Album Cover Art




We have decided to make our album cover resemble the front cover of magazines which would appeal to yuppie culture, titled Justice. This allows for a degree of creativity as we assemble headlines to be put on the cover which will hopefully provide a satirical viewpoint on yuppie culture.


Headline Possibilities:


1. How To Get Blood Out Of Your Favourite Suit.


5. Is An Overdose The New Axe To The Face?


2. Liam Mackel, 'Leave Overpopulation To Me'


3. Is Murder the New Black


4. 'The Power of the Suit', Interview With Huey Lewis


5. Liam Mackel 'If You Need a Friend Get A Dog, This Is Business'


6. Women and Occupying Their Bed


7. Top 10 ways to dispose of a body




Possible Quotes:
"Every man has his passion; some like whist, I prefer killing people."  


"What I did is not such a great harm, with all these surplus women nowadays. Anyway, I had a good time."



"I didn't want to hurt them, I only wanted to kill them." 


"People like me don't come from films. Them films come from people like me."


"Every man to his own tastes. Mine is for corpses."


"My first murder was thrilling because I had embarked on the career I had chosen for myself, the 
career of murder."


"The only thing they can get me for is running a funeral parlor without a license."


"After my head has been chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment , the sound of my own blood gushing from my neck? That would be the best pleasure to end all pleasure. "


"Big deal, death comes with the territory. See you in Disneyland."



Possible Interview Questions:


Q. Congratulations on your Justice Man Of The Year award. How does it feel?
A. Well thanks, I'm just glad that after the homeless case people got to know the real me, people didn't know I was just a normal guy, ya know, I paint, I play sports.... I bowl. Murders a very small but public part of my life. People need to get over it.


Q. What first attracted you to your, lets say, unorthodox hobby?
A. Well, Every man has his passion; some like fishing, I prefer killing people. My first murder was thrilling because I had embarked on the career I had chosen for myself, the 
career of murder.

Q. Do you ever feel any remorse.
A.  I didn't get to sit in this chair through remorse. What I did is not such a great harm, with all these surplus women nowadays. I did the good decent working class guy a favour. Anyway, I had a good time. But if those working class pigs don't stop being so goddamn pathetic the'll be next. For gods sake at least die with dignity.

Q. Do you have a method, weapon of choice or tips for the readers?
A. It really changes with my mood. Recently I've got my hands on some contaminated pills that work well for large groups, for when your feeling lazy. No mess as well, little tip for your readers there.

Q. And I suppose no mess is good for avoiding the police?
A. Look the only thing they can get me for is running a funeral parlor without a license. 

Q. So whats next for Liam Mackel?
A. Im going to Disneyland!

26th of February to 4th of March

During this week we had planned a schedule to complete the filming process of our music video. We had arranged an office, arranged a during school triple period filming of our key scene and an entire full day shoot for the Saturday of that week. However due to actors being preoccupied with their schoolwork or jobs, we were only able to film during school, setting us back one week. We will try to complete filming the following week and be more forceful with our actors.

The Scales of Justice


The key theme of our branding is that of the Scales of Justice which are wielded by a Greek Goddess
“The origin of the Lady of Justice is believed to be the Greek mythological goddess, Themis. This deity was daughter to Uranus and Gaia and was a partner and advisor to Zeus. Themis was a Titan who believed in and taught obedience to laws 
and peace. "She became known as a goddess of divine justice."The depictions of her carrying a sword in one hand and the
scales of justice in the other with her eyes covered is used to this day as our symbol of law and justice.

Branding an artist

Branding is a huge part of the development process of music artists. It allocates them an identity that audiences can perceive in their own way.

These are possible logos made that could be used as a key part in our artist branding:

End of Year Update

We have our idea, we have our actors, we have a schedule and we have our props. However now as filming is set to begin problems have arose due to multiple things.
One is that the office we planned to shoot a short scene in can no longer be used because the use of cameras in the premisis is prohibited. Another is that as January is a month of A2 first module tests, many actors who agreed to be in our tim can no longer shoot on specific days because of their priorities. These problems do not mean that we will be off our planned schedule because our schedule was drawn up with a contingency plan included, some leeway as we expected these problems, but this does mean we cannot afford any more problems to arise.
