<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have altered my spreads in various ways, for example the colours are more neutral and allow the overall appearance to appear more professional. Also I have elongated the photos on the front cover, which are now more prominent.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have included tabs along the left hand side of the page, which makes the entire composition look as though it belongs in a magazine.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have used only one copy of the house at full opacity, as the second lowered opacity copy didn't relate to the article or have much relevance. Instead I have decided to incorporate an image of a georgian hotel, which is located directly behind the georgian architecture article. The spread is easier to understand this way, and allows the reader to navigate around the page effectively. I am pleased with the end result, as the colour theme and typeface choices are some features which make the magazine appear interesting and contemporary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The entire filming process was made fairly easy with my HD webcam. It took 5 hours to capture almost 740 shots, this may seem like alot but I wanted only very subtle movements to ensure that the film would run smoothly. I used lighting adjustments on the webcam to control the nature of the atmosphere and visual appearance of the scenes. I swapped the day scene with the night scene around halfway through the animation, purely for a more interesting contrast...I really like the creepy shadowy effect! :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">After some consideration of the design of my layouts, I used Indesign to inject some more exciting visual elements into them. Instead of using my sketches, I decided to enhance my work by adding the photographs I took but with a high level of contrast. I have also tried to use a colour scheme which appears consistent throughout all of the pages, indicating they are part of a set.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I started using Indesign after one of our practice sessions, and began to arrange the text in various ways. I experimented with type and constructed some initial layouts. I also decided to incorporate some of my architecture sketches into it, however they don't look as professional as I suspected they would. Perhaps I could later use them in my ideas, but in a much more subtle manner?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The original intention was to include tubes of paint, that would become a part of the animation by filming the acrylic being squeezed out of the tube and making the markings for the roads on the pop-up sets. However I have decided to not include this, as I don't want to overcomplicate matters. I am aiming for a very simplistic, yet effective look!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These are some of the best photos that I took for the project. Altogether I took around 30 shots, which I am required to import into Imovie and edit into a video with an accompanying soundtrack. I chose 'Bella's Lullaby' from the film 'Twilight', which is a slow piano instrumental track. I chose it because it suits the peaceful pace and nature of my images, and it seems to work well when I test it as a whole piece in Imovie.</span></div>Moulson1007101http://www.blogger.com/profile/18008981218734235943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046342901676072670.post-32166550485946914442012-02-28T06:18:00.001-08:002012-04-19T05:58:15.248-07:00Storyboards and scene mock ups!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1MZRJR98jasonWsNtaD6NfYyflCudKr4yY3_4-oBfu4x1P2QFs-yBg5tb_jF6_Zdt6WUSkRa7HmmLvm0dghHEvfi5arVcLfsvhqjJHVFgeSR93SOYQDvH4nYBH8Q_dzYgLx72Xdufa0I/s1600/Storyboard+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1MZRJR98jasonWsNtaD6NfYyflCudKr4yY3_4-oBfu4x1P2QFs-yBg5tb_jF6_Zdt6WUSkRa7HmmLvm0dghHEvfi5arVcLfsvhqjJHVFgeSR93SOYQDvH4nYBH8Q_dzYgLx72Xdufa0I/s1600/Storyboard+1.jpg" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">After weeks of learning the basics of Adobe flash, I have finally been assigned my main brief for the Dynamic Imagery module - Animation! I am required to produce a video that is a minimum of 1 minute in length, and has a narrative with accompanying sounds. I began by brainstorming 'Narrative' and all the things I could associate with it. I sought inspiration from the internet in terms of youtube videos, and found some that captured my attention. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I also created a sheet of initial sketch ideas with a small mind map, further communicating my intentions for the animation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In order to gain a sense of how architecture magazines are structured compostionally, I went out and purchased a copy of 'Blueprint' architecture. Here I have selected some of the most inspiring, colourful examples of layouts which I will use for inspiration within my work.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The thick coloured borders suggest a more modern style of design, which looks quite effective. Also I like how some images are kept boxed and constrained, whereas others are almost free-floating on the page. This ensures the layout doesn't appear too chunky or tightly structured.