Adding the MixPod

To make my blog more relevant to music and also my view of music I have added a new gadget to my blog of a MixPod. It is a gadget that looks like a iPod touch and starts playing music of my choice. Unfortunately I was not able to get my song Shuffle on it so I just chose songs I like and I feel are of a same genre. Currently, when you visit my blog the song 'What You Know' by Two Door Cinema Club starts playing  

Digipak & Advert Feedback

The first feedback point was regarding my digipak that I had posted it the wrong way around and that when it came to my final digipak that it needs flipping.

Also, my teacher noted that she believes there is some confusion with the images over the genre of the band. Stating that the image with the 4 way cut of there faces looks more like a pop music album making them more like a boy band and the bottom left image that I used of the singer of Bombay Bicycle Club with the guitar looks like a full on rock album which makes a contrast.

Next, they noted that I should remove the beige colour and simply make the album black and white which to be honest I agree with.

Overall, my teachers awarded it 5/10 making it a high level 2

In regards to my advert, my teachers said they liked the idea behind the images of the band and that it had good potential.

However, they did criticise the sizes used for the texts bellow the mage and said that I need to reconsider and look at making them more to scale and try incorporate the rule of thirds more.

Overall, my teachers awarded my advert 5/10 which also makes it a high level 2

Technical Problems

I wanted to start editing my video today but there is the major problem that some how when i was filming my video have saved onto the hard drive of the camera rather then the memory card of which I intended it to be on. This means I will have to leave editing for now and bring in a cable for the camera tomorrow.

Arctic Monkeys

As part of my verbal feedback to my digipak and poster it was suggested that I should look at images of the band: Arctic Monkeys. Instantly my favourite feature in all the image is how unstaged they are, this element makes them appear more authentic and more off a band from how they don't exactly pose for pictures 

Progress over half term

Unfortunatly, 3 of the 4 members of my band have been on holiday during the half term break so not much filming has taken place. This means I am on tight shedule this week to finish my filming but with all the lads hopefully at college everyday it should be manageable

Updating Twitter

I have been updating the band page with post regarded to what's been happening with the band regarding my work. On the page I have tweeted posts and pictures from the band an I retweeted one of my personal tweets with a picture of the band
