Project 3 The Fake final advert


Our idea for our ad was to make it advertise the company rather then an actual product.
We went about making an ad that rather then telling you about the company, it just reminded you that the company is still here and operating. A type of ad you see commonly in companies that have been around a while. Its a very simple ad but its still effective. The ad can be shown on a wide range of different media such as TV, internet and before a movie either on dvd or at the cinema.

BP presentation


My Project 3: The Real will be on BP oil and gas company. I'm looking at the fact that BP is stopping alternative energy development by buying up the research projects but they aren't actually finishing anything. They are deliberately halting this development to help they're company whilst at the same time publicly claiming that they are a pro alt energy company.

Project 2 Final Clip


This is my final stop motion clip for Project two.

My idea was that the world is growing a new electronic culture thanks to media design.
New technologies are being made everyday. We are starting to rely on them for everyday life.
My idea was to portray something which we all know, the growth of a plan, as a metaphor for this.

Heres my completed Alphabet. I was going for a font which was simple but effective, I played around with the idea of not having full complete letters, the way the eye fills in the gaps in our mind was a real inspiration for me. I used very simple lines and dots (like morse code) with only a few curves. When put all together the words really play off each other, giving them more of a place in the world.

The alphabet was hand drawn over 5 pages so the PDF is long with all 5 pages stuck together.

Here is my quote written in my font. The quote made me think about how I could create the idea of empty space . Using stencil like cutouts of my quote and a light I could create a shadow of the quote which not only accentuates the fonts incompleteness but also plays off the whole space idea.