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For my 'Experimental Type' brief, I am required to produce a front cover and 2 DPS layouts for a magazine called 'Arkitekt'. It is based on architecture and aimed at aspiring architects and designers, and my aim is to create a display of contemporary pages. I started out by exploring the local city of Wolverhampton's buildings, and studying the various architectural elements within them. Above are some of the best photographs I took, and I also did some observational drawings of some key features. </span></div>Moulson1007101http://www.blogger.com/profile/18008981218734235943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046342901676072670.post-47860206131854363382011-12-11T04:22:00.000-08:002011-12-11T18:48:34.892-08:00Final outcomes....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Horizon Titlepage</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After much consideration of my thumbnail visuals and ideas, I eventually produced my 'Horizon' student zine titlepage. It consists of a very theatrical-style theme, with a unique contemporary twist that is aimed at fellow young freshers students. The bold 'Horizon' heading is positioned on the left hand side, with wide spacing inbetween each letterform. The unusual nature of the typeface adds to the modern look of the zine, and effectively communicates what exciting entertainment the City of Wolverhampton has on offer for students!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYXjrIDFcSk1juyYI3Ap7cWg5vq0G470B4vrsIgj2fTdpFogdOrJizbNZpE5KPqMtSWM6NByC2yIW_3g0phB3MsSrvzTJt54KF6UJLOinLmqnmna-B62tkLeBwvzvbs1AT2TLFkkX_sTg/s1600/horizon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYXjrIDFcSk1juyYI3Ap7cWg5vq0G470B4vrsIgj2fTdpFogdOrJizbNZpE5KPqMtSWM6NByC2yIW_3g0phB3MsSrvzTJt54KF6UJLOinLmqnmna-B62tkLeBwvzvbs1AT2TLFkkX_sTg/s320/horizon.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>'Hello and Welcome' DPS </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This is my final design outcome for my 'Hello and Welcome' DPS. It is simple yet effective, and includes some formal subheadings which work well in contrast with the Century Gothic typeface that is evident within the paragraphs. Throughout the entire zine, each page is linked by a relationship between the typefaces used and the general visual appearance. The beginning paragraph has a thicker tonal definition to reinforce prominance, as this introductory section is crucial. </span></div><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have finally reached an outcome for my theatre entertainment layout. After alot of alterations and experimentation, I have managed to produce a DPS that reflects my theme through careful use of typography and visual imagery. By adding emphasis on certain words, this captures the audiences attention and provokes further thought. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Throughout the spread, I have used wacky typeface styles to promote the theme of dramatic showbiz action. On contrast, for the paragraph content I have used the Century Gothic typeface in various thicknesses to balance out the nature of the DPS. I think that the small visual elements are effective because they suggest a sense of glamour, </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">and allow the audience to envision the theatre environment with ease. </span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For the second part of my typography brief, I am required to produce an introductory 'Hello and Welcome' DPS layout consisting of a 600 word introduction to the zine. This will be followed by a front cover design, reading the title for the magazine 'Horizon' or an alternative title of my choice. I started to produce some initial thumbnail sketches for both, which are reminiscent of my theatre theme.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I took one of my thumbnail sketch ideas into Indesign and began to develop it. For the first paragraph I used a more prominant tone of type, to create a contrast between the rest of the writing. The bold subtitles are very theatrical-style which helps to add interest and excitement to the piece.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Here are two alternative designs for my front page, created using Indesign software. The left hand design has a grid-formation background which is intended to be reminiscent of a pixel theatre screen. However I felt that the complex background overshadowed the rest of the layout content, so I experimented with a more ordinary, basic style.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I sought advice from the course leader Jeff leak, who advised me to explore a site called 'fontsquirrel' which proved to be extremely useful for the development of my work. He suggested that I should perhaps reconsider my typeface choices, as they did not seem suitable for my theme. Jeff looked at my initial layouts and advised me to alter my alignments, and perhaps take my theatre theme into more consideration. I drew up some potential improved layouts, and then created them in Indesign...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I decided to explore some of the exciting typefaces on the Fontsquirrel website, and download them for my own personal reference. I then incorporated some of them into my layouts, which enhanced the appearance and overall composition of my ideas. I feel that I have been able to progress much more this week with my work, and I am more confident when experimenting with new possibilities.