Semester One

Digital Work

Project One

The project was to create an eight-paged comic based around a nursery rhyme with a partner and me and my partner were assigned the rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. We decided to turn the fall into something metaphorical and made it into a fall of status during modern times. 

Project Two

The project was to try different mediums and new things to see if we would want to incorporate into our work.

Project Three

The project was to practice perspective, learn or practice new mediums and challenge ourselves and our limits with coming up with a large certain amount of thumbnails. 

Project Four

The first half of the project was to practice colour, composition and linear narrative. 

This was the second part of Project Four however it is incomplete. The task was to create a booklet showing a chosen song and I chose Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell. The song is about a lineman who constantly works and longs for more so I had the booklet portray how life is continuing below while the lineman is still on the line watching it all go by. The reason this is incomplete is because I was meant to add the lyrics to the pages however that feature I had forgotten however the slideshow is ordered the way the booklet should have been.

Semester Two

Project One

The brief for this project was to create a 2D logo for a fictional band of an assigned name given to us by our tutors.
​My band name was Sex Onion. 
Firstly, I wrote down what ideas and imagery came to mind when hearing the name and decided that the band would be in the rock genre so I had to focus on that sort of imagery. I then went into further research about such things as onions and burlesque.
​Then I began drawing these ideas to see how they'd look and if it worked well and what could be improved. I later realised that most rock bands don't have an image for a logo but rather type so I began looking what sort of ideas could be used with type to create the logo. 
Finally, I landed on having my final design be type with the word "Sex" being more rounded and curved to seem more sensual or as if a neon sign like outside of adult shops whereas the word "Onion" being more straight-edged for a more "rock n roll" feel with sprouts coming out of the first "O" to have seem more like an onion. 

Project Two

This project was a 3D continuation of the previous one in which I was assigned to now create a 3D poster for a gig for previous fictional band "Sex Onion". 
I first sketched up a few ideas as to what the poster could look like then went into experimentation by sewing up a bed sheet with the band name as well as a cushion, the bedsheet being completed with a sewing machine whereas the cushion was hand-stitched. I also painted the band name onto the chopping board to try leaning more into the "onion" part of the name. 
I then began taking photos to see what worked and what didn't which led me to realising that the images with the chopping board worked best out of all them. I then tried different props for the images and settings to see what worked better and I found that a black background and the knife worked really well compared to a grey background and a wine glass. 
So after figuring out what worked with the "onion" side, I then began working on the "sex" side but still keeping it tied with the "onion" so I used food such as bananas and cucumbers as well as a small shopping list joke which then gave me my final design. 

Project Three

This was the final continuation for "Sex Onion" in which I had to create an animation for a song that fitted into the theme and genre of my fictional band. I chose the song "Poison" by Alice Cooper because it seemed suitable for a band with a name of "Sex Onion" such as with the lyrics and genre. 
I first annotated the lyrics to try and see what the lyrics meant and what imagery came to mind which then led me to doing a few rough sketches of small imagery from a few select lyrics as well as this I then looked into type and what could be used and colour scheme. 
I then began figuring out each image for each lyric and finally created a storyboard to plan out the transitions to each image throughout the animation.
