Class work Photo review ( Drafting and Planning)

• Deserted warehouse                            

  • Buisness/ Professional characters           

• Mysterious setting amongst audience , die to low-key lighting/ dark lighting          

• Man at the front on your right is the main character ; man next to him on the second left is this partner in crime           

 • Man at the back has authority and may be the leader leaving the dirty work to the two younger men                                      

 • Females positions shows she has a role , her costume and expressions suggests shes may not be playing the innocent female role                                              

  •  Low-angle shot suggests they're all a powerful team     

This class work has influenced me on deciding how  photos could be taken of my artists, and how  they can be visually represented.

 

Friday Project (Drafting & Planning)

                                                               
My Friday project included a Cover page and contents page of artist Nas. It is Based on the two articles on the release of one his great albums(I AM NAS).


  Front Cover

This is why the main cover-line is titled "Nas paints a new album", musicians are regarded as artists.I have edited is album artwork into a paintbrush layout because this makes it look like it was actually painted and links to the edit to the main cover-line


Contents page 

The Contents Page has a heading "I am Nas" which is the artist's album title, it is written in a gold colour to represent power; which is why Nas went for the pharoah/Gold in is album artwork.                
 If i could i would change Nas to a more appropriate colour other than Greyscale; maybe Gold.

Rap City magazine cover draft (Drafting and Planning)

Here a preview of my magazine cover page. I definitely want to keep the blueish theme which links the masthead with the background colour; Besides i wanted my magazine to attract a male audience and the blue theme makes that possible. Part of attracting consumers to a magazine is teasing them with both catchy and jaw dropping articles and also letting certain articles stand out in colour or font; i did all of this. An example is "5amtez lets in on 5 LITTLE secrets" notice how a s for Samtez is replaced by a 5 to link to the 5 little secrets; also "little" is in caps to make you dealt whether the secrets are really little and uninteresting div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
