503- Secret 7

Research:

"Imagine"

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

To create my album cover I chose to use three faces portraying the human race, and their different cultures. Their three faces all have different colour schemes, these represent the different environments across the globe, the faces go light to dark moving from left to right. I chose to make the background black for two reasons, the first was that it would work well representing space surrounding earth, also it is similar to a vinyl record, I believed this would be very popular as it is ambiguous and the viewer can interpret the cover as they choose. The black drops falling from the faces portray the the negativity and hate falling out of the human race leaving only purity, and the coloured drops represent the sadness in the world. Using the lyrics as inspiration, I represented the world uniting as one.

How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

We would like you to design a new, classic cover for Caitlin Moran's book, How to Be a Woman.

The design needs to feel timeless and classic, whilst at the same time making it clear to the reader that it is very entertaining and often very funny. The book should feel very accessible, immediately ‘pickupable’ and something that exists within the world of Popular Culture. You are welcome to use an image of the author, but do not feel that you need to take that approach.

The ideal design will make us smile, make us want to own a copy of the book, and keep it proudly on our shelves for a long time.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES IS 12 NOON ON WEDNESDAY 9 MARCH 2016.

Entries must be supplied in the following format:

• PDF

Images I could use for my website taken by me in Ibiza (Could be good to link the place to the album).

The first one might not work given that some sections of the image are dark tones and it might make it hard to read if this was behind the text.

 This image would work better given its soft and tropical colours.

Here are some sections of the official website.

The main problem with this page is that its unfinished.

Missing latest information on Juan Magan's New album, Events, Life style, Awards ....

Some sections I do like and will use on my own page such as;
