I used Beyonce's album cover as an example of professional work not only because it looks fabulous, but because she really knows how to connect herself to her music, her style, and her background, which is what i would like to do for my own album. The name of the album is I Am Sasha Fierce, the songs and lyrics within the album are fierce:lyrics ex. "I'm a peasant by some standardsBut in your eyes I'm a queenYou see potential in all my flawsAnd that's exactly what I need...."
Her outfit, hair, props, and make-up are fierce, and her black shadowy background gives off sort of a secretive fierce vibe. So as you can see, everything just sort of all ties in together, which helps her fans get a really good understanding of the message and image she is trying to portray. For my own album, i would like to do the same. I want to take photos, write lyrics, and record songs that tie in really well to my main question, and that my fans can enjoy and learn from.
~Ideas to Use~
*Strong/Creative Photo- It's really important that my photos are very creative and connected to my product as a whole. The pictures could be the firstthing that my fans look at, so it's important to have them set-up and chosen in a way that is interesting, easy to understand, and a boost to my overall product.
*Strong Meaningful Lyrics- In order for my fans to be able to enjoy and learn something from my songs, my lyrics need to be well thought out, organized, creative, and fabulous. It's always good for a song to hav a nice groovie beat, but eventually the song becomes pointless when people realize that the song has no actual meaning.
*Powerful Theme- The album absolutely has to have a powerful theme. Since my main question would be how does ocean water affect mineral make-up?, then my theme would be focuse on ocean water and mineral cosmetis/fashion. So I would somehow have to morph the two together to make the final product flow nicely.
~Scrapbook (idea #2)~
I love being in pictures, and i love taking pictures as well. For this product, i wanted to create a scrapbook with a variety of different well-taken photos (with a few edited in Photoshop) that connected to my main question. Along with the photos, there would be a high quality piece of writing/summary that explained each photo and what it meant, and different data graphs, facts, and captions, that guide the reader/viewer through the pathway that leads to the answer to my main queston.
~Professional Work Example~
I chose this scrapbook page as an example of professional work because it's very colorful, interesting, organized in a unique way, and it grabbed my attention. If i were to choose to do the dcrapbook, i would wabt all my photos to stand out and grab the reader/viewer's attention. I also chose this as an example because of the type and the format of the words. While looking at the scrapbook page, i noticed that there weren't too many words, and there weren't too little words. It was just the right amont of words that could explain what the picture(s) or the page was all about, while reframing from boring the reader.
~Ideas to Use~
*Color Scheme- i really liked how this person chose colrs that were somewhat bright and fabulous, but not too bright to the point where the reader no longer wants to keep reading or looking through the scrapbook. So i would do the same for my own scrapbook, which is to be bright, but stay right. Meaning, use bright colors that will attract the reader, but not colors that would scare the reader away.
*Word Choiuce/Format- Sometimes reading long text can be boring, so i would want the captions and the descriptions to be staight to the point, so that the unnecessary words and sentences can be eliminated.
*Close-Up Photos- I really like how the flower is zoomed in because it helps me adjust to what that part of the scrapbook is going to be about. Chosing photos for a scrapbook can be difficult sometimes, but it's a lot easier when you know your purpose for doing the scrapbook, and how you want the purpose to be potrayed through your scrapbook.
