Track list

We needed a tracklist to make our digipak look as realistic as possible so we decided to use a random name generator. We sat round each writing a word and folding the paper over and passing it around. For instance an adjective, followed by a noun, verb.. etc. The first song title that came from this generator was The Crazy Crow Sleeps In The Magenta Theatre. We all thought this was a bit too long to be put on our digipak and wasn't the typical song you would expect to see on an artists cd from this genre. It seemed far too random and a bit too long. Another name we came up with from this generator was "The Idiosyncratic Bassoon Drowns The Magnificent Cactus". We decided that the name generator was giving us titles that were simply just too long, so we thought it would be a good idea to shorten these titles and take some words out to make their own titles.

Our list of chosen track songs are as follows:

1. Mag
2. Geilz
3. To Somebody
4. Cactus
5. Holy Leggings
6. Idiosyncracy
7. Proclaimation
8. Atonomy
9. Damaged
10. Magnolia
11. She
12. Magnetism
13. Check It Out
14. Molly's Mullet
15. Femme!

Band Brand

We had a group meeting on Friday regarding our "Band Brand". This will be the image that will be created around our band. The image created would be directed at a potential target audience so it is important it fits well with the band. We have thought about various aspects that the band would revolve around and thought of words to describe them. Here's a wordle showing various words that could be used to describe our band's style.

Wordle

www.wordle.net

The website above is a really creative and effective way of displaying work. The website enables you to enter different words into a box and then forms a word cloud. Words that are said more often in the text you have entered appear bigger on the wordle. They may also look bolder and this makes them stand out. Here is an example from the website of a typical wordle.



A wordle could be very useful to us in media when looking at various things such as audience feedback or our band brand. It will make the most used words appear most and this will give us a clearer idea of what is being portrayed of our band.

You can edit wordles to the way you would like them to look so you can make them bright or dull depending on the look you desire. There is also the option tocan 'randomize' wordles and this will give you a random wordle.
