Further changes

Next lesson i plan to make further changes to the back of my album cover and my flyer, this is because i feel they are not quite fitting in with the theme of the band. I will be changing things such as colours, text and editing of images. Hopefully i will have completed this by the end of this week but i feel that what i have created so far is really starting to develop well.

Changes to album cover

I have decided to make a few changes to my album cover and will be doing so to my poster. I have done this because i feel that my album cover needed a few changes, i have changed the colour and added a border. Here is a picture of what i have created:

I feel that this is a development to what i first created and is possibly better, but i still would like to change the sizing of the text '' Fight for this '' this is because i think it needs to be bigger to have more of an effect on the viewer, as it is the name of the album this need to be empathized.

Research of album covers

To support the work i have produced for album cover for my additional projects i have decided to provide some research, including images of existing album covers that have a similar resemblence to the one i have created and also were i have got any ideas from for mine. Here is my first example:

• This is busted album cover, i feel that the bright colours used really bring out the style of the band and this also makes the actual album really stand out to the viewer. The editing that has been used to create this image of the band gives a very rock style image and this creates a good feel for the album. I have taken influence from this album and will interpret similar ideas into my album cover.

Here is an another example of an album cover that has influenced me:

• This is Kasabian's album cover, i have taken some influence from this because of the bold text and bold colours that have been used. Although this album cover does not have an image place on it, i still feel that it represents the theme and style of the band to viewer. I really like this cover as it is simple, yet it really suits the type of band that Kasabian are.
  

My projects so far

So far i have created both my additional projects in photo shop, what i have created is reasonably good but i will carry on developing them throughout the coursework time scale. Here is an example of what i have created:

• This is my Album cover
  
  

• This is the back of my album
  

• This is my poster /flyer
  
  
  

Overall i feel that this is a good start but i will as i said earlier i will be devloping this projects by changing the style of texts, adding more effects and so on.

Picture used for my projects

As i explained earlier i have had to use different image for my additional projects. I feel that this has worked out reasonably well as the picture i have used still fits the profile of the band '' Not advised.'' Here is an example of the image:

My friends Tom, Callum and Liam kindly volunteered to be in this picture. This picture is perfect for my projects as they really do look like a band when edited into the poster and CD cover for my projects, hopefully my projects will turn reasonably well.

Picture used for my project

As we are not allowed to use any copyrighted images for our projects i have decided to take a picture of Friends posing to be the band '' Not Advised '' this is the image that you see in my additional project.

Poster

I feel that my project would look better as a flyer instead of a full size poster, this is due to the fact that i feel the more simple the project is the more effective it is. I also feel that the image i have used would not work if it was bigger as it would worsen the quality of the picture. Another reason why i feel i cannot do a poster is because of the layout i do not think that any think would be effect around this image, i think it would look over crowded. Yet i am still open to other ideas and this idea may change.
