Storyboard///Videos

Wanted to show the process of design i have gone through, from the storyboard workshops, then taking the ideas drawn and recreating them within After Effects.
These ideas are fairly simple, so are therefore something to progress from and to add too.

AfterEffects///ONE

Had the first workshop on AfterEffects, first time on it and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

PONG!

This was my first attempt at making something, using transformations such as position and rotation and size.

What is design for digital media///Silent Movie

Randomizer gave me the following...

QUICK

BOOM

LOST


For the silent movie brief i have decided to look at both BOOM, but more so QUICK. BOOM being my plan B effectively.

LICKITY-SLICK-QUICK.
-Inspired from the film, 8 Mile, during a rap battle B.Rabbit fights against a rapper name Lickity Spyt. It works to represent 'quick' as it says quick but furthermore the worlds together when said feel as though it should be said quite quickly as it rhymes and what not.
My plan is to use the phrase Lickity-slick-quick and play with the timing of how you speak it!

I timed myself saying it and it roughly takes just over a second to say it all, so i think i may have to repeat the phrase unless i try and carry on the rhyme. We shall see.

What is good? Part///TWO/Net Plans

These are the net plans for the existing packaging which i shall be following and re-designing!


(Net Plan Research coming soon...)

What is good? Part///TWO/image researchTWO

Music Influenced Imagery///








This is fitting imagery and one kind of style of imagery and layout i could choose to use for designing my package with! This being relevant to the sound system and music, This music being suited to the system due to its bass sound abilities, and the product will be most likely be bought by people who listen to the following genre of music, as i am and did buy the product!

Apple Packaging Range///



As i said earlier i admire apple as a company who really package their products well and successfully! The style tending to be a simple design, showing the product cleanly on a white or black background, the box sometimes acting as the shape so each side shows that side of the product!


Edited Photos///









Images possibly to be used as the imagery on the packaging, cut off/sharp angled photos!


Cardboard packaging///





I did a collection of all the non-broken or ripped boxes around my house and photographed them! 
Doing this shows the variety of cardboard packaging out there, firstly there are the purely functional boxes which are only printed with black ink, for simple instructions/warnings or like the amazon box, advertising the brand/company.
Then on the other hand you have your more designed boxes which help to sell and promote the product! Take the 'The Beatles, Rockband' box for example, this is a big part of the attraction to the product itself, it is its own advertisement, the better looking it is the more effective/more sales it will get. Aesthetically pleasing. 
This being what i am planning to do!
