Digipack - Back Cover Inspiration

This lyric cover for the '8 mile' album has gave us great inspiration when producing our lyric cover. This back cover includes a focus on the artist in a location of his music video, although Eminem is not a great link to our genre he provides great inspiration in the way he represents his image and genre. The aspects that attracted us to this lyric cover is the use of a location shot of the artist as it portrays the artists image and genre accurately.

How do you consume music?

When? Do you have a daily music routine? Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another?

Music is a part of my daily routine especially whilst I am traveling. Music helps me to just zone out of current problems and just relax. In addition I like to listen to music whilst I am getting ready or just going around daily tasks which either accompanies my mood or is used to help lift my mood.
I believe a faster type of music is better to be listened to before an event to help get you enjoyable and excited.

Gigs, Car, School?

The main place that I wish to listen to music is when I'm moving. If its walking the dog or driving to school whilst I As well as this, I enjoy listening to music on planes as it helps make long 32 hour journeys feel like a couple hours. I believe older songs are better to listen to in the car when you are with ur friends who you have previously and just sing ur heart out.
How? radio, computer, ipod, tv, live, dancing, homework, getting ready ie doing other things - background wallpaper

The main type of device that I would listen to my music from is through a phone/ipad/laptop and usually connect this to a speaker of some sort. Sometimes I will connect my phone to my speaker in my bedroom, in addition to this since working in the electrical department of work i have become the stores DJ and just listen to what i want all day at work. 

Most of the time I do listen to my music individually, however when I listen to my music in the car it is usually shared with another person. My music isn't really an acquired taste it just has to be good.

Why? What are the pleasures associated with music consumption? What does it offer the audience and what needs does it gratify?

Normal pleasures that acquire listening to music is either joy or sadness. Sometimes I listen to music to block out anything if I am upset or in a down mood, however if I am really happy I also enjoy listening to music to accompany my mood.
