Today we analysed some film posters using our new knowledge of semiology (the study of signs). Some good ideas were offered and it seems that the class are getting to grips with these new theories. As your coursework production will be generating a CD cover for an artist of your invention, we need to apply these theories to CD cover artwork. Below are three CD covers, take time to analyse them and identify the semiology used to compose the images, you should now be able to identify all three types of sign with good reasoning. For extra analysis you could now include thoughts on representation Write your responses in a word document or powerpoint and submit digitally through the 'ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION' area on the home page. This is due in by Monday 17th September.

The 1st cd cover is Jessie j, the image of Jessie of her in black shows anger, like she wants to get her point across its simple but still effective. The second cd is also very dike which would to shower anger or aggression I would say it was a rock cd by its name 'Metallica' it has no images of people on but a logo. The third cd is Taylor swift and very bright and pretty it gives a happy vibe and shows she is a girly girl

The first two CD covers are very dark, which could mean anger and that the music on this CD is going to be loud and aggressive. But the other cover has bright colours and flowers which are the opposite to the other two, this means the music will be more up beat compared to the other ones.

In the first poster of Jessie J it comes across to me as rocker type looking. If i just glanced at this poster the first things that would come to mind would be heavy rock etc due to her black hair, black lipstick, black nails and black clothes. If she was a girly type person black would not be the colour to express that. The second cd seems very mysterical as it only shows a logo. But considering it is black and goes by the name metalica i would also think that was some sort of rock cd. In the third cd she looks very very girly and innocent ans that type of thing. The reason for this is firstly the flower she is holding, i think flowers would represent girliness and that sort of thing. She is also wearing a yellow floaty dress in which is quite a bright and expressive colour. And to top it off the smile she is produicing comes across as very cute and innocent to the audience which also comes across as girly.

The 1st cover of Jessie j, shows anger because of her black clothes this is because she it shows she doesn't care about anything. The second one is also abou anger and agression so this means it must be to do with rock. The 3rd on is a happy one because she is smiling and also the background is bright so it means it must be a happy album
