Colour pallet

Today I have refined my animation (so far) and have decided upon a more complimentary colour pallet, so no more garish reds!

Red, black or burgandy?

I orignially used red becasue it is often used to say 'NO'... but it just felt too harsh and uncomfortable against my background. The black is too dull and doesn't draw attention to anything... it sits alongside the 'simple and dull' and doesn't add anything to the character of the frame. The burgandy is a brilliant substitute. Steph O suggested it and I was sceptical at first but once applied, I think it looks great and a whole new world of a colour pallet has opened up to me which I think would work really well!

Personal final week reflection

This is how I feel about my work right now...

But while googling 'shit olympics 2012 logo I found this little piece of genius.

I think my animation is not really a title sequence... basically I am not fulfilling the brief. I need to stop moping about this and actually change the direction slightly so it bloody does! GET A GRIP GAGE!

In this lesson I looked at how to fit text to a given amount of space. By changing the leading, point size, typeface and paragraph features alot of space can be made.

Spin off or rotate off?

Animated 'vulgar ostentation' to show different bad typefaces... but i'm a little unsure of which transition to use to move from 'simple & dull'. I think I prefer the spinning off video (1st one) as this has more character and shows 'vulgar ostentation' to have more boisterous and uncaring approach.

Final Crit

My animation is still a working progress, apologies. Below is how far I have got rendered.

• WHAT - Top 10 worst fonts
• HOW - Kinetic typography - short metaphorical essay on good and bad typography
• WHERE - More 4 - part of the 'Typography Season'
• WHY - Educate  about good and bad fonts and why
• WHO - Design/media students and people interested in typography or just a general interest in knowledge!

For the case I want to make something a bit more interesting and was thinking about ceating a lettershaped box to hold the DVD. I also want to include 1 of 4 possible posters (screenshots of idents)

Poster idea (will be portrait).

3D box... Too difficult in the time available!

Poster could fit in front panel... Brilliant!

Feedback....

Really good feeback and constructive. There are lots of little things I can take into account to make my work better and fit the brief more appropriately. I have underlined the points which I intend to work on!
