Today we continued with our research. after looking into research based on wiki i began starting to add my own thoughts based from what i knew about it. we had to produce three sheets of research for each sub heading. Visual langauge, Semiotics, Product branding and Advertisement, i managed to compleate this task and i am now moving to add my own thoughts on each individual heading.

Today we recived our new brief on advertisement. we spent the day going through each part of the breif and then began doing research based on the brief criteria.

Today we started our first unit on Advertisememnt. to get us more used to the project billy who was covering todays lesson gave us the task of making our own advertisememnt adding our own tag lines. we went to the libruary and used the resources that it could offer such as the internet and the books. i decided to do mine on sport as i enjoy sport myself. i added clever tag lines that i thought would atrract certain age groups to the sport, which is what the task sheet required.

Today i filled out my evaluation for this project, didnt really do to much today to be honest as i have previously compleated both posters however i have allot of sketch book work which i shall compleate over the next few days before the following monday.

Poster 2 Reveiw

I think this poster has turned out allot better then the previous one. I used masking, cutting and opacity techniques through out this poster design and i am very pleased with the progress made with this particular poster. I would have finished this poster sooner however it didnt seem to save so I had to start over which slightly delayed my progress. The point in which this poster was trying to explain was about drink driving and I asked a few students to tell me what they thought it ment and the result was consistant. As previously stated I am pleased with this poster and it has given me a few ideas for future work.

Poster 1 Review

I think my first poster which was based around the general area of anti war went reasonably well, i think the things that went well were the masking tool and the composition of the poster. i think it puts my point across in the way that i wanted. and through asking other students from my class what they think it was trying to say told me that the poster was giving the right empression. i think it could have been improved by maybe adding some more contrast as regards to opacity and angle. i think i could have added in some more effects to maybe catch the eye abit more but i think over all it was a success and i am pleased with my work. the second poster is in current process and i plan to produce a review for it once it is finished.

Today i began my last poster on photoshop, i decided to take my original idea of drink driving and how much the effect and danger is elevated when on a motorbike, during this process i used the magic wand, magic eraser and the masking tool. by the end of the lesson i had compleated this poster and i was pleased with the results and i think i got my message across in the way that i wanted. we have decided to go with two posters instead of the previously decided three, so i am releifed to find i have a little less to worry about and instead i can spend the time perfecting my two compleated posters.

Today we reviewed the photos that we had previously taken from yesterdays session using the cameras working with different angles. after the review we began working on our first of three posters. i decided to take one of my original ideas of anti war using fighter planes and clever placed images and words to show whoever saw the image what i was trying to say. by the end of the session i had compleated this and i plan to move on to my next poster the following monday when we return to college.

Today we began experimentiung with using cameras in different ways to produce different kinds of images we were split into groups of five and sent around the college campus to try to take interesting pictures. we had limited cameras so we shared one camera between us and took it in turns taking pictures ticking of the sections on a task sheet as we went. i thought this task was good because it allowed me to get a small taste of what came with photography.
