The Consult

Within Consult i really like the sophisticated simplicity and experimentation in print. This is the type of design I would like to go into in the future.

I really like print, and six seems to experiment a lot with the different print techniques, layout and type.

I really like the style of the companies designs. It is all different yet has a similar creative view, I really like the experiments with type and also the use of photography as photography is a passion.

Evaluation.


I have definitely learnt ALOT from this brief! At the beginning when given this brief I panicked as i had never heard or been on After Effects before. I also have to say a big thank you to Mike Flower who helped me a great deal, he was brilliant.

For my animation I wanted to use type, as it is becoming a big interest of mine. I started with various different ideas; my initial idea was to use kinetic type on top of photographs, then i thought about possibly animating the type and incorporating small pictures into. This then turned into mostly kinetic type with several images alongside the type, of which I am happy with.  I do like what I have done but i know that it is not the smoothest or spot on animation or skills within After Effects, however i have learnt and applied the skills of which I learnt through this brief. I have also enjoyed learning these new skills and i do think these skills will help me personally and i feel i can adapt these skills to outside projects.

I do think i could have tried other ideas, looked more into different techniques, and ways of which I could have made the transitions in my kinetic type smoother. I would also like to now experiment with images, along with the cameras and the way in which you can pan around a big image.

Through this brief i have seen an improvement in my organisation as in uploading each ideas and development onto my blog, along with maybe bad ideas.

If i was to do this again i would definitely try and absorb as much information and techniques as I could, and look at several different ways of doing things as another way may be more effective. I also want to continue experimenting in After Effects as i did enjoy myself, and i can see ways in which I can apply this to other areas of my personal work.

This local company not far from my hometown designs within graphic design, photography and illustration alongwith identity and branding. I would quite like to have a placement here to see how this all works together within the studio.

Through looking into the kind of designer i want to be, having my own small photography business has made me realise my passion for photography alongside graphic design and print.
Therefore over summer I would like to look into maybe doing a placement with Simon Murray


I like Murray's style of photography, his photographs are high quality simplicity which works!
