This is the first draft for my album cover as part of the digipak that I'll be creating. To remain relevant with the video, I used a location where I filmed several parts, and the clothes that I am wearing are the same. I had chosen quite an urban location as I wanted the cover and the video to appeal to a working-class demographic. The fonts that I had chosen are quite plain because I wanted the cover to be simple and minimalistic, and my name is bolder than the rest of the text, mainly to promote the artist myself).
I used Pixlr to edit the picture. Firstly, I put a duplicate layer over the original photo, then added an old photo feature which I think makes the setting look bleaker. I then used the rubber feature to erase myself from the duplicate image, so that I could superimpose myself from the original photo onto the new image, and by doing this, it makes me stand out from the background.

Subsidiary Task research - Magazine advertisement deconstruction
Recently, I have started recording for my music video. I have also started flicking through magazines and searching the internet to collect research for my subsidiary tasks, which are to create a magazine advertisement and a digipak for an album. Here, I have deconstructed an advert for The Horrors' Strange House using pages on the Mac and have tried to pick out several of the key conventions used in magazine advertisements, and why they are used.
