OUGD503 STUDIO BRIEF 01 - SECRET 7

I was excited to do this brief again with no restrictions, as previously we were limited to making the result on Illustrator as a vector image. Doing this task for the second time round meant I could complete all the desires I had previously wanted to do, making me excited for this project.

From doing the last project for D&AD I really enjoyed using photography and all the steps it comes with, I think it adds something extra to my work and makes it stand out from others.  Secret 7 was an enjoyable brief to do as it gives you the freedom to experiment for your final result, this allowed me to use photography and also go back to art and use painting.  I liked incorporating different artistic skills in the module.

When I initially listened to the selection of music we were given it made me want to use image no matter what song I chose, just because I thought any of the music would go well with a photograph.  I decided on the chosen two songs because I enjoy them personally and when I listened to them it gave me the idea to do urban photography straight away. 

After these decisions I went round Hyde Park in Leeds to take photos as I thought this was a very urban area and shot many different rural elements that I noticed, I took a wide range of different views and objects to give me maximum choice when it came to selecting my final few.  I then went on to pick the final photos and edit them on Photoshop to create the retro look I was going for.
The finals came out with the urban vibe I wanted, they were strong and eye catching, I made a very conscious decision with my boarders as they worked well with the photographs and gave the result a professional look.  I could really see these covers being used as an album cover.

In this brief I experimented a lot using different mediums, photography and art, this made the project more exciting to do and allowed me to create something I was more passionate about.
