Creating the logo using logo maker

Firstly we had to choose the type of logo to create. We chose the theme of 'arts, entertainment'.

Secondly, we had to choose the type of crown which would suite our product.

Finally we chose the gold crown as it fitted into our colour scheme of our CD (front cover) and advertising poster.

Choosing Print Products

Today, we chose the possible images which would be used for either our advertising poster, CD digipac and CD digipac. Our main aim was to choose the image with the best camera angles and lighting. These were the following images we chose:

(White Background)

(Black Background)

Studio

Today, we decided to take shots of both the artists involved in our music video. Our aim was succeeded as we decided to make the rapper urbanised and the singer urbanised but in a softer look. We attempted many medium shots to commit to the plan that the main CD cover will be organised in this way. Overall, the images we took were successful and the time was consumed well and organised.

We took a shot of the studio to indicate how space we was working with whilst filming

We chose a variety of shots which looked effective and professional. We indicated for the artists to dress urbanised and we achieved this goal. Both artists were dressed in a similar colour of blue and of the same shade. This makes our colour scheme easier, which will obviously consist of blue. We experimented in the studio, by using a black and white background. In some of the images the white background looked effective. However, the black blended well with the blue contrast of the actors clothes. We costumed the rapper (Tyrell) in a ring and other accessories to make it obvious that he was the rapper figure. Whereas, the singer (Nicolas) was smiling and rather cheerful, hopefully this allows the audience to understand which character is what role. We allowed both the artist to appear confident by looking straight at the camera. Both the rappers found the photo shoot highly satisfactory.

 

 

Before the actors appeared to the photo shoot, my group took images in order to see if our images looked professional. Here were the following images:

Plan for CD/ ADV

These images were plans on how we wanted our print products to look on our digipac and advertising poster.

Drawing Of CD/ Ad

 

In order to generate the idea of how our CD covers Kulsoom drew an example of how the artists would be placed on the cover of our CD and advertisement.

We decided that most CD front covers and advertisements have a medium shot of the artist, regardless if there are two artists placed on the cover

Concept- This shoot aims to show the relationship between two boys who are very close and do everything together, including going after girls. One of the boys, who is the rapper, is more of a rough character and the other is more sensitive. This is empathised through the models dress codes. To show the closeness of their relationship, as well as the difference between their characters we have a medium shot of both of them standing close to each other. In relation to the dress code, the rapper model has to be dressed in an urban fashion to fit into his role. Whereas the singer is dressed less urban.

Organisation

Today, my group decided to organise the studio times. We decided to book the studio at 3pm until 4.30 on Friday 25^th. We know that we are aiming to do excellent photography for our music cover and advertisement poster. Therefore, our photography aims to show the relationship between two boys who are close and do everything together, including going after girls. The rapper is a rough character and the singer is more sensitive and romantic. This is shown in the dress codes. To show their relationship we have chosen to use a medium shot of both of them close to each other. In relation to the dress code, we decided that the rapper has to be dressed in an urban fashion to fit in with his role. Whereas, the singer is dressed less urban and casual. In regards to the models on the CD cover and advertisement, we were confused on whether to use the rapper or not. However due to the fact that we had researched other artists. For example Bow Wow ft. Omarion (below). We came to the conclusion that Tyrell (the rapper) would be joining Nicolas (the singer) on the cover and the advertisement. We also came to the conclusion that our CD cover and advertisement will be continuous with the same or similar photography. In regards to the logo, as in ‘Top Models’, the word ‘top’ can be associated as superior or royal we decided to use a crown. However, our teacher informed us that we cannot take a crown off Google images. Therefore, we will be looking into drawing a crown and scanning it to see how it works with the logo. Today, I also completed the task of doing the call sheet which registered the studio time/date/models and the story line for the photography.

 

Creating Our Font

From the research we obtained, as a group we realised that a bold title would fit in with our genre. We analysed different fonts on Photoshop then realised that no other fonts fitted in with our genre. Therefore, we created an original font online.

Feedback Of CD Cover & Advertisement

Today, my group presented our plan of our CD and advertisement to the class. However, I was unable to attend this feedback session as I had an exam.
The key pieces of feedback we found were:
- We decided to go for a bold font on our CD digipac and advertising poster
-If we have a plain black background, we have to place a CD print on top.
-Overall, they liked our ideas.
