More Getty,

didnt feel the work i had done up to this point was really getting the sense of the search with getty. So ive re-looked at it and have come up with a few more prototypes

This was my first idea, Showing the Viewer an example of someone searching for a photo, but the words used and the photograph arnt unique enough, I need to research and create a unique striking image


next idea, pretty much self explanatory, with the red of the other scene


To tie in with the scene and the idea behind it i went with a colder grey.


Image and ideas still in development...

Gettyimages

Recent work for the GettyImages Brief: looking at the way that their new search engine can update photos relating to your meta search, i.e (the person in the picture wants a desk without the mess)

Work...

This was a group project to make a animation on kissing, we kept it light and based it on how a child hates being kissed by their mother.


This Project was to used after effects to produce an interactive piece (even thought its not particularly interactive) The subject i chose was bones. I went on the idea of bmx padding, the idea behind the work is that the person would be able to roll over the body and select the bone they want to protect, this would then animated to a location and display the relevant info. (the video is an example of that)


This was another Group Project based on Final Cut pro, We were given a week to produce a story, edit and film. We based it on a and a bar called muse who does a beat-boxing night. (and featured chris who attends.)


Earlier this year we had an interactive project which was to be based on a insignificant object, but which could be made into visually interesting, immersive website. The subject we looked at was Wires.

Lots of Updates!

Been playing on after effects some more, getting the hang of some expressions and relating them to the actions of another layer e.g. in this piece the scale of the flowers related to the volume of the music



Latest Grafik magazine has come though so I thought id show some of the work inside i like:





Also Got Uni work on the go, Started a new brief this week, got to create a direct-mail piece that can be transferable to on-line for GettyImages. Basically promoting the use of their new search function that enables you to include key words, which then updates the search results in real time.




*detailed write-up tomorrow*

Self promotion

Sketch of the layout for the promo material, looking at producing a Cd, Cv and Poster to be sent on a board on which the three images are held down with thread.



Stationary, Im trying to express my love for creating handcrafted things, and this Idea is to display mark making materials, and maybe computer peripherals to show how I often combine the two methods.


Envelope ideas on the left, Trying various visual styles on the right and my feet at the bottom (clicky for a bigger pic⏎)
