Reflection on Hardcore Till i die album cover


HARDCORE TIL I DIE (2008)

Hardcore Til I Die (2008)- HTID-Hardcore till I die was founded by DJ Hixxy who is a well known and popular Hardcore DJ which helps promotes raves. HTID is easily recognisable with its angle logo and ‘Hardcore til I die’ font that are involved in the rave scene. TID holds many rave events across the UK.


Mise en Scene
Positioning: The image is positioned high in the centre to create a mood of flying. It speaks to the audience by grabbing its attention by the famous iconic symbol of the ‘angel’. This symbol of the angle creates a fierce proud status for a hardcore raver.
Colour: The bright yellows and oranges colours create this feeling of warmth surrounding the image. The electric sparks coming off the angle emphasize and present the style of hardcore genre as something electric and exciting.
Image: The image being shown is very seductive. The image presents the CD as exciting and fun for this genre of music by the models dance pose and relax facial gesture. This album seems to create standards as high quality, it’s simple but complex There is no narrative to this front cover to help persuade its audience.
Framing: framing of the angle dominates the album cover, which portrays the iconic status of a Raver.
Setting: The setting looks almost like solar system because the image seems to be in front of sun. There are tiny stars to represent the sky. This creates meaning that this album is out of the world and brings attention to is audience that this album is like no other. It must be good if it’s comparing it standards as something from out of this world.
Title/ font: The title is positioned on top of the image. The font looks very bold which connotes a strong tone of the genre of music. The bubble font writing gives an individual and distinctive style which its audience will easily recognize when they see ‘HTID’.
Target audience: However it is clear who its target audience are, which care HTID fans. The is a tag line ‘ THE BEST OF HTID’ which helps let the audience know what they are buying as well as attracting them to buy this album because they know that HTID is well known
