Finished Second Advert



This is our finished second advert. We did originally plan to add another section being the 'noodle adicts' groups, however after we filmed this we decided against using it. Our advert was already 26 seconds in length and we couldnt of got rid of any more to fit that bit in, and also we feel it might of confused the audiecne as it wasnt one hundred percent clear. We feel this is short and to the point, and with the extra bit it would of been too much.

Creativity :)



This is my attempt at doing a creativity exercise at making an album cover out of random words and a random image. I explored options within photoshop to create a presentable peice, and use creativity within in the font i chose. I used a black and white themed font to combine with my image.

Creativity Exercise

Today's lesson with Mr Ford, we were asked to create a cd cover using photoshop. The intructions were:

1. Generate a name for your band by using WikiPedia's random page selector tool, and using the first article title on whichever page pops up. No matter how weird or lame that band name sounds.

2. Generate an album title by cutting and pasting the last four words of the final quote on whichever page appears when you click on the quotationspage's random quote selector tool. No matter what those four words turn out to be.

3. Finally, visit Flickr's Most Interesting page -- a random selection of some of the interesting things discovered on Flickr within the last 7 days -- and download the third picture on that page. (Even better: Click on this link to get a Flickr photo that's licensed under Creative Commons.) Again -- no cheating! You must use the photo, no matter how you feel about it.

4. Using Photoshop (or whatever method you prefer), put all of these elements together and create your very own CD cover.

Mine turned out like this:



Throughout the lesson I developed many skills using photoshop. I was also able to experiment with all the differernt tools which exercised my creative mind.

My band were called 'Plot' and the Album name was called 'Nothing behind the Geometry'.

On the whole, I found this exercise fun as it was so random and we didn't have to think of a name.
