Final Album and Tour Poster Analysis - Michael Hickey

I am really pleased with the outcome of my album and tour poster, i feel that throughout my blog i have shown a lot of development to how i have constructed these final products. I have made around 3 drafts for the album and tour poster to ensure that they are good as possible. From each draft i would take advice from my teachers and people in my group on what i should change on each draft. This process was vital for me as it allowed me to go ahead and experiment with some photoshop skills that where new to me, an example of this would be the 3D text i had initially used on the first draft for the album and tour poster. After speaking to my group we realised that this wasn't very relevant to the genre and that we wanted to stick to a black and white colour scheme.

As i developed on the black and white colour scheme i felt that uses some aspects of colour works best and is shown in my album cover where it has hints of colour. I also wanted to stay with a simple design for my album cover as i felt that it would suit this genre of music best. The two logos i had created are a reflection of the classic layout and structure i had chosen for my album. With the tour poster i wanted to make it a little more modern and relatable to a lot of other tour posters of this genre. i feel that the black and white colour scheme works really well on the tour poster as it gets a good message of the actual album.

Mock Album Case For Group (Michael Hickey, Nathan Kearns, Connor Burgess)

We printed out an album case for our CD. Michael was responsible for creating this. I think the overall case looks very good. This is only a mock up so it is not the real and final design. I think its good that all the pages are black and white because it relates back to the music video. The page designs were all from Michael and we decided to go with his because it looks simple, it is black and white and all the pictures are relevant.

E-Safety - Connor Burgess

As I have created social media accounts and a Youtube account for my group I needed to consider E-safety in order to keep the personal details of myself and the rest of my group private.

The first thing that we need to consider is the content of what we are posting on the internet, we need to represent our group in a respectable manner. This means that we need to read over a post or look over a product before posting it on the internet for the world to see.

The second think I need to consider is privacy. I have created a group email address that is connected to each of the accounts we have created, this ensures that nobody can access any of our personal email accounts. 

I have also included an answer that only my group would know to the security question making it pretty much impossible for anyone to guess the password, and that is the same with the password to the accounts.

The privacy settings on the social media accounts are secure as you can see somebody's personal phone number and people who you don't know can contact you. I have made up a fake phone number so people will not be able to contact us through the number, protecting the privacy of my group.

Anti-virus software is on the computer/laptop of each group member so when we all try to post something from home, there will be nothing that can damage the computers.
