Final (week 8+)
Over the last weeks everyone in class mostly worked on their final ideas and had many tutorials with the tutor to get the best out of our work possible. I created my poster, banner, Ipad screens, stickers and t-shirt design to match all the other themes and incorporate all the characters and the vision i wanted. I am really happy with the final result and how they all match each other and fit around the idea of an exhibition. The poster and the t-shirts are defiantly my favourite as you can see the real detail and the characters stand out the most.
Week 7; Pitches
For the pitch I had incorporated what I had found from the other posters and branched out to create character version of many pixar's known characters. This was my favourite one so far as it really captured pixar's essence, and showed a whole range of things to look at and edited together.
Week 6; Posters tests (needs writing)
After research I began to come up with some ideas based around pixar for the elevator pitch, This included the pixar ball and luxo junior who are very recognisable typography from the pixar brand. They were very fun to draw and really gave some life to the posters, yet were not right as they weren't detailed enough and did not have a high range of depth.
Week 5; Research part 2
These are some photos I found whilst researching films by pixar that had a minimalistic view.
Week 5; Research
After deciding to not carry on with the theme of Lord Of The Rings, I wanted to explore the other options I could think off, I defiantly wanted to keep with the theme of films due to theme being my passion. Therefore I came up with a disney pixar theme, yet due to this being such a wide range of possibility I decided to finalise this by just focusing on pixar. There for I did research into different characters and typography that I could use.

Week 4; new idea (lotr)
My initial idea for my final design was to look into films and posters around them. I firstly looked into the theme of Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Where by I was creating the characters in a cartoon and animated way. I started my initial poster idea by creating detail cartoons of Legolas, Gimly and Gandalf reaching for the ring. This was really fun to create yet took a lot of time and was extremely time consuming due to all the details and thus I decided to venture into another direction.

Week 3; Using Photoshop
In week threes session we also started to play around with photoshop and the tools that come with it. Using colour, layers, shapes, blur tool, paint tool and other things that make photoshop unique and fun to use. I really enjoyed using the blur tool this week as it created some crazy patterns and great things to look at. I used it mostly with my squares to see how I could manipulate them and make them more appeasing than a blank square. I first started with using the eraser tool to remove some of the colour then blurred it to create a zigzag almost look. This is more seen in the three squares in the middle of the work.
Week 3; Presentation
This week I did my presentation on British Punk and the 1970's. This was really interesting to research as my dad was a huge punk fan when he was younger and still has a soft spot for it now. So looking in The Sex Pistols and how there label and design was created was very enlightening and how this phase of creative deign was created. I believe the presentation went really well as I was able to find some good examples that created the punk genre well.

Week 2; Shapes and colour
This week we began to play around and test with shapes in illustrator. Firstly we watched an hour long clip called "Helvetica" all about how the font was created and is one of the most used fonts it'sits used in everything, to road signs, books and posters. This was really intrersting to get look into how fonts are established and how important they are too different items and giving of information.
Then we began to use illustrator for the first time to learn to use shapes and colour. This was a great learning curve for me as I had never used the software before so learning the tools and how to create different shapes was very interesting.
