Messaging Tiff

I messaged my Step mum, who works as a product developer for DeliFrance, because she has some contacts with a couple of design agencies in Leicester that she has used before. The first is an agency called Juice, who they used for a lot of their branding material and Tiff gave me the e-mail of the best contact for me to get in touch with. The second was an independent designer who has done some work for them also. I want to next build a website and create a CV before contacting these people with some questions about working in a design agency and as an independent designer, along with a link to my website and a copy of my CV attached also.

The final piece from our group.

Evaluation - Galvanise

For this project we where put in to teams and given the choice of five briefs, each had been real briefs issued in industry over the past few years. Immediately making a strong relationship with the group we dived straight in and chose a typography themed brief. We felt it gave us the most scope to show off our skills. We also felt that because some of the other briefs where for existing companies, that may add extra pressure for us because we felt said companies already had great promotional material. 

So off the bat we decided it would be a good start to get an online presence so created our Facebook page and immediately started posting relevant. Me and a few of the others in the group also created short original videos that we felt would hit home with our demographic. The facebook page was a great start and got us going in the direction we needed to be going in and also provided a good place for all of us to produce original content.

After the first week we hit a little bit of a road block with ideas and some of the initial ideas that we had and wanted to work with didn’t quite come to fruition. Personally during week 2 and 3 of the project I was quite ill and didn’t provide the input I would have liked too, this included me missing some of our presentations. I felt like at this stage I may have let the team down a small bit but they reassured me that as long as the final product was completed there would be no problems.

So after a few long weeks of misdirection we finally established a steady direction and opted to go for a video to raise awareness of homelessness in our city. We went down this route as it was become too far fetched to raise awareness for problems further away from home and whilst walking around Cardiff we noticed it was a growing issue. We reached out to a few homeless shelters looking for some kind of interview that we could integrate typography into but had no response so took the project into our own hands and came up with our concept. We decided to take shots of the town centre and track typography to the walls with a voice over in time with the typography.

We went out and filmed the shots as a group and were all pleased with the results, we then issued clips to each member of the group to work on, brought it all together and it was then complied and graded by Mari who did an excellent job of guiding the group throughout. Overall I am pleased with the final product.  I am disappointed in my lack of engagement through weeks 2 and 3, however I do feel i redeemed myself towards the start and end of the project.

Here are a few screen shots from the text tracking I did for the group project. It was a little bit tricky getting the right angle for the text on the wall but after spending a lot of time fine tweaking it I feel managed to get it looking pretty good. Happy with the end product.

A small piece of work I did for our group project. To teach profesional practise we have to create a small mock company and work on one of five real briefs used in the industry last year. We chose a typography brief, here is a small idea of what we will be working towards....
