Where I am with Coursework


For my products I went with Brief 3, which was to create an image for a music act so that they could be promoted across various platforms to attract a wider audience.
I've been creating a website and magazine article for my artist, and the design and ideas have been based around Taylor Swift and how she promotes herself. I began with the website and have managed to copy the majority of the design from the Taylor Swift website, including font, page names, layout and similar wording. I've completed 3 pages of the website now: Home, News & Journal and the Events & Forum page are still being worked on and having the finishing touches in. The home page now has the album cover on it which was taken and edited in the style of Taylor Swift's 'Red' album.
I've also written a magazine interview for Cosmopolitan, the majority of this is completed, I need to add slightly more writing in as the font had to be changed down to a size 10, reducing the amount on the page dramatically. I'm in the middle of editing and inserting the magazine images at the moment and I need to finish the 'Cosmo Quiz'.
The next things I need to do are the tour poster and album promotion so that I have the 3 pages of written work, I'm mainly going to use the album cover for this with writing - need tor research Taylor Swift's tour posters for ideas.
Over the course of this I've enjoyed being able to research ideas to use, copy and adapt for my own products and also taking pictures for my website and magazine. I have found the amount of time it takes for editing and tweaking aspects surprising as I underestimated this, also getting to grips with the software was harder than expected and slowed down the products being started slightly.
