I-D magazine cover

This is my final design for the Magazine cover task. I have edited the photo. I made it black and white then used photoshop effects to return color to some parts of the image. I used Red to match the color scheme. I am the model in these pictures and the photo was taken by Supa. I think that the cover turned out well.

Video And Editing

I did not get a chance to do that task

Overall Evaluation

We were asked to do a number of different things. Things related to music and fashion inspired by music. Like creating Cd covers & Posters. And we had to make stop motion videos too. And make blogs along with doing studio portraits.

The research that i have done throughout my work has helped to inspire all of my work. I have used some ideas and effects to enhance the quality of my own work.

I took my own photos for all of my tasks. I think that they turned out quite well too.
I used the studio camera, photography cameras and even my own phone camera to complete my work.
Using the studio camera was the highest quality, while using my phone camera was the worst.

If i were to do these projects again i would make them more professional and do more research. I am happy with how they turned out and i am happy with my overall work.

Blog Evaluation

we were asked to create blogs to store our work on to be graded, and to update them with work and research regularly. We did studio portraits where we worked with others in the studio.

I researched some different styles and effects for camera use. These helped influence effects that were used in the studio portraits.  I wanted them to be creative.

We used different backlighting to change the colors behind the models. I think that that effect worked well.

I think that we achieved what w had wanted to, Both in studio portraits and Blogs. I was able to successfully post my research and work onto the blog. And the portraits turned out quite well.

If I were to do this again i wold probably put much more research on my blog and maybe try more different effects in the studio.

Stop Motion Evaluation

We were asked to create a stop motion video using photos that we had taken. We also had to research existing stop motion videos and make a test video too.

The research i did helped me understand how to make a stop motion video work. I looked at existing stop motion videos such as 'T-Shirt war' It was very creative. It showed me how creative stop motion video making can be.

I took my own photos for my stop motion videos, i took them using the camera on my phone.

I experimented with using different toys, such as plastic boats and Lego. I think that those ideas turned out quite well.

If i were to make my stop motion videos again, i would definitely use a better quality camera. I would use a camera stand too so i could keep the camera in one place while taking the photos, I think that the movement of the camera in my videos kind of ruined them. I might even get people involved in the next one.

Stop motion Video

This is my stop motion video. The video is of a lego ninja, using a katana, fighting a lego dragon. The picture quality isn't very good because i had to take the pictures using my phone. But this is my finished stop motion video. The music is Cops'n Robbers by Sagisu Shiro. I Made the opening and ending images on photoshop. I like the way that this turned out but it could have been a lot better.

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.
Model: Supa

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.
