ADVERT INSPIRATION 2


This advert is one which was made by a previous student at my college. It is an exemplar piece and has my shared on my teachers blogs and also stuck up on the wall at college - this is where I first seen it. It is very similar to the advert in my previous Advert Inspiration post. I like the size of all of the text on this poster and I like how the text/record label at the bottom is inline with the box and doesn't drift further out. This has inspired me a lot as you will be able to tell in my final piece. Again I do like the box however in mine I will probably have text as I am not very artistic. The font isn't my favorite however this would be easy to change.

ADVERT INSPIRATION


This advert is probably the biggest inspiration to me. It is an EP advert for a band called CHEATAHS. I like there is writing or something on most places of the page. I think the box works well however in mine I will probably not incorporate a picture as I feel I am better technically and not artistically. I like the font that is used - it is bold yet simplistic. I don't feel that the date is lost as it is easy to find on the page. What I don't like is that the website URL is too small, in my opinion anyway. I do like the minimalist design however. I will probably not use the red colour in my video as I want to use Black and Yellow and it will probably be on a plain background without the red backdrops.

BASS GUITAR TUTORIAL


My bassist watched this video in order to make sure that when he pretended to play the bass he looked like he actually did. This is the video here.

LYRICS FOR MY CHOSEN SONG

JAWS - GOLD 

Take me, take me over to the left side
I'll be, i'll be waiting on the right side for you (x2)

Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back

Break me, break me up into the ocean
A thousand pieces I don't wanna see
Break me, break me up into the ocean
I don't wanna see, make me blind

Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
