Presentation Board for Big Freeze Project.

Finally the last thing on the list of things to do for the 'Big Freeze' project.

I'm currently considering fonts for the presentation board. I'm wondering whether to go for a 'fancy' font which incorporates the 'Big Freeze' theme or whether to keep the board clean cut and use Helvetica.

Here are some of the fonts I tested.

The top 2 fonts I downloaded off the internet. After all this I've chosen to stick to Helvetica and keep my board professional and clean cut.

Storyboard for Big Freeze Project.

I've just realised that I forgot to blog about my storyboard before putting up my final images.

I decided to make my storyboard on InDesign and do it all digitally rather than attempt to draw, I think it will look a lot neater this way. Although I can't avoid the fact that I am going to have to sketch the final images out on the board. Drawing was never my strong point.

Here's the final storyboard.

The empty white boxes on the left are for the sketches of the final images.

Final Images for 'Big Freeze' Project.

(All photographs are my own)

These are the final 3 images which I have chosen to feature on my presentation board for the theme 'The Big Freeze.'

The second 2 images have been photoshopped for effect which ties in with the story I am trying to tell.

In the story the 'model' begins by wearing the garment with no outer clothing causing her to be very cold which is shown through the use of lighting in the photo, make-up on the model (very light foundation) and huddled up pose which is used.

In the second image the model decides to put on a chunky cardigan which she thinks will warm her up. The model is also in the process of walking which shows she is trying to warm up. The fact that the background is black & white but she is in colour shows that she is slowly getting warmer.

The final image which is all in colour and covered with a 'warming filter' shows the model huddled up in the cardigan. The warming filter gives the impression that the model is now warm.

Photoshop Work

For the second and third photos I felt as though they didn't line up on the terms of the model being the same size in each. I edited the third photo by using the clone tool to make the bottom of the image bigger and therefore make the model look further away from the camera and lined up with the second photo. This included cloning the footprints and everything, I'm impressed with how it's turned out!

Photographs for 'Big Freeze' Project.

As the snow began yesterday I spotted the perfect opportunity to get out and take some photos for the 'Big Freeze' styling project. I hadn't originally planned to include snow in the photos because there wasn't any around...obviously. When I saw the snow yesterday I got ready, grabbed the camera and headed for Greenhead Park, Huddersfield.

Student Budget :(

Topshop.com is tempting me.

I've been looking at Topshop's online store for the past 3 days now.

Everyday I stumble across something new which I wish I had the money to buy.

Just a couple of things on my wish list....

Stupid student budget.

It's at this point in time when I ask myself...

Food or clothes?

I'll answer this at a later date :)

Intro to Digital - Project Two.

The other week I was looking back on work from last term.

I decided to have a play around with my creative brief project as I felt something looked wrong.

I started out by making the logo bigger and using a thicker stroke on the letters. This is the updated version.

I also decided that something about the layout just didn't look right so I played around with that too. This is the updated version of the overall creative brief.

I think this new updated version of the creative brief looks more professional and organized than the last version. I also like the fact that 'my company' logo (BGF) is much more visible.
