<< different video regions, (select PAL D1/DV Widescreen Square Pixel)












<< this is where the duration is selected

layers> for this we selected: solid>square(100x100)

^^ adjusting the red bar represents how long each layer will last.

adding another layer:

^^ playing with the red bar allows you to edit what layers appear at what time

space bar - play

^^ designing with frames (ie zooming in on the time scale) by clicking & dragging the grey bar/mountains

KEY FRAME:
adding a key frame allows you to adjust the position, anchor point, scale, rotation & opacity:


























^^ playing with the yellow diamonds adjust speed (time)

opacity & position:









adjusting the work area>this allows you to focus in on a specific part of the work & re-plays the section you're working on (using the grey bar):




shortcuts:
i + o = in & out (jumps the play bar to the beginning of the selected layer)
b = adjusts the work area to the layer you're working on
t = opacity
p = position
s = scale


EXPORT
changing the end point of the working area>composition>add to render queue>lossless>format options>H.264>output to

FINAL DESIGNS










 




































 




















 < I'm pretty happy with how the new designs turned out, however, I'm still unsure whether there's too much white space on the labels







 < After looking at the print I think the design could be improved by using a gloss finish in the logo rather then a full satin print.




















< I'm happy with how the design looks on satin stock. I'd be curious to see how some of the other poster designs would look like on maybe a gloss stock or with a foil finish

PRINT//designs

final products for digital print:
















additions to the deliverables..

business card:























notes for each frame on the film:





PACKAGING//final label designs

Looking over my designs made me re-think the application of colour in the labels as I wanted it to keep to that minimal looking design.









<< changing the aperture from fill to stroke



















^^I'm alot more happy with how these are looking.


finishes//considerations
these packaging designs could be embossed for that sophistication OR foiled as it fits in with the silver salts that photographic film is made up of aswell as creating a more expensive looking finish.....


FOILING

foiling using the laminator in the library:



POSTER//development & final design









<< I dont feel this design is bold enough but it helped me develop onto the designs below which I think are appropriate to the brief...



















although i like these designs they potentially have too much white space if they were to be placed with the other products which already have a fair bit of white space..







<< simple, bold & pretty effective














^^ I really like these posters as a trio, all three colours compliment eachother.



I decided this poster worked the best as the colours fit in nicely next to the products and the colours sit complimentary next to eachother on the poster itsef...
