1. Website Preparations
Photograph Plans
For the website there are a range of pictures that will be included. Some of
these will be used as backgrounds for the web pages, whilst others will
incorporated into:

and online sites such as Tumblr and Pinterest
• Additional Album and Single Covers
• Wallpapers
• Posters
• Stickers
• General Pictures
2. Enter Page
This picture is used for the ‘Enter Page’ however, rather than using this one picture
by itself. I'm going to edit it to make it look more appealing as well as making it
blend in with the background colour of the web page.
3. To edit this
picture, I used
‘Windows Photo
Gallery’ which
was very simple
and easy. I
began by
cropping the
image so that
the main focus
was on his face.
Next, I adjusted
the colour to
make it black
and white.
Lastly, I adjusted
the exposure, to
make it darker.

For this image, I inserted the shape ‘rounded rectangle’ and filled it with the
colour grey. Next, I inserted the edited picture into PowerPoint and changed
the picture style to create a ‘soft edge rectangle’ around the image. In order
for the shape and the image to look like one image I had to change the colour
of the shape slightly. Next, I selected all parts of the image and grouped them
in order to save it as an image.
8. Tour Page – Stand Up Tour
Advertisement
One of these three pictures will be used as the overall picture for his ‘Stand
Up’ tour advertisement and edited using Instagram. It will also be located on
various pages. On the tour page, we are going to use one of the pictures
also as a background image.
9. All of these images were edited using
Instagram. The image below was edited using
PowerPoint by increasing the brightness and
contrast to +10% and +20%. For all the other
images, I used Willow to begin with and then
re-edited using other effects.
Effects on Instagram
1. Willow
2. Willow +Earlybird

