I originally took these photos as a reflection of my chosen topic (PTSD) for the initial project brief.  They were intended to reflect panic attacks and the difficulty to catch a breath.  However i decided to keep them for the updated project brief and ‘mix’ them together as seen in the background photo for ‘MIX Poster 2’.  I explored this by experimenting with layers and their opacity.  Thus creating a slow shutter speed effect.

This was how I chose to use the aforementioned series of photos.  I used a lot of layers and images to create a distortion effect and also experimented with masking layers as seen in the bottom right.  (One of the figures heads is masked over a section of the foreground).  All of this was done using Photoshop rather than illustrator as I am more confident in Adobe Photoshop.

Playing on the definition of ‘mix’, combining to create one substance.  The fingers represent the opposite.  Mixing of liquids at the bottom in red puddle.  I tried to create a design which I could reimagine through illustrator.

I created this collage with cutouts from a newspaper.  I used font from the newspaper and cut it to create the distorted and warped effect as according to the movement of the spiral.

Using text converted to paths in illustrator, combined using blend tool.

I overlayed each letter and gave them an individual gradient before blending them into one another to make the gradient appear ‘mixed’ together.

I combined my shape and image collage with my MIX Type collage to create this poster.  I played with the idea of primary colours their correlation to the word 'Mix'. This entire poster was created using Adobe Photoshop as I am more experienced with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Similar to the last poster, I combined my Type experimentation with the background image I created in photoshop. I chose to use Illustrator to create the typography. I used the blend tool to blend two text layers together (after I converted them to paths) which gave me a similar effect to the one I had experimented with in my sketchbook. (Seen on bottom right of my sketchbook in previous post)

# data[].attributes.body
I then lowered the opacity and messed with the stroke colour to allow this text to blend with the background image.

# data[].attributes.body
Using illustrator I decided to insert my previous type experimentation into this poster as well. I came to the conclusion that it looked better with the spiral, as without it I believed it looked incomplete. Even though I used it in a different poster I also believe it fit very well with the outcome of this Poster too.

# data[].attributes.body
I created this poster using Illustrator.  I used the pencil tool to create my objects, and used the pen tool to create my background.  For the swirl I used an image and masked it over the swirl object I had created previously. I used my third type experimentation within this Poster, however I changed the colours of the gradient to match the theme.

I chose to analyse a playthrough of Dyling Light 2, released earlier this month. I explore lighting, affordances, breadcrumbing, evolving compositions, leading lines, denial and reward, and framing techniques. I also explore two combat scenarios experienced at different points in the playthrough.

For my Level, I have decided to create a non-combative horror game similar to found footage movie Blair witch Project and Outlast. This level would be based within the Paris Catacombs.

The booklet on the left displays the shape which I use for my typography experimentation.

# data[].attributes.body
For this experiment I used Effects > Distortion > Roughen to create a ripple effect on all of the typefaces.

# data[].attributes.body
I went to Effects > Distortion > Twist and twisted all of the letters into eachother to create a wavey effect on all of the type faces.  I then used the Pen tool to recreate one of the shapes on the cover of the booklets I got from my Proof of Ghosts exhibition. The words death mask and the abstract shape are both taken from the same booklet, as I wanted them to have correlation.

Distorted background image in photoshop and placed into illustrator. Used the pencil tool to hand-draw a moth illustration, used grouping of objects to group the head, antennas and body. Had to use the pencil tool to create a smaller version of the wings before using the envelop distortion effect on the text to create the typography seen in the image.

# data[].attributes.body
I had to use photoshop a lot for this image. I cut apart one of Joan Alexanders photographs from the exhibition leaving a lot of negative space. I chose to fill this space with text I had scanned in from the exhibition booklets. However, before doing that I added a photo filter to change the text to red (similarly to what I had done in my sketchbook). I then used photoshop to cut out all of the words, letters and shapes which I had also scanned in from the booklets. I used illustrator to position everything and create my poster; everything was imported individually from photoshop and positioned in illustrator.

# data[].attributes.body
I used shapes which I had scanned in from the exhibition booklets and incorporated them into the text to create a unique and fun typography. I then masked one of the images over the wings of the moth and chose to follow through with the splash of red colour which I have tried to use throughout my series of IG posts.

# data[].attributes.body
I masked over an abstract shape, animating it to slowly reveal raw footage from the exhibition itself. This shape was masked over a photograph from the exhibition, which I added a red photo filter to in photoshop. The numbers placed around the side are the dates of the exhibition.

The pinterest board I made for my branding project, I used a similar colour scheme. I was initially going to create a more retro style poster, however I decided to make it more modernised to fit with the logo I had created.

My Poster for the kitchen, created using Illustrator. I used a lot of masks to create the various shapes across my poster, & Photos were taken from unsplash.

I used raw footage from a visit to the zoo, added grain and gaussian blur. I then duplicated the footage and slightly offset it to give it a VHS effect. I animated my initials over the footage, and placed my year of birth within the footage.
