Conclusion

Today I conclude my blog entries for the year. Final major project draws ever closer to its submission date and I will be ready.

I am very happy with my overall progress and still have time to tie together some outstanding pieces of paperwork needed between now and the 19th May.

I will be gathering pieces of work from my contributors and evidence I helped on another project today. Pieces outstanding to this date include a detailed evaluation, a completed bibliography and a printed hard copy of this blog.

The next stage will be collating all my work in order and arranging my portfolio ready for submission.

I have bought a DVD from the resources department this morning ready to burn my advert. I have planned to work with Apple iDVD software this morning to create a working DVD at the correct aspect ratio with an interactive menu.

I am extremely happy with my billboard advert and spoke to my tutor Kelly Elston to find a graphics printer to print a high quality A1 print (if possible) to mount for submission.

These are the tasks I have set myself today so I can convert my digital media into tangible pieces of work I can hand in on the 19th May.

The Easter break is over and I have gone over my portfolio to date to perfection. Today I will look again at my finished billboard advertisement and TV advert and begin re-mastering them.

I have thought up a few things I could alter and amend over the holidays and will start by adding some effects to my TV advert.

The first half of the morning I have spent speaking with my lecturer Tracy Turner to evaluate my project and to check if I am working on task for the 19th May deadline.

Editing my TV advert has been a bigger challenge than expected. I have developed a good energy gauge which I will incorporate into my billboard advertisement to create a link between both my print ad and TV ad.

Today’s agenda will be exploring masking techniques to slowly reveal the energy gauge in sync with Red Bull filling the glass.

If I run into problems today I will consider approaching classroom peers or a member of staff for advice. However I think I can work independently and complete my TV advert today.

Production part.5

I have begun editing my TV advert this week and made various attempts at producing an energy gauge that explodes upon reaching max energy.

After Effects has been an extremely useful piece of software working on this product so far. I have found its extensive broad range of effects and options has given me hope to achieve my desired vision.

I will be working with Adobe Photoshop again this week developing my billboard to completion if feasible. I would like to have the majority of my billboard advertisement complete so i can work on editing my TV advert next week.

I will be manipulating several properties with my imported Illustrator text; using settings such as the gradient mask, inner and outer glows creating tints of colour and experimenting with Bebel emboss.

Production part.3

I have been working all morning with Adobe Photoshop; manipulating my photographs that will eventually become my billboard advertisement. I have given myself adequate time to develop my billboard advertisement because I have plans to mount it and use it to show possible employees and universities.

Another reason I have set aside ample time to complete this particular task is because I want the standard of my product to shine. I will take time experimenting with various effects and techniques, exploring tools and settings that could help contribute completing my billboard that speaks for itself.