10. BIG Tour Poster: Idea
QUAN One
I created this image by
using parts of image 1,
4 and 5. I done this by
placing each image on
the page, over one
another and cropping
The
out different parts as I
went along. Next, I
added text to the image,
Stand Up using fonts ‘Byington’ for
his name and ‘Lucida
Tour Handwriting’ for the title
of the tour.
11. Tour Poster: Idea
Two
I created this image by
using parts of every
single image that I had
edited using Instagram.
In order to do this, I
BIG used the same
procedure as before.
QUAN Next, I added text to the
image, using font
STAND ‘Byington’ for his name
UP and the title.
TOUR
12. Tour Poster: Idea Three
(Final Idea)
I created this image by using
BIG QUAN
the image I had edited using
PowerPoint. Next, I altered
the brightness and contrast
to -20% in brightness and
The Stand Up +20% in contrast. Lastly, I
added text to it using the
Tour same fonts as my previous
idea. This consisted of fonts
‘Byington’ for his name and
‘Lucida Handwriting’ for the
title of the tour.
13. Tumblr Advertisement:
I AM BIG QUAN
This picture is going to be used for the Tumblr Advertisement. Tumblr is a blog
whereby you will be able to see all of Big Quan’s pictures. We intend to edit this
picture using Instagram so that there is more than one picture. It will also be located
on various pages.
14. Image 1 & 3 Image 2 & 4
For these images,
I firstly put the
same image into a
collage three
times (Image
1) using Pic
Jointer. Next, I
edited it using
Instagram. For
image number
three I used colour
effect Willow in
which I re-edited
by adding Hudson
to make image
number four.
Image number 2
is the same as
number one
however, I
changed the
picture style using
PowerPoint to
have soft edges.
15. My Final Choice for the Tumblr advertisement was Image number 4 which I re-
edited. I like this choice for the blue effect that it added to the overall image whilst still
appearing to be black. I inserted the image on to a lilac/grey coloured rectangle – a
shape that I had previously inserted. Next, I added text using the font ‘Biondi’ as well
as the Tumblr logo. Originally, I was going to make the image bigger and place the
text around it in a curved style. However, I was unable to do it using PowerPoint.
Lastly, I grouped all parts of the image together in order to save it.
16. Pinterest Advertisement
This picture was used for our enter page in which I edited using Windows Photo
Gallery. We intend to use the same picture in the same way for the Pinterest
advertisement but change the colour. It will also be located on various pages.
17. Idea One
At the top of the page is the two images, I edited using Windows Photo Gallery, for the
enter page. Using Instagram, I edited image two using colour effects ‘Xpro’ and
‘Toaster’. After editing these pictures I inserted it using PowerPoint and placed them
next to one another to make idea one. However, I didn't like the way in which they
contrasted with one another. As a result, I made a triple image of each different
colour effect (shown on the next slide). Next I added text to it using font ‘Lucida
handwriting’ and the Pinterest logo.
19. BQ MERCH Idea Four
Available Now (Final Idea)
I created another
idea for the
Pinterest
advertisement
however used
one image rather
than three. Lastly,
I added the text
and the logo as
before and
grouped all parts
of the image so
that I can save it.
20. Brand New Album Release
‘Desire To Believe’ Advertisement
This picture was used for our official album cover called ‘Desire To Believe. In
the advertisement we intend to use the same album cover and add text to it using
PowerPoint. It will also be located on various pages.
21.
22. New Hit Single ‘Always on My
Mind’ Advertisement
This picture was used on the inside cover of our official album called ‘Desire To
Believe’. In the advertisement for the hit single ‘Always On My Mind’, we intend to
use this picture, edit it using Instagram and add text to it using PowerPoint. It will
also be located on various pages.
23. Idea One & Two Idea Three & Four
These images were edited
using Instagram. The
colour effects for each
image are as follows:
1. Valencia with shine
2. Valencia with shine
+Early bird
3. Willow
4. Willow, crop +Toaster
When I inserted each
image into the slide, I
changed the picture style
using PowerPoint.
These consisted of:
1. Moderate Frame Black
2. Reflected Bevel, Black
3. Simple Frame, White
4. Simple Frame, White
24. Final Idea
1
For my final idea, I chose
Idea four because I felt the
colour effect on the image
made it look very vintage. It
also looked like something
you would see on the album
covers of artists today. To
finalise my single cover, I
added the parental advisory
and iTunes logo to signify to
the audience the type of
single it was as well as
having the option to
download it on ITunes. The
font I used for this image
was ‘Byington’.
25. Final Idea
2
Whilst choosing
fonts for my single
cover, I used the
font ‘Lucida
handwriting’ once
again for the name
of the song. I made
a second option so
that I could see how
it would look once I
changed the font.

2) ‘Words of Wisdom’
For the ‘Words of
Wisdom’ album
cover, I decided
to use only
letters rather
BIG QUAN
than a image. I
started by
inserting a
square shape
WORDS OF WISDOM and adding text
to it. For his
name and the
album title, I
used the font
‘Byington’.

3) ‘Poetic Justice’
For the Poetic Justice album,
we intend to use one image
but reverse it to make it look
like two images using the
programmes Instagram and
Pic Jointer.
To begin with I made a For my third idea, I used idea
collage of two images using number 2 and adjusted the
Pic Jointer. I done this by colour and exposure on
inserting two images into the Windows Photo Gallery. I felt

30. Final Idea
1
For this idea, I added
Big Quan
text using the font
‘Byington’ for his
name and ‘Edwardian

Parental Advisory
logo so that the
Justice
viewer can know
what type of album it
is.

