Diary Entry: 26th November

I had an idea over the weekend which inspired me to edit our inside of the album cover. I got the idea from the Emile Sande album in which inside there is a collage of images and I thought it would work very well for our album as we had so many images from the photo shoot which had not have been used but were of a high quality and would look good as a collage. I texted Lauren this idea and she was thrilled about it.

Therefore in today's lesson we decided to edit the inside cover, we thought it would be more difficult to get the images to look like a collage however it worked well, we reformed to shape making it different sizes, changed the contrast and brightness to make the images look unique but still all fit the black and white theme. We decided to still have the original text on the cover as it looked good and follows codes and conventions of some inside covers. In the end we put a large image on both sides of the cover and the collage in the middle frame. However one of the image had too much bare space on the left of it so instead we cropped this image and placed three black and white images in a column next to it so it looked more full. 


As we did not want too many images that looked the same we decide to find a background on Google that would fill the gaps. We found this one to the left. It is a grungy background that fits well with the other images and we made this arrange to back so that it would act like a background and be hidden among the other images. 

Once finishing this we were pleased with the design and would print it next lesson to see how it looks printed, however we did identify that we may need more images to make it look better.
