Web Banners

For our new assignment we were instructed to produce a series of 3 Flash, Adobe or Photoshop graphics based on any of our pre-production work that can be used as a standard sized web ad. We were then given a sheet explaining the guidelines on the sizing details in pixels.

I then went on websites such as YouTube and recognised the banners which 'pop up' whilst a video is being watched; websites such as Gametrailers.com had animated web banners going across the screen.

I then took notes from this to create two animations and a Photoshop still. I based the foundation look of my web grapgics on the front cover of house music group, Daft Punk's album cover for Discovery as shown below.

                                                                                                                                                                          

I was inspired by its funky font and the texture of the design. this urged me to find a similar font which I could create a web graphic from. I then found the perfect font and gave it my own design look. I firstly created the first graphic as a still in photoshop beforee taken it over to Adobe After Effects so i could animate it. Below is the end product.



2nd Assignment MoodBoard/Uses of Motion

After creating a Mood board it was time to come up with Mind Maps. We went back to research from Wikipedia and from the report we typed up which also helped us to create a mood board. This took a few days as I kept updating my mind map with new research found everyday. In the few days taken to create the mind map, a new task was handed to us that we will be producing a PowerPoint investigating the uses of motion. We went online and gathered information on the many uses of motion graphics. We bullet pointed the points down from used in the news, media and visual FX. We then noted information found into our sketchbooks from research provided from Wikipedia and other reliable websites and companies. (Above are a few of the screen shots from the work I completed)

1st Assignment

Our first assignment as part of the pre-production stage was to research online the background of Salvador Dali and Antoni Gaudi using Wikipedia. We took focus on their early life and influences e.g.  Dali believed he was the reincarnation of his dead older brother who shared his name. When then entered the information into Microsoft word which I then plan to use as part of a Photoshop project as an opening page in my sketchbook.

Above is the image which I used based on research I done. When I printed and stuck this into my book I then pasted tracing paper onto the notebooks to add to the texture and then wrote a report on the life of Dali
