Group Critique #1: Period 6: CD Album Cover

Open up your visual journals, choose one photo to critique. Download the image to your website, write 2 paragraphs where you write about the following:

  1. How professional is the album art? Could you see this being actual real album art on Spotify or Apple Music? Could you see this being on the cover of a vinyl LP?
  2. What’s missing to make this a professional looking CD album cover?
  3. Is the image a square, or a rectangle?
  4. How well does the text reflect the mood of the album?
  5. What could be done to the text to make the image one complete package?

Find the person who took the photo and share your respectful critique with them.

You will be graded on a 4 point scale, same as a photo challenge. You will be graded on:

  • The case you make for your critique. Do you offer supporting evidence or are you just stating an opinion.
  • Number of examples you give for your critique. If you say the image lacks an interesting subject, what would you add to make the subject more interesting?
  • How respectful your tone is. This is a critique that will be read by the artist? How supportive are you of their work or are you just out to tear it down?

Critiques are due before Wednesday. Publish your post then paste it to Google Classroom. Check to see if you see a thumbnail shot (Correct!) of your site or just the generic Adobe Spark log in page.(Incorrect!)
