geekysideburns replied to your post: I’m having a hard time no…
Have you gotten to reference layers yet because OMG.
WAT IS THAT
Here’s what I’m trying to say in gif form. I rambled insanely.
The blue layer is set to reference.
Then you can do this.
And this.
Ohhhhhh that is so cool :O :O :O

Stamp Project Progress
Shown below is one of my current in progress stamp designs to commemorate British Grand Prix heroes, I'm currently working on showing speed through art forms.

Wales Millenium Centre
Type and architecture make a great match but even more so when the type is elevated to be the main feature.
Last week I was at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales. This huge arts building celebrates its 10th birthday this year and was designed by architect Jonathan Adams to express “Welshness” and be instantly recognisable. The main frontage is clad in steel coated in copper oxide.
Inspired by Roman classical architecture, two ‘monumental’ poetic lines are emblazoned above the main entrance, formed from large windows which are illuminated at night.
The passages, by Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis, read in Welsh: “Creu Gwir fel gwydr o ffwrnais awen”, which means “Creating truth like glass from the furnace of inspiration.” The English is “In These Stones Horizons Sing”.
Spot the beautifully formed Ff ligature.

Advertorial Evaluation
Shown above is my finished advertorial piece, the magazine that I mirrored the format of was the National Geographic Explorer, shown below.
As you can see I have mirrored the formatting of the magazine almost exactly; I am pleased with the way that this has turned out, a class mate has said "It looks very close to the original and I would believe it was part of the magazine if I didn't know it was made by a student."
The reason I chose to create an advertorial in the national geographic is because it is read by my audience as shown in my research file.
Overall, I am very pleased with my advertorials legitimacy, the only thing I would change is the title font as it is slightly different from the one that I use.
Advertising Research
I like the way that this advertisement makes use of the environment around it, the scale of the advertisement really helps to draw in the eye of the viewer, it is also quite amusing to look at.
I find this advertisement to the be very unique and interesting as it shows the different haircuts heading up the escalator, I think it is very eye catching as it hasn't been done before, and I'm sure that everyone who heads up the escalator would of made sure to look down.
I like this advertisement as it shows various music erupting from the iPod and expanding out of the billboard itself, It is very eye catching and colorful and really makes you want to buy the product as it shows exactly what it does.
Evaluation of My Blackpool Animated Gif Advertisement Banner
Shown below is my advertising banner for blackpool:
How my research has supported the development of your ideas in this piece: I wanted to keep my animated banner simple but also remind viewers of the seaside itself, therefore I chose to use a low detail pixel art style for the seaside scene, the tower was added to identify the location of Blackpool to the viewers, the font itself is familiar to the old fonts used at the seaside, adding a feeling of authenticity.
What the proposition of my campaign is: To bring the seasides former audience (Familys) back to Blackpool and to advertise that the location is now 'just like old times'.
Communication issues associated with my advert: The language used is English, this is very hard to understand if you have not learned the language itself, thankfully; foreigners are not my target audience, however; the tower has been added to the seaside scene that will help identify the location.
How clear and comprehensive my idea is: My idea clearly shows the seaside in multiple ways such as; the colour scheme, the animation showing the tide coming in and out towards the beach and the old seaside styled font that is used, the location is stated clearly to the audiences eye.
What are the reactions of people from your target audience:
I have asked a neighboring family about their opinion on my animated gif: "I like that the sea and clouds are animated and nothing else and they draw you into the image, I believe that they help to focus the person looking onto the text in the image,
My children enjoy the colours used as they are simple and eye catching to children."
How my idea is relevant and original:
My idea is relevant because it is an animated beach fitting in with the brief, on top of that the font and tower help to further enforce this.
My idea is original because it is done in a unique style that draws in the target audiences eye as it is colorful and simplistic enough to not complicate the brain of any age, allowing children and parents alike to understand the image, all of the content in the image has been created by myself, the tower and font were done by using reference materials.
What materials and techniques I used to execute my ideas: The majority of my ideas have been created using digital means only using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash CS6, I have also created a pattern in printmaking, using traditional CYMK printmaking techniques.
My idea contains something original that has not been seen before:
The art style I have used has never been combined with typography of the style I have done while also being animated at the same time, this in combination with the setting makes it into a unique and unseen image that attracts attention successfully.
How I could improve my idea:
I could improve this image by spending more time manually animating each and every frame so that the general animation is slower but smoother; however with the current deadline of the project this would not be possible without sacrificing the quality of other pieces.
