MAJOR PROJECT Part 2

GENERALLY

For my main artist and model I chose one of my friends Irene Kafa. She is from Cyprus, she is 18 and she is studying architecture in DMU University. She will be pop - rock artist for my major project. I chose her not because she is my friend but likewise before my decision I took some pictures of her and I was really impressed by how she looks on the final photos and also I can use her to make different and great CD covers. I will create four albums for my project. I will conclude both sides of the CD cover which it will be the front photo and the title of the album and back it will be another photo with the track list. For every cover I will captured many photos to have the best final pieces and also for my editing I will use Pixlr, Photoshop and for the creation of the CD cover I am going to use Canva software.
FIRST ALBUM

My idea for the first album was to create a personal cover of the artist. I wanted to show the feeling of the artist at this moment and also to conclude on the track list titles that refers to depression and break ups. For this reason the cover photo was a close up of her face. For the back cover I took a picture of her hand. I wanted the hand to look dirty and the fingers kind of closed and relaxed so then the viewer is going to think about what exactly the photo shows. I believe that most of them will see it as a problematic hand or something bad happened or even the hand also shows many of the titles for example (heart attack, leave me alone, get away) and also weak. 

 I did my first creation on the 6th of November in my accommodation. The photo-shoot was about an hour. I took several pictures of her and then I took two of them for the cover and for the back side.

For the photo-shoot I use just one chair and for the background we use a door. Likewise, we chose simple clothes 

 

Photos from the photo-shoot:


         


                  

                  



From all of the photos I took, I used two of them. I chose them because they refer to different personality and personal depression.

    Elias, we need to see more process on how this was put together and reflection on that process and the final piece. Also, check your spelling on the front cover...

    I really liked your pictures! However, it would be better if you add the process and some commentary and reflection on this post.

    It's been a week and I would hope that your would have blogged more on your major project pieces. You should be blogging at least 3 times a week (not including those posts you do during class time) to show your project development, your website development and general commentary on your progression through the module.
