The document provides details for pre-production of a rap album including style sheets, layouts, props, locations, contingency planning, health and safety considerations, and a schedule. Fonts and colors were selected to suit a cartoon-style album cover including gold to represent wealth, red for danger, and blue for royalty or belonging. Photos would be taken and edited in Photoshop to create the cover and poster designs. A week-long schedule outlines the plan to take photos, edit them, design the cover, record an interview, and finalize the materials.

1. Pre-Production

2. Style sheet
I like this font as it looks like it is fading out. This would suit m album cover
as it looks urban as well as cartoony , this would suit mine as I was
thinking of doing a cartoon album cover.
I like this font as it looks classy as well as it looking 3d and unique. This font
would suit my album cover as again it looks cartoony and it also looks fresh
in its self.
I like this font as it would stand out especially on a tour poster. I also thin that
this font is quite close together which would then take up less room on the
page , this is a positive as then I could get more information on them.
I like this font however I do not like it as much as the other ones this could be
because it looks like sticks. I do like this font though due its italic font. This
would suit a magazine , tour poster or an album cover due to its size.
This font is very statuesque and stands out. This would be ideas for an
album cover due to similar fonts being used in similar products.

3. Style sheet colours.
I will use gold in one of my products due to its
connection to the genre. The gold colour
symbolizes wealth as well status. Gold is used
In all rap related products due to it being used
in jewellery lots.
I will also use red somewhere in my products as this colour symbolizes
danger and blood which is a also a large portion of the genre. The colour red
also indicates aggression which is used through swearing in their music.
The colour blue will be used somewhere in one of
my products , either light or dark blue. This is
because this colour symbolizes royalty as well as
belonging which is what the audience want to feel.
Black will be used defiantly either as text or as an outline. This is
because black stands out on the majority of backgrounds. Black
also symbolizes negative connotations such as danger which is
related to the genre.

4. Layout 1
I have chosen this font as I
feel that it stands out very
clear as well as it being bold
and shooting out at you.
I have chosen this background
because it looks unique.
Another reason is that the
background is white therefore
the black font stands out.
The reason I have chosen to
do this artist because firstly I
like his music. Secondly I have
chosen to cartoon the artist as
I wanted to complete
something different and wider
my range of skills.

5. Layout 2
I have chosen this font along
with the black stroke as before I
added the outline the font was a
lot harder to see. I chose the
color white due to the color
already being shown on the bag.
I have chosen this image as I
have taken this by myself. The
other reason I have chosen to
include this image is because he
is posing as a rapper would.
I finally chose this background
due to LA being home to many
famous rappers due to the
wealth the city has within it.

6. Props & Locations
Props/Costume needed Locations needed

Potential Issue Solution
Memory stick corrupts therefore I will loose
all my work.
back it up on another memory stick , email it to
yourself or back it up to one drive or a similar
service.

down and you have not saved it.
save every 10 or 15 minutes or turn on auto
save.
spill water on mouse or keyboard , this will
delay your work.
Do not drink or eat near a computer.
Computer freezes and shuts down Microsoft
office or photoshop.
save work constantly.
Forget memory stick one day. get on with a later stage of the topic.
Camera brakes so you can not take pictures. borrow one from college. Or do not drop it.

avoided?
