My Media Project

I chose brief three for my project; which was to create the image for a new musical act and music company. I decided that I was going to use artists Kate Nash and Eliza Doolittle to inspire my products. I did research into how each of them advertised and promoted themselves, looked at their posters and websites and decided on which I could then get my ideas from. I decided that my artists name would be Rosie Day, as I feel it suited the target audience well and would create an appropriate image.

Firstly, I decided to re-create Eliza Doolittle's website for my individual artist. The website is quite complicated in design; there are many moving images and things that are different to your bog-standard website. So far I've managed to create the rough design for it and taken my own photos, trying to get them as similar to the ones on the website as possible. I'm working on trying to add scroll bars to my news page and making it look more professional; also I am going to make my own background for the home page instead of using one from the internet.

I chose a Kate Nash tour poster and based mine entirely upon it. I noticed that the ribbons and images used in the background of the poster looked hand drawn, and so I decided that I needed a hand-drawn copy too to scan onto the computer. I'd already done one photo shoot which was more focused on photos for the website; so I did another with my friend whom I'd chosen to model, so that it'd be as similar as possible to the poster that I am copying for my artist. I am currently working on editing those photos and putting the poster together. I can then start work on my album art also inspired by one of Kate Nash's designs, which can be done yet again by hand and being scanned in.
