Photographing everything for my boards

I booked out Studio B last week for today from 4:30-9pm. Since having the photography induction I know I need to document my final outcomes a lot better. Every placement I have been on they have always said students websites are very impressive when they have good photography and a theme. 

I rented one Digital SLR, 2 lights, 2 stands and 2 cables. I also used a large table for taking photographs on. One of the photography staff helped me set up the camera, but they left at 5pm. Every time I moves the camera I had to adjust the ISO or Apiture, Lisa had also warned me that all of her photographs turned out blurred when she put them onto her mac, because the quality of the view on the camera is bad, you cannot tell. Due to his I stared taking photographs with my iphone... and my SLR photographs are mostly blurred and my iphone photos look great. Very very glad I used my iphone, the only problem is on about 25 out of 264 images have different temperature of colour.

SLR photographs (the good ones)

Because I am a girl

This took ages to upload! so many photographs. Going to add them to my boards now and change the type and layout so it creates a brand.

Final Crit

Feeling positive today I had a lot of final products compared to some and I'm happy with my position. I am photographing all my work today, and i just need to fix one design for all of my boards instead of trying to recreate the brief in each set of boards. I have at least one thing to propose for each brief... so this work is very do-able and hopefully stress free.

 Feedback

The final crit today

I created by boards all to reflect the individual briefs, but after the crit and seeing everyone else boards it was easy to see that the individuality of the brief is lost with the design of the boards. I decided to re-design them to create a brand for myself and submission.
I hope this makes my work look more unified.

Boards ready for the crit

Because I am a Girl: Plan UK

Leeds Market

Taxidermy

Typosgraphe

These are my boards so far, ready for the final crit, I know they're not great but it was more of a case of mapping out the content and writing than making them look good. I have decided to reflect the brief ithin the boards. I thought it was a nice touch.

Daniel Chappell's Twitter

I took ages to try and delete the header, I tried to add extra code to the webpage, but this didn't work, So heres the best I could do... defiantly reflects dan though. Going to add the profile picture as Dan's logo when I do the proper photo shoot.

Final:

The event

This is all the sort of material I want to event to have. It should have a lot of fair trade stock. I priced up black boards as i will propose one for the event room.

About £40 for a A1 board, this would be mounted in the wall with a signing saying, how to help, and join the group.

Leeds Market SP

Nearly finished my Leeds Market Screen-printing. Very happy with the outcomes and I think is is something to stalls and market would buy into. Just have to screen print the newsagent variation this week, then I'll have finished this brief, I forgot how much I love to screen print.

Dan's mock up booklets and drum stick pencils

Foiling tomorrow.

Stickers Printed:

The final touches to the Dan brief. I made the work notation books today, using my sowing machine, it's been ages since I've used it which reminds me that I love using it. 
I also printed varying stocker sizes to use as envelope seals and fun promotion.

Boards for Dan C

I can't believe it takes so long to do boards! This took me near 4 hours. Tomorrow I have to do at least 4 sets of brief boards. Already started the Plan Uk set. To be fair Dan C is my biggest brief and the most complicated.

Info on Plan Uk and the 'because i am a girl' Campaign

Two simple designs to explain how Plan UK works and what it is all about.Going to print them off with James.

Doll label, as a reminder.

Posting Dan's Posters Around Hyde Park

Me and Dan went around Hyde Park to post his promotional posters. I originally wanted to flier paste then to walls and electrical boxes and posts, but after research I realised there is a £80 on the spot fine if caught and you have to pay the full removal price, and you can also get a ASBO. This would be worse because they have dan's info anyone can ring him and fine him straight away. 

So we used blue tack as only a few stores and taxi ranks would put posters up inside.

I think they look great and defiantly stand out.