For this idea, I used
the font ‘Vivaldi’
because I wanted to

added the Parental

The same process that I applied for the new hit single advertisement, was
applied to the ‘Always On My Mind’ single cover. However, I removed the
Parental Advisory and Download on ITunes Logo.
35. Music Page: Single Covers
2) ‘The Truth’
I edited all of these images using Instagram by adding different colour effects. On
Image 1, I cropped it to make it landscape. I also changed the picture style to
have soft edges on images 1 and 2 using PowerPoint.
Effect 1 - Willow Effect 2 – Willow Effect 3 – Willow+XPro
Effect 4– Willow+Toaster Effect 5 – Willow+Earlybird Effect 6 – Willow+Suto
36. Final Idea 1
For this idea, I used
effects 3 to 6. I think
overall, this concept
was very good
because it was fairly
Big Quan
creative. Next, I
added text to it using
the fonts, ‘Byington’
for the album title
and ‘Lucida
Handwriting’ for the
The Truth name of the single.
Lastly, I added the
Parental Advisory
logo to the image
and grouped all parts
of the image in order
to save it. Final Idea
1 was the single
cover that I used in
my website.
37. Final Idea 2
For this idea, I used
effects 3 which was
Willow +XPro. I kept
the same text as my
Big Quan
previous ideam
which was fonts,
‘Byington’ for the
album title and
‘Lucida Handwriting’
for the name of the
The Truth single. Lastly, I
added the Parental
Advisory logo to the
image and grouped
all parts of the image
in order to save it.

Final Idea 2
For this idea, I used effect 3 which was Willow +XPro. I kept the same text as my previous idea
which was fonts, ‘Byington’ for the album title and ‘Lucida Handwriting’ for the name of the single.
Lastly, I added the Parental Advisory logo to the image and grouped all parts of the image in order
to save it. The only difference to this picture, was changing the size of it so that it could be

3) ‘Lyricality’ The plan behind this
single cover
Was to have symbols
as the background.
However, I liked the
idea of coloured lights
so researched this into
Google images. Once I
Big Quan
found my image, I
edited it using
PowerPoint by
increasing the
brightness to 40%.
After going through a
range of fonts, I chose
the font ‘Mistral’ for its
sophisticated style.

Parental Advisory logo
to the image and
grouped all parts of the
image in order to save
it.
40. Music Page: Single Covers
4) ‘Explode’
The plan behind this
single cover was to have
an explosion as the
background which linked
Big
to the name of the song. I
researched this into
Google images and
inserted it into PowerPoint.
After going through a
range of fonts, I chose the
font ‘Carbon Block’
because it contrasted well
Quan
with the image. Lastly, I
added the Parental
Advisory logo to the image
and grouped all parts of
the image in order to save
it.

41. Music Page: Single Covers The plan behind this
single cover was to

5) ‘One More Chance’ as the background to
signify the artist
wanting one more
________. However,
after looking on Google
images I found a better
image which was of a
person who had their
hands firmly placed
behind a blurred
screen. I thought this
image looked really
effective and so
inserted it into
PowerPoint. I chose
Big Quan
the font ‘Biondi’
because it was bold
and was straight to the
point – just like the
name of the single.
One more chance Lastly, I added the
Parental Advisory logo
to the image and
grouped all parts of the
image in order to save
it.
42. Music Page: Single
Covers The plan behind this single
cover was to have either
6) ‘Strive’
arrows or an
aeroplane in the sky as
the background to
emphasise the word
‘strive’ – meaning in this
context reaching for a
Big Quan goal. I researched
‘aeroplanes’ into Google
images yet found nothing
great. Adding the word
STRIVE
‘Tumblr’ to it resulted in
many more images which
is how I found this image. I
chose the fonts ‘Neuropol’
for his name and ‘Biondi’
for the name of the single
because it reminded me of
the big bold letters you
would normally see on a
aeroplane. Lastly, I added
the Parental Advisory logo
to the image and grouped
all parts of the image in
order to save it.
43. Music Page: Single
Covers The plan behind this single
cover was to have two
7) ‘Two Roads’ lonely roads as the
background image which
would link with the single title.
The image I imagined was
not one that came up on
Google images. However
after a while of searching I
came across rail way tracks
that had a sepia effect to it.
Using PowerPoint I added a
Big Quan
border around the image.
Next, I added text to it using
the fonts ‘Neuropol’ but
positioned it in various places
before choosing to have it in
Two roads the middle. I still felt that this
idea as a whole wasn’t good
enough so I therefore added
a border to it which I felt
looked quite effective. Lastly,
I added the Parental Advisory
logo to the image and
grouped all parts of the
image in order to save it.
