Evaluation

Overall I am happy with some of the images I produced within the layout. I felt that I was able to capture some of what I set out to achieve.

I enjoyed doing this project as it was something which means to me a lot and it gave me an opportunity to explore more around that area.

If I had the opportunity to restart the project I would focus more on getting shots where my model is more lively and enjoying herself than just being serious.

I chose the last image as I thought it worked really well with the theme, I have also done a few adjustments with the colour and size.

I decided to use this photograph as my primary image. I tested out different fonts to see which one suited the theme.

Models

I decided to use a preview model that I shot for Billboard project in level 2, I thought she fitted well with this project, also she has had a lot of experience modelling in carnival costumes so she is able to take instructions well.

Live Project

For this project, I will be styling the shoot myself as I have access to carnival costumes as I am in a carnival group who have connections to other mas bands. As I will be doing a lot of close-up shot and portraiture I have made sure that every part of the costume was in place. 

Costumes

These are the two costumes I will be shooting. It was very difficult trying to get costumes from carnival mas bands even though I have connections as photographers in the past have hired out costumes and never return or return them in a very bad condition. I was not able to get any masterpieces as they were really strict about it.

Live Project  Idea Evolution

I have decided to stay with my idea and only shoot in the studio. I am still deciding if I should do a storyboard of animated stills or a 30-second video. In previews projects, creating a video is where I really struggle at and feel that I would be better at doing still shots but It really depends on how it all comes together at the end of the shoot.

I try different fonts with the artist logo name but I was not sure which one will fit best so I will have decided to try all of these fonts one the primary.

Live Project Logo Ideas

When creating the logo for my artist I need to think about the artist name and how I could create a symbol that relates to what they are all about. I also need to think about the font style which will fit well with my artist. 

I may consider just using a font style like for example little mix it is very simple but has style to it.

Live Project Artist Name

Coming up with the artist name and album I thought it was best to name her something which represents her, her style and what she is singing about. The first thing that came to my mind was a nickname Soca Diva which represent her well. I thought to also look at Caribbean nicknames which I could use for the artist name.  

Nicknames

. Soca Diva

.Trinity 

.Brownie 

.TeeTee

I decided to go with Trinity as I think it will work well with my artist style and personality. I also like the fact that it sounds like the country she is from which is Trinidad.
