designing a logo

 


How i created my logo

To create my logo i used Adobe Photoshop. I chose to do this because the software has a lot of features which allow for additional, precise and accurate manipulation of my image. 
Firstly, I created the shapes for my logo using the rectangle shape tool, making use of the copy and paste feature to ensure accurate and equal measurements for the top and side of the camera.
I used the eclipse tool and manipulated them to be spherical shapes. I copy and pasted the shape to make sure that the shape of the two spheres were the same. I then used the free transform tool to make one of the circles smaller than the other to create the smaller film reel. i also used the copy and paste and the colour changer tool to create the see through effect for the reels

The photoshop rectangle shape tool as standard has straight edges, I decided that this makes the logo look less realistic and more off-putting for a potential client to look at. To fix this, I used the 'corner radius' tool to make the edges of my rectangles rounded. This also helps the shapes fit into each other and makes the whole logo look a lot smoother and sleeker. I set the values as 9.63 for all of the rectangles to ensure that they remain consistent on all edges. 




I used the grid tool to make sure all of the shapes I was creating were a consistent size. I also used it to make sure i was centering my text inbetween the logo and there was no uneven gaps or spaces.

designing a business card

  Designing a business card.pptx from SebCook3 Business card feedback The feedback i have received on my business card has helped me narrow down my decision regarding which design i should use. There is clearly a stronger design out of the 2 i presented and am confident that the design would be well received by a potential client or employer.  How I created my business card I created my business card using Adobe Photoshop. I decided to use this software as it has all of the necessary tools to create a well designed business card. Firstly, I used the shape tool to create the blue background, making sure to create it as a separate layer so i was able to put all of the other layers on top of it. I wanted to implement my logo onto my business card, however, since i created the logo all in different layers, i had to use the layer link tool in order to move all of the portions of the logo all at once. This also allowed me to copy and paste the logo from the logo photosh...

Creating a Showreel

Image
Researching into Showreels: A showreel is a short video showcasing someone's previous projects. It was a way to show their experience, what they specialise in creating, their style of filmmaking and what they are capable of. There are a few key elements of a showreel and they are: -Keeping it short in order to let your audience want more. you will find that most Showreels are   between 1:30 and 3 minutes long.    - Including your best work and present yourself as a professional and experienced filmmaker. - Using stock footage, visuals, graphics etc. to transition between different different projects.  Analysing existing Showreels:  I think this is a good example of a showreel. Firstly, the clips they show are short, snappy and visually pleasing, most only lasting 1-2 seconds. The use of short clips makes it so the audience can get a lot of different examples of the creator's work. It also lets the creator show more of their work in the limited time frame....
