PLANNING - Where have my ideas come from?

Ideas & Thoughts!

Initial Main Thoughts And Ideas:

1. Use a white background with black text.
2. Use an angled image of Karma from her neck upwards of her looking down illustrating the male gaze theory described by Laura Mulvey.
3. No image of anything on the back panel.
4. Writing on the actual CD. 
5. Inside panel should contain another picture of a rose.

Reasons for these ideas:

• I had looked at various previous student work as part of my research and had realized that the simple Ancillary pieces which use white backgrounds are more effective, in addition I already decided to use white, red and black as my three main colors meaning I needed to choose between the three for a background color and I feel that white will appeal to our specific target audience better.
• The other decisions I have made above are all linked to one influence and that is the research I done on the Ancillary work of urban pop artists. This was crucial as I found interesting conventions such as writing on the CD instead of images, this will help me use less pictures and keep it more professional. I understand I must use an image of the rose somewhere as part of synergy but mainly looking at Elli Gouldings products i felt as if a low gazing image of Karma would be perfect for the cover of both digipak and advertisement.
