Joke Shop.

Here are some of the screenshots of my animation. I designed it on illustrator as I want to get better at it. It took me a long time I must admit, so I did some of the shots on Photoshop as I am much more familiar with it. It is my first animation, and I used iMovie to put the still imaged together with a recording of myself reading the rhyme out loud.

Below is the lyrics and video.

Lyrics:

Rub a dub dub,

Three men in a pub,

10 pints of larger,

and onto a club.

The Haymakers.

This is the first night I stayed up, it was really challenging and its was bloody freezing!!! I haven't stayed up to see the sun rise in a long time, so it really hit me. I was struggling to stay up all night. Luckily I wasn't on my own. I made my friend camp out with me because I know I would fall asleep. 

This was a few days after the first night. It wasn't as hard as the first time, because the first night messed up my sleeping pattern for a while! So it was the perfect opportunity. This time I stayed up on my own, it wasn't as cold as the other night.

This was now my final night of staying up. It really wasn't as cold and I started to enjoy watching the sun rise each night. It's not something I see often because really and truly, I love my sleep! Like really really love my sleep! 

I took all these photo's with my SLR Camera on a Tripod where I hardly moved for the past week.

TV Sketchbook.

This is the final outcome of the 1000 pictures of what was on the TV. It was one of the longest projects I have ever done, as it took a lot of time and effort, but once I have completed it on a double page spread it was worth it! I'm surprised it looked the way it did and for the images to be so small. There is a range of colours so i thought the word 'Colourful' would work best with the caption at the bottom.

Midnight in Paris.

After watching the movie Midnight in Paris, we had to create a remake of our own of this movie within a Minute long video! We had just about 4 hours to do so. So as soon as we were able to set off in our groups, we went to have lunch and have a quick discussion with what we wanted to get in the minute clip. After lunch, we set of the trafalgar square to film our opening scene, we also tried to film ourselves in the National Portrait Gallery, but we got in trouble haha. Worth the try I guess! Because that failed, we set of the covent garden and filmed everything else there. We were lucky enough to get one of the peoples on the bike to ride us around the corner for free, as the first guy we asked said no. We then ran into 'Pret a Manger' in convent garden around 4pm to edit it on my Macbook Pro. This was done very quick which was a surprise! We also downloaded one of the tracks we found on youtube. It was very long day and I literally thought it was impossible to do so, but it was all done in the end.

As the first attempt of our video was over 1 minute long, I had to reedit the video and upload it onto youtube by 9pm the same night! It was the most rushed I have ever felt as I had work straight after lesson which I finished at 11pm and because I had it on my laptop and no one else had the files it just seemed like so much at the time! I asked my manager for a break as before 9pm because I had to meet this deadline and not let the team down! I had to cut the video short which then made it even more hard! I also wanted to find the font that was used for the movie poster and eventually I did. It was a rush, and because I haven't worked with film in a while, it was quite a challenge. It was a fun project and I liked the fact I was able to use my editing abilities all over again after giving up Media Studies!

As a group we won the Oscar for 'Best Editing'. I was really happy about that :)

Farm To Market.

This is the final reductive graphics designs I did for all the items i had to find in the Farm and Market. I chose to do some things really simple and some things with a little more detail. Especially with the items from the market. It took me a while to do as I had to try and make it look like the item as much as possible without putting a lot of detail.

Skate or Die!

Above is the two skateboards I have designed, the one on the left is the Conceptual Lead design, as I wanted to do something with the City and on the right is the Typography design. 

With the left design I chose to take a photograph in Central London in Trafalgar Square and do a long exposure showing the light trail. I chose to use the 80s style skateboard as I feel like it showed more for the photograph.

On the right, I chose to use the quote 'Don't Stop The Beat'. I don't really have a reason for choosing this, as I just like the quote. As final skateboard, I don't feel as if i made it the best I could. Now that I'm looking back at it, I feel as if there is too much going on. Maybe I should have just kept it more simple. I chose to use the 70s style board.

Here are another two skate boards I have designed. The one on the left is the Purely Decorative design, and the one on the right is the design I had to make for someone. I Chose my little sister.

On the left, I chose to keep it floral and a bit more girly, as I feel that there aren't many female boards out. I kept it blue as I didn't want to make it too feminine and the different shades gave it a different effect. I chose to use the 00s style board.

On the right, is the design i created for my little sister. She is really into an online game called 'Maple Story' and I chose to base the board on the different characters from the game. I went on their website to get some inspiration as I don't really know much about it myself and I saw a range of characters and chose to mix and match the looks around and come up with a few character designs for the skate board it self. It took a really long time as I wanted to make sure they looked like Maple Story characters and not just any cartoon characters. I chose to put this on a 90s board.
