Final for Digital Video Class

We had to create a 30 second to 1 minute video. I selected the beginning portion of AWOLNATION "Sail" as my music, then scanned in illustrations I drew and put it together to the music.

Design Communication 1 aka DC1

Logo and Branding

I had to choose a company in Austin and Rebrand their logo. I had to also make business cards, have a text-heavy item (I choose a website), and brand items the place might use or sell.

Book Cover for a hardcover

I had a list to choose from and I selected Fahrenheit 451.

Ad Campaign

I selected a event that happens in Austin (we did not have to selected it from Austin). The event was originally called Big Hair Country Fair to provide funds for Creative Action. Creative Action works with kids in the Austin School District providing arts education in many different forms of media, theater, puppets, drawing, drawing, etc.

Book/Booklet

With my final project for this class we had to come up with a book/booklet of 20 pages (or 10 spreads). I decided on a recipe book and made 12 recipes with my dad one weekend. I can recommend the carmel brownies...yum! It was a lot of work, but ended up pretty nice. The first 3 images are of the outside cover, the inside left and right covers, and the back cover of a scrapbook that I used as my binding.

Here are the inside pages starting with the title page.

Beauty Spread

I had two other classes, Web Design 1 and Digital Publishing 2, but the work was not original as much as color theory and this class. 

Hope you enjoyed! A week and half left of summer break then back to school. 

Color Theory

CD Cover 

I had to create covers for two different genres of music. Each theme had to use complementary colors. One of the colors had to be stronger in one design than the other and vise versa.

Exhibit Mock-up

A smaller version for an exhibit entrance. I decided to do a chef exhibit with famous quotes, but one catch was using the color I picked out of a pile of folded up paper, orange. The first pane with Gordon Ramsay had to be complementary colors, Mario Batali was analogous, Alton Brown was split-complementary, and Guy Fieri was Triad - the same color used in each is the orange. 

Daylight Effects on Color

I had to take photos of an object of our choosing, Squirrel and acorn salt and pepper shakers, at different times of the day. Our goal was to photoshop them into the scene and make sure the photo we took matched the light direction and then styled the object to match it like it was always there in the first place. Can you find the squirrel (the acorn is only in one image)?

Where's Waldo...errr Squirrel? 

Poster

We had to pick out of the pile of paper, different PSA (Public Service Announcements). There was Human Trafficking, Post 9/11 Terrorism, Child Labor, Text and Driving, Drunk Driving, etc.,  and I picked Bullying. I had ideas, then ideas got veto'd, and in the end I chose the one I liked. 

Tomorrows installment - Design Communication 1.

It's been awhile...

I can't believe that I haven't posted since Nov. 2012, how time flies sometimes. I have been busy with school, took a spring break trip to my brother's house in San Francisco, and continued back at school, until last thursday May 9th.

I have come to the realization talking to students that just graduated, an advisor about my classes left, and my parents that I won't graduate as I planned in Summer 2014, but will be extending my time until Spring 2015. Yeah May 2015 graduation ceremony!

Tomorrow installment Color Theory Projects and the next day after that Design Communication 1.
