Typography

Pink Floyd Wish you was here.



I Think a font similar to any of these would be very good because they are all almost like handwring fonts and look very natural but like something you may see on a love letter.

Guns and Roses



These are the fonts i have chosen for the Guns and Roses because they are all a bit punky, rocky and a little edgy.

The Rolling Stones



























I have these fonts for the rolling stones because they are all simple like the original and write smoothly.

All shoots Contact Prints

Location and Landscape Shoot 

This is the contact prints from my location and Landscape Shoots, I did not take many photos because My camera was broken and i was using a temporary one and my phone for some because some of the camera quality photos were really terrible. I tried to get a wide verity of images that I could work and edit to be really effect as well as thinking about my albums and the square shape my final images had to me. 

The Rolling Stones Final Image Shoot. 

I took a lot of these photos from different angels and different distances because i wasn't sure what i wanted yet exactly so i took a lot of images so i could experiment a bit. I did some normal and then i did some when i added some colour to the heart to make it more effective and to help it to jump out if i decided to colour pop it later. 

Guns and Roses Shoot 

This is the shoot for my Guns and Roses shoot i didn't have to take a lot of photos because i just had to photograph my eyes which thankfully went really well so it didn't take me ages to do. This was probably one of the easiest ones to edit.

Extra shoot 

These are the contact prints for an extra shoot I did just before my camera broke, I haven't had time to go into them and edit them because i have only just got my memory card back but I really like some of these photos, i love autumn the colours are amazing and always makes your photos feel warm and welcoming it helps them to look so much more better, giving them texture and detail. This shoot did inspire me to re-shoot for my final photos so that i could get a better one of my boots in the leafs for one of my final images. I got a lot of inspiration from this first shoot that I did. 

Final Images And Evaluation

This is my Guns And Roses final album cover for the 80's I chose the album Appetite for destruction This is my final cover I did do two different covers of this just to see which one I like the look of best. I decided the white one because it thought the contrast between the black font and the white background was really good and helped it to stand out so much more. I decided to photograph my own green eyes because in one of the songs called sweet child of mine it talks about a young girl eyes,'She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain.''  

Even know my eyes are not the bluest they do have a little bit of blue in and i thought it related well to that piece of music,I choose this idea for another reason as well in another song Paradise City, Because it says a lot about ''where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.'' and I thought with the colour of my bright greens eye that would work quite well as well. 

I think they this is a really nice cover because it grabs your attention so fast because it is simple with these bright green eyes, looking at you and i think that it is really effective. 

I did not think that the red one was as effective, i did not like the red i thought it would be a good idea because it would relate to the colour of roses but it just didn't look right to me so i decided to change, i also change the shape of me eyes photos so that it jumped out more on the white one and made it a lot more effective and less messy looking. 

This is my album cover for the 70's Album Wish you Were Here by Pink Floyd.

I really love this photo because even know it wasn't planned to the letter it worked out more for me, definitely for the album cover. Again this is me in the photo i always carry my camera around so i can catch these little things, in the top left corner just where the text starts you can see there is a little love heart in the leaf, i spotted this when i was out walking with my boyfriend and i had to stop and take this photo and I am glad I did. I really love the colours in this photo and i think because of the love heat and because there is only one set of boots in the leafs it makes it feel lonely and more effect for this album cover. 

This is my album cover for the 60's For the rolling stones album Let it Bleed. 

I did not think that the original album cover was very effective at all it just didn't work for the name or the band I don't think it worked at all. I thought this would be better because it relates to the name of the album a lot i noticed in the 60's they wrote a lot about sex and drugs so i tried to relate to that give it the 60's feel when you look at it. I decided to colour pop it to make it more effective and jump out a little more and i wanted the relate heart to stand out more to relate to the album cover name. 

Location And Landscape Images

This is a photos that I took on top of a building in Pudsey to try and capture the lights and the main part of pudsey it was a panorama but i cropped it to keep it in square format. I do like this photo but i dont think it will be very effective for an album cover. There is too much going on in this image.

