I created this in photoshop using instructions given at our tutorial. I really enjoyed this project and using different images and techniques to bring out the colours and make it more vibrant and interesting.

Storyboard

I created this in photoshop. It's the opening titles for the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier'. I wanted to go in a different direction than use an actual tin soldier for the character to give it a more light hearted feel. Because it's a story for kids, I added bright coloured blocks. The very last story board is where the blocks will move across the screen and reveal the opening scene of the tv series as the blocks wipes past.

Design Brief and Pictograms

Examples of what to use in the pictogram that we are looking for are as follows:

 

Illustration with a social conscience

 

I created these two images in Adobe Illustrator. They are posters about War. The first is a poster for an audience of people who understand what is happening in the world but don't do anything to stop it.
The second image is for those who are oblivious to what is going on in the world or maybe think that peace is not achievable.

A line is a dot that went for a walk - Paul Klee

I created this animation in photoshop. When I thought of a dot moving to form a line, I pictured a tear drop making a watery line down somebody's face. The rest of the video is just to show some of the emotions people feel when they cry.

Vecter Images

I created these images using Adobe Illustrator starting off with circles and lines and then using the pathfinder and pen tools to merge and delete anchor points etc so that they become smooth shapes..

Hip Hop in Motion

I created this in Motion and Photoshop. The animation was created in Motion while the coloured background and 'Hip Hop' was made in Photoshop. This was just a simple task to show how to use Motion and different Photoshop layers and how to animate them.

Music Packaging

 

I created this CD cover using a photo I took of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne. I duplicated the image, flipped it and changed the Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast to create the colours shown. 

I decided upon those colours because I was doing a CD of House music and I wanted it to look like night time with neon lights throughout the city like a night club.

The back cover is the same image as the front but using more opacity so it's more of a background image instead of what it is on the front of the CD.

Alphabet Rubbish

My definition of 'rubbish' would be anything that is not going to be used again or something that was used and now it has no more purpose to the original user and so has been thrown away or discarded.

I have chosen to do my alphabet rubbish using scrunched up tissue/toilet paper. I figured people who have used a tissue would scrunch it up and throw it away. My intended audience for this font would be teenagers as it's fun and a little bit messy. I feel as though the older generation would prefer a more sophisticated looking font.

Below is a screen shot of my layers however I had quite a few layers so not all of them fit.. But you get the idea.

 

I created these letters by taking a photo of a scrunched up piece of tissue that I moulded into a straight line with my jacket as a black background. I then took another photo with the tissue moulded into a curved 'C' shape and then another photo as an 'O' shape. Using these three photos, I was able to rotate them and enlarge or reduce the size of them to make a letter.

Design and Digital Media - TOAST

 

I created this in photoshop using photos from the internet. The image on the right are the layers that I used.

The vignette layer was to get the finishing look on the image, making the corners darker. You do this by adding a new layer of a dark grey and then going to 'Filter' > 'Distort' > 'Lens and correction' and then changing the tabs under the vignette tab.

This was our week 2 task - fairly simple.
