Garage band session

garage band allows you to pick samples from a selection of genres and mix them together to create a song, you can layer them and fade them in and out like in final cut, so it was easy to use.

Final Cut Skills Session 1

Photoshop skills session 1: Club flyer task

in this session we were asked to design and create a flyer for an imaginary club in photoshop, we  had to create a name, mine was called BIA (beats in abundance) and make up an entry price, and who was featuring at the club

overall i think that my final product looked quite good as it looked quite professional and complex :)

Photoshop Skills Session 1: Earth & Eye Exercise

This task was our first lesson using Photoshop.

using the two pictures of the Earth and the Eye found and downloaded from flickr, we opened them in Photoshop and then started layering them, i used the magnetic lasso to cut out the foreground (earth) from the background (space) after i moved the cut out picture of the earth an layered it on the picture of the eye, then resized it to fit the size of the eye, then finally made the earth transparent to be able to see the pupil.

Logo ident

in this lesson we were asked to make our logo animated and make it move in final cut, i found this quite hard, since final cut is a new programme to me.
instead of the logo actually moving all my layers just fade in, but im still fairly happy with it.

Logo research session

We were asked to research two logos of our choice and then draw them up on paper, after we had to annotate the logos and find information about them.
-e.g when they were first made, how they attract people and where they originated form.. etc
First logo
I chose CAMEL cigarettes purely based on the fact that i smoke them, and it was simple but effective.
Second logo
For my second logo i chose PlayStation, i chose this logo because its very well known globally, an looked fun and easy to draw up!

Media production company logo planning session:

Firstly we started by thinking of ideas for our logo and drawing them up, once we were satisfied with what we had come up with we then opened Photoshop and attempted creating them on screen, for mine i found images off the internet and target grabbed them (cmd-shift-4) then used the magnetic lasso to crop them, and finally layered them until i was happy with the final product...
