Lyric Analysis - Idea pitch

Bruce Springsteen 


In class, we each did our own Lyrical Analysis of a song and I got "Streets of Philidelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. We each had to write down brief ideas on how we think the storyline of a music video for our chosen song should be and any ideas we thought of we could explain to the class.

This is P!nk's Digipak for her album "The Truth About Love".

The album's front cover (side 3) on the outside depicts a photo of P!nk (the artist), her name, the name of the album and a promotional sticker. It has been designed this way to promote, firstly the artist as it shows both her name and a large photo of her  and also her name and the albums name are in large bold text that is clearly visible on the left hand side.
 
The back cover (side 2) of the album has a listing of all of P!nk's songs which are on the album and which disc they're on, All the companies that were involved in producing and distributing P!nk's album and the date her album was released.
 
The fold in cover (side 1) includes a large photo of P!nk covering almost the entire side. I believe this is done to again, promote the artist as she is covering the entire side of the Digipak.
 
The 4th and 6th sides on the inside, much like Olly Murs' album RPRT, both show half of the album covers name. It is designed well as the font of text, style and colours are continuous throughput the Digipak, making it look neat, professional and work well with the genre of music P!nk produces.
 
The  middle cover of the inside (side 5) also depicts a photo of P!nk, again relating back to Olly Murs' album.
 
P!nk's Digipak have many similarities to Olly Murs' album even though they are both listed under different genre's of music. I believe that Digipaks hold the same conventions regardless of music genre, but alter in the style they are presented.
