This design is by Abelmacias I found her whilst searching on the interenet. The image really drew my attention and it reminds me of Belle Ville Rendevous dvd. which is an amazing animation.

Look at these websites:-

http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/

http://nomchomski.com/

http://www.freedm2.com/abelmacias

all of these websites all have images that really appeall to me and are really interesting.

this is the right profile of my character. This is where I started to struggle with my animation because I couldn't figure out what the next scene would look like. So decided to change the character but, still keeping the same features jst making the character alot more simple, but still effective.

Same But Different

We got assigned a group project to take a everyday object and give it a meaning behind it.
Take photographs of the found object or everyday object and we chose henry the hover. Take the whole circumfereance of the object and in different locations. So all of us took photos of our own henry the hover in different locations and situations, we found out that some of us henry is used alot more than others mine had an label on it other ones had parts missing, or it was never used.
we did some research into henry the hover the history behind it and the prices and what each indiviual hover does.

Factual Exercise

In teams of five or six ideally, produce a site specific performance piece about the lives of one of the following individuals.

The performance must be based on facts you have researched about the individual’s life.

- Stella Rimmington
- Erasmus Darwin
- George Green (the younger)
- Laura Knight
- George Africanus
- Harold Shipman
You can use multimedia artefacts in any way to both create and but the piece must have performance at the heart of it.

George Green this is the person that as a group we got assigned. So we decided to research him on the internet and look in the library we found numerous George Greens, we found the rite George Green. We found out that George Green was born on 14 July in 1793-31 May 184. He was a British Mathematicain and physicit. He wrote An Essay on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and Magnetism (Green, 1828). The essay introduced several important concepts, among them a theorem similar to modern Greens theorem. George Green was almost entirely self-taught. Throughout his career he kept his interest in electricitythe main focus on how things work.
George wanted to use mathematics to understand more bout magnetism. He used mathematics for many ways to understand, he used his new mathematics to get a better understanding of what happens when light passes through a lens or prism.
He was born and lived for most of his life in the town of Sneinton,Nottinghamshire.
His father was a baker who had built and owned a brick windmill. Bromhead guided him into going to enter Cambridge University. He then entered as an undergraduate in 1833 at age 40. After his graduation in 1837 he stayed at Gonville and Caius College.

developing on animation

Animation

background

i am doing the 4th option which is where a lady is on the wall as part of a piece of graffiti and she comes off the wall and turns around and sprays the wall and then E4 logo will appear on the wall and then the E4 logo will be the end scene and whilst all this is happening I downloaded music from the E4 website itself to run with the animation.

thoughts

I found throught looking at graffiti it has made me alot more interested in graffiti. I also found out that there aren't alot of woman graffiti artists around Cade used a quote saying that 'Often people create hype around a chick just because she's a novelty, so some female writers ride on that and have no real substance, respect should be based on merit,regardless of gender.' I think that statement is a making a real impact of what people think of women as graffiti artists.
A nd i have also found out that there are many differnet ways to tag a wall , either spray paint it , stencil it , sticker it with a design and so on. By using all these different forms and medias makes the artist stand out from many different graffiti artists. And so from that i used a pental pen to draw my person on the wall.

Liverpool near China Town on an old shop front.

London on a cricket ground

This image really grabbed my attention it reminded me of a graffiti artist called Hera and Den and Cade these artists all do portraits of celebrities or their interested in keeping the authenticity of the human portrait or body to attract tourists and make them think about who what and why and how.

Brighton near the train station.

on the streets on Brighton opposite a organic hairdressers.

This piece of graffiti was in Brighton on the Old Pier. I thought this image was thought alot about by having the halo already there an then putting this stenciled image on the pillar made the pier have a totally different feeling and concept towards the pier itself. It makes you think how the person thought about putting this mementos image on a pillar its like putting ' Che Guerra' on a t-shirt give the imagea totally different perspective of the image. For example Bansky uses images that we see everyday and take for advantage and he uses these images to make a statement. ' They say that graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of the decline in society; but graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people; politicans,advertising executives and graffiti writers'. He stenciled a wall in Soho 2001 of Mona Lisa with a rocket launcher.

look at Banksy Wall and Paper book century.

(This image is done with a digital camera) I have decided whilst coming up with the idea of keeping my animation and my designs urban. I graffitid my image on a wall keeping with the whole idea of keeping the lines pure and simple throughout my designs. I used this piece of graffiti as part of my research on how she would look and what she would look like. It took me a few designs to come up with this image i got some of my inspiration from jana joana ( brazil) www.fotolog.com/janajoana. Swoon ' i am thinking about people, about real life as i see it in the faces of all these millions of lives walking around,keeping my attention to reflecting our humanness,our fragility and strength.'

This image was found in Liverpool Berry Street car park. I found this image on a garage doorthis piece of graffiti drawn my attention from across the road what I found interesting about his image is that they used only a few lines to represent the outline of the person only a few simple lines. Using red on white made the image come alive. I have also found a few other graffiti artists that use simple lines to outline a figure Jana Joana she takes women as her inspiration , she also uses a smooth style of paintingg to create urban art inventions, developing different and delusive projects associated with the life experiences of city woman. ( look at Graffit woman book).

Gateshead ' Spank the monkey exhibition'
this graffiti design is by an artist by Obey. Sometimes in a poster, sometimes stenciled or on a sticker the face peers down from everywhere.
The Obey image was found outside of the BALTIC was a large-scaled piece of graffiti that was printed on canvas. The images are stricking and attracted the eye.

package ideas

Vision for package
I have been thinking about how a package could be designed at the same time appealing to the younger audience. I am still wanting to keep the urban style thatI have created to carry throughout my package, keeping the continuity. What the package involves flyers,reciept holder,t-shirt. I wanted to create an association with a TV image and then seeing t-shirts in shop. Whilst walking around town people seeing the t-shirt and noticing that its adverising E4 and so from that you would go and visit the website, and join the E4 website.
I also wanted the package not to be the standard package, i wanted it to be extended from paper to electronic to clothing.
The t-shirt would be sold in urban outfitter type shops.
The advertising
Concept wearing the t-shirt as they are walking around town advertising the e4 and people making relations seeing it in town and then seeing it on tv.
The visual media TV and the games industry making them come together
I also had an idea that I didn’t complete to designs sports wear for example trainers etc
Production technical quality and multimedia format delivery
Using Photoshop to manipulate the images and to design the flyers.
Premiere to edit the animation and to add effects to the animation
Digital photographs
I didn’t use fabric dye on the t-shirt if I was going do a bigger print I would of done screen printed. I used a fineliner pen to draw the image on the t-shirt I wanted to keep the design raw to fit in within the urban design.
I intended to just focus on girls t-shirts designs
I would of liked to produce more t-shirts to show that it will appeal to boys as well as girls.
