Daily create 1

Ok so for this daily create we had to take a picture of something with a unique texture and make people guess what it was so here you go guess away.

logo analysis

So today in class we were on the hunt for interesting logos and the original PlayStation logo really caught my eye. When making a logo there are five simple rules to follow to keep it simple, memorable, timeless, versatile and appropriate. in this logo it is very simple no crazy images morphed into the PS just a letter P and S that stand for PlayStation. Next is how it is memorable, I think it is memorable because its only two letters and the simplicity adds to the memorability of it. Throughout the time of PlayStation being a company it hasn't really changed its main logo the PS only the color has changes from the original four color logo to the white logo that it is today. Also this logo is very versatile because it was made in vector format which makes it re sizable which helps with marketing. And finally the logo is very appropriate because it is creative how they made the letters P and S create something entirely different which is very interesting. In this logo the use of color is very strong in how they made the logo visually appealing. So in this logo there was a great use of color because it is really visually appealing by the four colors and not one plain color. also how there is a great play with shape how they used the two letters P and S to create something looking completely different from what they originally were.



next is the code fish logo which really caught my eye because it was really creative its pretty obvious that they created a fish out of things they use in code which is really cool and creative. What makes this logo really cool is the simplicity because its just a fish nothing special a fish made from code. Next is how simply memorable it is, because again the simplicity is adding to memorability and makes it a better logo overall. Also this is a great logo because it will always show that they are a coding company with this witty logo. This logo was also very versatile because of the use of vector format to help with resizing. and finally this is a great logo because of the appropriateness of the fish made by coding tools. Also this is a great logo because of the use of color, the background isant too flashy its a calm color greeting people to the logo.

video portrait culminating write-up.

For my video self portrait I chose to show the video games side of me. I used a Nikon D3100 to record he clips of me, a ps4 to record the screen when I was playing video games, imovie to cut and edit, cut and choose clips that I wanted in the video and finally I used garage band to cut the music clip. I am an avid fan of video games I like all types of games so i wanted to show the viewers of my video just that. So I chose to mainly do the video with a camera and the on-board video capture card on the ps4 to show my love for video games. Mainly I used still shots not moving shots to clearly express what I wanted to express, also the clips of me playing the games I think I used wide shots so you could fully see the TV screen and me playing the games. I didn't use any words in the video because I did not want any distractions from the main video. Next is that I used a dubstep song because I am personally a huge fan of dubstep and I wanted to show that in my video, I tried my best to time the bass drop with the time that I shot and kill the enemy in the Call of Duty clip which i think i did pretty well and that particular clip was really good. Next is that at the end of the video I finish with a clip of me on Photoshop editing a picture of a Bugatti Veyron which is my favorite car and a clip of me Photoshopping the picture let me best show my love for the car and of tech class. so in the end I showed my love for dubstep by using a dubstep song, showed my love for video games by mainly basing my self portrait off of me playing different games and finally showing my love for the Bugatti by showing me editing a photo of one.

Hey so these are some edited photos that I took a few weekends ago around my friends house and my neighborhood it took a bit of time to edit them so i hope you enjoy them.

post OCAD trip

so these are some photos that i took during the OCAD trip and they were from industrial design and drawing and painting. All of these areas were just fascinating and spectacular when i went to see them because of the amazing art and designs that i found from the amazing artists that created them. First off at the industrial design area i found amazing designs, I personally found this specific area really intriguing because in my future i want to pursue engineering so this helped me with an understanding of what to do and what to expect so it was cool to see what i might be doing in my future. Lastly i went so drawing and painting, this area was also just spectacular because of the sheer imagination in the paintings (as seen to the right) these paintings just blew my mind. what specifically blew my mind was the sheer detail and thought that was put into the paintings and as you can see they were just amazing paintings.



So lastly these programs look like awesome places to study but i want to pursue engineering in my future so i would like to study that rather than art or industrial design, but if i werent going towards engineering i would love to study these fields.

OCADU field trip

so on friday my class and I will be going to OCAD and we were told to find specific exhibits that we wanted to explore, so i chose Illustration ,Environmental Design and Industrial Design. I chose these exhibits because in the future i plan on going into the field of engineering and i believe that these exhibits will help expand my views on engineering and design.

kenitic tyopgraphy assignment

BTW i am sorry about the terrible video quality I don't know why it did that.

So this is a kinetic typography video called Demons. The song is provided by imagine dragons called Demons. This video was made using adobe flash CS6. So mainly my work consists of the lyrics of the song appearing and disappearing by changing alpha settings throughout the work.

So in my opinion I think I did a good job on this assignment, personally I liked how the words and letters faded in and out throughout the video also I loved how the words and music were so perfectly timed which make the video a little better. Now what i didn't like so much was the lack of other kinds of animations (e.g how letters would enter the scene). also i think i could have added more fonts to make the video much better.

Next off I used the font Bell Gothic STD. I didn't go through the whole array of fonts that were provided which I think hurt my mark a bit because I only used one font throughout the whole video. I think could have used other fonts with the video which would have made my video much more interesting and appealing to the eye.i thought that this font fit the song and and motion of the song.

So some challenges that I came across was that sometimes different parts of the piece didn't work e.g. some words didn't fade in which set me back because I had to go back and figure out how to fix it so that was a bother.

Next what really helped with the success of my video was that I always went back throughout the video to find little mistakes and screw-ups and things that i can add to the video, so that really helped me out with the final product.
