For the next breif I have chosen to produce a series of four 10 second promotional stings and a 50 second title sequence for the top 10 things to do when it snows, on an appropraite TV channel.
Subject -
The top 10 activities and games to play in the snow
Concept -
Activities for the audience to do on snow days
To entertain them
To make them want to do some physcial activities due to the fun nature of playing in the snow
Audience -
To engage children, between the ages of 8-10
Content -
Fun, friendship. I want to go for a more illustrative cartoon style imagery, as I think this would be most appealing for the target audience and it woudl work well with the subject, rather than photographs of the snow.
Tone of voice-
Humourous, fun
Design Decisions-
I think the main thing is to keep the childrens attention, as they have quite short attention spans, and need that element there that keeps them drawn in. I will have to consider things such as:
The colour scheme will have to be bright and pungy
The typeface will have to be bold, Sans Serif, possibly with rounded corners.
Action Plan-
-Research -
Channels - (Idents and title sequences on their programmes) -
CBeebies, BBC, Cartoon Network, Nick Jr, Boomerang, Disney
Designers-
Time Burton, Saul Bass
-Typeface - different ones that are appropriate
-Produce some initial colour schemes, that I can begin to work with
-Visuals - imagery that can be drawn/traced from
-Illustrations of characters, cartoons

Type Module - Lesson 1
Starting the Optional Module, I was introduced to the prodgramme QuarkXPress, which I have never used before, however after this session I realised it is quite easy to get the hang of, as it is similar to InDesign. The first task was to use the inital from my first name in lower-case, and the initial from my surname in upper-case, choose different typefaces for them and then describe them in terms of their formal attributes...
We then had to create patterns using the initials in the typefaces from the first task. It was interesting to see everyone elses patterns, and how we had all differently joined our own letterms together (e.g. joining serif's or stems) and making the pattern more abstract so that you can only just make out which letter is being used.
For next weeks session we all had to choose a different Serif typeface, and choose one letter that had key characteristics, so then you would be able to identify the typeface. And describe the formal attributes.
This shoule be done on A4 in PDF format.

Betetr more fluid pendulum - by using easy ease in and easy ease out, and motion blur
Pendulum from Kirsty Hair on Vimeo.
More moving squares, but this time experimenting with switching the focus from the foreground square to background square. I did this by cutting the layers in half and using a blur effect.
