This is the first out of the five album covers. I will start from the photo shoot and evidencing, then go to choosing the design, to photo-shopping and evidencing and then I will reveal the final design of the album cover.

All photographs that are shown in the following slides are all original and taken by me. There will be evidence of this after all the photographs taken from the shoot have finished.

As I was only allowed to choose one photograph for my final choice, there will be 26 other photographs that I haven't chosen to be the photograph that I use on my album cover. The notes on each of the photographs will be why I didn't choose the photograph apart from the one I actually chose.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- The camera angle was too wide

- The proxemics weren't intimate enough (as they're a group and a couple)

I didn't choose this photograph because:

-I didn't really like it that much.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- Anbu has his eyes closed.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- Although, I actually like this photo, the glare from Anbu's glasses make it look bad.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- I took the photo too early and his hand is slightly out of focus.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- It seems too impersonal to the viewer.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- It is too far away.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- Although, this was one of my favourites and it was the decision between this and the chosen one, I thought the one I chose, looked better for the theme of the Album.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- It looks too intimate

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- I took the photo when they were joking around about different poses.

THE PHOTOGRAPH CHOSEN:

I did choose this photograph because:

- I like the angle.

- I like the proxemics.

- It fits in with the title.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- The angle wasn't perfect.

- It was too close to Poppy's face.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- They were moving into the position I asked them to get into.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- They were moving into the position I asked them to get into.

- They were moving into the position I asked them to get into.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- They were moving into the position I asked them to get into.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- They were moving into the position I asked them to get into.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- It is too bright of a photo.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- Although, I like this photo, anbu is turned around enough.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- Although, I like this photo, it wasn't what I was going for with the title of the album.

I didn't choose this photograph because:

- I cut Anbu out of the photo a little too much.

The following photographs are of what I did during the photo shoot. This was: setting up the set and saying which poses to do (which way to face, where to look, how to stand, to to behave etc) and actually taking the photographs.

Here, I was telling Anbu where to stand and how to stand for the photograph I was going to take. After, I told Poppy the same thing.

Here, I told Anbu the correct place to stand against the wall and with one foot against the wall.

Here, I am showing Anbu and Poppy how to position their hands for the photograph.

Here, I am explaining where I wanted them to look - directly at the camera (most of the time).

Here, (as you can tell) I am taking photographs of Anbu and Poppy.

Here, again, I am taking more photographs.

I explained earlier why I chose this photograph.

Next, I will go through what I did with Photo Shop to get to my final design which is on my Blog.

I opened up Adobe PhotoShop and clicked 'New'. After, I clicked 'Custom' on the paper-type. On one of my own CD's, I measured the width and length to find out the measurements, which were: 210mmx210mm.

Then, I added in the chosen photograph from my Dropbox.

After that, I resized the image to make sure there weren't any white parts showing of the background. I then placed it.

I added in the title of the album: 'NOT HIDING ANY MORE' - I changed the font style to make it fancy to look like a CLASSICAL MUSIC ALBUM as it has a sophisticated and flowing look to it. I then sized it to fit along the bottom and placed it to make sure that it didn't cover any of Poppy's face.

I then added in my choice of Band Name: SYNERGY to the top, resizing it and moving it to the top right to make sure that it would not cover Anbu's head in any way.

My final design can be seen underneath the link for this presentation on my Blog. It will be seen on the Double Page Spread along the top of the second page with the other four albums.
