Lucy Barker - 2nd Draft for Advertisement for a magazine

2nd Draft of Album Cover - Lucy Barker 9063

Draft 2

I've made in improvements from my first draft by changing the font because some thought it was too sophisticated and that it wouldn't stand out to a younger teen audiance. I changed the font to "Britannic Bold" because it is bold and stand out against the picture and is easy too read, which is important, it also isn't to babyish and the typical font type you would find in a teen girls pop magazine which is something I want to avoid. I added an outer glow and it is lined in a pink identical to the one on her lips, I didn't want too much pink because I didn't want it to be too feminine but I like the affect it has because it matches her lips and some colours in her scarf. This makes it her "own" type of font. 

Lucy Barker 9063 - Poster for Grace - ancillary task 3

Draft 1

The poster for Grace works with my other ancillary tasks, because it has her with the same outfit and the locations are very similar but it also has synergy with the music video because by the concert dates, there are the most recognisable characters from the video. I'm not sure whether I like this idea but I wanted some synergy with the video so I will be asking my TA if they like the idea before deciding to keep them. I think the concert dates are a good idea and I've kept the venues small because as an indie/singer song writer artist who is only just making her way onto the scene I feel that these kind of venues is were a star like Grace would start of. I'm not keen on the text because I think it needs to be the same as the text on the other ancillary tasks, the album cover and the magazine advertisement. I'm thinking of next time using a gaming font to show clash with the real life images, because we are living in a real world, which is the problem highlighted in the video, that we spend to long on games and living virtual lives. 

Lucy Barker 9063 ancillary task 2- Graces' advertisement for a magazine

Draft 1 

I'm really happy with the outcome of the first draft of my advertisement for a magazine because I think it looks professional and definitely not babyish, it would stand out to the older adults that we are targeting but also the younger teenagers. The colour scheme, green, is very natural which reflect our artist and the images add synergy because they are taken from the music video. This important because not only does it help make a link from the artist to the video but it also introduces the video to some audiences who may not have seen it. I think to really emphasise this point in my second draft I will add some text saying "check out grace's new video now" maybe with a link to the youtube video. I also think I will make the text colourful and the text will be the same colour in the advert for the magazine, the album cover and the poster. 

Lucy Barker 9063 Back Cover for the album

Lucy Barker 9063 - Album Cover

This is my first draft for my album cover, I enhanced Grace's lips by making them brighter and added fake eyelashes to make her look really done-up. This works because she isn't pulling a serious face, making it look as though she is making fun of the outrageously fake popstars and showing that you can have fun. I like the overall effect of the photo because it would really stand out against all the current album covers on a shelf in Tesco, which is what we want it to do because Grace is fighting away all norms. I also like the earthy feel of the greenness and the reeds because makes it look natural and like she's standing in a forest. From feedback I've decided that a better font can be used, one that will stand out to an older audience and a teen audience but something that also looks graceful, feedback from adults has also told me that background looked like a common which is a piece of land open for public use. This wasn't intended and younger audiences may struggle to make the reference but it is affective because Grace has found the literal 'Common Ground' and she is all made-up but is still acting her usual self, which is what happens in the video.   

Lucy Barker - song titles for the album

I created 12 song names for the back cover of Graces Album

1. Common Ground

2. Turtles will come looking

3. Mad Times

4. Broken Faith

5. Looking for curtains

6.Throw away your drugs

7. The Shock of dance

8. Bulldog

9. The fight for Sanity

10. Fools

11. Creator

12. Goodbye Reginald

13. Swimming in the dark




These are the song tittles that I came up with for the back cover of Grace's album. I came up with 13 because that is the average amount of songs for an album, they all reflect the stars image - they are humorous and I particularly like the 'fight for sanity' song name because that can also be related to the video.
