conventions on the poster and would then later be able to talk about them all in more detail to see how they have been used to appeal to the intended target audience. Here is the poster I have annotated:

Once I had annotated the poster I then decided to create a presentation where I would talk about each of the conventions in more detail and how they have been used and presented to appeal to the intended target audience, but also I decided to look at how the features that have been used on the poster are similar to the features that have been used on the album and how continuity has been created across the two texts. 

Here is the presentation I created: 

After looking at the conventions that appear on the poster in detail I then decided to complete a LIIAR analysis so I would again be able to understand why certain features have been used, what meaning they have and how they have been presented towards the intended target audience. Once again, I have decided to to create this analysis on a presentation which can be found below.

LIIAR/Textual Analysis Poster 2

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown 

The second album I have decided to look at is promoting the album called '21st Century Breakdown' by the Punk band 'Green Day'. I wanted to look at this specific poster in more detail as it conforms to my chosen genre to a certain degree as this band is part of the Punk genre and my chosen genre is Pop Punk, but I also wanted to look at this poster in some detail as I thought it looked quite interesting and different to other album posters in the sense that it has essentially used the front cover of the album and then just added extra features to make it look like a poster and to ensure that it informs the audience about the album. Below you will be able to see that I have analysed the poster in some detail and identified all of the conventions that appear on the poster, I have also looked at each convention in detail to see how they have been created to appeal to the intended target audience and I have also done a LIIAR analysis of the poster.

Again, the first thing I decided to do was annotate the poster to find all of the conventions that are presented on it which I would later be able to look at in more detail to see how they appeal and engage the intended target audience. Here is the poster I have annotated: 

After I had annotated the poster and identified all of the conventions that appear on it, I then decided to create a presentation where I would look at each of the conventions in some detail to understand how they have been used to appeal to the intended target audience, but also I have looked at how the the features on the poster are similar to the features that appear on the album and how continuity has been created across the two texts. 

Here is the presentation I have created: 

Once I had looked at all of the posters conventions in some detail I then wanted to complete a LIIAR analysis to enable me to understand the poster in some more detail especially in relation to how it had been created to appeal to its intended target audience and what the main meaning behind the poster actual is. I decided to create this analysis through the use of a presentation which can be found below.

LIIAR/Textual Analysis Poster 1

Angels and Airwaves - Love: Part One and Two

The first album poster I have decided to look at in some detail is for an album called 'Love: Part One and Two' by the Alternative Rock band 'Angels and Airwaves'. I have decided to look at this poster in more detail because the genre conforms to my chosen genre to a certain degree, but also I am a fan of this band myself and wanted to look at how they promoted their album in more detail as I have listened to this album myself, so know everything that is on it and how it sounds, but I was just interested in how the band promoted this album. Below you will be able to see that I have analysed the poster and identified all of the conventions on the poster, I have also looked at each convention in detail and explained what they are and what they actually do for the intended target audience and lastly, I have also done a LIIAR analysis for the poster where I was able to see how the poster conveyed certain messages and appealed to the audience in the way that it was intended to. 

The very first thing I decided to do was annotate the poster so I would be able to identify all of the different conventions that appeared on the poster which I would then be able to look at in more detail when I began to analyse them. Here is the poster I have annotated:

Once I had annotated all of the conventions on the poster, I then needed to begin looking at each of the conventions in detail to understand how they were being portrayed and presented towards the intended target audience and how they have been set out to appeal to the audience, but I have also looked at how the poster has similarities to the album that it is promoting and how this continuity has been created. I was able to write all of this information down through the use of a presentation which can be found below.

Here is the presentation I created:

Once I had looked at all of the conventions on the poster in some detail I then wanted to complete a LIIAR analysis of the poster so I would be able to understand how certain things have been presented towards the audience and what the meaning behind the whole idea of the poster is to try and engage its intended target audience. Again, I have decided to show this analysis through the use of a presentation which can be found below.

LIIAR/Textual Analysis Album 3

Paramore - Riot!

The last album I am going to look at is called 'Riot!' by the Pop Punk band 'Paramore'. Again, this is another album which conforms to my chosen genre which is one of the reasons I decided to analyse and look at it in more detail, but another reason I decided to look at this album is because I feel as if there is a lot happening on the album at once and I wanted to look at it in more detail to see what it all meant and to find out if there was a meaning behind any of it. Underneath you will be able to see that I have analysed the different conventions of the album, looked at each panel in detail and also given a LIIAR analysis of the album which I found has helped me in understand the meaning behind the album more and why it has been presented in a certain way.