The strengths of my work:
It has a unique style that is eye catching.
The use of typography in the work does not detract from the image.
The colour scheme used is simple and effective.
The limitations of my work:
A shorter deadline was given to us then usual, we have not had as long to create and refine our work.
The animation process that was used takes a very long amount of time to manually animate every frame so that it is smooth and effective looking.
How I could Improve my work:
I could add extra frames to the animation and details to the general landscape, this may detract from the simplicity however.
I could edit the text colour so that it reflects the word being used.
I could modify the font size and move the text around into a more suitable position.
I could redesign the tower image so that it is more recognizable.
TextAppeal Experiments
I like the shapes within shapes used used in these experiments by Ana Gomez Bernaus of California. Inspired in Spanish Mantillas (a veil worn over the head and shoulders).
Tagline research, we were given random words to generate related words off of; using these words we had to create a tagline using at least two, the words we had were:
Crab
Sand Castles
Clashing Waves
Peace and Quiet.
I believe that the most notable and memorable tagline we have created was The calling of Castles, the Clashing of Waves, the seaside roars again.
David Hockney - Research
David Hockney is a 76 Year old designer/artist/photographer, I will be examining his photography/digital combination work.
David Hockneys photographic work is unique in the way that it's a single image made up of many other images of different angles taken in the same viewpoint; all combining to make one, final image that has a very unique effect, I have used my own take and variations on this style while creating one of my Photo Montage images; as shown below:
As you can see, I have layered multiple images into one, however; these are all from entirely different views of the same area at different times; I have also placed the images into the shape and style of the union jack flag, to represent the British seaside.
I have used a computer to render this image as it creates the same effect as doing it by hand but with less effort required from the user and it may be done in a smaller timescale too, sometimes to greater effect due to the ability to resize images.
I shall be further exploring ways to create Photo Montages in various styles from various designers.
Theme: The British Seaside.
Target Audience: Middle aged adults with children.
Aim: To invoke memory of a British holiday from adults younger lives.
Do I effectively convey my theme to my target audience: Yes, as the British flag links to Britain, and the seaside is present in the image; all of the images used are of the British seaside too.
The Blackpool Comedy Carpet - Infographics
Below, a map of the Blackpool Comedy Carpet is shown:
The Blackpool comedy carpet is a 2,200m2 work designed by Gordon Young and Why Not Associates, it contains the jokes and references to the work of 1000 comedians and comedy writers, it pushes the scale of typography to a whole new level, I personally enjoy the piece because of it's Giant scale that's unlike any other work I've seen; this can be seen below, compared to a human being:
As you can see, the scale of the infographic is incredible; with all of the information being intresting and unique; all of it appealing to a viewers eye, it encapsulates bystanders effectively, it is also set out like a newspaper, making it very traditional.
Roland DG Website Styles/Themes: An Evaluation
Shown above are my finished theme styles of the Roland DG brief, my favourite out of the three is the YouTube banner as is has a subtle yet effective way of showing the logo of the company in a unique way.
Theme: Roland DG (Printing)
Target Audience: Companys + Independent designers.
Purpose: To advertise Roland DG through the use of social media banners.
Thoughts: I am pleased with the final products for each of these styles, however if I were to have extra time I would change the Roland DG website banner's colour scheme and change the pattern too, experimenting until I found something that fitted with he websites theme.
Art Movements Timeline: An evaluation
Here is my finished timeline of the key art movements, I believe that the background needs replacing by something else and if I had extra time I would replace it.
Another Roland Dg logo created in collaboration with tomoroay
theme: business like gif displaying the company logo.
purpose: to show that Roland Dg is a printing company.
when making this animation we had the idea of having the logo moving across the page. Once we had the basic logo in place we decided to change the colour of it as it moved then have the company name appear. I am very pleased with this work and I think the end result meets it purpose and audience.
I have collaborated with blogmegansworld to create this animated gif.
Thoughts: I am pleased with the turnout of the gif as I think it looks very professional and business like and could fit in onto the Roland DG website very well.
If we were to have extra time to create the gif we would experiment with different background layers for the gif.
Still life Photography: Evaluation
Shown above are 4 still life photographs I have taken in a photography studio, I chose to use the dragon model object of mine as it has a large amount of detail and has a lot of potential for editing the colours of the images, I am pleased with the fidelity and result of the images I have photographed.
If I had extra time I would try different materials at the background of the dragon.
