Motion Graphics.....company Indent

The purpose of this project wasn't just to give the students a chance to explore affects effects, but to give us the opportunity in working with a client. We made in groups a company then approached another group to design our company indent. My group was set the task of designing for Soap Railway....A Fashion based company who sells all the leading fashion from soap operas. For example if you were dying for Pat butchers fux fur coat, you could go online and purchase it from Soap Railway! Clients specified the use of the blue colour, the typography and having a hanger incorporated into the design. Here's my first attempt of After effects ever! (These are a working progress) The first one below is probably a little too short, and I used built in effects to achieve the finished piece, not so keen on this myself if I'm honest.

I think one is getting closer to the look I want. I think some more tutorials are needed to get that hanger swinging after it makes contact with the letters, and the letters themselves fade in alot cleaner than the first one. I played around with opacity for this one.

Original sketches of characters face!

character profile for walk sequence

This how it will break down when it is brought into flash, the leg pieces and arms

will be duplicated to create right and left.

simplifing the hair so the jpeg can be converted to bitmap then vector

in flash without losing important lines

first idea of colours, will keep it similar in flash, brightening up the hair 

and fix the clothes

I changed the colour to black as the logo would have had too many colours otherwise.

Final logo design, using the badger and puffin.

Final front of business card!

Final back of business card

Overall I am pleased with the final design!

     I wanted to keep the typography simple as my illustrations were the most important design  in the logo

Below are the first drafts of the logo I created and a business card design. 

Playing around with the layout out using the badger doodle

Next 2down are a business card design

Back of card

Front of card

Badger with heart design

Puffin design

Here I began adding in other characters

into the logo,this one here seems a bit too much having 3illustrations.

The hedgehog and badger with heart are out of place here.

The aim was to use illustrator to create a vector image as a logo. the designs before are my own illustrations using illustrator.  I have never used this software before but found it easy enough and created these characters to add to the logo.

little badger vector, wanted this to feel like a character

another badger, this one dose not work as well as the first's doodle style

simple but effective hedgehog!

I really like how this puffin vector finished!

This is the presentation of my final analysis that includes all my final work to date. It shows all my graphs and spread sheets and the final ideas.  From this I decided the sports app/betting app, would be the most original idea and practical as it is mobile and it will make facebook money.

These links are to to the spread sheet I originally completed to record my findings from my character summary essays.  The spread sheets show the design opportunities I gathered from my classmates after they read the essays.  I left my own comments beside the classmates to show my own thoughts on what was write.  The spread sheet is broken down into user one and user two, and the comments are broken into the headings of motivation, interaction, interface and visual.
I then completed a filter spread with 10 different filters. This was to break down the comments to find the most popular ones.
The bar graph visually represents this.
The scatter graph was to narrow the ideas further.  I used 2of my filters, the yes/no and the mobile/not mobile filter to put them into groups.  I decided the yes and mobile box would be the group where the design opportunity would come from.

In interactive design we were giving the task of character recording two Facebook users.  The first was myself and second had to be someone you knew but in a different age group.  I chose my aunt. Above are the essays I used to record how Facebook is used within my own life and my Catrina's, the point of this essay was to find the user's motivation for using facebook and to give the bases on finding how Facebook could improve. These essays are the beginning of a process that will inevitably find out where the design opportunities are within Facebook.

women's aid brochure

front cover

These are some examples of the pages I worked on first in black, you have to ignore the white bleed border and the odd sizes, it is a first draft!!

women's aid brochure

Front and back cover,
sizes still need tidied up
but its getting there.

Few pages from the 24 page brochure I created for women's aid.  Using typography and mark marking to create the look I wanted a David Carson influence without losing my own style. I used blurred type like him and the marks.  Originally in black, I was told maybe this deep purple would appeal more to the women.  Personally I prefer the black!
