Improvements: Poster and Back Cover ( Finished Products)

We changed our print product due to the feedback we received and it also allows us to keep a continuous theme throughout our divi pack. The main changes we made was our fonts, as we believed having one font would keep the consistency  in our print products. The fonts on our post & back cover are the ones we changed. 





The artist name- ' Rejjie Snow' and the name of the song ' USSR'  had similar fonts to the front cover. we changed the original fonts to ' OCR A Extended' which is gown as typewriter. The changes we made allows us to keep a continuos theme throughout our print products, therefore adding professionalism to our product. 




In terms of our back cover, we made a few adjustments to the artists and producers names. We changed the font to ' Terminal ' as it matches the rest of our font and strengthens our overall theme which enhances the audience  attraction to our product

Survey Monkey



Survey Monkey










The images above are the feedback we received from various views who watched our video. This feedback we received allowed us  to  evaluate the type of genre the audience feel our music is most associated with.




To grain more feedback on our music video we created a questionnaire using Survey Monkey and produced 10 questions which would give the participants and option to chose a answer out of a sequences of questions in order for us to gather information.

Font Ideas





The screen shot above are fonts that attracted us to be our single's title for the CD packaging. We used the program Illustrator to choose a variety of fonts that would be suitable for the cd package as well as our chosen genre. 




The font that we chose was the 'type writer', we liked this font because it's simple and it would fit in with our genre and type of cover we are going for. We asked several people on which fonts they think our package would suit our genre of music. But our main intentions was for it to be simple but still effective.

Website Creation

*CURRENT UPDATE*



For our Music Video we wanted to create a blog where posts are predominantly evolved around the Music Video. Our first WEBSITE was free trial website that we were in the process of making but the free trial session had expired which made us unable to finish our website.Since our previous website expired we did some research into popular social sites that artists use to promote their songs and we found a social media site called Tumblr. We've finished creating our tumblr page and posted relevant information that would informed viewers of what our page is about.
Our Tumblr Page: www.ussra2.tumblr.com

________________________________________________________________________________

*NOTICE: This website is still under construction*





Due to our previous team meeting we were able to research methods in which we could interact with our fan base in order to provide a stable platform for our music video. This is also another medium we will use alongside our technology  to display our work to our audience. Tamika Aboah researched how to design a website without  the use of any help. Since we are still in the process of finishing the website, we've planned in our meeting four main stages;


  1. Home Page: providing navigation bars to direct users to the other pages on the website. Our chosen theme colours are Yellow, Red, Black and White.#
  2. The Artist: This page would provide information to users about the artist(s) of the song and why we had chose to make a music video for it. 
  3. Photos: A small slideshow showing pictures we had taken on set, photos of our location and photo-shoot.
  4. Contact: A way of our users contacted us for any technical difficulties, reviews on our music video(when the video is released) and any business enquiries.

After our pitch and receiving feedback on the choice of location we decided to go ahead with the arcade idea. The call sheet consists of the location (tracadero).

Date of shoot: 24th Jan 2014
Photographers: Cheyanne Ntangu and Tamika Aboah
Primary shoot contact: Kashif Jones
Stylist: Cheyanne Ntangu
Models: Montel and Bakar

The reason we chose the arcade was due to our case study’s and we believed using an arcade as our main location will project the fun and free youthful aspect of our video which will connect with are audience. We wanted to diverse from the standard conventional cover as our audience is a niche audience, we believe this concept of using an arcade allowed us to set an eccentric tone.


Initially, we decided to have both the artists on our front cover, However we changed to using Reljie, we observed other stimulus and discovered this option of using just a main artist was shared by other popular artist.