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I wanted to reflect the showbiz glamour and excitement of the theatrical experience through my layouts. I started by experimenting with the curtain lines in photoshop, using gradients to give a more realistic impression. This gives the entire piece a more themed, professional look. I added subtle elements that are reminiscent of theatre architecture such as spotlights, and I incorporated bordered boxes outlined with dots for text. This design is much more imaginative than my previous ones, however I think that compositionally it is weak. The layout of text could be more well considered.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For this layout, I used a fontsquirrel typeface called 'Impact label' which places a dramatic poster-style black box around text. I wanted to enhance certain keywords, like the titles 'Grease' and 'theatre experiences'. I chose the 50's style 'brush script MT' main title typeface because it brings a fun, quirky quality to the appearance of the layout. Each section of words is presented at a certain angle on the pages, communicating a dramatic 'broadway advertisement' impression. This layout is the most exciting, and the most successful. However, I still feel that it needs to be adjusted slightly to fit the brief criteria.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The text seems randomly placed, and could be positioned more appropriately in relation to the theme. I think that the 'pristina' typeface works well for communicating the grand, fancy element of theatre architecture. I also think that the gradual incline of paragraph text above the theatre seat image is unusual and thought provoking.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">(Developed DPS layout idea)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This DPS layout is an improved version of the first. This time I have paid closer attention to the hierachy of the piece, and how it could be used to enhance more important keywords. These will provoke interest from the viewer, and encourage them to read further. Words such as 'excitement' and 'experience' are printed in a larger typeface, to contrast with the rest of the text. These subtle changes make this layout more successful, and more easily readable to the audience.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">(Final DPS layout idea, combination of both serif/sans serif typefaces used)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is a more finalized version of the previous layout. I thought that the right-hand page of the DPS lacked consistent content, and there appeared to be little connection between the two adjacent pages. I chose keywords from the paragraphs and increased the size and thickness of the typeface. Then I positioned these letters in the empty area on the right-hand page to create a consistent spread of text. The theatre seat image is positioned at a slight inwards angle, which leads the viewers eye into the opposing pages content. The pristina/century gothic typefaces used are maintained throughout the DPS, and allow for a subtle simplicity. Although this layout is the most successful yet, I still feel that there are compositional/typeface elements which could be improved in further design layouts.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I visited the Georgian Gallery, the Victorian gallery, the 'BP portrait award exhibition' space and the Ed Ruscha exhibition area.

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I explored the 'BP portrait award exhibition' room, and discovered this very atmospheric piece. The subtle, varied facial expressions captured my attention instantly and also the composition of the piece allowed me to view the painting in a different way. The colours are deep and complimentary of one another, and they are repeated and applied throughout each image to give a very discreet appearance. The entire portrait showcases a very emotional state of the subject, and how a persons physical appearance can change dramatically according to how they are feeling. This is one of my favourite pieces from the visit, because I was intrigued by its mysterious quality that captures the viewer instantly.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This piece 'Wanderflower' is very expressive and promotes a sense of glamour and showbiz. It is a very unique, outstanding piece of work and varies alot from the other gallery works. The eyes are dramatic and colourful, and draw the viewers attention. The textured, soft white background is very basic which allows us to focus on the facial detail in more depth. There is a delicate, beautiful nature about this piece that I find fascinating.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I like this piece because it has a subtle conflicting nature, but at the same time shows a very peaceful environment. There is a contrast between the elements, which creates visual interest. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The colours are warm and inviting in the foreground, and there appears to be a united link between the characters. However the background creates a very different, negative atmosphere. Two animals are colliding in a vicious battle, with the characters seemingly unaware of the situation. The sky seems overpowering with harsh colours, to reflect the partial brutal nature of the piece.