So here both of them are, images manipulated (poorly) to exhibit the digitisation of music. I began creating the images on Photoshop but then my free trial ran out and there was no chance of me subscribing to a year of Adobe for 1 assignment so I began yesterday doing these with Pixlr (and I struggled). So the images aesthetic isn’t really professional but I feel like they both still translate my concept clearly.
Ethical issues regarding the original photos taken by me were minimal in my opinion. The child photographed is a family friend who is 13, so is able to understand the purpose of these photos and give consent. Also, his parent was okay with it.
The text on the USB image “PLUG N’ PLAY..” could be slightly controversial as it is a slogan for a computer company in Menai, NSW. Although I am not using the slogan to tarnish their name or in any connection at all to their company or for a profit at all so I that that is also okay. The two images that I have taken, the clip art USB, and the Ableton interface screen are legitimately okay to take, I found the Ableton screen on Flickr with a creative commons license that allows me to take and remix the image as long as I give credit to the Joshua Schnable the original image rights holder. And the clip art was available for free download and use from their online store.
Yeah, so hopefully you like this and can give me some bangin’ advice.
Cheers.
Assessment One & Three 
Hi,
Your theme of the digitalisation of music is unique and from the other blog posts i have seen is very different. However, that is a good thing. I commend you on your final images as it is not evident that you struggled to put together the two images. I do feel that more salience could have been given to your typography. Perhaps making the font larger or even easier to read. Also the background in both images could be grey scaled or even softened. (lowered brightness if that is a thing) The juxtaposition of the piano and the music editing program (i’m not sure of the name) is clever. I recommend if possible to perhaps sharpen the image or blur the piano besides the keys. I believe you have successfully portrayed your two ideas.
