| Task 7 Timeline Paul set a phone case assignment, first we choose a genre of music to start off the process for the phone case, mine was pop so i used a photoshop software as it is quick and easy to create different shapes for the design that I created. The colours that where used was basic colour: black, pink, red, these colours I used are some of the popular colours people might like or see on a design. I researched the theme pop and helped me created this design with adding the musicians, speakers, microphone, stars to fill in the spaces, music notes to represent the theme. Throughout this assignment the next step was to design a phone case of your chosen musician, I picked Ed sheeran for my phone case, researched information about him to balance out my ideas for this phone case design, then sketched out ideas that might appeal to the audience for this musician and what they would like to see on the phone case about Ed Sheeran. By sketching out my design it helped me with the process for this assignment and how to improve the designs on the software. With the three design i choose one that i felt more confident with using which was the shape of Ed Sheeran hair and the colour of his hair to give a symbol of what Ed Sheeran, then i added a music quote from one of his recent albums which was Divide and picked the N1 song that was in the charts. I created my phone case design of photoshop software as I know how to make the phone case and the design that I wanted to be on this phone case, creating the shapes with the pen tool to make the hair however it was quite hard to get the right shape for his hair and make it the same as my sketched design. The next step I did was used the texted tool to type the quote with a bold font and the colour black, to give me a guide I made the shape of the phone case to helped me to place the shapes and writing in the right place and that it would look like a phone case for when I covered it into a JPG so i could upload it to MrNutCase.com, to upload this phone case I clicked on iPhone 6 personalised phone case to start creating it for advising, to upload my design i created clicking on browse and find it in my files saved Phone Case, screenshot the design in the format of the phone case to uploaded it to my blog. Task 6
EVALUATION
Use of colour: for my phone case I use bold colours like blue and pink to make it appealing to both gender, making it different colours makes it professional as the audience might like the phone case in different colours. The use of the light blue makes the phone case more shinny because of the metallic appeal to the phone case.
Use of text: the choice of text was a bold font for the musician (Ed Sheeran) it was big and font size 16 to make it clearer to see and hits the target audience. The quote written on the phone case underneath is in a Times New Roman, making the phone case more interesting by using this type of font on the phone case on the quote making it more surprising and better for the target audience.
Use of imagery: the theme appeals well with my idea as the phone case is a symbol of Ed Sheeran's hair and colour. I choose to pick this design is there's a hidden mystery because it got Ed Sheeran on the phone case but people might now actually know what his hair use to look like when he first started singing so really it’s a background history of the musician.
Tools and techniques used: the software I used was photoshop because I was quite confidence using this software as I know where the tools where, I used the line tool to create the hair, the paint bucket tool for the background and highlighted the hair to give the hair a different colour making sure the hair stood out when it was formed as a phone case. First making the design I hand draw the design with 3 ideas then choose the one I perfered out of them all, then the finally design planned out well, however next time maybe I'd like to make the hair more identical to the hair Ed Sheeran has now.
task 5  I advertised my phone case on twitter to try getting my phone case noticed.  Mrnutcase.com    phone case designs  design 1- i have chosen to draw a paw print as he has one on the side of his guitar, also it represents ed sheeran and its a tattoo of his on his arm, the use of colour for the first design was green background as green is his favourite colour and it goes well with the orange paw print, on the paw print it has the different albums that he has bring out since he became a musician design 2- this divide sign is one of his latest albums made by ed sheeran and in the middle it has a part of a lyric to his Galway girl song, however on my design the black pen ran out so i decided to use orange to symbolise his hair colour. design 3- the hair is to represent his hair and the hair is red because he is ginger, this last design has a silver background however i don't want to use it if this was my finally design id make sure there is different colour designs to make it appealing to the audience interested in buying my phone case. task 2 self directed artist research

a review from James Surowiecki-
"In the summer of 1976, Kermit Washington was in trouble. He was a power forward in the N.B.A., and had just finished his third season with the L.A. Lakers. He had been a highly touted player coming out of American University, where he averaged twenty points and twenty rebounds a game and was a second-team All-American. But with the Lakers his performance had been less than mediocre. The problem was that Washington didn’t know how to play basketball all that well. He had picked up the game late (in high school, he’d warmed the bench), and never learned the skills necessary to thrive as a big man in the N.B.A. In college, Washington’s size (he was six feet eight) and athleticism had allowed him to dominate other players, who were typically smaller and weaker. But in the pros, where most players were big and strong, Washington’s lack of skill caught up with him. By his third season, his playing time had diminished sharply, and he feared that his career was on the line."
