12 general rules to consider
Some Basics
Critique Part 3
Things to consider:
We are using the format of a CD cover so our viewer is already aware that the image has something to do with music and the music industry.
What we are looking at:
- Color
- Composition (placement of visual elements in 2d space...positive & negative space, rule of thirds)
- Image - subject matter
- Image - style
- Font - literal reading
- Font - style
Each of these elements becomes a "signifier" to the viewer. Which means from these visual elements we will try to make sense of the image. In this case what genre of music might this CD contain?