I tried take this photo from low down so it captured the green grass and the blue sky again relating to the original songs I have chosen to do my final images on, even know that this is a good image i don't think that it is effective enough for my album cover because I wanted it to jump and be a little different. This looks too normal and not glam enough for the guns and roses i think.

This image is totally random and not something i would normally photograph but i thought the lighting was really nice and it is definitely random enough to be an album cover, i have noticed that not all the album cover relate very well they are just random.

I like this image but i think that it is very dull the sky is a lovely blue but it was a very dark day and i think that played a big part in my images i shot that day. I tried to capture all the water fountains while they were up so it was more effective.

With this image I tried to follow the path with my camera again we was using natural light so it was again very dull and dark but I liked all the scenery and how full my image was but not too busy so that your eyes got distracted. But i do think it would be a lot better if it was taken on a lighter more sunnier day so you could really capture the colours.

I did edit this to make it more colourful and less dull looking but I thought this would be a good album cover because i know that in the 70's it was all hippies and peace and i thought that this fit in well with this theme. Also I thought i could play around with the idea of it being the door to the other side where it is peaceful and happy. 

Again this reminded me of something you might see in the 70's maybe 80's because that it when people started to speak out, think for themselves and be more reliant. I did again edit this just a little to brighten it up a little and make it jump out more to the viewers. I like the colours and the contrast between them because they are both completely different.

This jumped out to me because of the shape of the tree, it looks like something was once wrapped around part of it giving the tree a unique shape but i didn't think it was effective enough for the my album covers, they were all pretty dark and a little abnormal.

I love this one because of all the colours it is so bright and grabs your attention straight away. I think this photo feels a little lonely, which would go well with my wish you were here album but if it had someone sat all lonely it would be more effective and emotional.

This is my least favourite photo out of she shoot it is horrible its just not effective at all its boring and full and too dark the lighting was horrible throughout this shoot.

I like this image because of the band stand in the back ground its brakes it up a bit and gives it more to look at i could honestly use this as an album cover i think it would be very effect because even know it is very simple it all works very well together.

I like this photo because you can see right down the road and it gives your photo that long creepy 3d effect almost like you can walk into your photograph. I love how you can see all the leafs going down the road and how i have brightened them up so you can see them all the way down the road.

This was a panorama photograph but i cropped it and edited it to make it smaller. I also made the sky a little brighter and more electrical looking. It is very dark and gloomy but i think that it works very well with this image because i want it to look very dark and creepy like in the middle of no where.

I like this photo because of the creepy tree at the side but again it is just too dull and boring, it isn't creepy enough its too normal and not bold and bright enough, it just not eye catching.

I took this photograph while jumping up because this was over a really high wall but i wanted to see what was on the other side and i thought that it could possibly be a decent album cover. I think that it could be more effective if it was in black and white.

LP Record Covers

The Rolling Stones Grrr Album. All editions feature artwork by Walton Ford. The artwork depicts a gorilla with the Stones' tongue-and-lips logo.

I really like this Record Cover it is really effective because it stands out so much, because of the bright colours and because it is so different, even know i haven't seen somthing that looks this good and that really grabs your attention. 

This piece of work is not a photograph it it art work, which will make it so much more interesting when trying to recreate this cover. I am not sure what type of art this is i would maybe call it abstract myself because it definitely isn't realistic. 

From what i can tell about the 60s is that this is when things started getting a bit dark and naughtier, people were becoming more daring and impulsive almost. I definitely think that album covers became more experimental, i noticed when doing some research that a lot of albums contained nudity but in a classy and almost modern way, which i found really interesting. 

I had to find another album because this one was too resent so i chose Let it Bleed instead. 

The album cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by Robert Brownjohn. The image consists of the Let It Bleed record being played by the tone-arm of an antiquephonograph, and a record-changer spindle supporting several items stacked on a plate in place of a stack of records: a tape canister labelled Stones – Let It Bleed, a clock dial, a pizza, a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band. The cake parts of the construction were prepared by then-unknown cookery writer Delia Smith.The reverse of the LP sleeve shows the same "record-stack" melange in a state of disarray. The artwork was inspired by the working title of the album, which was Automatic Changer.

