Random CD Covers

The first band that was given is called Wendy Shingay. The name of the article that was given for the name of the band was Shingay cum Wendy and i decided to change the name once i saw the picture that was choosen, i chose to change the words so that it looked like the band name was the name of the artist. The font that i chose for both the album and the artist name because i thought that it would helo make the CD cover more indie/ acoustic music and that is what i thought of when i saw the picture. Also, i made the album name more transparent than everything else because it makes the CD cover look simpler and lighter. Also it draws the viewers eye to the picture and to the name of the artist.

The first band is called the Somer Assault. The wikipedia site gave me an article called Somer Assault which in reality is the name of an action filled video game. I decided to put "the" before Somer Assault because i thought that it would sound more like a band name. The font that i used for the band name was Chiller, and i uesd it because onece i saw the name Somer Assault , i thought of a hardcore rock band and i think that by using that font, it really illustrates that. Also the random quotation that i got was "standing like a rock" and i personally think that it is very fitting for the band. The photo that popped up was a girl looking out the door and i changed the contrast of the photo so that it would be darker and so that the name would stand out more. The color of the font that i used is red and i think that it makes the band look passionate and it also grabs the viewers eye so that it pops out more.

Photographer's Website

The photographer that i chose is *Peanut (Lauren) from Flikr.

http://flickr.com/photos/lpnphotography/page2/

I decided to pick this photographer because i think that this photographer's photos are amazing and in all of her photos she uses light to create a soft and dreamy setting, which makes the viewer interested in the photos and wants to see more. Along with light, Lauren uses other elements such as linear perspective, selective focus and many others that make the viewer attracted to her photos. An example of one of her photos are seen below, and i personally think everyone should go and check out her profile. Hopefully once you see this picture you'll be interested in seeing the rest of her photos.
