Band name: Belsand
Title of CD: the mysteries that challenge you
Style of music: rock Personality of “Belsand”: I think that they are rock, with maybe an edge, almost just like any rock band.

Rock music: defined as mainstream, started in the 1950’s. Late 1960’s – 1970’s rock music developed into different subgenres. A rock band revolves around lead singer, bass guitarist, electric guitarist, drummer, this forms a quartet.
Rock and roll evolved in the States in 1950 and spread to the rest of the world.

Randon Album Covers

The name of the first band is called "Cell Technology", I got it off of Wikipedia, from the page on cell technology, the CD cover is called "Before one loses him to death". I thought the band would be a techno type of band, and I placed the band name at the top, in black font, and the CD title at the bottom, separating each word, and changing the font on the last word, and changing the size.

The second band name is called "Anton". The Wikipedia page I landed on was about a painter, and I used part of the name, and came up with "Anton". The CD title is called "Little in taking hold of it". I think this band's genre is more of a electronic rock band, and for the CD title, I made the font blue and then I changed the pattern. The CD name, I changed the font every few words, emphasizing the important words.

Compositional Elements + Photos

Diagonal Lines

Diagonal lines make a photo look more real, and more pronounced. It captures the imager’s attention and view. Diagonal lines also give photos depth and the imager looks through the photo intercepting interesting parts. It also gives the photo a sense of action.

I think these photos show diagonal lines because in the first picture, it has a wall and showing diagonal lines, while the other buildings with the same lines are behind it, giving it a bit of depth. The second has a fence, which has lines, and the building behind the fence.

Texture
Texture can be defined as “the feel of an object's surface." This is an example of the way in which we often assume texture is something which must be physically felt in order to understand it. Texture is something which we feel when we interact with our surroundings. But, our understanding of texture is not limited to touch. Texture can be "felt" with our eyes also.

By Esila:

I think that these photos represent Texture because when you look at this wall and the tree, it seems like you can touch them and feel them with your hands.

Compositional photoshop exercise

For my compositional photo I chose Canadian actor/writer Paul Gross. For changing the background, first I created a new layer, background copy, and then I used the magnetic lasso tool to outline the figure, and after I outlined I copied it, and then got a new background, and then I pasted it into a different background. After I did that, the figure was too big for the background picture, so I scaled it down to fit. I chose the desert background for Paul Gross was because I figured he wouldn’t be in that particular place.
