Things to avoid:
- Watch out for Cliches'
"Light bulbs for 'ideas', speech bubbles for 'discussion', globes for 'international', etc. These ideas are easy to come up with but how is your design going to be unique when so many other logos feature the same idea?"

- Avoid Gimmicky Fonts
"When it comes to logo design, keep your font choices classic and simple and avoid over-garnishing"

- Don't make the logo too busy
"Keep it simple"

- Be inspired but don't steal ideas - logothief.com

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?
