Brief - Print - Stencil

Bristol born graffiti artist “Banksy” is probably the best know stencil artist. He uses stencil as a quick way of producing some of his artwork in controversial positions.


























A quadrant of my image will be produced using the stencil technique.

Brief – Animation - Inspiration #1

This brief requires me to approach an established company in the community and complete a short motion graphic advertisement for them. This advert should promote their services and end with their end tag. I have started looking at different ways mixed media can be used in advertising.

Brief – Type - Digbeth walk

A selection of the photographs takes on a walk in the local region of Birmingham City Centre.

Live – WMP - Initial idea #3

Outline

Birmingham city centre is often a hive of activity. People are rushing to shop, work or commute. Information signs are often not seen as a blur against a background of buildings and advertisements.

The theme of this animation would be to use abstract images to suitably inform the general public to be aware of thieves operating in the city centre.


Animation style

Quick rotation through a series of abstract images. These images would bet taken from images of police officers within Birmingham city centre

Overlaid on these images is a line being revealed in a 3d motion. This line represents the line chart of theft within the city centre over a period. As this line reaches data points, the corresponding figure is displayed in type. The final point would be the 29% figure stated as the year to date percentage

The police crest would constantly be positioned in the lower corner of the screen.

Live – WMP - Initial idea #2

Outline

Birmingham city centre is often a hive of activity. People are rushing to shop, work or commute. Information signs are often not seen unless it is purposely wanted in the event of a person becoming lost to their next location.

In touching on this theme a 30 second bulletin needs to compact as much information as possible to the viewer.


Animation style

The style of the animation is to use familiar locations around the city as a memory stimulant. The idea is by using these locations the viewer can quickly relate and focus on the content of the scene.

By juxtaposing different media styles from that not normally seen in everyday city life should help to capture the viewers attention.

Film would be used as the base media. The film is to start at one such familiar location and passing through approximately 6 locations around the city returning back to the first.

In between these locations the film speed will bet increased so the route is just visible.

At each location (where the film speed would return to normal) would be the interjection of the second media, paint, stencil, pen and wash or vector graphics. Within this scene would be placed an element of financial value positioned unattended. These elements would be such things as mobile phones, cameras, wallets, laptops, keys etc.

On-screen text information appearing in the style of kinetic text entering at different angles and font weights to emphasise key words.

29%

The police crest would constantly be positioned in the lower corner of the screen.

Live – WMP - Initial idea #1

Outline

At the time of the upcoming Christmas period, the opportunity for thieves rises as the public awareness falls in the holiday spirit.

This campaign is focused on informing the public how not to become a victim of such crime by taking a few easy steps into consideration.


Animation style

The style of the animation is to have the graphical text falling in the style of show and settling on the ground.

Faded in the background is the type “29%” in the form of regular snow. This text falls slower than the main text but still visible to be seen falling.

At the end of the animation the police crest falls to be inline with text that will fade up to match “29%”. This new text would read ”City centre theft is down” – “year to date”.

All elements fade away leaving crest. Crest fades away.


Animation text

Be sure to only give the presents you want this year.


· Keep your bag closed and close to you at all times, if possible with the opening towards your body.
· Close your purse and put it away before you leave the till.
Try not to overload yourself with bags and coats.
· Avoid carrying your wallet or purse in a back trouser pocket.
Keep cash secure and out of sight.
· Be discreet when using mobile phones, put them away as soon as you have finished.
· Don’t hang handbags off pushchairs then leave them unattended.
· Try attaching a cat bell to your purse so it jingles if someone takes it out of your pocket or bag.

BEAT THE PICKPOCKET


Added considerations

No sound - Film is that they are intended to be played on screens around the city centre that don’t necessarily have sound.

No flashing images - Flashing images can affect epileptic sufferers.

Short attention - Viewers attention must be grabbed quickly as their main focus will be shopping / travelling / working.

Inspiration - London – 5/11/09

Barbican Centre

This was my first visit to the Barbican Centre in London. I found the architecture in the village some thing I would not have expected in London.

At first glance I saw the area as a concrete jungle. During the time I spent walking around the centre, the first thing that began to stand out was the lack of people rushing around. The contrast of the glass faced buildings and allowing natural plants to grow (although in a controlled manor) give me the feeling of o little oasis of tranquillity hidden any in the mayhem of London.

Brick lane

Seeing the space where I will hopefully hold my final major project exhibition gave me an injection of excitement. Seeing the space as a blank canvas, I could vision all sorts of things going on. Installations, interactive activities, internal constructions, large displays screens all of which I think are possible in this space but may be controlled by budget.

My initial thought is to want am area away from the walls so viewers can walk 360 degrees around my work and hopefully through it. “So come on Santa, iv been a good boy this year”.

This mural is on the external of a building. It reminded me how any material can be used in such a way to form a piece of art.

Tate modern

As it was only a short visit to the Tate modern, I decided to focus on the way in which work is displayed, rather than the work itself. “Sorry” - all artist.

This display by Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno reminds me of a different way of displaying motion files through a projector I first saw in B’ham City cen. Instead of projecting on a canvas / wall from behind the viewer, this way is projected onto a glass plane from in front of the viewer. As a display against a wall I think I personally would rule this method out it regards to cost, but would be very interested as a way of displaying work overhead.

Paul McCarthy

I had to walk through a narrow hallway to enter this dark room. I was surprised when I got to this exhibition by Paul McCarthy (b.1945) – material gestures. The material was controversial, but I found the way it was displayed more interesting. The large room was filled in the middle with projectors displaying on the walls. The viewers were able to walk around the projectors and become a part of the display screen. Although in this instance I don’t think many wanted to become part of this display.

Nb. You try taking photos when your trying not to get caught.

Jill Magid

This installation by Jill Magid – I can burn your face 2008, is one way of adding mood to an area using lighting.

Brief - Print – Dry point

This is a dry point print done by the painter Rembrandt. this piece is titled “Abe angels.”

I am attempting to print a section of a photograph using this dry point technique.

Brief - Animation - Flipbook Inspiration

To create a flipbook starting and ending on a given shape (triangle).
The triangle has made me think of a mountain peak, so I want to create a story around a mountain climb.
