Today

We're continuing to edit our CD and Website designs, I am looking at backs of CD covers so that I can see what the back of a CD cover generally looks like. 


Here is an album back that I found, This shows me that it had a barcode and the record label's logo. It also has the track listings but for our song we wanted it to be a single so there is no need for a track listing. 


I sorted out the background of the Polydor symbol on the CD back, as the background was white and it didn't look good.


Here is a screen grab of the changed CD cover parts:

Friday 9th December

Due to Matt's absence in todays lesson we can not advance any further with our website or CD cover and design without further research in what aspects need to be included in the production in both pieces of coursework. Today I will research a style of images that will be suitable in our web page and design so I know what to do when I go and take the images myself.

Keeping A Theme In Our Work

This is our website design so far, we have chosen to follow the design of the travel brochure as it is relevant to the theme of our music video, CD cover as well as the web site. Keeping the theme consistent throughout. The colour scheme will also be consistent throughout the three area's of our coursework, keeping the work relevant to the band and conventions and genre.

The editing has started

Today i have upload the my music video that we filmed last weekend. At the moment me and Ryan are editing the video

Making our music video, band and website integrated into social networking

 To make our website more integrated into modern advertising and marketing we are going to have links on our website to The Jam's facebook and twitter's official pages.

This will make the website more personal to the audience as they will be able to interact with the artist through the internet if they choose they want to. Adding a modern aspect to our website that was not around when the record was released.

80's travel brochure inspiration

Inspiration for our website design has come from travel brochure's from the 1980's. The design for the travel brochure is very similar to our website design and is similar to what we want our final website to look like. However, it has a lot of empty space that needs to be filled with aspects such as active links, video's tour dates and images of the band and surrounding area in which the video is filmed in. This will allow for our website to look interesting and a lot more interesting than the image above.

Progress of the CD Cover

This is our CD cover in progress of what i have designed so far. I have so far put the name of the band, song name, bar code their and record company. We are designing the CD cover as a 70s postcard/ holiday poster. I only have to put some picture of where we are shooting/setting of the music video(Malice) and it shell be finished.
