things to consider:
First you want to figure out a genre for your movie. Is it a Romantic comedy, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy, Drama, Action, ect… Then look at and collect movie posters of that genre. Consider things like colors used, font type, text placement, use of actors/actresses images, are they full body or close up, what is their gesture.

Conspiricy Theory Rocks
Composition
- Rule of thirds
- Golden Rule
- Rules of Design from Paul Rand the godfather of modern design
- Positive and Negative space
Things to consider:
We are using the format of an Album 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?
Project 2
Virtual Record Shop
description:
For this project you will appropriate images you find online through the process outlined below. The images and text you appropriate will be used to create a cover for an LP. This project is an exploration of appropriation, manipulation & layout and design. We will consider the meaning attached to images through context and our own expectations created through societal influence.
When manipulating your images in Photoshop, try using all the different tools in the tool bar (except the Slice tool and the History brush). See if you can figure out how to do something beyond what I have covered. Part of idea behind this project is to help you discover Photoshop on your own and also to help make you feel secure in just picking up a program and playing instead of being a afraid to try.
When downloading images for this project, Make sure you download the full size image!
Make sure to save your work often. Use the 'Save As' option to save a duplicate of your file (just change the file name). When you are finished with your image go to File --> Save for Web , and save your image as a JPEG, 100% quality. Do not check any other boxes. Save your images using this naming convention: yourname_01.jpg, yourname_02.jpg. (ie... jvonstengel_01.jpg)
The Process
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... ”
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use Photoshop to put it all together.
5 - Create 10 different Album Covers
6- Save your designs as explained above
6- Hand them in to Joe on your USB thumb drive
