After effects Intoduction

I experimented with after effects and created
this ad for our business proposal for enterprise.

Experimental after effect

Playing with the effects on
the program to start me up because i am
unfamiliar with what the program can do.
i made this type experiment to show
the begginer things we can do.

After Effects Intoduction

First lesson into after effects
similar to director however alot
more can be achieve from this program.

Evaluation "Good Brief"

At the very start of the project my initial idea would be the focus on chocolate and how it is good. I soon forgot about this idea because after a talk with the tutors i decided it wouldnt be as much as a challenge for the time available. I started to look more into environmental issues and decided of the idea that putting something back into the world would be a great idea.

The focus was achieving a package which was low on energy use, paper use and environmentally friendly. I started by looking at how i could achieve this for businesses, something which could be posted and also cheap. The idea was to design my very own organisation that specialised in getting companies to do their bit for the world.

I looked at different styles of packaging and how information could be applied to it in a readable but recycled manner. I collected existing boxes and began to draw my ideas up opening the nets so i had an idea of how each box would work. From experiments which included attempting to get the packages in the post box, settled my idea from what wouldnt fit, which became a slim box that could hold information and was fairly hard wearing to be processes through the post.

This project was not one of my strongest points of work, i feel this because i was in a spot of complication managing home issues and work at the same time. This was something of which couldnt be helped however it didnt make me feel motivated, i found i had too many things on my mind. I feel given another chance i would be able to deliver alot more in depth research analysing and design which would of aided my decision making and final package. If i was to change parts of the project it would certainly be of my time management skills and how i plan what time i have and what jobs i can achieve. As this was one of my problems it cost me from screen printing because i was unprepared for the exercise.

The project helped me to understand more about the printing processes and as a result of this has broadened my knowlege of the subject. I found that doing this project will broaden any ideas i have in projects to come because now i understand different print method i can now work with alot more materials and effects to bring my idea generation alot more forward.

Vinyl Print

The most commonly used material is a heavy weight vinyl technically known as PVC. The weights of the different banner substrates range from as light as 9 ounces to as heavy as 22 ounces per square yard, and may be double- or single-sided. Grommets can also be added in order to facilitate hanging of the banner. Large banners (which can be so large that they cover the side of a building) are printed on a special mesh material so that the wind can pass through them.











Vinyl stickers are usually transparent used for shop windows, cars, glasses, computer screens and phones.

The print process...

MONOTONE

My example of the monotone settings
is the Magenta Church.

The use of one colour to address all
means of tone and definition within
an image.

Grayscale

This is a simple method which
can be done either when taking
a photo or editing it. Simply by selecting
colour mode and clicking grayscale.
This will prompt you to discard any other
colour information.

Spot colour

here i have an example of spot colour which i did
using photoshop. i turned the image to greyscale then
chose the parts i wanted using the magic wand tool.
this allowed me to then fill the desired area with
colour leaving the effect of a spot colour print.

Duotone

Duotone has the combination of two colours.
it almost acts like a screen of colour in
front of the image. Or simply a burn of
two colours to capture tone and definition.

CMYK

Here indicates how CMYK is
brought together. The picture of the balloon
has been rasterized to show the build of the
four printing layers.

Print Processes

I have looked at six different print processes including
_monotone
_duotone
_grayscale
_spot colour
_cmyk
_rgb

I hae found work that indicates these print methods
as my research and developement in form of a blog.

GO MEDIAZINE

start of my machine response

dont panic

this was a competition piece for dont panic media.
the brief title was "machine". i wanted to come away
from the primary vision of machine which is often
looked at as a robot. i decided to focus on the way
things work like machines. i looked at how chickens
are subject to day in day out in battery farms used
for mass production of chicken eggs for low prices.
these animals dont stop producing and are subject to
a lifestyle of a machine.

NON FORMAT

HERE ARE SOME MORE DESIGNS DONE BY NON FORMAT DESIGN

NON FORMAT

I DISCOVERED A NEW WEBSITE THAT IS CALLED NON FORMAT.
THIER DESIGNS ARE BASED AROUND TYPE AND OR IMAGE USING
MIXED MEDIA TECKNIQUES.

>>CMYK PROCESS

I designed this illustration
in response to the print process brief.
i limited the colours to only cmyk.
