My Animation

For my animation i have decided to do a DJ Band promo for myseslf.
For this promo i have decided to animate myself as a jack in the box and a record case similar to my machine assingment which i was quite happy with. To set the scene i give the allusion that a 2dimensional pic of a turntable is been drawn, this is to set the scene of a dj promo as turntables are instantly associated with dj's

From here a record starts, and the records front becomes the scene of a fun cartoon advnutre of me flying as a record case.

Animation Research

Here are a few websites i love for there animation and illustriation

my first wesbite is www.havaianas.com/

here i love the illustration style and the growing animation that comes to life.
Below are some screen shots. The color and cartoon feel is bright and user friendly.




The second animation i found on the internet that grabbed my attention was www.endoftheworld.net This animation shows that even the most basics of graphics and animation can still convey a message and in this case by quite funny. Infact the basicness of the production helps it stand out from other animations.
Below are some screen shots.

Political Website

For my website i have chosen to use a news table format, with cleaer prescise links at the top of the page.

Here is a screen shot:

My political Poster

This is the piece i have come up with for my Political Poster Assignment. The Bp logo represents and stereotypes the oil companies, and is in the background with oil fields and a tank bearing the bp logo is overlayed. The over all finish i have chosen browns to give a desert feel. For the font i have chosen a stencil font to give an impression of military writing.

Political Poster Research

For my political poster topic i have chosen the war in iraq and my opinon for the real reasons behind this war.

Here are some posters that i have used for inspiration and ideas.












The three pieces where taken from http://www.miniaturegigantic.com an exhibition of iraq war posters website.

I belive these pictures are all self explanatory and depecit the real reason behind the war in iraq as been for oil and money.

My Photo Montage

This is the Final Montage i have submitted. It represents myself as a jack in the box. I believe this represents my fun and playful nature whilst still capturing the elements of a machine. The parts are made up from musicical and dj items and represent my love for them. The background features the crowd where i am djing, this again represents my love of playing to the crowd and having fun. I have also chosen to use the cutout filter to give a fun cartoon effect. I have also overlayed a paint texture created in corel Painter, to finish the piece and help link the different parts.

Creating My Machine Assingment

The next step in creating my Machine Assignment was to source pictures to create the different parts of the montage.


The First image i have chosen is a photo of my record case i have taken, I believe that this can be seen in a mechanical fashion and also represents my love of djing .



The second Photo is a photo of the crowd when i am djing, this represents my love for having fun and again my love for djing and music.


Next i have taken a phot of an electronic synth off the internet, this represents my love for music and in particular my love for the electro synth sound.


The above photo i have chosen to include because it pictures me having fun.


The final photo i have chosen to include is a photo of a dj console suspension spring. I have chosen to include this due to its bright colour and the fact that it as an item is so simple yet so effective at been both mechanical and a machine.

Photo Montage Research

The second step to preparing my own photo montage was to find other photo montage's and design styles that i like.



One such montage that i liked ,for both its style and ideas is the above montage used as a felix the house cat cd cover. I love the use of both colour and multiple images stuck together to frame felix as the ultimate rockstar. The bright and vibrant colors chosen suit felix's sytle of 80's electro clash music.





The above montage i found on the deviant art website by member Kugath also captured my attention. In this piece of work i love both the style and ideas put forward. This piece features interests such as djing that i wish to capture in my machine assignment. I also like the rough finish that gives the impression that the different parts of the collage have been roughly cut and pasted together. The absence of colour and the blank painted background draws the viewers attention into the primary figure .

Machine Assignment Brainstorm

After been given the Brief for the Photo Montage machine assignment, my first step was to analysise the major traits and intrestesin my personality that i would like to portray as a machine.

The major traits and intrestes that i wish to portray are:

- My love for djing
- My love for Music
- Playfullness
- Fun
- Exciting