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Most of the galleries I have visited in the past have not interested me because they tend to be mostly paintings. I favour sculpture, and I was excited to see some fantastic displays of predominantly sculptural artwork showcased on the various floors. Within this post I have written my thoughts on some of my favourite pieces in the gallery, and why they are interesting to me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This sculpture is very overpowering, but so unique.Standing below these unsteady plates gives a feeling of intimidation to the viewer, and the entire exhibition was very similar. I took a close up look of each plate, and each one had a glossy sheen that allowed me to assume they were ceramic. However, after reading the description I discovered that the plates are actually made from plastic.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The opening piece to the Robert Therrien exhibition was this table and chair set sculpture. The exaggerated size was daunting at first, but at the same time very intriguing. Never before have I felt so affected by a piece of art, and it provoked many thoughts. It reminded me of the Alice in wonderland story, about a character being trapped in an oversized world.</span></div><br />
<div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuU6_gU-M5lFRN7geaUmhfRmYz6hgXetDhOtTi_6TcrtZlBGMGHpOdcGE_2EcgtWu5arB8CJ5VZ011oxWIUEWnS-jlpKcEsRAqxnOgrulSc70DUkOWP_MT70-qqs_m-SW7gBTMW_1Gg6w/s1600/aaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuU6_gU-M5lFRN7geaUmhfRmYz6hgXetDhOtTi_6TcrtZlBGMGHpOdcGE_2EcgtWu5arB8CJ5VZ011oxWIUEWnS-jlpKcEsRAqxnOgrulSc70DUkOWP_MT70-qqs_m-SW7gBTMW_1Gg6w/s320/aaa.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">No title (large red brick drawing) 2003 </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">This piece was in the same room as the stacked plate sculpture, and is easily overlooked. I was overwhelmed by the oversized furnishings, but I eventually took notice of this subtle piece in the corner. I like the simplicity of it, and it works well as a contrast with the complex nature of the enormous plates.</span> </span><br />

This deformed shape is very unusual for a sculpture, and almost looks human-like. The positioning of the piece on the edge of the box allows the shadows to form in unexpected places. When the light hits the surface, it appears to have a slight rippled, yet smooth texture.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />

I was somewhat surprised to see that Koons had created such a simple piece of art, as I consider his usual style to be quite wacky. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br />

After seeing various images of this work throughout the years, I always failed to understand the concept or reasoning behind such a piece. I was under the assumption that perhaps witnessing the original item firsthand would allow me to understand its purpose, and that somehow it might have a unique quality about it that cannot be expressed through a photograph. However I do not think that it is visually pleasing, or has any interesting qualities. Possibly one of the most disappointing pieces I have seen. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />

I was aiming to get some shots of the layout/architectural structure of the theatre, and the staff were kind enough to assist. My thoughts are to combine my ideas of both architecture and entertainment, and communicate this through my type choice and imagery on my DPS (double page spread) zine. I gathered some various shots but found that this theatre was more basic and didn't have the grand, decorative architecture i had in mind for my images. I requested a tour of the Wolverhampton Grand theatre which is a much larger building, but i was unfortunately rejected. My next step is to analyze my research and experiment with images, layouts, and type.</span>Moulson1007101http://www.blogger.com/profile/18008981218734235943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046342901676072670.post-55863850361389770422011-09-29T14:21:00.000-07:002011-12-11T18:48:02.620-08:00Exploring the black country<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Here is some of my most recent work for my type fundamentals project. I am required to discover and collect visuals/information on a particular aspect of Wolverhampton that will appeal to freshers students, and create a double page spread including text and imagery based on my chosen topic. Initially I decided to take a tour of Wolverhampton and collect photographs/drawings, focusing mainly on architecture and entertainment (haven't quite decided which one to choose yet) However I feel that I have gathered predominantly visual evidence, and perhaps a re-visit to the town is necessary. During my next visit, I hope to collect leaflets and maybe even take tours of the theatre, to get a clearer idea of how words and typography are used to advertise shows/entertainment. After that, let the design work commence!</span>Moulson1007101http://www.blogger.com/profile/18008981218734235943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046342901676072670.post-42302764986181146802011-09-27T13:13:00.000-07:002011-12-11T18:47:53.474-08:00A smile in the mind...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqZGT5xQDzjNob1SZXkPKgR2OZesiUhPQmCwu6g0LZOoYE8RXy-mpRRJNoTTpb-FoQvzUtZdfPNLXR5LgwfNN8TMOUiGPR7L2P7rhSRvwzoT5zrLLgRGVBcXwzdrWtKYSYBbSSo25trw/s1600/cover-pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqZGT5xQDzjNob1SZXkPKgR2OZesiUhPQmCwu6g0LZOoYE8RXy-mpRRJNoTTpb-FoQvzUtZdfPNLXR5LgwfNN8TMOUiGPR7L2P7rhSRvwzoT5zrLLgRGVBcXwzdrWtKYSYBbSSo25trw/s320/cover-pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>During my typography session, my tutor suggested this book for inspiration.
