PHOTOGRAPHING MY CD DESIGN
Post_16
13/10/2015
I took quite a few photos in the 2 hour session, but i do have a favourite.
I like this picture for a few reasons. One, it already looks quite professional. and it could serve well as a background for my CD cover. I also like how the top of the image is brighter and a little blurred and as it goes down the image sharpens and becomes a bit clearer. I found this in the underground gallery on St Stephens Road in Norwich.

Today we had practice making fonts in Adobe Photoshop.
We started with a guided task. First we had to find an image of a beach on Flickr.com, this was our background. And I then added a white layer which would have the word "HAWAII" embedded in it.
Below is the finished design.
We then were given an independent task to create a gold font, this included changing the colour, stroke, texture and more from the original standard font.
Below is the finished gold font.

Song: Watch Me
Artist: Silento
With the final image i am aiming for a colourful and immaginative type of artwork.The style will be illustration or a photo of a person/people in a illustrated form and the genre of music is Pop-rap.
My idea does match the immaginative side of Silento's official artwork. Below is the official CD cover design.
I will be designing my CD artwork using Adobe Photoshop, I will use it for my font as well.
I think my CD cover will fit a pop-rap style as i will make it look up-beat and exciting.
There isn't much of a story behind my idea, just a few ideas to bring into one.
I will be using props on my CD cover artwork as i want to avoid copyright.
I havn't decided on a particular location to photograph my props yet but wherever i choose it won't be ore than 20 minutes away.
i will probably need around 10 shots to be able to work with, but i won't necessarily use all of them.
Below is my moodboard, this is to put a few of my ideas into one place. This will give you a better idea at what sort of design i am working towards.

CD "WaterMelon"

06/10/2015
Today we had our first attempt at creating a CD album cover. And with this we had to pick a style of music for the artwork to represent. For example i went for a pop-rap style cover.
So to achieve this i made the front of the case quite bright and full of colour, i also tried to make it memorable.
With the back i added the title of the artist and a photo of him, i thought to do this as i have seen many pop-rap artist use this style cover.
FRONT
BACK
My CD artwork

06/10/2015
Dimensions
Front - 12cm by 11.9cm
back - 13.8cm by 11.9cm (with 6mm or 0.6cm margins)
For my CD artwork I will use two images plus backgrounds and fonts. One on the front and one on the back of my CD case. So I will use 2 pages.
I will try to aim for a illustrated design or a photo of a single person.
My target audience is aiming for fans of pop-rap, this includes artists like Jason Derulo and Jay-Z.
I intend to make my artwork colourful and with an interesting design.
The song i will do my artwork for:

Album covers
Post_11
06/10/2015
In this blog I will be looking at different album cover styles and showing examples of them with their individual information.
Band Photo
Genre - rock
Release date - 27th July, 1979
I think the cover is relevant to the target audience as it gives a "hardcore" feel to the CD which is one of the things rock does well.
I think it is successful, I like it because each band member has their own personality shown in the photo.
The font is used to good affect at the bottom of the cover and has a sort of "hellish" look.
Singer photo
Genre - Pop/soul
Release date - 26th May, 2014
If you think of Sam Smith as a soul artist then this cover definitely appeals to the target audience. But it doesn't have a feel of a pop album.
I think its a bit too simple and plain, but it does match the music that Sam Smith is known for.
The font is simple and has a smart look to it, I think they have used the font to introduce the smoothness of Sam Smiths music.
Illustration photo
Genre - Pop
Release date - 20th September, 2013
I think this is relevant to the target audience as its bright, loud speaking and looks fun, which is what pop is all about.
I really like the artwork as its bright, interesting and full of colour. Also the illustrated tattoos shows of the album very well.
They have used the font as a bold clear introduction for Jason Derulo. The tattoo font is also used well to keep the theme of the album.

Do you like the cover artwork and why?
Yes, I like the covers artwork as it is different, funny and its a memorable image, when people are shown this photo they will remember it. And its a unique photo; it doesn't really look like a traditional CD cover.
Does it matter what the album cover looks like?
No, not necessarily what it looks like, but I think the artwork definitely needs to represent the music on the CD, and give a unique touch.
JME - Integrity
When choosing music, would a special edition or extra artwork entice you to buy it?
It depends on whether I really like the first edition of the CD or not, for example if JME released a special edition i would buy it.
How do you buy most of your music?

CCN media video
Post_08

Before the CCN media radio advert (post_05) we had to create a CCN media video. In which we focused on social media used by the college (e.g. Facebook).
The first step of the video was to create a storyboard for our video. We split the storyboard into different parts, which were used to show off particular parts of the colleges media, such as, one part was used to look at how CCN uses Facebook, so we filmed the their Facebook page being visited by a student, and showing how they interact with the CCN Facebook page, for example liking and commenting on posts, events and images.
Then we had to consider which camera shots to use for each segment of the video. What i mean by this is varying filming points so each part of the video didn't look the same as the last part, this gave the video a lot more variety.
The next step was to put the storyboard into a visual video. Most of the camera work was done indoors using a computer screen as our main point of interest, for example we filmed a student watching a youtube video uploaded by CCN on the computer. We also filmed a student accessing the college Twitter page on their mobile device.
The final step of the video was to edit it, we were aiming for each scene pieced together with transitions, with background music.
Below you can find our finished video.

Another task we were told to complete is produce some primary research (research provided by yourself). To do this we came up with a questionnaire of 10 question based on Media Access to ask the rest of the class.
We used a range of different questions from: "how old are you?" To questions like "what devices do you use to access media?"
After gathering the information we were told to put the results into an info-graph, which is basically a page of information, diagrams and graphs all put into one piece.
Below you can find my finished Info-graph.
