WCI Planner


K so this is my rough draft
A couple things..
A) I dont know if they'll let me print "red for the blood".. but it's part of our school song
B) I need the school logo.. but i dont know where to get a high res. one..
Any further ideas?

Oh and I need to fix the Vikings down the side of the page... the red vikings wont be right beside the blood when I fix it up.

ANND.. ineed to incorporate the year somehow

HM Field Assignment 9

"Take a Certain Word Out of Something"
I'm using the apple "It's Showtime" add again.. except this time, I'm totally redesigning it to say "It's ____time"..

Because I can't just clone-stamp the letters out (because of the intricate combination of layers, gradation and lighting), I decided to recreate the image, without the apple logo, or any text.

So, the original image...


My attempt at recreating it...


And now, adding the logo and words, except for "Show"

HM Field Assignment 8

"Workin' For the Man"

For my eighth, and I hope final (we had to do 8 right?) field assignment, I created an ad for ships (ships = oil = money = power = corruption).

However, I didn't include any text at all. While this might seem like a bad thing, especially for an advertisement, the purpose of this advertisement is simply to create a basic template, upon which all the flashy advertising techniques can be added. In fact, if someone even just left the advertisement as is, and just added a website, logo and/or phone number at the bottom, it would certainly grasp the audiences attention.

My advertisement sort of mimics a really effective technique employed by apple - little text, and as a result, emphasis placed on the logo, and graphical elements of the piece.

A comparison of the two is shown below.

HM Field Assignment 7



I feel like I'm finally catching up on my field assignments...

This is a war background that I made in photoshop. For the army camouflage design, I just used an effect called Sponge, and the dispersed ambient lighting was created using an effect called Clouds.. or difference clouds.. one of them

The men at the bottom were just photoshopped from various pics of mini-soldier action figures, which I tediously cropped out individually, and color-overlayed them with an appropriate colour.

Note that there are 2 images - one perfect for a widescreen wallpaper (or a powerpoint background! - but it is strictly copyrighted... unless you want to pay :D), and another for either square monitor wallpaper, or more likely, a game background.

HM Audio Field Assignment

For my mashup, I used the following two songs:
1. Requiem for a Dream (for those of you who don't know, the song used in EVERY trailer these days)
2. Pachelbel's Canon

At the beginning, the two pieces clash.. they work against each other to sound like a horrible horrible mix. But later on, the fast-paced melody of Requiem slows down... and quiets down a bit, and Pachelbel's Canon comes more into focus, and the two sound a lot better. This occurs at around 1:24. Enjoy :).

Clicky :)

If that doesn't work, just manually type in:

..Or this





The only diff: "Remember"

AB 09


So this is what I've come up with for the AB 09 program cover.
Thoughts? I'd appreciate some constructive criticism please

It has to be in black and white. Otherwise I thought it would have been cool to have a little red string tied around the guys finger but whuteva. Ummm, I'm still thinking about the "Remember".. like whether or not it should be light or dark. Iono.

m.l.


Oh damn. I just realized.. I'm not sure if it can be grayscale.. I may need to dump the whole thing.
NoooOOOooOoooo

some kind of field assignment

Assignment: do gooder, doing your friends homework for them

My friend needed me to do a magazine advertisement for his Marketing Summative for him. So I did some good and helped him I did.
