Practical Skills

SOCIAL MEDIA

Today I created lots of social media accounts for the record label: MELLOW MOON MUSIC. I didn't add any posts or update the pictures for the profile because I don't have any at yet but that is what I did practically this week.

LOGO

Today I made the logo. Daisy Evans (artist) sent me the art i commissioned from her and I created this logo on Canva:

So the photo was sent to me on snapchat which meant I had to find a way to remove the background so that the moon stood out alone. This is how the image was sent to me:

I had to use an app on my phone called "Background Eraser: superimpose" to take the photo from that

To this:

I then created these on Canva. I uses the same font for them all and for the final one, the smoke was uploaded from canva but I just changed the colour of it a little bit.

WEBSITE

Today I began my website for the record label. I will leave a link on this page to the live site so that you can see how it looks. I love making websites, I find I excel in this as I like presenting things.

This is all I've done so far but I think it's a good start. I like the use of the graphic and the same colours being used. It looks simple but very effective in my opinion.

POSTER

I created a poster for Alicia Duttons gig on the software Canva. I used one of the photos that Indy Brewer took aas the background. Here is a screenshot of the poster:

I'm really happy with the outcome. I think the black and white photo was a good choice to make the writing look more bold.

PROMOTION VIDEO

I filmed and edited a promo video of Henry doing an acoustic set of a song on his upcoming EP for the record label. To do this I used two different softwares. For the audio I used Logic. I ran two mics through Logic, one for the acoustic guitar and one for the vocals, for the video I used my phone and a tripod. To edit I made the logic file into an MP3 and airdropped myself the video. I used iMovie to edit the audio and video together. The final video was around 2mins and 20 secs but I just cropped it to make it 1 minute so it's more of a sneak peek than a full video:
