So I need to define what areas of research need to be focused on before applying them to my sketch pad. These areas need continuity and meaning with the rest of my project so I need to break my areas of research down into categories:
Areas which relate to my colleagues interpretations on what music to live:
Areas which my interpretation may lead to:
Holographic artists:
Fictional prospect of sale research:
Itunes mock up
Amazon mock up
Web advertisements
Hard media advertisement mock ups

The basis of my work
The Pitch
I was just thinking about my project and the direction it needs to go in, its needs to be something with a meaning. I could simply create a fictional Album with no real basis, or I could put the effort in to give it some foundation. Therefore my thoughts are as follows:
First I need to enquire with my friend robert whether he has any music that could be complied as an album. This needs roughly eight to ten tracks. I think he might have created four with some continuity in them, so i'll collaborate in some music creation to make up the difference.
Secondly I need to come up with some finalized concept designs before I move on to producing it into a hologram. The images need to reflect the music as well as the brand live 66.
Thirdly I need to see about some kind of licensing for the album to make it appear official and professional as well as securing the rights to our work. This doesn't have to be anything super legally tight, just a public licence maybe with a year or so on it. This can then be added to the album art before produced into a hologram.
Fourthly I need to see if anywhere will sell the album digitally. The albums will be one time (unless highly profitable) creations only. There will have to be a site with a pay-pal account for transactions (perhaps my dad's) so either I will have to make a publishing company (perhaps based around live 66) and just release the album independently. The production run for albums will be a limit of 50-100 because of the high cost of hologram production. Thats why I need to create a website to sell it on digitally to show in my sketch pad transmedia continuity. It also give the brand live 66 something to base itself on.
Fifthly I need to once all artwork is finalized to a professional point, and all work documents and website is in order, propose my work to a hologram production company for a small scale production of my product. I'm currently looking into this company.
Once this is done I can compile them into albums and sell them on the website, keeping ten copies for myself and examiners.

Social media websites
Today we have been looking at different ways which we can publish our work and see others to gain feedback and further evolve our own products. I will add a short list of sites we have looked at later.
One task involved getting a number of pictures from several different artists which we can evalute and then add to our sketchbooks. The following artists I found most inspiring from my first brief look on Rllmuk-

" 3D Effect
Auckland band, Tadpole, wanted a 3D effect CD cover for the release of their album, "The Medusa".

"How Much?...Top
As with any print process there are a set of parameters that will need to be established first. Typically what type of effect? Size? Quantity? In what situation is the Lenticular being used? These are key in determining the price and subsequent success of the finished pieces.
We have two ranges of Lenticular under the “imotion” umbrella. A premium range and a value range Lenticular. All carry the same important guarantees. Giving you the comfort of knowing your Lenticular promotion will work perfectly from the first to the last.
The value range Lenticular is new and has been developed specifically for those brands that don’t have huge “above the line” budgets, yet still require the same eye catching sexy movements for their promotions/displays.
The premium range allows you the piece of mind to know you are having the best association of quality with your brand. The technology will be delivering all its benefits in its purest form. Such as outstanding depth in your 3D, as well as the ability to insert even more frames of information for smoother sweeter animations and morphs.
“How do I know whether to choose value or premium Lenticular”? It is our job as professionals to match the best process for your brief so you will experience total satisfaction. Part of our process is to listen and understand your specific request and match it with the correct method. We can of course quote you on both then discuss the merits of each leaving the final decision to you.
There is a minimum set up charge which will vary depending on your particular brief. The good news here at Riot of Colour is that the minimum set up charge allows for just one copy if you wish."

" 3D Effect
3D Effect creates depth on a normally flat surface. The 3D Effect effect is generated by splicing several frames together to trick the viewer into seeing the 3D effect. Approximately 12 images of the subject matter must recorded in a strictly defined manner.
3D lenticular effects can be incorporated into most lenticular images and designs. Bright, light imagery produces the best lenticular 3d effects.
3D Effect is ideal where there is a flow of people such as at shopping centres, receptions, window displays and point of purchase displays in stores. The lenticular 3D effect can be combined with other effects like lenticular Full Motion Video Effect.

Packaging and design
One original idea of having Jagger photographed naked on a cross was scrapped by the record company for being "in bad taste".[9] Initial releases of the album featured a three-dimensional picture of the band on the cover by photographer Michael Cooper. When viewed in a certain way, thelenticular image shows the band members' faces turning towards each other with the exception of Jagger, whose hands appear crossed in front of him. Looking closely on its cover, one can see the faces of each of the four Beatles (a response to the Beatles' inclusion of a doll wearing a "Welcome The Rolling Stones" sweater on the cover of Sgt. Pepper). Later editions replaced the glued-on 3-dimensional image with a standard photo, due to high production costs. A limited edition LP version in the 1980s re-printed the original 3D cover design. Immediately following the re-issue, the master materials for re-printing the 3D cover were intentionally destroyed. The 3-D album cover was featured, although shrunk down, for the Japanese SHM-CD release in 2010.
The original cover design called for the 3D lenticular photo to take up the entire front cover, but finding this to be prohibitively expensive it was decided to reduce the size of the photo and surround it with the blue-and-white graphic design.
It was the first of four Stones albums to feature a novelty cover (the others were the zipper on Sticky Fingers, the cut-out faces on Some Girls, and the stickers on Undercover). The maze on the inside cover of the UK and US releases cannot be completed. It has a wall at about a half radius in from the lower left corner. One can never arrive at the "It's Here" in the centre of the maze.

New project
The task I have been set so far is to produce a product for the music corporation Music to live.
Remember that music to live is a made up company, this means it can be whatever I want it to be about, below I have detailed bullet points on a similar sounding organization called Music for life.
*Education in music

*Education in music
*Non profit
*Established in 1995
*Set up for music tuition in Cheshire schools.
*Bishop Heber High School - first establishment.
*Now operates in 113 schools in: Cheshire West and Chester and East Cheshire, Wirral, Stockport, and Staffordshire.
*Aim to offer as many children as possible the opportunity to learn a musical instrument.
* Opportunities to for Students to take part in motivational music groups, workshops and concerts.
*Bursaries available for children of a low income household/ struggling with financies.
*3,500 children currently having music lessons every week across schools involved.
*The convenience of lessons taking place in school hours rather than parents having to worry about taking them back to school hours later.
*Teachers must meet strict standards, demonstrably successful teachers, must be adept in planning, punctuality, communication and organization, must meet the criminal record bureau check.
*Continuity of teaching, MFL teachers tend to stay on for many years, meaning a child who learns with a teacher at primary may be able to continue with the same teacher in high school.
*Value for money, course fees may be paid in monthly installments.
*The opportunity to learn a variety of instruments from trombone and saxophone to guitar and drums.
*Groups: Junior Orchestra - Y3 - Y8 playing at grade 1 or above £45 a year if not a member of MFL, Cheshire Youth Big Band - grade 7 students in music £10 a term wishing to play in a Jazz group ,Guitar Ensemble - Y4 - Y8 regardless of how long they've been playing £45 a year ,Senior String Group - logical progression from Junior Orchestra for Violin viola cello or double bass to grade 4 or above £45 a year.
