working on photoshop, i started my bus stop adverstiment and its started to look good with the help of photoshop tools.

Started working on my folder today all the finshing touches were made...

For my magazine adverstisment i will use these pictures:

I took pictures for my bus stop advertisement:

Slogan will be:

"CUT AND PASTE"

Here are the pictures i took with my own drawing of the sissors icons, this looked better and more real.
The neck will used as a bill board. The colour RED really stands out.












To conclude, the slogan will be

"CUT AND SHUT"

i took different angles of the arms, neck and stomach to see which one looked affective, so i could decide on the best picture which clear and zoomed in well to.
At the moment i am focusing on the bus stop advertsiement.

PRACTICAL WORK AGAIN....

After looking at differnt ways to cutt n paste, the cut here icon i have decided i am going to draw it instead. To day i have taken pictures:

After looking at my bus stop advertisement, as i said before i wasnot sure about what i created. therefore i thought by drawing the cut here icon would be more effective. I tried and used the colour blue, however it didnt stand out, therefore i used red.





It look and much better and very realistic.
i am goimg to draw the cut here icon on each three of my pictures which will be the arm, neack n stomach.

USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP!

During this week i have beein experimenting on adobe photoshop, i used different tools to create my 1st advertisment. i want as much practice as i can whilst im creating my 1st peice as it will be much easier fot me to do my billboard and my magazine adverstiment.

Tools i used:

*magic tool- that helped me in many ways, changing my back ground to black.

* crop tool- chnage the sizes just incase i wasnt happy

* hand tool - was really helpful as it located the arm where i wanted it to be, i wanted mt arm to be loctaed as a wide angel shot.

I started my bus stop advertisement on photo shop experimenting differnt colours and text came up with this:

The cut here did not look very effective for the bus stop adverstiment.

PRACTICAL WORK...

I took my pictures, i was very happy they way the developed. The angles and the natural lighting was just the way i wanted it to look.

I took many pictures at first but it was not very clear and was very edgy, and the camera angles wasnt in the right place. It was all about experimenting different camera angles, different hands, neck and stomachs.

I started looking at photshop, as i wanted to get use to the idea of working it as im going to use it more often now due to my adversiment. i was very good

My pictures

THE PRACTICAL WORK!!!

* This week my focus as and will be on my development of my folder aswell using my digital camera taking lots of pictures which is relevant to my advertisement.I thought about my idea and came up with a different one. I wanted all my three campaigns to be the same in the sence of colour and font also background however i want to have a pattern in my campaign.

* The use of pictures will be a neck, an arm and a stomach. Im going to use the symbol of cut and paste which u see on paper, food and drink.

PHOTOGRAPHY!

mise - en scene is really important for my campaingn that it was makes the picture/ poster.


I looked at different colour background etc. which would fit in my work and would b effective as all the three of my campaign will be the same colour and font. Just differrent pictures and and props.










Looking at different camera angles i wanted to have along wide shot however zoomed in ths picture and the text. therefore will build a relaionship with the subject. The use of closes up will make my posters more effective and attractive.

A magazine poster would be relavant because my campaign is targeted for women more then men, therefore having a advertisment in a womens magazine will be effective and noticeble, as women read lots of magazines.

MEDIUM-

The reason of selecting a bus stop posters is because my target audience is 15 - 10 years old and majority of them travel on buses therefore whilst they are waiting for the bus it will attract there attention. this would be useful.

MEDIUM!

For my campaign i selected a bilboard for 1 of my advertisments. the reason why i selected it because it would attract attention and they are usually situated in areas where most noticable for example road junction or roads where there are prone of traffic queues.

COPY!

* Today I researched on different fonts looking at which one would be effective and out standing.

* i looked at bill board headlines, bus stop headlines and magazine headlines to see what attracts the reader attention and what would be eye catching.




looking at the text on the billboard, i can see big bold white writing, however it is very simple and easier to read. The use of bright colours to attract the readers attention.







The use of text is in bold white writing which therefore attracts the readers attentiona nd is very eye catching as the whits text is very big. there is use of alot of bight clours and pictures too.









Looking at this bus top advertisement. The use of bold black text brings out the whole of the page. capitals makes the word more effective. also having a light background.












After looking at this i wanted my billboard text to be capitals, bold and the colour red, i was interested in the font groudy. which was simple and easly to read.

my magazine poster wouldnt have much text on it however comic sans would be more appropraite as well as a big title with the use of abstract on it, to make it more eye catching.

My bus stop poster will consist a red title as well as ain bold and in capitals, the back ground will be balck to me it more of a serious poster rather then the use of bright colours.

The langague will be simple, easy to understand my target audience are 15- 20 years old therefore it will be straight forward vocabulary.

SLOGANS!

I researched on self harming slogans:
http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?word=self%20harm

Take a break. Take a self harm

Get self harm or get out

Please dont squeeze the self harm

Happiness is self harm- shaped

An army of self harm

Nobody better lay a finger on my self harm

The Appliance of self harm

Nothing works better then self harm

See the self harm feels the shine.

LOGOS + CONVENTIONS!

I looked at different self harming logos so i could get some good ideas also to analyise them. i am going to have the same logo for my thress campaigns. this would be more effectie.

This is a survivor led organisation with a range of information about self-harm. Support peaople who selh harm. The logo is not very impressiong as the colour is not very bright, dull colour ares used. the "sh" emphasises quite? as in sshhhh? its not attractive as a logo i dont think it would attract people, not eye catching at all.

This is a Strategic Change Programme logo for Young People and Self Harm. Strategic programme focused on the issue of young people and self harm. The colours are bright and is eye catching which i liked, therefore it is imporant to have use of coloures in ur logo to attract the right people. However this logo shows that it is a developing learning changing. this brings up all sortd of issues people suffer from so it help you with not only one but many issues.

This is a depression Alliance this is for all depressed people also this is not only from one problem peopl suffer but more, had a wider range of inofrmation on diiferent issues this attracts the reader, the colour is bright nd caughts you eyes. a cloud and a sun whihc represents a bright and sunny day rather then having a dull day.

I liked this logo as it aimed at young children and adults," National childrens Help". Attractive, as the background is the colour RED and tjhe white people stand out also the image is eye catching. a wide shot, the NCH is on white bold too therefore you could not miss the text.

The logo is effective as it show the title aswell as what the logo is about. there are a side shots of the faces, which show in white and blue this emphasises different race and gender. however the colours are not very bright and attractive.

I looked at different posters based on self harm and anotating them, talking about the mis en scene, angels, camera shots, and also the gender. i found this useful for my campaign peice as i was aware of how my poster will develope and what is needed to create a poster.

I am going to start on my planning but before that i want to look at the sizes of bill boards and also bus stop posters and magazine size posters for my campaign.

http://www.redcliffe.co.uk/point_of_sale/billboard_posters.htm

This size will be one of posters, this should be will effect and eye catching for all the young adults catching the bus.

i want my magazine advertisement to be A3 size. i think it would be better as it will advertised in a women magazine.

This is th size i want my bill board posters.

I have just been told that i can not create a leaflet for my campaign :-( therefore i have to chose a different advertisment, i am thinking to do 2 different posters, 1 poster will be a bus stop size, and the other will be an A3 size and a bill board.
