The first thing we made on Illustrator was the logo and desgin for my media company. The name of my media company is AC Productions, and i have desgined a film camera with a stand, i did this by using the pen and tool feature. I also chose a few other font desgins that i could use if i wanted to change the look of my desgin. I found this task straight forward, i had used this program in high school briefly so i had abit of an idea on how to use it but i needed a reminder and help. After doing this we moved on to tracing 4 sporting pictures, at first i found this really difficult because i could work out how i was suppose to do the under layers first and build on top of them, but eventually i worked out how to do it and i enjoyed doing it.
After finishing that task we had some clients from Salford City College that came in and told us that they wanted a new desgin and gave us details of what they would like us to incorporate. When they left i created a mood board on powerpoint with slides of what they would like us to put in there desgin, also i put some example of modern logos, different fonts and ideas.
For the client i had to create some new desgins, i just made some simple shapes but nothing to complicated. Some of the desgins i did, did not fit what the client wanted so i get rid of them. And tried to desgin something that fitted his desgins better. After creating a better desgin and the client was happy with it we moved on to a different program called Adobe After Effects and we started to create a mation graphics piece called 'Devils Rides Out' to do this we watched a tutorial video and followed a series of steps to create the whole video. I was please with the end result of this video because i had never done anything like that before and it turned out quite well. After finishing the Devil Rides Out task we were given the task of creating a sting for E4 without using the tutorial and see how well we could do and how much knowledge we got from creating the Devil Rides Out, i was also please how this turned out, i feel like it is different to other students in my class because it is simple and not too much going on.
After completing these two task as a sort of practice of using After Effects and having practice of making motion graphic we were asked to make a motion graphics by a client from Salford City College, they wanted us to create them a new logo that they could use, but i also had to incorporate the Salford City College logo somewhere in the 30 second video. I designed the logo and then made a story board with what would happen in the video, this was straight forward and i did not have any problems. I was able to do everything on my video that i did on my storyboard, so i was pleased about this.
