Client brief one


 

 

 






For the first brief, I was asked to create a photo spread for an online newspaper/ magazine which would be shown by using five photos. The subject/ theme that I decided to do is “Earth in a year”. The five photos that I chose are supposed to represent how the Earth can look during all four seasons (and showing the stereotypical weather that may come in that certain season). The type of publication that I would do this photo spread for would be a nature magazine, such as National Geographic, or BBC wildlife. The reason why I decided to choose this theme is due to the fact that as the year is coming to an end, I wanted to look back at how the atmosphere looked while being in various seasons in the year. This particular year has had many weathers, and I wanted to show the many aspects that the Earth can have.  The first picture represents spring, (when flowers typically begin to blossom) the second is summer, (the sun setting after a hot day) the third and fourth photos are autumn (and the transition to the colder weather) and lastly, the fifth photo represents winter (on a cold snowy day). All the photos had been taken on a phone camera, but some of the pictures had been edited, by using photoshop to remove any unwanted background objects, people, etc, and to also do things such as adjusting the brightness, saturation, warmth, and overall colour to improve the photos.

Reflection on the first year

As the first year has gone by, I would say that I've had many highs and lows from my Digital Media Foundations. I started the year off rather excited, especially since I did not have any expectations of what the course would be like. When I first heard that we were going to be writing on blogs, I was slightly nervous. The idea of having to publicly write down my experiences, along with my thoughts and feeling was slightly scary to me because I wouldn’t know who would be seeing my blogs. However, as time went by, I slowly but surely got used to writing in my blogs. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to do new things, such as using Stop Motion, audacity, Premiere Pro, and more. I will admit to finding some of the software difficult to use, such as photoshop, and Illustrator. However, I am adamant to keep on learning how to use them, so that I can be able to create more projects. My favourite project/ assignment was probably using Stop Motion. Even though it took such a long time, I re...

Poster design

Feeling slightly uneasy about Adobe Illustrator, I still went ahead to use it to make my poster. It was going well, until it wasn’t. The Poster was supposed to be for our Lecturer’s nephew, who is a musician (who plays the classical guitar). He was having a concert in France, and wanted an advertisement for it (this being the poster).  My original idea was to have an image of a classical guitar, and both Charlie Richardson and the other half to his duo Anne-Lise Vaumoron in the guitar with details of the event around it. I had decided to use elements of Tony Harmer's video to help with my idea. However, I found it very difficult to create and ended up having to start again several times. By the fifth time, I had decided to give up my original idea. Unfortunately, I came to the decision to leave out the picture of Richardson and Anne-Lise. To be completely honest, I was not the biggest fan of the photo options we were given for the poster, so I wasn’t too disappointed. In the end, m...

Another trip to a museum

I wanted to visit two museums after the classes I had for the past couple of weeks. The first museum I went to was the Saatchi gallery. Seeing as I went there rather spontaneously, I was not able to go to any of the private exhibitions. However, they did have one free exhibition, named Studio: Response. It was an exhibition collaborating with three artists, Luke Hannam, Tom Norris and Luke Routledge.  Luke Routledge did the sculptures, Tom Norris created the ceramic vases and Luke Hannam painted the canvas art. My favourite was the art done by Luke Hannam, especially since it was painted on canvas, which is something I had never seen before in a gallery. Seeing the various patterns, colours and textures that the artists had used were rather fascinating to me, and I thought the exhibition was quite nice. To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the exhibition was, but nevertheless, I found the art to be interesting, and I will definitely look further into t...
