Choosing a Font.

After visiting the font website I tried out a variety of different fonts that I felt were suitable for a girl band.

Here is a few examples of the ones i felt looked the best and the Chosen one.

Although i really liked all of these Fonts I decided on one that seemed most suitable as it actually looked like a Lipstick smear and i stuck a symbol of Lips at the end to add effect.

Here is the Chosen Font

Title Inspiration

Here is a few photos of some band names, i noticed that they all had used quite funky interesting fonts for their names so i wanted to do the same for my own, howerver i decided that the fonts that Microsoft word were offering were not intereting enough so i decided to try out fonts in http://www.dafont.com/

After deciding on my final name I decided i needed to pick an appropriate font for my bands name , I Looked at a few other Bands to see what style other bands had used.

Deciding on My Bands Name

Now i had whittled down the Names to just three i decided to create a chart and bring it around my Sixth form common room and get them to put a dash by the name they liked the most and felt i should use.

Here is the chart.








As you can see, out of the 21 people i asked , The Lipsticks came out overall on top.

Final Name is - THE LIPSTICKS!

Choosing my band name

After gathering some ideas for what type of band i wanted to create by looking at other girl bands i decided it was time for me to choose a suitbale band name for my Girl band.
To start with I picked some of my favourite and popular girl bands that are Famous.
I thought of ones such as

• The Spice Girls
• The saturdays
• The Pussycat Dolls
• The Sugababes

I noticed that with all these bands they started with ` THE` Before the actual name of the band so decided i would also follow this idea.

Next up was to decide the name of the actual band - i began gathering ideas from myself and friends.

Here is a short video of people ideas

I decided my Top 3 names were

1. The Lipsticks

2. Lashes

3. The Fridays

Band Photos analysis

Music artists mood board

I put together a mood board of all different girl bands which had been photogrpahed focusing mainly on there faces , using extreme close ups as this is the type of photo i wished to follow for my own band and my own advertisement. I created this mood board as it allowed me to look back on it at any time when creating my minor task

I then decided to look up photographs of different artists and the way they are photographed for things such as a magazines and posters, So i could get an understanding of how to do it when it came to creating my own band.

Magazine advertisement analysis.

I took a Famous music magazines and found photos of past magazine advertisements.
I now decided to analyse it to make sure i had good understanding of how they are put together and what to include.
In this Advertisement the title of the band is bold and in the top corner of the page, however the image takes up the most of the overall page, around 80%. The coverline used are the arists name and album name . With details of what is included inside the album. such as `unheard footage`. There also the mini record label at teh bootm of the page and HMVs label at the top, to give it publicity.

As you can in this advertisement teh name of the act being advertised takes up a large proportion of the page. It isin a bold font adn takes up around 60% of the page. other coverlines included on the page is details of a live concert, with dates and ticket price infortmation and lcation.

There is also othe rlogos on the page, that probably are from sponsors.There is also a hotline number of how to get tickets

The fonts are all the same but volour and font size vary, to make the advertismetn appear more attractive and catch the readers eye.

Bold bright colours are also uss, such as green, yellow and red.
