TIME COUNT Date?

Clay Bust, I forgot to write down the date but I know it was in the summer holidays after the official work experience date.

Doctor Who Bust

I have now completed the Doctor Who Bust and taken some good photos of it.  I really enjoyed doing the bust. The face was quite challenging and not as good as I wanted it but I have to remember that I have never sculpted a clay bust before and that I didn't use high quality clay.  Although I enjoyed the character design project I don't think it would be a field I would concentrate on for the future.  It was good though to have a go as it was something I was very interested in and I feel that my 3D skills have developed and that I should remember to use them a bit more for other projects.

CD Cover completed!!!!

Although I haven't printed the CD Cover yet I have finished illustrating it and also got it ready for printing.

I was originally just going to make it as a standard CD Cover in a typical jewel case but I decided to go with the carboard covers often seen on folk cds special editions and any others that want to be a bit different.  I definitetly prefer them to the jewel case covers anyway. 

Because of this the booklet changed slightly so instead of seeing this....


 ...you'll see this:


So basically when the cd cover opens you have the booklet glued in on the left with this as a seethrough first page.  On the right will be a card pocket for the CD to slide into.

The next challenge was the text to put on the front.  At first I thought I could use arrow shapes to go with the archery theme but it ended up looking too Metallica.  Then I tried doing kind of trre shaped letters which really didn't work.  Instead I went with rounded letters which I felt went a lot better with the whole atmosphere.  Here you can see I accidentally did a j instead of a g, oops.


 I got it right on the cover though.  I used the tracklisting page I previously made for the booklet on the back and stuck with the golden theme I had previoulsy ised on the text.



 Next I added the title to the CD sticker:


And finally I designed theCD pocket.  I just used the same painted texture as before to keep it all a good unity.  I decided to put the lyrics to their song Ancient Forest here as they were an important part of the concept and I feel they will add meaning to the booklet and help the viewer get more out of the concept.

 

 I have printed out the tree pages on the transparant paper; they look really cool.  Amazingly enough I only jammed the printer twice :P
