Learning Perspective and Exhibition

The exhibition opened on Monday 30th April 2012 where everyone was there to help set up the event. It took us a while to put everything together but once this was done it looked really effective. The opening saw a few people come but in the end was still a successive night and everyone should be proud of the work displayed. I am next working in the exhibition on Wednesday afternoon 2nd May.

Personal Learning Perspective 

This module has helped me to gain confidence in the way I show my work to others and convey myself in a professional way with the use of graphical designed personal branding. I don't like showing off my work as I am never proud of it and this exhibition has helped me to gain pride in my work and to show it off more than I would of. I have also learnt key aspects of design when creating my personal branding. It is important that you convey the correct message to a potential employer/ client so design is important. I am very happy with how my personal branding has come out but feel that maybe a creation of a logo might of been more effective, but this can be created and added. I feel that the my leaflet could of done with a bit more work but is a good basis for an improved version which can be sent to employers.

When working on the exhibition I feel that I contributed well with the discussions within the group, and helped produce an effective website. The creation of a Facebook group helped to keep everyone up-to-date with what was going on and everyone put in a contribution. The exhibition has brought everyone closer together as a team and helped with working with business like scenarios and feel that I worked well with the team.

Portfolio ideas and creation

For my portfolio I decided that I would use the same colour scheme used in the previous two personal branding exercises. However, I had to come up with ideas of how I could present this. The ideas that I came up with were: a calendar, website (will be made but didn't have time to create for this project), montage, CD, brochure, prospectus and leaflet. I looked at the possible ideas I came up with and felt that the leaflet idea was a good way of showing a paper-based portfolio for a potential employer or client.

Why a leaflet?

I chose a leaflet as when I send off my CV with covering letter to an employer I can also send a leaflet as this would fit inside the envelope. I feel this is a nice added feature which can show and employer samples of some of my work whilst I create my website which can view more work. In showing an employer samples of my work before an interview should help them understand a little more about my style and how I work.

The creation of the leaflet used the same format as my business card and CV. I designed the leaflet in photoshop and added ruled margins to help me break the leaflet into sections...


I decided that the work I would include for my portfolio should be web based so I included: My latest project, my project I made for my local cricket club and my first ever built website. This would act as the main inner section. I then included a couple of photography images that I was really impressed with which can also show that I can use my own photography to help use in my web sites.

This is how my leaflet looked...



CV ideas and design

As like the business card we had to also create a CV for our personal branding. I decided that I would use the same design throughout as this would create a consistent flow throughout which I feel is key. I adopted the same theme as my business card, however, I decided that I would not put a black background for my CV as the main information to be read is selling me in words. I decided that I would use my html code design background for my CV but I made sure that the opacity was reduced so that it was not clashing with the text. I again used gold as my titles to make them stand out, and used the same font. I also made the font for my information no longer in bold as this would help with make the text easier to read. Below is how my CV looks...


Business card ideas and creation

As part of the course we had to create our personal branding. The first stage was to create a business card.

Ideas:
- Web based - Use of tags around key information of the business card. e.g. <h1>Alex Shearcroft</h1>
- Photography - Using one of my images that I had taken and using that as a background with information around it.
- Personal - Use an image of myself and characterise
- Retro - Fit in with the theme for our exhibition
- Keyboard - Using the effect of a computer keyboard to spell the information
- Plain - Plain background with minimal information

I decided that for my business card that I would aim it at a web based theme as that is the area I am interested in working in once I finish university. I created my business card in Photoshop and included web scripting code that I had created for a website as my background. I edited the code that it included tags with certain information such as <a href:"alex.shearcroft@hotmail.co.uk"> Email Address </a>. I then rotated the script and had it diagonally across the card.

I felt that this was to overpowering and lacked much colour for a business card so I decided that I would rescale the image and put it in a corner. I decided that I would have a black background this was because black gives the impression of perspective and depth, as a background makes other colours stand out and is the colour of power. For the text I decided that I would use a font that reflected web fonts and went with courier new but I set the font to bold to help make it readable. I put my name in gold, as to me it resembles achievements and being first. I want to be the best and always going for gold. I put all other information in a smaller font and in white to help display the information on my business card. I then decided to put a gold bar to seperate the html code image with my black background. Below is my finished business card...


On the back of the business card I included an information section where someone can fill in regarding where they found my business card. By doing this someone should be more inclined to keep my business card as it will have key information to remember should someone need to see or contact me. If I was making a website for a client they can put information on the back to help remind them the next time I will meet them. I feel this is a good and effective feature which can help remember my business card.

