Xmas Cards

Scans of the winning xmas cards from the V&A Christmas Card Competition. The colour scheme was red, black and white only and my personal favorite is card three. - though i think they are all good!
Thanks to mum for having such good taste in xmas cards!

Mapping Project - Flash!

At the moment i am still creating my interactive Flash Document, but here you can see the build up of the character - and the animation of each body part - She's called Rhonda!

Mapping Project - Booklet

The final outcome of my mapping project was to track the movements people make to the song Green Onions by Booker T and The MG's. I'm planning on moving this into Adobe Flash and create a interactive animation where you can click different parts of the body to see which instrument most people tapped along to which body part.
Not as complicated as it sounds! For example: Most people tapped their forefinger along to the cymbal, so therefore if you click the finger, the finger will start tapping and the cymbal will start playing. Only once you have clicked on all the body parts you will hear the hole song in all its glory!
To aid this map i created my key in this little book shown above. It shows the different body parts you are able to click and gives a short blurb about the background research put into my project.

Mapping Project - Filming

I conducted some filming during this project to collect the relevant statistics to take forward. I found out some very interesting stats such as most males tapped to the drum beat while the females mainly tapped to the organ. Above are some stills from the selection of films.

Mapping Project

This was some of my initial research for my mapping project. I starting to create some large scale prints of people physically tapping along to the song Green Onions. The body parts i used were: Hand, Finger, Knee, Head, Shoulder and Foot.

Group Mapping Brief

Group work where we had to create statistics and maps around given information.
We liked the project so much that we are currently creating this into a book which should be up later! :)

Restrictions

Our new brief was to design 4 Double Page Spreads based around the word "Infiltration".
I had alot of fun with with project!

Camera Filters

I started playing around with some camera filters over summer. The two I used for these photographs were a lens flare and sepia tint filter.

Amsterdam

Last month I went on a trip to Amsterdam to visit the Dutch Museums and Exhibitions.

The Van Gogh Museum was a personal favorite.

On the ferry on the way back, the lights from the Dutch Docks looked great - here are some photographs.

Study Skills Workshops

This week we were given a selection of quotes and a selection of images which we had to pair together to create a selection of postcards.

We had 2.5 hours to complete this brief.

Above are my 2 postcard outcomes.

Study Skills Workshops

Once a week at Uni we have a Study Skills Workshop. This is where we get set a 2.5 hour brief which has to be completed within the time limit.

Last week we got given a page of copy and had to rearrange it into a type only flyer layout.

Above are two of my best InDesign conclusions.

Summer Project

The 2nd outcome for my summer project was based around the starting point: Mud.

I had a lot of fun with this project, creating giant mud letters in my back garden.

I also created a flip book displaying all the individual mud letters.

Project inspired by Stefan Sagmeister
