Final Postcard

This is my final postcard design, i chose this as mt final design because i did alot of work and tweaked the filters alot to get the final outcome, i thought it would be a good final design as i liked the look of it, also it appeals to my target audience because of the layout and the colours used.

All postcard designs!

 This postcard was started by inserting a photo from the camera that i took the photo with, after i sized it i started putting a hazey and a vignette filter onto the postcard, afterwards i started playing with the brightness and contrast to get a colourful effect, lastly i finished by using a old fashioned/modern font and wrote text along the bottom of the postcard.





I started this postcard by selecting four photos from the photos we took around bath.i then inserted them into photoshop, then size them all so they could all fit equally onto the page, after i sized them all i inserted a royal blue box to show the royalty of bath, then lastly i inserted a thin text to show uniqueness of bath.
This postcard that i designed i started by selecting four photos from the photos we took around bath.i then inserted them into photoshop, then size them all so they could all fit equally onto the page, after i sized them all i started by inserting a gold shield into the middle of the page. after that i put gold lines along lines where the photos collided, lastly i inserted Roman Bath in the middle of the shield but made the font old english to show the vintage theme.
This postcard that i designed i started by selecting a photo from google and put a blue filter on it so the snow was highlighted more, after that i put dark blue lines along the top and the bottom of the postcard. Lastly i finished by downloading a font from 'DaFont' and inserted that into photoshop, then wront Bath Spa in the middle of the postcard. i think this font gave it a retro feel so that is why i chose it.

Layout & indesign (thumbnails)

To create this thumbnail i started by putting the background a light blue then made a new layer and inserted a stickman and copied and pasted the stick man many times to make rows of them, after that i copied the whole row and made it smaller. after i done that a few times i then drew a few lines around the stckmen to create a sense of a stage, then i put a dark blue shade in the background. finally inserted test into it, i made the title font bigger than the rest the put a breif decription about it.


to create this thumbnail i started by reseaching about how many people listen to rap music, i then put a yellow background in and then drew up a microphone to relate to the thumbnail.
i then inserted some text and wrote a basic brief on what i was showing after that i ended by changingthe font of the title and the rappers names to show emphasizm.

Visualising data: Infographic Creation

Finished Infographic Design

In todays lecture we started talking about the data that we got back from the class's responses to the questionnare that we did last week, after we recived the data from steve i started by opening illustrator and looking for a good font for the heading. after i found a good font i started by making a school like design along the top, after this i made a rough drawing of a pen and added that to spice the infographic up, i then ended by adding text and the data itself. finally i ended it by adding the creator and copyright.


180 degree rule!


180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is used when two people are in a scene and the camera is not allowed to cross the line, for example if the camera is in front of the two people the camera cannot go behind the two people. The reason why this is used is becuse when you break the 180 degree rule and going behind he poeple, the people switch seats and when it comes to filming it can confuse the reader.

An exaple of this is the photos below.
as you can see the old man is on the right, but when the camera goes behind them the old man is on the left which is confusing to te eye.

Secondary Research? -  secondary research is where you gather information off someone or something else, like off the internet and newspapers. An example where i have used secondary data would be (YouGov Profile) You search a subject that you are interested in so you can find out data that i couldn't. i researched Postcard collectors.

Bottle Vs Coffee Youtube clip/edit

Yesterday we went down the road to a open park where we got some shots from different camera angles and played around with the camera and got the shots that we wanted.

Then in todays lecture we got on the computers and opened Adobe Premiere and got editing all of the clips that we shot yesterday and started to put themtogether to make a clip. I started by cropping all of the clips that i was going to use and then i started to put them in order, after i did this i started to add in sound effects and started to mash it all together so i was left with the final piece. Lastly i inserted some text and some outro music to top it off.
after i had done all this i exported it and upoaded up to YouTube!

Start: coffe cup on its own on a bench, bottle comes along and they start arguing

Middle: they start fighting and graduly start hurting eachother

Lastly: the bottle wins.. il leave the suprise for you to watch!
