Reflection on my ancillary planning and ideas

The ancillary task for me has been a mix of a blessing and a curse. I worked very hard on the video and the blogs because I knew I had very poor skills on Photoshop dating back to my days of doing ICT at GCSE. So for my CD and website I have decided to keep it very simple and plain for my own benefit.

Colours

Because I have found it so difficult to use Photoshop and remember what I have done i decided to keep it simple and use a simple plain white background. I took my influence from Stromzy - Dreamer Disease EP.

While it could been as boring and not adventurous i felt it was the only way I would finish on time. I also thought simplicity would be the best for me and it matched my website which i had to do again because I had used a background that wasn't my own and a different image from what I had planned to use for my ancillary. 

Text 

The Text was a graffiti style font. This keeps to the urban look of the CD. It also was more of a rough look, keeping true to the genre which is more hardcore rather than the first font which looked more elegant and more suited for something like classical. 

Look

The look of my CD is plain as i said before. The only image on the website and CD is the two artists facing each other. One reason is because we are trying to give them the persona of Gods. Two individuals in a league of their own, the best way to show this was have them be in the own space, the full focus being on them. Another reason is because it shows the emptiness of what they feel in some of their songs I.E their number 1 hit 'Roses'. A lot of their songs are about losing someone or being neglected and disrespected.
