First Animation

Journal: 9-12-2011

In todays lesson we started to put our picture animation of our Jelly Beans together. This is a very long process because we had to crop all the photos, rotate them and also edit the brightness and contrast of each photo to make them really bright. When this is done I think it will look really good, hopefully we have took enough photos!!

I also decided today that I would like to make all my photos on my digipak look like a cartoon. As I didnt know how to do this I had to search for it on the internet. I then experimented on different pictures to see if it worked. This is what I came up with:

I am really happy with how these photos turned out so I will be using this for my digipak.

Digipak

I have decided to change my digipak design slightly as I thought of a new idea to have behind one of the CDs DJ DES standing there looking up whilst lots of jelly beans are falling. This will be placed next to the image of the jelly beans by themselves.

Before I can finish my Digipak we need the jelly beans to come through the post so we can start taking our pictures properly.

Final Digipak Designs

Journal: 14-11-2011

In todays lesson we started to think of how we wanted our logo to look when a teacher walked past and told us what we was doing. We told him that what we was doing and he told us to look at a music video that he found on YouTube: "In Your Arms" - Kina Grannis.

As the music video is entirely made from jelly beans we had the inspiration to make our logo out of jelly beans or a similar sweet. The teacher had told us also that he knew someone who used to work in "M&M World" so we could maybe use M&Ms and get them for free if we promote them.

Here is the music video:

Here is how they made the video:

Pitch

Journal: 9-11-2011

In todays lesson we had to finish off our pitch that we will be having in Fridays lesson. The pitch will include two powerpoint presentations, one telling our concept and why we chose to do it and the other a production plan.

We also today decided that we are doing a 6 panel digipak with two disks. We will start to design and make these as soon as possible.

Here is the template we plan to use:

Production Plan

Typography Ideas

Here are some rough ideas of the types of typography we could use for our DJ's name. None of these are definate yet as I have not shown the other group members Daisy and Sarah.

Number Plates

As a group we thought it would be a good idea if we got a number plate with our DJ's name on it "DJ DES". We want to put this on the camper van at the beginning and end.
