Throughout the band identity assignment, I have completed various things such as, an album cover, a band poster and a music video. Many of my ideas started off as simple photographs or videos that have been edited and tweaked to fit the criteria.
Throughout the assignment, I have used my own Sony camera, college's Canon 5D camera and a flip video camera. I have also used blogger to document my assignment and the internet to research.
One problem that I encountered was that any image that I edited in Photoshop, I was not able to put into my blog. I overcame this by selecting 'command', 'shift' and '4' together in order to screen grab it and I was then able to place it into my blog. I also struggled with the text on my album cover. As I originally wanted the text on the left hand side, I tried to rotate it so that it was vertical but it was always at an angle. For some reason, it worked okay on the right side and so I just had to work around this.
Bring Me The Horizon and Bullet For My Valentine had the biggest influence on my assignment. Bring Me... inspired me with their album cover for Suicide Season, which was simple yet extremely effective whilst Bullet inspired me with the fact that most of their band photos were just simply of the band, with very little added effects needed.
Overall, I am fairly pleased with my whole assignment. I feel I did very well with the music video and my album cover but if I had the opportunity to redo any of the assignment, I would reshoot the image for my band poster, adding some colour into it, or alternatively edit it in photoshop.
