Magazine Advert Process

Here i have added another layer, this layer was white and i have made it very transparent and placed it behind the layer of the texts and the actress. I also then placed a JPEG image of my Album front cover so when people are drawn to the add they can see what the album looks like when they go off to purchase it. ........ i then started placing the text on the add. I used lots of different fonts as this goes with the many colours that the images bring to the add. ........ here i have taken more pictures of the animation creatures used during filming and also a picture of the actress within our film and put these objects on a different colour back ground so i could get rid of the background easier (Green Screen Effect)i then placed these images around the actress in the middle as she then seems like she is thinking of these characters, in her own little dream world ......... this is the second stage of my process. I took a picture of some cotton wool that I used during my animation for the clouds and created a cloud effect around the outside borders of the advert. .......... I started off by deleting the original blank white layer and creating a box colouring it in a shade of red then made white circles and put them in order and regular leaving the same distance between each one creating a professional looking poker dot layer

'Green Screen Photo's'

These are the photos i have taken to be used within my CD digipak. i took them on different coloured backgrounds so i could remove the background easily. Using a 'green screen' technique

i used this font because it is a vintage acoustic style of wrighting which i think goes well with the theme of the album and the genre of the music. i used this font because it looks personal as if the artist has put her heart and soul in to this album. It is also very extravagant i used this font for the 'i forget that i need you' behind the image on the front cover, because it is simple and easy to read when the text is in masses and repeats it's self. I used this font because it is bold and modern and this is used for the name on the album front cover as this shows the audience that she is a bold modern artist, and also to be practical and stands out from the background.

Tour of my album cover 'Proto Type'

This 'proto type' I created to help me with planning my finished album cover sleeve. The scale is 1:1 as then I could measure straight off this proto type on to photo shop for certain sizes and to be able to tell where certain panels will be corresponding to the other panels. it was an old way not using much technological know how, but gave me a big help in the process of my album production that I am very proud of.

Album Cover Analysis: 3 'Florence + The Machine'

Florence is a very unique band artist and almost has her own genre of music, soul-inspired Indie. She has a very ‘hippy/ vintage’ style to her dress and her designs to her accessories. The front cover has Florence standing very elegantly up against the vintage style curtain, with lungs hanging around her neck like a necklace. This is a very serial image and sums up her image, the name of the alum and the way she is to the rest of the world. The album is called lungs these are not cute or relate to her audience. Her target audience has tried to reach as wide as possible. She is a young girl who is shown to not have a care in the world because of her chilled relaxed look on the album. But the serial-ness shows that she thinks very differently about the world than other people do for example, the lungs round her neck are so powerful and euphoric, it seems like a living breathing Creature to me, like a fellow person, and Strangers and Charm seems like it came from Lungs, but at the same time feels like it's not part of lungs. The lungs being her first album is also showing that her lungs that she uses for singing have got her this far and have crafted this album for her.
On the back of her album she continues the lung theme with a chalk board type of effect on to the black background. This image looks very detailed and has numbers pointing to certain parts of the lungs. I think that these numbers relate to the song titles located beneath the image, showing which part of her lungs hypothetically created that single. This is a very deep image that makes you think how much Florence is proud of her album and her ‘lungs’

Album Cover Analysis: 2 'Eliza Doolittle'

Eliza Doolittle is an artist who I like to think is very similar to our artist in our music video, and she has used similar concepts to our music video using lots of random colourful objects, it looks like she is trying to send a message to her audience that she is taking over as lot of the objects are famous landmarks. These famous landmarks have been ‘infected’ by the Eliza Doolittle fever as everything has a twist to it such as an ice cream splattered on the famous London gherkin and many other childish objects are used to indicate the Eliza takeover. The text on the front cover is very bold and just shows the dominance that she likes to show, the text is also on a banner been dragged across the sky by a toy aeroplane. I think she uses the childish theme because her music is very upbeat, happy and give you a good feeling. The theme also appeals to her target audience, which I think is young teens, vintage. But the images used in the album cover show that the target audience could be even younger. Genuinely the target audience is much wider than expected, as I believe that the album artwork is saying buy me and escape to Eliza Doolittle’s utopian island.
The back of the cover is still in the sky with the artist surrounded by the names of the tracks all in different fonts showing her creative wacky vintage style, this continues from the clothes that she is wearing also, very stylish and vintage. I think this style is pointed towards the fashionable young trend, but can also be seen as an idol to look like and be like so the old who want to be like Eliza can be young and fashionable if they buy this album.

Album Cover Analysis: 1 'Lenka'

Lenka is a very upbeat cute pop artist. Who seems to be very creative with all her videos and songs, this creative collage affect continues through out and on to her album cover panels. The album cover is full of bright colours and playful shapes, connoting the fun playful music she creates. Her name is revealed as part of a branch of a tree surrounded by homemade scenery of clouds and rain and the sun, this album artwork reminds me of my music video with our animation, which I think enhances the correct decision of linking our genre of animation with the genre of our artist and song.
The front cover is created very well, as it folds out to become this poster that continues the design across it. With a tree growing all the way to the top with lots of creative imaginative childish imagery, such as small animals, love hearts and colourful shapes. This continues the childlike theme to the design of the album. Another connotation to this appears on the back panel of the album cover, where the artist herself is eating a strawberry lace which is a very childish innocent image. The love hearts clouds and plants continue on to this panel as well, with the artist looking up in to the top right hand corner in to the clouds showing that she is possibly day dreaming and that the album is her dream come true. This corresponds to her music video ‘The Show’ she is experiencing many things that she wants very quickly saying that she should just enjoy what ever comes her way, and at the end she has gone to sleep in her bed whilst singing.
