Week 1 –
Our first week of the project into DVD menus we were told about the unit and what it would involve. For the first time we were told we where be working independently, this was very new for most of use because were so use to working in small groups when making our advert. We were also introduces to two new programs “adobe Photoshop” and “adobe encore” two programs that we would be using a lot during the project. So as the start of the project I created my own personal project schedule to track our work and organise where we should be and when. This was very useful because it’s a completely independent project so it is important that I am very organised about my work and make sure I follow dead lines and not fall behind.
Also during this week I and my class started a Photoshop workshop. I have worked with Photoshop before and I did know how to use it fairly well but my lecture was able to give me useful tips on how to improve me Photoshop s
kills and to keep my Photoshop folders organised. I also looked at some YouTube and online tutorials on how to create some unique Photoshop effects which helped a lot. So I did learn a lot I learnt about the different effects you can get on Photoshop and how to organise my layers so I can change different elements of my Photoshop work at anytime. And as a task for the whole class we were to create a movie poster in Photoshop and the best will be put on the wall in our class room. I created a poster called “blood rush” which sadly didn’t make the wall.
My poster called “blood rush”
I thought that my strengths were that I met the deadline for this part of unit; I was also able to create a realistic film poster that met the codes and conventions of a film poster. However I think that my weakness was that when I was making my film poster I wasn’t very organised with the layers and I often got distracted with online tutorials even though they were helpfully they were also distracting. So I think I should set my self to a target of setting a task for my self and keeping to that.
We also started looking at our first investigation into graphics is going to lead on to our investigation into DVD menus. We started by looking at a handout on the different elements of digital graphics that our lecture handed to all of us in the class room and it was up to us to select how we would present our work ether on word or PowerPoint we were also to find any information for our self through the net and library recourses.
So all in all I think it was a good start to the unit I got major amount of work done and I was able to produce my poster in time. My poster itself was of a good quality but if I could do it again I would use my own imagery to make the editing in Photoshop easier.
The homework I set for my self this week was to produce my investigation into graphics for the following week
