Example poster

This is a example poster, something that i hope will be similar to my poster, in the respect 

poster

this is the poster that advertises our single being out on the 21st february, the idea was to make is graphical and bright to attract our audiences eyes. 

This is my digipack that i made for the single Baggy Trousers, its fun, its loud, its happy and bright.. which is the definition of the band..

front cover- the front cover is the repeat of the advertisement poster, keeping to the pattern. It has four images on it, that have shadows behind, signifying their background as characters in the band, each shot of each of the boys in the band reflects on their personality. And the significance of the color usage exaggerate who they are, they each have bows, and each of these bows are different colors, that represent the personalities of the character. For example that top left hand corner is Jamie, who is posing to the camera, his bow is pink that is exactly him, not i the homosexual way but in the 'i'm a ladies man way'. the right hand top corner is Nick, introduced as the main character of the band, he is orange, the representations of orange are bright and cheerful, with a little bit of mystery.

The bottom left hand corner is Luke, his is a yellow background reflecting on his cheerful and social personality, the fact that he is laughing in the photo shows that he is approachable. The last image on the right hand corner, is of tommy, which is green, i feel the green represents happiness and kindness.

The font on the front cover is a purply blue color, a rather light color, that shows their uniqueness and boldness. The effect of the 'z' falling of shows that they are unique and have a bit of an edge to them.

above this image is the inside image, so that when you open it up you see the images of all four of them, but in a graphic way, each of the photos are tinted the colors that their bows are, this image reflects on an 70-80's styled film.

The enlarged image beside this is of the boys together on a bench, this is a good image because it shows the friendship between the for boys. i decided to make it so big because then when the audience open the cd it reveals a light hearted image... which can be rather effective.

The orange image bellow this is of two of the band members looking up at the character, this could be classed as humorous and a sign of the friendship, i feel this image works in the digi pack because it is so corny, and i feel this is a good thing because you might say that the band takes the mickey out of corny groups.

the back cover is of Jamie in his mums outfit. As i feel this is possibly the best image idea of the music video, so it is quite sweet to have this as a backcover, as it finished of the music video, it can finish of the cd cover.

making of my digipak

This is a screen shot for my digi-pack.. as you can see i have made them two look similar, keeping a consistent pattern. 

making of my poster

This is a screen shot for my poster, this is evidence of my usage and time that i took make the poseter. 

using final cut pro

These are two screen shots that are evidence of the process that i went through to complete the music video.. before i was used to final cut pro this looked really hard to use, but now that i am getting the hang of it, it looks a little less confusing. 

Rough Trade..


this is another possible record label that we are likely to use Rough Trade Records is an independent record label, based in London, United Kingdom. It was started in 1978 by Geoff Travis.

Rough Trade are two independent record shops based in London, UK.

The first Rough Trade shop was opened in 1976 by Geoff Travis in the Portobello Road district of west London. In 1978 the shop spawned the famous Rough Trade Records, which was to go on to be home to bands from The Smiths to The Libertines. In 1982 the two separated and the shop remains an independent entity from the label, although links between the two are strong. At the same time the shop moved from its original location on Kensington Park Road round the corner to Talbot Road. In 1988 a shop opened in Neal's Yard, Covent Garden. At various times there were also shops in San Francisco (on Grant St., then Sixth Street, then Haight Street), Tokyo and Paris. They were eventually closed following the rise of music sales on the internet. Rough Trade replaced these stores with an online music store. In 2007 they also opened in Dray Walk, Brick Lane in east London.

In 1990, Nirvana played a gig at Rough Trade Records in San Francisco with TAD, Sampling songs soon to be on the Nevermind Album.
