Change of Font

In the end, I decided to not use the fonts on Picmonkey on the cover because it made the cover look more cheap. By using the text on Photoshop, it allowed me to make the text bold so it was eye-catching and noticeable. It is essential for the title on the Cd cover to be bold as this is partly what is going to attract the audience. A bold title will stand out from the other Cd's in the shop and will draw the audience to look at the rest of the CD. Also, by using Photoshop to do the font, it would allow me to keep the same font throughout the magazine.

Creating my front cover for digipak

I decided to use the same image that I used for my website as I thought that it would be easier for the

audience to recognise the artist as they would have been familiar with the image from the website.

I started to edit my picture on photoshop as you  can see in the image above. I chose the colour red as the albums name is called 'Words From My Heart' and a heart is associated with the colour red so I thought it would be a good match. Also, because the artist is mainly wearing blue and red and blue mix well together.

After researching and looking at other album covers, I realised that my album cover was quite dull and boring with the white background so I tried to change the background colour but realised that I had to cut the image out and paste it back onto the page in order to do so. I did not want to do this because I wanted to keep the yellow shading around the left side of his head and by cutting the image out I would of had to cut the shading out as well.

To overcome my problem of the Cd front cover being dull and boring, I decided to use the photo editing site called Picmonkey to edit the picture and make it look more appealing.

 I chose to use this background as it gave the picture a more glorifying look.





 I was very happy with this background in the end as I thought it made the cover look a lot more professional than it did before. I decided to use Picmonkey to edit the text on there as well as they had more creative styles of fonts on there and i could use the features to make the text underneath the 'Words From My Heart' bit turn upside down to make it look like a reflection of the writing.



Ancillary Task- Homepage of Website

This is the link to my website which I have made for my music artist called Lemar Johnson.

http://kadiishabbz.wix.com/lemar-johnson-
I  used the website maker called 'Wix' to help me create it.

I was having a bit of trouble publishing my site so just incase the link does not work here are some print screens of  the official website.

Creating my website

 

I have used Wix to create my website.It was quite simple and easy to use once you get the hang of it. I chose a layout that I wanted to use and then filled in the pieces of information I needed.  I added some of my own things on there like the writing at the top that says Home, photo's video's etc. I have uploaded 2 pieces of music from the artist on there using a music site called soundcloud. This took me quite some time to do as i had never used soundcloud before. I also uploaded the artists latest music video on there. I have nearly finished my website, I just need to do a few finishing touches to it.
