For English/American cultural week we are going to make in the high school, we are going to work in Visual Arts with collage, designing a music album cover.

Personal vinyl collection. Look that there are also more minimal or abstract designs

First of all, look at home if your parents have vinyls or cds to look for examples and ideas.
Think about a music group/singer you like, she/he/they has/have to be American or English.
Think about that artist/s, the colors he/she/they use/s, music style... this is like we worked with color and the symbolism while making the color visual maps. ¿Se puede ver la música?
You will have to design, in a squared format, (formato cuadrado) the cover for an album (cd or vinyl). It could be an imagirany album, one redesign or a design cover for a specific song.
You should use the collage technic, making first of all a sketch (on your notes/white page) and later the final one with collage (on a bloc page).
At the music album cover, there should appear the name of the group/singer and the name of the album or song.
You will also have to write (when uploading the final photo) your inspiration, what is the album/song about, what is the singer style and why did you choose that design (why the colors you used, typography...).

COMPOSITION

When we create something visually, we are designing to make the piece good seen. We are designing taking into account things like balance (equilibrio), visual weight (peso visual) and composition (composición). We have already worked with proportions (when we draw the mannequin).
