Hey guys, I've finally came to my decision of who to work with, after consideration of working on my own or with a group I believe that working as a group will be more beneficial for us. So it is now going to be me, Eloise and Sav, by doing this we are able to generate lots of ideas that each of us come up with and put them all together to hopefully come up with a really impressive finished project!! We worked together at AS and without the technical issues it actually worked well, so I think this time around with more experience and knowledge it should work in our favour! I'll be sure to keep you updated! So getting further into it we have currently decided the artist we are going to use is Sia, with the song being Breathe Me, which was released in 2005 with the genre being a lternative/indie. We have decided to mix things up and make the genre of our own music video indie pop, I believe this will create a large target audience for our artist 'Savannah'.  Our art...

LOL!! So our task was to take pictures against a background which we could then use Photoshop in order to create an album cover, anyway the first one we took more seriously and then we got a bit carried away with what we could actually do and started making silly pictures, either way we still got a grasp of what using photo shop is actually like and what bizarre ideas we could use for any album cover. (We have tried to get the basis of one end of the music genre scale to the other, such as Metal, Pop and then to kids music) Below I have places the images which we as a team created through Photoshop, but i would like to emphasize they aren't serious (especially the middle one lmao)!!!         Below I have placed the original pictures so you are able to see what we have achieved from original pictures vs. the Photo shopped pictures.

Ok guys so we have been practicing shooting some CD cover shots, which we will then by photo shopping so we can get the real gist of what it entails to create a good CD cover. All the shots we took were on the same background, however they are all different poses, which was purposely done to represent different genres, and show how different genres present their style of music with certain iconic looks and themes. The pictures are listed below, I shall let you guess which ones go with what genre, feel free to comment lol;) On one of my next posts you will be able to see what we created using Photoshop, and you can see if you guessed the pictures to the genres correctly!

This one page pitch was uploaded onto a member of my groups slideshare for us to post onto our blogs, hence why if you were to click onto the actual slideshare it would say Sav's name, just to clear it up without any confusion lol.  So anyway this was our original idea before we chose our song 'breathe me by sia', which we thought would be the better option, and hopefully you will see why as our production progresses.
