14. album evaluation

Album evaluation

Recently I have been making an album cover and i am going to evaluate what i have done whilst making this album cover.

First I done some album research on R&B album covers and most of the album covers has the artist on the front looking like a chav/gangster of doing something that a gangster will do like walking around a dodgy area late at night.

After I done some research I drew my album cover and back cover i drew a person with a blue and white background and my back cover was a image of a street as the artist is a R&B one and they spend most of their childhood on the streets the name of the artist i have created was mocormcak.

Once I finished the album cover drawings i went onto photo shop to start the practise album cover. Once I started to do photo shop I changed my idea slightly I decided to get a house on fire and have the artist staring at the house because he done it, I chose this is because it tells a story. The tools I used on photo shop were the wand tool this tool gets rid of a part of the image that you don't want a deletes it this was the only tool i used for my front and back cover.

Another thing I changed was the back cover as my front cover looked good I decided to change my back cover I had a burnt down house this is because every good album cover has a link between the front and back cover so i decided to link them. The tools I used for my back cover was the wand tool i used this tool to delete the white background off the copywrite sign. Below this is the wand tool i used.

once i have finished my practice album cover i took my photos i used Aaron as my model of my photo. I put Aaron in a hoodie and made him look up like hes looking at the burning house

Once I had took the photo for my album cover I then put the photo of Aaron in my photoshop album cover. i also used the wand tool for this. Then i printed it off.

Once I printed it off i graded my Album cover and back cover by using these 4 levels.
level 4 = excellent
level 3= proficient
level 2= basic
level 1 = minimal

WWW: The album covers looked good and the photo looked good in the Album cover.
EBI: The album cover would look better if I got a better font. So it made my album cover look more professionally made.

This is my final album cover

This is my album back cover

refer to sterotypes in your answer use examples from the extract.

On the front cover of this magazine "Bliss" Selena Gomes is represented as a innocent nice kind a caring person even though she has done some stupid things the reason Selena is represented in this way is because the target audience for the magazine is young teenage girls from age 11-16.

the sterotype that Selena is creating a attractive innocent young resbonasable woman even though she has done some stupid things. "Bliss" represent Selena in this way because they want teenage girls to aspire to be like her. For example she isn't showings by cleavage so this means the that teenage girls should keep their body's to themselves.
