Changes

Over the past few days I have been carefully observing my final designs for my CD back cover, I have decided that the appearance isn't as effective as it can be. I know I am capable of achieving a better design. So during the past few days I have been redesigning the Album back over, I have produced a variety of designs and then merged them all together to create my final design. On the next post will be the different designs I have created and then ofcourse the finished final copy.

Timing: of the Lyrics

(0.12) Do you think of her (0.16)
When you're with me (0.19)
Repeat the memories you made together (0.22)
Who's face do you see? (0.26)
Do you wish (0.30) I was a bit more like her? (0.33)
Am I too loud?, (0.35)
I play the clown, (0.37)
To cover up all these doubts. (0.41)
(0.42) Perfect heart, (0.44)
she's flawless (0.45.5)
She's the other woman, (0.49)
Shining in her splendor, (0.52)
You were lost, (0.55)

(0.55.5) Now she's gone (0.58)
(0.59) And I'm picking up the pieces, (1.01)
I watch you cry, (1.04)
But you don't see (1.05)
That I'm the one by your side. (1.09)

(1.10) Cause she's gone, (1.11)
In her shadow is it me you see? (1.16)
Cause all that's left is you and I (1.20)
And I'm picking up the pieces (1.23)
She left behind (1.25.5)
(1.27) I found a photograph (1.29) behind the TV (1.33)
You look so happy, (1.35)
are you missing (1.37) the way it used be? (1.41)
And I have changed this room around more often lately (1.47)
It's clear that me (1.49) and these four walls (1.51)
Still know it's hers and yours (1.56)
Perfect heart, (1.58) she's flawless (1.59.5)
She's the other woman, (2.02)
Shining in her splendor, (2.07)
You were lost (2.09) (beginning of make- up smudging)

Now she's gone, (2.12)
And I'm picking up the pieces (2.16)
I watch you cry (2.17)
But you don't see (2.20)
That I'm the one (2.22)
by your side, (2.23)

Cause she's gone, (2.26)
In her shadow is it me you see? (2.30)
Cause all that's left is you and I (2.34)
And I'm picking up the pieces (2.37)
She left behind (2.39)
Are we liars (2.41) in denial? (2.43)
Are we smoke without the fire? (2.46)
Tell me please, (2.48) is this worth it (2.50)
I deserve it (2.51) Cause she's gone (2.55)
And I'm picking up the pieces (2.58)

I watch you cry (3.00)
But you don't see (3.02) that I'm the one by your side (3.05)
Cause she's gone, (3.07) In her shadow is it me you see? (3.12)
Cause all that's left (3.14) is you and I (3.16)
And I'm picking up the pieces (3.20)
She left behind (3.22)

EXTRA OHH & ARHHS: (3.22-4.03)

(3.24) Ohh I’m picking up the pieces
(3.27) Broken heart
(3.31) who will save them?
(3.32) who will save them?
(3.36)Yeh I’m picking up the pieces
(3.40) Ohh I’m picking up the pieces
(3.43) Somebody save him
(3.37) Somebody save him
(3.39) Ohh ohh
(3.51) Owhh Owhh

Designing Album Front Cover

Here are the stages of my Album Front Cover, in the first 3 stages I experimented with the layout of the text for the cover:

Here is stage 1:

 Here is stage 2:

 Here is stage 3:

 Here is stage 4 where I have captured my model posing with curlers in her hair to show a 'house wife' type of theme:

 Here in stage 5, I have brightened up the image and changed the contrast to improve the appearance of the image:

 Here is the 6th and final stage where I have changed the auto levels and contrast of the image to create something unique and different. To perform these editing techniques I used Macromedia Firework editing software.



Designing Album Back Cover

Here is my Album Back Cover where I captured a natural expression on my models face. I throught the emotion shown on the back cover would warm the hearts of the target market because it could make think that it reflects on the songs in the album, happy and joyfull which is what most customers look for.

Here is stage 1:

Here is stage 2 where I have cropped and brightened the image, through Macromedia Fireworks Software:

 Here is stage 3 of the template of what the back of the album would be like, including the song lists:

Here is my final stage where I have faded the image and put it in the background:



Designing Single Cover

Here is the single cover of the song I am using in my music video.
Below are all the stages:

Here is stage 1 where Krysia Knox (model) is sat at a dressing table with the song title written on the mirror with lipstick:

 Stage 2 has been embossed around the edge of the image, I used this effect as an experiment to see whether it makes the image more attractive and effective:

 Stage 3 I decided not to use the embossing frame so instead I brightened the colour of the lipstick written on the mirror to ensure it was clear to read for the target audience:

 Here is my 4th and final stage where I darkened the image and used contrasting effects to make the image look more appealing and attractive:

Designing Music Album Advert

Here are the stages of designing my magazine advert of my music video.

Here is stage 1 with a basic photo of Krysia Knox doing her make-up:

 Here is stage 2 where the contrast and brightness has been enhanced to improve the appearance of the image:

 Here is stage 3 where I have began adding a banner and text:

 On stage 4 I have tried adding text without the banner:

 Now on stage 5 I have brought back the banner and changed the text again:

 Here stage 6 I have been experimenting on lay out and colour of the text:

 Here on stage 7 is my final copy:
