Making Our Merchandise

 We created a T-shirt as one of our merchandise that can be sold on our website. I created this T-shirt online however we realised that most bands do not have a model wearing theT shirt so we are going to make our own with nobody wearing the T shirt. It is a simple T-shirt for the fans to buy with our bands logo on it called 'CURE'.

Ideas what to include in our music video

These are some of the ideas we brainstormed that could be included in our music video

As a group we decided because the song is called 'Stressed out' we would have our artist being hindered throughout the day as more and more stressful things happen to him related to the song lyrics. We also came up with a few editing, and cross cutting techniques that will show the stress building up. We have two ideas on how we could show this one of those ideas is that we could have a time lapse increasing in speed through out the music video and the other having a close up of a taxi meter continuously increasing, both being there to represent how our artist day is just becoming more and more stressful. 

Audience research

For the audience research we aimed at young adults from 18 years old up to 40 year olds as our artists  just left university and would attract a similar age fan base. However even 40 year olds knew what to look out for in our music video for example; ripped baggy jeans, baggy hoodies.

Digi pak draft

The Riot album cover is what inspired us when we were researching album covers, we really liked the idea of how they're surrounded by words however we expanded on the idea and made our own for our own band.

This is what i came up with for our first handwritten draft of our digipak front cover. The title and the writing around the characters is hand written as i felt like i could use my skills to achieve the messy font. I also drew two lines under the band name as i felt it looked effective. We have also done another version where we have done the writing on photoshop. We decided that we wanted to have our band name (CURE) as the main title and mohammed and I decided we should turn the E the opposite way as we can create the band a symbol that symbolises them.

Mohammed came up with the first photoshopped front cover where all the writing is edited on and he decided that the cover could look more effective in black and white characters and the background in colour. We
