Poster for album

Album Art Final Choice



This is the single cover for 'I'm Still Here'. I used Photoshop to lighten the picture and I also to change the contrast to make it look more eye-catching. I really like the effect that it has created. I asked people which single cover they prefered and this one came out as the most popular. They saud that they liked the shades and the soft focus, and that they thought the font suited the artist well.



This is my artists album cover. I used Photoshop to lighten the picture and I used a colour block to draw attention to the artists name and make it bolder. I feel that the album art is eye-catching and that the shade of red also really represents the romantic image we are trying to convey. It also would attract the eye is it is on a website as a small jpeg on the screen. The red makes the cover much more eye-catching and is therefore more likely to draw in people to view the album.




This is the back cover of my album. Threr is continuity used with the candle image which is used to keep the theming. It is also in keeping with the romantic image I am trying to put across. I have also continued with the colour scheme using the red, black and cream colours.

Album Cover Final Idea



Tuesday 20 March 2012

Today we converted the video to Quicktime and it has been uploaded to YouTube. Overall I am happy with the finished product. I feel that it has imporved in terms of the quality from the first draft edit in January and I also feel that the candle shots in particular have worked really well.
I do feel that it could have been imporved as in some arenas there the lip-sync doesnt seem to match quite as well as it could, and I also feel that it could have been improved by including a little more narrative.
However the audience feedback we have had to the music video has been very positive.

Website analysis - Lawson

The band Lawson are a band that are currently preparing to release material. The band use social media very heavily to promote themselves and attract peoples attention to their music. The bands website has a large band logo across the top of the website in the centre.

The website then has links to the bands tumbler, facebook, Twitter, YouTube and myspace pages. This gives people looking for information on the fans ways to find out anything they want about the band as well as being able to listen to their music. Underneath this their is a link to download a studio recording of one of the bands songs. This gives anyone visiting the site a chance to listen to the band and potentially become a fan of the band an helps them to potentially achieve a following of fans for when they release their first single. The website also features a the latest cover video the band have uploaded on to YouTube. This again gives people a chance to listen to the bands music and see whether they like the bands musical style.

It could be better if there was more information. This website relies heavily on the other social network pages to give people information rather than having information on it.
