Realizations (WR 26)

Originally, it had been my goal to write and produce five songs for my final product. After careful thought and discussions with my mentor, we have decided that it will be best to stick to four songs. Heres why; The main reason is that it is much better to have four amazing songs, then five 'okay' songs. My mentor Jonathan said that in todays music world, people would much rather a fewer song album with all of the songs being outstanding. This can be seen in many successful artists nowadays. A lot of artists are releasing shorter 5-6 song albums with each song being very high quality. This tied into a factor of time lead me to make the designs to only produce 4 songs and spend my remaining time perfecting the songs I have and also working on the two videos and marketing the album.

FPN (WR 25)

The countdown for the days left until final presentation night (FPN) has been posted in the ISM classroom this week. As of Friday, there was 37 days. That means it is crunch time to get everything ready and prepared for FPN, the most important night of ISM. Final product has to be finished, I have to prepare my 45-60 min presentation, invitations need to be created and sent out, and so much more needs to get done for that night to be a success. This past week, I worked on creating the design for my invitation and started writing the introduction to my presentation. For the invitation, I decided to get a little creative and create a little record with a sleeve (seen below). I think this will work out very well and be a great way to invite people to my presentation. This weekend I plan on creating the invitations and distributing them.