Web Team - Finished Student Bio page

The student bio page was created and need some fine tuning. This included the use of fonts and colours. The finished web page is shown below along with a link to my part of the website...



http://retroresolution.site90.com/students.html

Web team - creation of the Student Bio page

My part of the website was to create a page where the student bios would be displayed along with an image of them. I decided that the photos of each student should be used as a link which would send the user to a page where they could view the three images that was submitted for our exhibition. As you can imagine the creation of the website was not plain sailing. The theme graphics changed several times and this was the first design that was created for the student bio page.


I decided that I would use a layout that would display the students photo on one side and the bio next to them. I would then flip the horizontal layout for the next student below. This would create a nice flow of information and photos. This also would provide a better compact view so that every student could be viewed without the user scrolling through the page for ages and getting bored. It would be unfair on the students at the bottom of the page as they are less likely for users to view their work. It was important to make sure the user was kept. This design was then scrapped and went onto the creation of what would be the finished design.


Above is how the template was now looking. Using the graphics and photographs sent by the graphics team. I then put these images and information together in Dreamweaver and added a feature to each photo where once the user hover overs the image a blue glow would surround the image which gave a nice feel to the page and helped breakdown the black colour overload. The code that was used for this page is displayed below...

the community. Here I gained my NVQ 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care.</p>

<p>I returned back to education in 2007 to study a HND in Business Management at the Colchester
Institute in Essex. I spent 2 years at this college before leaving in June 2009.</p>

<p>In September 2009 I began my studies in Computer Aided Visualisation at Anglia Ruskin’s University.
Today in 2012 I'm now coming to the end of my 3 year course at the University where samples of my work will be displayed in the Retro

During this course, I have gained different skills and enhanced my creativity by doing projects that requires
originality and imaginations. I used different software’s such as; Photoshop, Flash, Autodesk 3Ds Max, Logic
Pro, Dreamweaver, Premier Pro, Soundbooth and other multimedia software that enabled me to bring my ideas
to life. In these past 3 years I have created; websites, 2D & 3D modelling and animations, Soundscape, short
films, product design, and captured different types of photography. When I am not overloading my brain with
all of these works, I spend some quiet time reading novels and baking cakes. And as for my future goal, I don’t
particularly have one yet but I would like to explore life while doing what I love the most.
I firmly believe that ‘Success is in your hands if you have faith’...</p>

Bio

I am currently in my third and final year of my degree here at Anglia Ruskin. I have studied right through education since the start of school and have achieved 12 A*-C GCSE’s and was Head Boy. I went on to study A-Levels at college where I got 3 A-Levels and 2 AS-Levels. I studied ICT and that inspired me to take a degree in this subject at University.


Through this course I have learnt many new skills and software packages. These include: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Premier Pro, 3Ds Maxx, Celtx, Logic Pro and Audiocity. This course has covered many different types of multimedia and I have found the most interesting area to be web design. I have created a couple of websites for family friends, which has helped me improve my knowledge and skills with web based design.

I am a hardworking individual who likes to learn new skills and interact with people. When I finish my degree I hope to go into the web industry.


Three images

Image 1 - An Eyeful of money



Digital Imaging


For this module the assignment required me to use our photography skills learnt through the lectures to create images that portrayed a specific topic. For this image the subject was studio portraiture and I used a Canon EOS 500D using the manual settings. (Aperture – f8, Exposure – ¼, ISO – 200, Lens – 18-55mm) I used the university studio for the shot and used studio lights. Connecting a flash cable to the camera allowed the flash to go off at the same time as the shot. The Image was then edited in Adobe Photoshop.








Image 2 - The World of Cricket Website


Design for the Internet


This module was a first year project where I had to create a webpage of an interest using pure html and css coding in notepad. I chose cricket as my theme as I have a strong interest and enjoy playing the sport, I decided that as cricket is a gentlemens game my webpage should look professional but also classy. First I created a css style sheet which would include all the layout and design structures followed by the html which included the content. I really enjoyed this module and has made me want to create more websites and a career in web design.




Image 3 - Czechoslovakia 1968

2D Animation

The assignment for this module required me to follow a pre-written script and create a new treatment, script and storyboard to portray the script given. The project was based on Czechoslovakia 1968 and this was reflected in my animation. I decided to create an animation that used imagery and words to convey the way Czechoslovakia was at the time. I drew my images and then scanned them and created the animation in Adobe Flash.