Just like before, the first thing I decided to do was identify the different conventions that can be found on the album which I decided to present on a slideshow. Here is the slideshow I created:

Once I had annotated all of the different conventions on the album, I then decided to look at all of the panels included on the album in some detail so I would be able to understand why certain features have been used on each panel and what they do in trying to engage the audience. I have also looked at how the album conforms to its genre and how it appeals to its intended target audience which I have again decided to show through the use of a presentation.

Here is the presentation I created:

When I had looked at all of the different panels on the album in detail I then decided to do a LIIAR analysis of it which enabled me to look at the album in relation to how it appeals to the audience and what meaning the album itself has. Again, there are some similar features in this analysis which I have previously mentioned because of the similarities that runs across the whole of the album which has again been demonstrated through the use of a presentation which can be found below.

LIIAR/Textual Analysis Album 2

Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds

The second album I am going to look at in some detail is 'Lights and Sounds' by the Pop Punk/Alternative Rock band 'Yellowcard'. I decided that I would like to analyse this album in more detail because of the fact that this band used to be in the Pop Punk genre, but then later changed their sound to Alternative Rock - either way, I personally like and generally listen to both of these genres, but I wanted to analyse the album in more detail to see how and if the artist had changed when they changed their sound. Below you will be able to see that I have analysed the different conventions of the album, looked at each panel in some detail and also given a LIIAR analysis of the album which I think has helped me in learning more about albums and how they are presented and portrayed.

Similar to before, the first thing I decided to do was identify all of the different conventions of the album which can be seen in the slideshow presented below. Here is the slideshow I created:

After I had looked at all the various conventions included on the album, I then decided to look at them in more detail and explain the effects they have on the audience. I was able to do this by looking at each panel in some detail to see how certain features have been presented and how the album has been made to appeal to its intended target audience which has been demonstrated in a presentation that can be found below. 

Here is the presentation I created:

Once I had looked at the different panels on the album in some detail I then wanted to complete a LIIAR analysis of the album to ensure that I had looked at the album in as much detail as possible. Again, a lot of what I have previously mentioned has been included in this analysis due to the fact that the majority of the features on the album have been used for the same reasons. This LIAR analysis has been demonstrated on a presentation which can be found below. 

Here is the presentation I created: 

LIIAR/Textual Analysis Album 1

Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree

The first album I am going to be analyzing is called 'From Under The Cork Tree' by the Pop Punk band 'Fall Out Boy'. I decided to look at this specific album in more detail as it conforms to my chosen genre and I personally like it and enjoy listening to it myself and wanted to analyse the album in more detail as it was something that interested me. Below I have analysed the different conventions of the album, looked at each panel in detail and also given a LIIAR analyse of the album which has enabled me to learn a lot more about this specific album, but also albums in general. 

The first thing I decided to do was identify all of the different conventions that appear on the album which would help me when I begin to analyse the album more closely. I decided to put this analysis on a slideshow which has been presented below. Here is the slideshow I created:

Once I had indicated what all the different conventions of the album were, I then decided to look at all of the panels that are contained in the album in more detail to see how certain features have been presented, but also to see how the album has been made to appeal towards its intended target audience and how it conforms to its genre. Again, I decided to put this information on a presentation which can be found below.

Here is my presentation:

After looking at the different panels that appear on the album in some detail, I then decided to do a LIIAR analysis of the album and a lot of the things I had already mentioned in the previous presentation have again been mentioned in this LIIAR analysis because they are similar in some ways. Like before, I decided to create this LIIAR analysis through the use of a presentation which can be found below.

Here is the presentation I created:

Digi-Pack Template

After doing my research on digi-packs and album posters, I then needed to began thinking about how I would create and design my own digi-pack. The very first thing I had to do before designing and making any drafts was to get a template of the digi-pack I would be using. As I previously mentioned, there are an array of different layouts for a digi-pack which can all be seen in the image I have provided below, but the layout I have decided to go with is the six panel digi-pack which will include a CD and a DVD. I decided to use this layout as it is the most commonly used layout and is conventionally for the Pop Punk genre, so I will be able to look at an array of existing products which will help me when creating my own product, but also the six panel digi-pack will enable me to express my artist in the way I want as I will have plenty of room to add images of the artist to help the audience understand who she is as an artist and hopefully they will enjoy her music, listen to her and will also be intrigued by the images that will be used on the digi-pack. Underneath the list of different digi-pack layouts (which can be found below) I have provided an image of the template I will be using to create my digi-pack with and this template will help me in trying to figure out where everything will be placed and how it will all fit together. I was able to get these different images from the website for my college as all I had to do was go onto the 'Media Studies' course and I was then able to download a template which I would be able to use when constructing my digi-pack. 

Here are the images that I previously mentioned:
