Alphabet

As a fun little homage to the past and all the fun it provided, I have created an alphabet out of a number of different methods and created a short animation to a soundtrack fitting for a retro dedication: Tetris.

A Slight Change From Animations

Anyone would think all I do is animate these days looking at my blog, to change yours (and theirs) minds here is a look at some other stuff I have been doing recently;

With these fish-based images I have tried to used simple methods of black line and gradient colours at first and then progressed into adding filtered photographs into the imagery as with the image of the fishmonger.

This image is a logo I have designed for my University's Graphic Design Society. The "F" standing for Fletcher (the name in which Graphic Design is taught) and the "10" for the floor of the building Graphic Design is primarily on. A reference likely only known to those that would be in the society which is why I think it is a good name for the society. I also think this is a good logo, it is a relatively simple design that is easy to read and could be identified easily from a farther distance. It also opens itself up well for changes of context as the block colours could be easily changed if necessary as well as having imagery included either within the triangles of the logo or within the white space of the "F" itself.

SELECT

The scenario I was given was a TV channel called "Select" that needed some idents for it's parent channel as well as it's themed counterparts (Arts, Movies, History etc). I came up with a few initial ideas and then ended up focusing on a spherical idea that is present throughout all of my animations. With the themed idents though I added a twist to each one, making them all unique to the channel they are for and I feel they all work for the intended channels.

   As you can see here with the Movies ident I have added a countdown at the start of the animation, one that is often seen at the start of movies (especially older movies).
   With Arts I wanted to keep it simple, and what better way to simplify Arts than to show a paint splat which is what I have done at the end of the rotations in the animation.
   There are numerous ways I could have chosen to portray History, however, I ended up following something that has come along more so than a lot of other things, weapons. Thanks to this I was able to turn the sphere into a target and fire some arrows into it, a weapon that is stuck in History and not used anymore.
   When the word Fantasy is mentioned most people think of either Dragons, Fairies, Flying Horses and other such mythical creatures. I'm no different, and as such proceeded to turn the Fantasy sphere into a Dragons' eye.
