Rosie Ball Visit

Rosie ball, is a Arts graduate who explained her experiance doing a game competition. She desighns and does the presentations during the game compertion, she also explained it takes a lot of preparation and insight doing the course. Anyways her and the team came 3rd out of millions of people around the world. She was very pleased with the result and how the game turned out. The game looks itself a children's view, however its very hard and becomes competitive. I also had a experiance playing the game and it looked fun, comical and conventional. I liked the layout and how it's simple and easy to navigate.

New York garage band soundtrack.

Using garageband was a very exciting way of putting together a soundtrack for my NYclip. There was lots of soundstracks and different style beats I can choose from.  I enjoyed experimenting with different sounds and putting them together so it makes my NY clip catchy. I decided to choose an upbeat and funky sound as i was trying to make my NY clip an actual start of a movie. However I still need to upload my logo onto the NY clip aswell.. and this would make my clip even 10x better.

New yourk final cut editing session

In this session we went on final cut and did a New York sequence. There was lots of NY images to choose from and I found it hard to think quick and choose the right images which goes with each slide... I had a habit of using my time playing with effects, and this lost time which made me feel under pressure towards the end as i wanted to make my clip look good. I also learnt to SAVE my work once i've started as i lost my first NY clip, which was very annoying... but quickly made a new one and it was much better than the first. Apart from loosing my fisrt NY clip, I really enjoyed putting together and using lots of effects into my clip.

Garage band demo

In garage band we had to make a short song, using different pre-loaded sounds. I decided to use a mix up of different sounds, which includes a hiphop beat, rock electric guitar sound and another beat! I really felt the start blended really well untill the end.. felt it needed more adjustments.  Anyways everyone including I really enjoyed this session making decent soundtracks with interests.  we learnt many aspects like, fade in and out music and to place different beats and sounds under each other on the time line so they would play along side eachother and the right time.

Logo research session

For our third session, we had to research two logo's of our choice. e.g where the product originated from, the dates when the logo's was released, the logo's syles over the years and many more. I also  drew the two logo's so it looks identical and detailed.
For my fisrt logo I chose "Pepsi" because its a mass audience (popular globally) which means lots of information involved and the logo seems interesting as the colour/font standsout. Therefore i thought this logo would be a great idea.

Next I thought I do some research based on a logo style totally different to "pepsi" but has the same population/purpose. therefore I picked "hollister" which is a very populer clothing brand in this generation. The logo seems very fresh and has a hint of style. Therefore i was inspired to research more information as I liked the logo style..

Earth and Eye Exercise

This was our first lesson using photoshop.
we used two pictures e.g earth and eye to create this image.

we first opened up photoshop and opened up A5 sheet.

Next we went on Flickr found the earth and eye picture and target grab them by typing cmd-shift-4 and this will capture the images. Once I done this I can drag the picture from the desktop and layer them both.

 We also had to use a tool which would crop/ delete the earth’s background, which would leave just the main detailed part of the picture we need for the "eye pupil". After we done this we used another tool which reduces or increases the size of the clicked image, therefore we followed the same size of the eye ball and reduced the size of the earth which made the image the same width and length. I also used a blending tool which made the earth blend in with the eye therefore becomes a very interesting eye ball. Our main idea was to make the iris effective and standout by editing the image. Therefore we used a tool on the left which changed the main iris a turquoise blue and using brightness/contrast made the image bright and eye catchy. Then using another tool changed JUST the background black/white, this made the turquoise blue STAND OUT.  The picture we created was very effective and we were very pleased with the result.  

Club flyer Task

In creative Media we learnt how to design a Club Flyer using Photoshop. Photoshop involves a lot of practice and IT knowledge, as it seems very complicated at first but once you experience variety aspects like tools, useful colour arrangements, styles, layers and  many more, this will instantly become easier. However doing a Club Flyer is a brilliant and fun idea into the creative media world. First I had to plan out my idea by researching details like Name, date, location, ticket prices and type of music genre which will make my flyer interesting. Then you have to find two theme based images on Flickr, which will fit in your genre and will make your flyer eye catchy with the use of images and colour combination.

 Anyways on Photoshop I opened up a new A5 sheet, then turning the A5 sheet to 90* cw, this will then turn landscape. After i done this I had to quickly go back to my two chosen  images and target grab them  both, by typing  c-Shift-4 and then drag to select the area I want, this will then capture my images. Once i done this i can then start creating my flyer by layering them, editing the images and using different fonts and colours for my details and title.
