A2 Advanced Portfolio - CD Cover

In order to develop our CD/DVD cover for our digipack, it was first important to ensure that we had some strong artistic influences from the world of the drum and bass genre. We looked into a series of drum and bass producers, most of which given to us by Ben who is the only one who is an avid fan of drum and bass music.

After looking at these album covers we took the styles and designs and tried to apply them to the planning of our music video; expressing the idea of the title 'Mainline'.
These are the very first ideas that Ben came up with very early on, each relates and expresses the ideas conjured by the title of the track.















After this, we put the ancillary task to one side in order to focus more on the planning, research and construction of the music video. After its completion we once again turned our focus back to the ancillary tasks and were able to create much stronger priducts.
We we able to look at the music video and develop its postmodern theme by using it to construct the CD, DVD and Magazine Ad in keeping with the script, stlye and more importantly our artistic intention.

The design actually derives from the music video itself, strengthening the relation and the relevance to the music video thus making it intertextual. The way the image of the villain is edited creates a strong marketing tool as it raises a series of enigma codes that makes the perspective buyer question the content of the video and of the relevance of the man on the cover. The left side of the image is the back cover of the inner booklet.
