FINAL MAJOR PROJECT
for my final project i chose to promote the rspca in canterbury as i felt the current campaign was weak and not done to high standards. i therefore researched into the local animal centre and visited there to gather research for my project, my finals consist of animals that are at the centre but using silhouettes, this gave me the idea to use a camouflage pattern within my work here are some examples of what i accomplished for my final pieces.

GATORADE DESIGN
For my packaging project i chose to Re-Design Gatorade's Packaging, my idea was to look at the history of gatorade and show it through the packaging, after i had researched gatorades history i chose to take it back to its roots, hence the slogan (back to the roots) i included The Florida Gators Emblem which is an american football college team because the assistant coach and some physicians came up with gatorade in 1965 and therefore was discovered by the team, i feel my design shows an iconic feature in gatorades history and i also felt it has to be shown more often.

WEB DESIGN
Creating Web Designs using a Six column grid - Photoshop.
During my class at college today i was learning how to create and use a grid, i created a grid by applying rulers and a margin. The rulers help to seperate the columns so i could apply my designs, i had to make sure my images were of the right size and that my text boxes were the same width as each column, in some areas i have chosen to overlap some of my text boxes to improve my layout designs.
These layouts represent a gallery page of a website, this will include two large images aswell as six small images contained in the six blue boxes the other boxes represent text such as a heading or website name or information about the website or the images.

FILE FORMATS / WEB
HTML - HyperText Markup Language is the main language that displays websites/pages or other information placed on the web. HTML is written in elements such as angled brackets like ( <html> )
html comes in paired tags such as <h1> and </h1>.
This is an example of an html format using tags and brackets :
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
CSS - Cascading Style Sheets is used to describe the look and formatting of a document that is written in markup language. It supports the application of web pages written in HTML.

Today i have been continuing with my web project and we have been
looking at file formats. We have been looking at these formats
FILE FORMATS
What is a .JPG ?
A jpg is a compressed colour image that can be reduced to about
5% of the original size but detail can be lost during the compression
causing the image to look pixelated.
What is a .TIFF ?
Tiff files can be any resolution and can also be black and white,
grey and scale and also colour. It supports high quality images.
What is a PNG ?
PNG is a file format that supports palette-based images. Creates
larger photo images than a jpeg.
What is a GIF ?
GIF Files are formats that can shrink the size of the files without
reducing the visual quality of the file.
What is a PDF ?
PDFs allow files to be sent to other applications or computers without
becoming damaged and they also keep the quality intact.

Websites That I Like
www.dontclick.it/
This is a website i found with really clever navigation, i like the idea as you don't need to click anything on the page because everything is accessed by scrolling and moving the mouse around tthe page.
I took a screenshot of what happens you click on the website i think its really clever and cool.

Here is my final poster I designed to promote Peace One Day which is a organisation that encourages a global truce for one day. that day is the 21st september. My idea came from research and various thumbnail designs i created. i then had a group discussion with my classmates vicky and Becca where we decided which designs were the most successful, my research on peace one day and symbols of peace helped with my design as i needed to look at doves and a certain position for the dove i also needed to find out the website address aswell to include on my poster. overall i am happy with my outcome as i really like the dominating message i have produced aswell as the pattern in the background.

Inspired by these Two Illustration Artists
My Style Of Illustration I am Interested in and want be involved with.
Becoming an illustrator is my dream and i would like to cover many aspects of illustration, my main style i would like to be a profession in is digital illustration as i like the way you could draw a design or image and then retouch it on the computer programmes such as photoshop with many techniques and methods.
I would like to create many designs ranging in cartoon designs and realistic designs I have looked at various illustrators with felix laflamme's becoming a huge inspiration into the style of work i would like to develop. he is a digital illustrator that creates designs for bands such as 'bullet for my valentine' and also creates many other pieces of work such as his famous fugly mugs.
Below is a piece of his work that i like the most and also a link to his website.
I was also browsing a illustration website with various illustration artists on it and found a digital piece of work from an illustrator named Tianyian wang who looks to have used photoshop to finish up a drawing of 'Wayne Rooney'. I liked this piece because it looks like he could've used a bit of paint aswell in the process.

| This is one of my favourite pieces of laflamme's work as it shows realism and cartoon at the same time. i think the use of colour is well thought out and makes the violin stand out. |

| whilst i was looking at this piece of work i noticed the effect of the shading being used in blocked colour and shapes i think this works really well as no shading would just create a cartoon image. |
