Basically, for an assignment in one of my modules at uni I have to make a montage of various photos and text, so I thought I would do a guitar magazine cover. I allready took the main photos but apparently I need 5, so was thinking about having some small photos of bands at the bottom like mags sometimes do. The assignment thing says only 2 photos have to be taken by me, so does anyone have any decent band photos I could use? I obviously wont take the credit for these photos, and the assessment is more on if its blended in well with the rest of the montage rather than the actual photos.
It'll be free advertisement for your band, at least advertising in my photoshop group :lol:
Cheers :)

Here's one of me and the pop band I'm in.
It's odd, though; I realize now all the gig pics I have are with the pop band...
It's a sign! Rock is dead. POP RULES! :twisted:
Just kidding :roll:
EDIT: Yes, what I'm playing is called a piano. It doesn't have strings or any BKP's... :cry:

I can let you have higher res versions if you want (blimey that sounds almost like I know what i am talking about).

If you're after any of a girly playing guitar & singing then we've got a whole bunch of them up on my band's MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/worldis I'm on there too, but I'm less interesting.

Cheers :) Adam, those pics look so good, will definitely be using some of those if its ok with you! Does everyone here actually know who took their photos and do I have permission to use them as long as they're written in my refs? I need to have the name of the photographer to put in my references I think.

I know who took all of ours if you want to use any. And they'd be just as happy for any exposure as much as the band would :)

Tom, all the White Lines pics were taken by Eddie Howland and I am sure he'd welcome the exposure if you forgive the pun. How arrogant of me to assume you will want them eh?
-
I have this one also in hi-res if I should mail it to you - not the whole band, but at least parts of it ...

In the off-chance that you wanna use our cheesy pop-band pic, the photographer was named Eric Thompson, and he was a friend doing us a favor, so you can use it if you want. No problem ;)

Cheers for all the pics, havent decided which I'll use yet, but it'll be the more "professional" looking ones. Will PM whoever I chose to use if I cant see the name of the photographer on any of your websites!

Well heres what I have for this cover so far. Still need to add the band names at the bottom (hopefully Adam.M will give me permission to use his photo of who I think is JamesHealey :))

Any comments, constructive criticism etc? Obviously this isnt the size/quality of the finished one as will be A4 and wont have the cr@p aliasing on the fonts which happened when I resized. I may change the picture of psy's band as its a bit dark compared to the rest.
Would you buy a mag with this cover? :P Probably not.
Heres one with white font, I cant tell which I prefer
(http://i2.tinypic.com/8g8rix5.jpg)
Which do you think? The only thing is I'm not sure if the project is being marked on how well it suits the purpose or how well we've used different techniques to blend images together, in which case the one with fretboard underneath the font would be best as it uses more techniques, but isnt as bold and eye catching as the white text.
-
I like the white font-
you really need to add some more text, saying what's going on inside the magazine; very rare you see a magazine that doesn't say anything about its contents on the cover
-
I like the fretboard idea in the mag's title, but why not use a maple fretboard to make it stand out. The cover is dark so the rosewood doesn't 'pop' out. Maybe the maple will.
-
Good idea actually :D Does anyone have a good up close one of maple with black dots I can steal? Cant really just take any off the web as I need to have permission really.
-
Also tom, the font that says "interviews with" isn't really very clear at all. Might wanna change that to a white as well. But looks cool overall
-
Its much clearer on the full size one, but I changed the opacity which makes it stand out a bit more without being too much. It still looks shite on the resized one though :( Here it is with a bit more added to it:

edit - added some more stuff :)
-
^^ HELL YEA IM FAMOUS! :D
-
That looks even better Tom. niiice.
-
Cheers :) Changed a few things round and I think it looks a bit better (also got rid of the arctic monkeys song tabbed :P)
(http://i16.tinypic.com/6odq4pl.jpg)
I think that may do for now unless someone can suggest some more changes?
-
So theres not going to be a maple fretboard as the title?
Thats the only change I can think of that would look nice :)
Good job!
