Photoshop CD Cover Tutorial

This video shows different techniques etc. to use on photoshop to make a good album.

Trent Vale Location - George

I have recently contacted Trent Vale Infant School about using their hall for our music video, it has a stage and is very similar to College House's hall so it would be ideal, their Headmistress has said that we should be able to film there next Wednesday (7th December) but is just going to check with the Governors before she fully confirms. She is going to phone tonight about it.

IWEB TUTORIAL


We found this tutorial for Iweb on youtube, which showed us how to use Iweb to create our own layout etc

CD Cover Evaluation - Florence and the Machine



This CD cover got 5/10 due to the simplicity of the cover. It would not take very long to make this due to it only being pictures and text which would not involve much effort because it wasn't edited much. It also has a lack of information e.g. fine print, record labels etc. The inside photo is also ridiculously similar to the front cover showing a lack of variety.

Miles Kane's Website

This is Miles Kane's website, it is good due to its easy to understand format and font whilst making it look very bold and stylistic whilst doing so. It has a distinct colour scheme (Red, black and white) which makes the website nice to look at; it also incorporates videos and images of Miles Kane so it doesnt look boring. Therefore achieving appropriate integration of illustration and text e.g. videos and images. Headlines e.g. 'LATEST NEWS', 'GIGS & EVENTS' etc. are larger than other text to add variety and make sure they stand out to draw attention. There are different links to his Facebook page, record companies and youtube videos, showing that he is keeping up with technology so he can keep in touch and gain more fans.

previous students website - Kate Nash

This website got a 5/10, this is understandable due to the text and layout not being very easy to understand, the format is uneven and has a majority of white space around it, this was done on photoshop. me and george don't think that photoshop would be appropriate  for the website due to the white space being around the edges. it doesn't to look professional or formal enough whilst also taking a lot more effort, this contributes to the fact that it wouldn't fit into Miles Kane's image.
