My Poster...

Here is my poster I created in order to promote my artists single and album release.

For the poster I decided there would need to be pictures of my artist on my poster , so therefore I have included a montage of pictures of my artist on the poster which shows a clear link between the poster and the website. The link between all three tasks isn’t has clear however the pictures that I have included in both my website and poster were taken from my music video and have been edited in order to create the ‘pop’ style image that I was going for. Although I did not make a digipak I included a picture of the front cover of my artist single release in order to promote and show that I have thought about what is to come next. I also include the release date of the album conforming to standards that the fans want to know when to go out and buy the album. Also it includes single’s feature titles which I have included after I researched style models of real life media products. Also I form to the conventions that many posters have links to the popular media player, iTunes providing links to this site telling their fans where to buy their album from and download.

Here is a draft of my music video...

Digipak.

 Here are several templates for digipak's I have found online.

I like the idea of using a 6 panel tube pocket, then including a leaflet in the pocket with lyrics and more pictures of the artist like the one pictured below.

Radioactive Soundtrack Editing

 G A R A G E B A N D

I have been using garageband to edit my song. I had come across problems finding enough footage to fill the whole song of 3 minutes 50 seconds and not loose interest nearer to the end of the song. I imported the song into garageband and split the track and took out a verse in the song, then merging the left cuts together to make a whole track. This worked very well. The clips go together nicely basically not even noticing that the song had been edited. The song now stands at 2 minutes 40 seconds.

Practicing Photoshop...

I have been working on my photoshop technique using images to edit and change which will help me when it comes to creating my digipak.

You can manipulate the images to make them change shape using transform although I have learnt this technique I think that it will not suit my digipak because it is very unusual on a digipak to change the shape of your artist face for instance.

I have played with the colourings of the image to have a certain effect. From the previous image it now has vibrant colours that stand out. This technique will come useful when creating my digipak because it it important that the artist will stand out so when in a shop the buyer will be instantly attracted to the CD. 

There are also different filters that are available to use when photoshopping an image. These could come in handy when creating a background for the CD cover.
