MMc401.3 Typography

Paint the town red

Meaning: You want to go out and enjoy yourself.
Ideas: 1)Buildings being painted red, visible brush strokes,scaffolding with workers painting.
2)Silhouette of a town with red paint dripping onto it from dripping letters "Paint the town red".
 I like the use of a silhouette for the city, it shows the vast size of the city, I don't like the font however, its too bland in my opinion i would like to see something more fun since the idiom does mean go out and have fun.
I would like to use a hand drawn look for the font such as in this piece.
Just an idea for having people working on scaffolding painting a building red.


In the dark

Meaning: Unaware or don't know.
Ideas: 1)Top of a persons head with a broken light bulb above, as a light bulb above someones head means they just figured something out.
2)Man standing in a spotlight of dark while around is light.
Along the idea of having a broken light bulb above someones head, this might work better though.



Out of the blue 

Meaning: unexpected.
Ideas:1)Shark made up out of the words "out of the blue" Breaching out of the water.
2)Area painted blue, someone stepping out of it.

For the second idea, i like the arrows as if saying this was out of the blue.
Mainly just a reference image of a shark jumping out of water.



Caught red handed

Meaning: Caught in the act.
Ideas: 1)First person view looking down at bloody hands, knife on the floor, on a blood covered leg showing from around the door, tired young child stood at an open door rubbing eye not fully aware of what happened.
2)Red hand catching a ball that says caught red handed on it.

Similar to what i was thinking for my first idea but it would be from a first person point of view.

MMc401.2 Identity Project

Researching for this project was a little tougher than i thought it would be, as for my personal identity, the focus would be on 3D modelling and animating. I was only able to find one personal site that had a logo, the rest of the sites were a lot like behance where you only upload work.

The one site that i did find had a simple looking logo until you hover your mouse over it and it becomes a 3D icon.
                                                        http://www.glyndavidson.co.uk/

The site includes a portfolio, blog and tutorials. The portfolio i really liked as it showed progression.

The only other site that i could find was similar to behance called carbonmade. https://carbonmade.com/portfolios/3d-modeling this site works in the same way as in you upload work that you have created and put them into individual work folders.

MMc401.1 narrative project

I spent a lot of time sifting through hundreds and hundreds of images, hoping that one would jump out and give me some inspiration. I noticed a couple of images that were different from the rest, they weren't just images, they were images of drawings, which straight away made me want to do something along those lines.



This is the first image that i saw that included drawing elements. It caught me eye because of how simple it is. The main point that i like about it is how the drawing changes as the sequence goes along.


Though this one doesn't include any photography of any sort, it still uses the same idea of images in a sequence to tell a story. I really liked this one, i wanted to use specific element from this piece, which was the loop how the beginning and ending images are the same.
