Set Up – The way I want this map to be set out similar to the map below



I would like the stadiums to be in different colours so they are easy to identify with the entrances clearly marked; public transport access should all be the same colour (make sure that trains, trams and taxi ranks are clearly marked.); Street name are visible and clear, Parking and Toilets areas easy to read, Restaurants\Cafes and eating areas are shown and a key so people using the map know what each symbol is. I would like there to be a feature where users can press on the pictogram and information on the icon comes up. For example each café or restaurant and it will show what foods are served, Taxi ranks with the photo number of the taxi company etc. Finally users of the map should be able to zoom in and out of the map.

Social Conscience

The design I have decided to research is war. I wanted to do 2 posters that are simple and easy to read so the readers can understand the message without having to think too much. I hope that the idea that war is not the answer and that it is not a game really stands out. The first one promotes peace. I used vibrant and bright colours to really catch the eye to show the happiness. The second one I kept really dull and plan. I want whoever is looking at this poster to know that nothing good can come from war. I have included a quote from Leo Tolstoy to share his opinion on war. 

A line and a dot\Motion

This is a motion movie I have created as part of my assessment (1c). It is the movement of my favourite NFL Player scoring a touchdown. I used motion in photoshop to create this movie.

Motion

This is an exercise on motion sequence. The red, green boxes and the title will move around the screen. This is a great way to show motion and movement in photoshop. Surprisingly very easy to do once you get the hang of it.

Pen Tool

This is the pen tool in photoshop. We practiced using this tool by tracing over line and bending and curving them over the lines. It was a great help and will help me in the future when tracing or drawing an image. A great tool on photoshop.
