Photography Evaluation

We were asked to Create a Poster/Flyer and a Cd cover using photography. We also had research to do.

The research i did helped to influence the way i made my posters and Cd cover. I was doing my poster for a katy perry tour and my Cd cover for a band of my making. I researched the style of katy perry and came up with some initial designs and ideas.

I took my own photos to use on both the poster and Cd cover.

I wanted to use a dull background for the poster to make the cartoons stand out more. And for the Cd cover i wanted to make it black and white with a goth-like theme.

I think that using the graveyard on the Cd cover was a good idea to set the kind of mood i was aiming for. And i think that using the bright colors that i did for the poster was a good idea because those kind of colors usually portray katy perry. The drawing that i did and edited did not work too well so i didn't use it.

If i were to make these again i would make them more professional and try to get a model involved next time. I think that i achieved most of what i wanted to do in this section of my work.

Blog intro

we have been creating and updating these blogs with all of our work for photography. We show all of our work and research on here.

Stop Motion Research

This is a stop motion video, it is called t-shirt wars. where two men have a war using t-shirts and stop motion to create great effects. I like this video and think is is a great use of stop motion. It is also very creative. I want my stop motion video to be creative too and maybe i can use some ideas from this video to influence my video.

Test Stop Motion Video

This is my test stop motion video. I think that this is ok for a test video. I took some plastic boats and arranged them in different ways. I took the photos using my mobile phone camera.

Studio wink work

We worked in the studio taking i-D wink images. We then edited them to turn them into magazine covers. The one on the left is the original design and the one on the right is the one i made black and white. I think that that one looks good but i think i prefer the original color design. I edited the images using photoshop.

Cd cover design

This is my final design of my Cd cover. This is the template. The two sections at the side will be folded into the middle to created pockets for the Cd's. I decided to make it all in black and white. I think it had more effect this way. For the front and back sections i used the threshold effect on some photos i had taken. I added the text and little character. For the pocket images i took photos of a graveyard and made the pictures black and white. It would be made of card and be sized to fit the disc. I think it turned out ok.

Cd cover Packaging research

This is typical Cd Packaging. A plastic box where the Cd is located in the middle held in by plastic. The cover image is inserted in the clear plastic . This is a very common way to box a Cd. The back image goes into the plastic part of the back of the box. The box keeps the Cd itself safe from damage and is a good. This is typical Cd Packaging.

This Cd packaging is a bit more different. Its more creative than the usual plastic box. But its true that this design wouldn't really protect the Cd well from damage as it has holes where the disc shows. This is a simple template design of cardboard.

This is the same kind of template cardboard design as the packaging above, except the Disc has more protection and there are more graphics on the outside. The added images make it more appealing. 

This is a creative Disc Case. It is inside a plastic case shaped like a donut. I think that is clever as it relates to the Cd content. Being shaped like a donut, the case comes in a box that has the shape of a cake box. This is strange packaging and is entertaining. 

This Cd case is made of cardboard and takes a strange box shape. It looks creative and different. The design itself though is rather simple but still effective.
