filming

I will start filming for my video after christmas, preferably around mid January all I need to do is come up with some sort of schedule that all my actors can stick to.

Play The Fool band members.

I have found people to act as band members in PTF, these are:

Greg Reynolds (me) - Vocals
David Robinson - Guitar
Callum Simmons - Bass
Will Fraser - Drums

I know these people will be able to film as soon as it is needed and are also ok to have pictures of them taken for things such as album covers / adverts.

back cover third draft

This is the third draft of my album, I have added a barcode and a logo for the label (which is a real world label called MCA).

back cover second draft

This is the second draft of my back cover. I have added details about websites and the label and also the t and c's regarding copyright and distribution which I feel is a must for any existing cd cover.

back cover first draft

This is the first draft of my back cover for my album, I have placed the track listing on the left hand side and also it is in a font which is the same as the front cover and the colour scheme is also the same.

front cover, final draft

This is the final draft of my cd front cover. I have added a parental advisory sticker which co-insides with some of the track names which appear on the back cover which have swearing (censored in the title)

Album Track List.

The following is my track list for my album "These Days". They will appear on the back of the cd case:

1) These Days
2) Movies
3) Hot Tobacco
4) Mind The Gap
5) I'm Sorry (The Guilty Song)
6) Up All Hours
7) Cable Cars For Stars
8) Go F*** Yourself
9) Educating Eden
10) Says Who?
11) Blonde Is The New Black
12) Is That A Nuclear Warhead In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
13) Bustin' Out
14) Mate, Your Landlord Is Gonna Be P*****
15) Faceplant
16) Goodbye Wembley, Hello Wimbledon

I think these songs sounds legit enough to appear on an album by a band such as the one I wish to create.

Back cover ideas.

Although I have yet to physically do my back cover. I have an idea in mind as to what I would like. I would like to have a white background (to go with the front cover) along with the track listing and an image of the band on the right, similar to Blink 182s album "Take Off Your Pants And Jacket" Although for my album I would like to have a more traditional approach by having the track listing run down the left hand side.

Drafts of cd cover

These are several similar drafts of my cd design for my project. I have kept the main outlay and just messed around with different colours for the title to help visual appeal. After asking around many of my peers the overwhelming majority thought that the 3rd draft with the red and black font was best as the black writing stood out better against the white background whilst the red elipses went well with the logo and the general design. The title for my album is "These Days..." which is in reality also a song by Alien Ant Farm and will be a single featured on the tracklist on the back of the case.

Color version of logo

This is my logo with a colour change, I find bands often do this for specific releases often to make the product more appealing and to see as a break from the normality of the original logo I am using this design on my cd cover as I think it stands out better and gives it more appeal.
