In today's lesson, we decided that we would stick to our original theme and colour scheme within our CD cover and magazine advert. We searched the Internet to attain ideas. There were many images on google of adverts and digi-packs, however we wanted ours to grab the audiences attention;this is when the blog came to our attention as the screen grab that we had recently analysed and applied to our blog of Osman doubled, looked to the group as a brilliant cover of the digi pack as it showed us the theme we were trying to represent;a confused, lonely character who is stuck in a parallel universe as the black background represents a never ending black hole.
Peers passing passing commented that it looked very good and creative as they understood the concept. As a group we wanted to create a series of four panels which would want the audience to buy it as it reflected the nature of the song. Secondly, on the list of to-do was to apply the text. The text on Photoshop did not grab our attention,therefor we began to research different font styles. We came across a website, called; http://www.dafont.com/, we found that this website enabled us to use the correct font which corresponded to our music and style of genre. However, we had a problem downloading the text that we wanted as we wanted to apply the artists name and the song name. We took time figuring our different ways to do this but none of them seemed to work. We then transferred the font the Paint by print screening the page and erased the excess material which we did not need leaving just the font that we did need.
We then applied this Photoshop in the top left hand corner of the image above. This was our 1st panel completed of our digi pack . Our next panel was also a screen grab which we used in order to compliment the 1st one . this had no font/text on it as it was just an image of Osman looking bewilded in the distance. The 3rd panel was an image of Osman with a black background however we did not just want the image we wanted the lyrics of the song inserted on top of Osman's white t-shirt in black font to contrast with the white costume. The fourth panel was the last panel which would be the back of the CD cover. This had to be typical of any CD cover as we had to apply certain conventions of CD back covers for example it had to contain a bar code and copyright details.
We also included within our back cover the other songs by Calvin Harris that would have featured within this CD. Now that was completed we had to focus on our magazine, for our magazine advert we had to create ideas which would be different from our CD cover. We then research the original Calvin Harris to get some ideas. We found this image which as a group stood out to us.
We decide to use this image as a template and create our own based around our own colour theme balck and white. The reason why this stood out, is because the head of Calvin Harris has his techno glasses on and within our music video Osman also wears his own techno white glasses. This then helped us visulise the final product of our magazine advert.
