Designing my ancillary tasks

I designed and edited the ancillary tasks at the same time as I believed that it would help in ensuring that there is continuity in the two products. I created many different versions of both the CD front cover, back cover and advertisement.  I think that it is important in experimenting with ideas which will help establish the best products that can be made.  I edited my products on Adobe Flash, Photoshop, Word and http://www.picnik.com/.  These different softwares allowed me to edit the products in various ways.  For example, the Picnik photo editing website allowed me to include different fonts of text. I used the Photoshop software to edit the colours and texture of the pictures to emphasise the look that I have wanted to create for the artist and the video. Microsoft Word allowed me to touch up the picturs in contrast and exposure.  Also, it helped me with my creating the spine and back cover of m album as I was able to position the pictures and text to a specfic resolution for the actual size of an album.

Below are the designs that I created before my final piece. I did many edits of designs as I wanted to have a choice of what I could use. I played around with the software that I was using to ensure that I had created the best ancillary products that I could which would relate to my video the most. It was important to show continuity.
