Brief/Session/Document Title; The Rising Of Djent
Design and create an informative & educational pack aimed at metal music lovers aged between 16-30 explaining the uprising of the heavy metal movement ʻDjentʼ. The pack needs to cover every aspect of Djent music and its influences from progressive metal and how itʼs developed since emerging in 2010. Design a publication split into appropriate sections and put together from well thought out and planned research. This needs to be accompanied by other printed deliverables, integrating all aspects of the pack to make up one overall product to be distributed in music shops/guitar retailers/Metal clothing stores.
Background / Considerations Consider how the packs sections will relate to the other deliverables? How will your research inform a visual response to create limited edition prints and album artwork? This needs to be derived from well conducted research into some of the areas below. -What is Djent as a genre/musical style? -Bands that have influenced the movement. -Subgenres, Notable scenes, Culture, Characteristics & Development. -Time signatures, Polyrhythmʼs, picking styles, digital recording and the rise of drum machines.
Mandatory Requirements - How will youʼre research define the sections of the publication? Are you going to conduct interviews with bands and musicians? Are case studies going to be completed on certain aspects of Djent?
Deliverables -40-page publication. -Compilation CD and Sleeve. -Guitar Tablature/Riff mini-zine. -Plectrum Pack/String Pack -4 x A1 limited edition screen prints.
