Designing the logo

I then began to create a logo, I thought it was best to just stick to the name of the course instead of creating a name for the exhibition, as that depends more on the course. 

I wanted the style of the logo to be distorted in one way or another. So I tried out different styles of distortion. I did some where there were cut outs in the letters, I did this by cutting a block out of one of the letters then removed it from the letters, then did this for each of the letters in FIMS. 

I then tried to do some distorted ones, I played around using the liquify tool on Photoshop, it was cool to be able to play around with some tools I haven't used in a long time. 

I then cut out sections of the letters to create a slightly distorted look, like something was off. I did these by using the lasoo tool and moving parts of the letter around to create that style. 

Next I played around with the distortion tools, just to play with perspective.

Finally I tried to make a 3D style logo. However, this style is not the best idea as it is difficult to read on different backgrounds.

I sent this photo to the group and we decided upon the third down on the right side. 

It was really good to be able to experiment with different styles of distorting the words, and getting to use sections of Photoshop that I do not tend to get to use.

Putting together final catalogue

Image
 So I began by making an initial blocking of what my layout would be. I just made this in Indesign.   I then started to put together the final pages, I did this by making assets that fit the sizes of the boxes that I had planned out. I made these assets through many different ways. Such as I used the liquify tool in Photoshop and mixed colours to create the big pieces. Or I used the polygonal lasoo tool to create ripped page effects in certain shapes.  Once I had filled the basic boxed shapes, I started to make some extra assets to fill in the space around the areas, such as the tape pieces or extra boxes.  I forgot to take any screenshots unfortunately as I tend to get very immersed in making it.

Initial catalogue style

Image
I decided to make an initial catalogue, just to test out some layouts and some more interactive parts that I could use. I did this because I do know Indesign fairly well, however I have not used it in a more in-depth way before.  I just used some placeholders as I had not found any of the students work yet and this was just a quick version.  I found this really useful to do as it allowed me to play around with Indesign as I have not used it to make a magazine style project since I was in College. I also used the interactive part to add hyperlinks that allowed there to be functional buttons for the contents page, which is an area of Indesign I have not used before.

Week 12 Presentation prep

Image
 I began the prep for the presentation by making the power point presentation that it was going to be based upon. As I was going first I decided to do a recap of the initial idea, so I asked everyone in the group to send me a bit of text that explained what their part of the project was. Glenn did not send me anything. I then started to build up the slides, by adding small bits of text and imagery.  I also made sure that the theme matched the branding of the project, by using the same colour scheme. Script Next I wrote the script here it is: 1. Hello, I’m Sophie Husteden, and I’ve been working on the branding, and the student catalogue. 2. So as a quick recap of the project, we are creating a virtual exhibition.  This will include a downloadable catalogue of students work. A virtual exhibition space that will have spaces to showcase each student work in an immersive environment. We will also have a gallery area that will be used to showcase students work. We also will...
