English oral task for functional skills

I have prepared this presentation on my work on 'artifact'. my task was to design the Cd covers for a new band. To do these I had to research on how to to design the Cd covers. I looked up on two different examples on process of designing Cd covers.

The first Cd cover on how to make a Cd covers:-
* need to scan or image preparation.
*can do cropping, resizing and converting RGB color.
*to make more creative could do like custom illustrating, retouching or a silhouette and later do typesetting.
*make plans and settings for Cd covers and finally make hard copy proofs to the digital proofers while mailing.
*the final touch is the finishing package of Cd covers and need to to be send to the target audience.

The second Cd cover is to:-
*using different visualisations on creating Cd cover.(listening to different sounds and creating layers out of it.)
*contrasting different layers and used the drawings to develop into Cd over and strongly reflecting the initial graphic designs.
*using 3D style to make more attractive and strong for the target audience.
*the worksheet of Cd cover is made a separate copy and start doing 3D letters into photo shop and continue doing illustrating the Cd cover.
*the final touch is the Cd cover which has different colours according to the feel of the cd covers.

Making an exact Cd cover for the blog, I drew the pictures and background on a A3 paper roughly to see whether there could be more ideas and designs for my final Cd cover. I used the simple concept of white and black roses to make it like one is evil and other good. Later, I thought it could be better if I changed the concept of roses into opposites meaning the white rose to be devil and black rose to be angel. I used these methods to make my target audience notice that some people have the personalities like these roses.

A performance, in performing arts, generally refers to an event in which one group of people behave in a particular way for another group of people like the audience.

The twelve performances from any genres are:-

10.music gig- Jay-Z singing at the staples center in Los Angeles,California.
11.magic(illusion)-David Copperfield performing his origami illusion.
12.music competition-American idol

From 12 performances I chose music gig and concert from the list and describe about the resources for the requirements to carry out the performance.
Firstly, explaining about the music gig and concert has the same genre due to music.
(Jay-Z will be performing at the staples center in Los Angeles,California)-

As a producer, I will be needing to settle all the facts and planning for the stage performance. I need to know how much tickets will sale so that we could prepare for people to see the performance. Likewise, seats for the people who are coming to watch the performance need to be known. The lightning and stage effects should be done properly according to the performance of the performer. The car parking should be hired for the people coming to see the performance and even food supplies so that the people could enjoy eating and even watching the stage performance.
