Front cover improvements.


Photo explanation.

When I initially took my photos the lighting was too bright for them to work as a main piece. they looked too authentic which wasn't what I was going for when creating my main cover. Therefore I used photo shop to reduce the lighting on the photo making it appear more smooth and professional.

However I didn't want to over complicate my image and make it look fake as I believe that ruins the idea of taking a photo. After peer assessment I cam to the conclusion to use the last photo I edited on my piece as it was more appealing.

Next moves.

After recently completing my photo-shoot for on of my main characters I am now left with only one more to do. I think my priorities are:
-plan photos for T.dot
-plan my contents content ( headlines)
-plan how I want to officially lay out my double page spread
-write up passages for my double page spread.

Photoshoot completion- part 1

Some additional information to the rap artist, TWX.


Like I previously stated that he was an unconventional artist I thought I would explain how. In terms of normal rappers nowadays they tend to be direct, in formal and about the money not the actual music. However TWX isn't like this, his difficult background (stated on other blog) enables him to use his personal feelings in his lyrics. Also his religious background limits the lyrics he can use due to his Morales and believes such as drug abuse/alcohol.

Character choice.

T.DOT

After creating my character t.dot I realised I had made a couple of errors. I initially wanted to make my character black and London born.


There is a problem with him being fully black due to me living in the countryside where I don’t have too many black friends. As this I have to use my resources and therefor have to use my friends. Luckily I have a mixed race friend that well fit the character just as well. Also the style he chooses is very common in the hip hop scene and will work just as well if not better.
