Josie Quigley-Jay's (2016) A2 Advanced Portfolio: CD Cover

This is the second design I've tried for my CD booklet and I much prefer this one. I think this design suits my target audience much better and creates an artist image. Its also much more realistic as the album does not just focus on one music video for one song on the album. This is the design I'm going to develop further to finished my CD and then transfer to my website.

Factory Exploring

Friday, February 24, 2017

Today I met up with a friend of mine to do a photo shoot.

After I wasn't happy with the look of my CD booklet I was having trying to come up with a new concept for my CD and website When my friend messaged me asking if I could take some photos of him at this abandoned factory. I agreed to in exchange for him taking some of me. These are the results and I'm pretty happy with them, all the ones of my are taken by my friend Ross and the rest are taken by me. Next to add them to my website and CD to see how they look!

Booklet Print One

Monday, February 20, 2017

This is the les rough design of my CD booklet. All thats left to do is one photo in the middle, the front cover and song titles. However, after designing the booklet I've decided it looks a bit odd with it just focusing on the single music video so I've decided I'm going to create a second diferent booklet and see which I thinks works best and decide which I want to keep. Go me for giving myself more work.

Toddler Time

Tuesday, February 14, 2017

On the weekend I got to spend some time with Lucy filming the last section for the video involving the baby/Toddle. I was realy fun but my god working with tiny humans is terrifying especially when they throw you DSLR camera on the floor 😥 but it survived with surprisingly no damage. The hardest task I found was getting Lucy who was rather cranky before her nap to sit where I needed her too and play with the toys for the footage but I did enjoy taking some photos of her after for the CD and website. I've even thrown in some photos of her twin sister Jessica (She got a little bit jealous).

Album Backgrounds

Last night I did a little photo shoot for background images of my booklet. I wanted images related to my music video but were plain enough to be a background and these are what I got.

Booklet Layout Confusion

Sunday, February 12, 2017

After attempting my booklet I realised my plan probably wouldn't work. I originally play to glue the pages back to back rather then stacking them and stapling the middle but after thinking and attempting it I don't think this would work.So I've spent a while re-planning with scraps of paper as to what photos would go with what to fit right and here's my plan and a very rough copy of the booklet.