I Really don't like this album cover at all i don't think that it relates at all, the album is called let it bleed and the photo is of a cake i think that it is the complete opposite to what they are trying to say. The contrast is good between the colours but i still don't think that it is appropriate.

For the 70s i have chosen Pink Floyd Wish you were here. 

I decided to do this cover because i think it looks the most interesting and i think that it opens up a lot of ideas and you can be creative with it because of the name and because of the original cover image. 

Artwork by Storm Thorgerson (Hipgnosis) and taken at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California. 

I think that this is very effective and works well with the name of the record, if you listen to the song it ways ''So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.'' and i think that this is what the artist has tried to show in the Record Cover, Heaven and Hell. I think the album cover and song is trying to say that another mans hell is another mans heaven and even know it seems right maybe it isnt. Almost like you should listen to your heart. 

''And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?''

I know that this was created at a location from research, it is very effective and works well with the final outcome. I think that personally this is going to be a hard cover to recreate because i would want it to be as meaning full and to really jump out to people and make them think. 

I think that the hair fits very well with the 70s they had really big hair back then which they have in this photo even know most people didn't wear suits any more these to me are business men so a suit never goes out of fashion. 

This is the Cover that i have chosen for the 80s I did used to listen to them a little bit when i was younger so i already know what type of music they play. I could not find who created this work but I am assuming it was a graphic designer. I do like this i think the design is very interesting and fits very well with the time, eveyone was a bit punk and dark back then with the leather jackets and the big messy hair everyone looked a bit crazy. I think it would be interesting to do a black and white photograph with just some bits of colour involved, i think that obviously the guns and roses are important in this image. 

Task 1 Research and Mood Boards

Task 1 Research and Mood Boards

Photographer Shirley Baker was the only female photographer documenting British street scenes between the 1960s and the 1980s. 

Her work featured urban areas in Manchester and Salford at a time of major social change, catching the dying days of a previous era.  

This picture from the 1960s shows a young traveller girl standing amid the rubble of an area of deprivation in Manchester

I love this photograph it really jumped out at me because it is so shocking, you don't see anything like this any more, this image has so much for you to look at and then there is this young little girl standing in the middle of all this rubble and destruction. This is the type of photographs i want to produce, something that people have to look twice at and makes the wonder.

I really like this photo again because it makes you look twice, parents would go crazy if they saw there kids doing this nowadays. This photograph smile, i love how adventurous and almost naughty these little kids are being, I love how they have no fear at all, personally i would be terrified of falling down but these two young boys couldn't care less.

I love how they could go outside and find anything to do and now kids don't even leave there bedrooms, young children has to choice but to be creative now they have computers and play station.

 New York in the 1980s was an altogether different city from the safe, clean (for the most part), cosmopolitan urban playground it is today. Photographer Richard Sandler began taking pictures, which now tell a fascinating story of a gritty, graffiti-strewn city that just 20 years later would be in the thrall of gentrification.

I like these images they are different from my other ones but i think all of these photos have a grate juxtaposition. I really like black and white photos they are really effective and always have good contrast.
These twos photographers focus on photographing the world as they see and and not asking anyone to pose or move then take it and show it how it is.

Music Photographers
Anton Corbijn began his career as a music photographer in the mid 1970s taking pictures of Dutch rock star Herman Brood, before going on to shoot many of music's biggest names at the time — David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Joy Division, U2 and many more. You'll recognize Corbijn's work from album covers, at least, as well as a number of films as a director — most notably, the Joy Division Ian Curtis biopic Control.

I like this work it is really interesting, it really makes you think of what message he is trying to put across and ask yourself what he was tying to say with his photos. Because they are all black and white it gives this lovely dark contrast. I really like how his photographs look and i think that something similar to theses would be really good and interesting idea for one of my final images.
