Documentary Screening

On Monday the 11th of April I will be screening the "8:00 AM" documentary at 'An Outlet'. The doors are open from 19:30 PM, but the screening wont take place until 20:00 PM. Everything's in place for the night, I have spoken to everyone at the venue and everything seems to be in check. I'm really looking forward to showing the general public the documentary, I hope they fully enjoy the screening and the night. I have also made a Facebook event about the screening for close friends and family to attend. The attendance on the event is slowly building so hopefully there will be a good turnout. Lets hope its a successful night.

Mazzie - 8:00 AM Documentary Finished

Today I received the finished version of the "8:00 AM" documentary. It looks superb, I'm delighted with the finished product. Considering the time frame we've had to work in I think what we've managed to achieve in such little time is exceptional.
This whole project I have been trying to maintain I high level of professionalism and exceed certain standards I usually work at. The film crew haven't let me down one bit, the work they've put in and what they've managed to produce is exceptional. They've been a pleasure to work with and they couldn't have been more professional. I'm really looking forward to the screening of the documentary on the 11th of April.

Finishing Touches

Over the past few days I have been putting in the hours trying to get the EP finished and wrapped up before the scheduled deadline. I have also been tying up a few lose ends making sure all the tracks are mixed to my satisfaction and the standard of production is mastered to a commercial release.
I have also been working on my bandcamp page, making sure all design elements and aspects of the site are up to scratch and still carry high level of professionalism.

Mazzie - 8:00 AM Final Artwork Design

Over the past few days I have been mulling over which design to choose for my EP artwork. I have been finding it hard to put my finger on one design that really stands out for me. I have chosen a design that represents my initial vision of how I wanted the artwork to look like. I'm really happy with the overall outcome of the design, what Ayem has achieved in a short amount of time is superb. It was quite a task working with Ayem, sending him emails back and forth trying to create my vision for the EP cover, but Its been a pleasuring working with him and I will definitely be working with him again in the future.

Email to Ayem Beats:

"I have had a few days to think about it and I'm going to go with the 6.jpg! I really like how the red works with the green and blue! It just lifts the rest of the design. Hope that's OK?
If possible can you make me a bandcamp banner as well?


Thanks again for everything, its been a joy working on a professional level with you.

The final design for the EP cover

Unity Radio Review

Last night I was on Unity Radio talking about my forthcoming EP release "8:00 AM". The show was great, everyone at the station was welcoming and couldn't have made it any easier for me. This was the first time I'd done anything like this so it was a new experience for me. I had quite a lot of information to fit in so I tried to talk about the main aspects of the EP. 
I was doing this show because I wanted people to hear my music and also promote myself commercially live on air, it was a great experience and I hope the release benefits from getting this little bit of exposure. I have also been asked to go back on the show after the EP has been released to do another feature. This will be another good opportunity to try and get some more exposure and promote the EP again.

EP Artwork First Draft Development

Email from Ayem Beats:

"I'm really happy you like it man, that's great news.
Nice eye with the 8am section, I knew something was a bit off, but couldn't really put my eye on it (and I dare call myself a graphic designer). I've uploaded some different versions of the artwork, let me know what you think. Being the indecisive person that I am, I couldn't really settle on one so I thought I'd let you pick one from the bunch. Hopefully there's one in there that you like, if not back to the drawing board.

Regards
Ayem"

Ayem sent me some different versions of the artwork and there were three designs that really stood out for me.

EP Artwork First Draft Development

Email to Ayem Beats:

"What you've done is great, I'm really impressed with what you've managed to achieve.
Everything looks great, I don't really need to change anything really, although could the '8:00 AM' bit be a different colour? Maybe a blue/green?

Thanks again, I appreciate the hard work you've done for me
