DSDN 101 - Group Work Poster

This is our poster created in our DSDN 101 studio for "Spot Cleaning Company". We took the angle of making it a carpet cleaning service and made our slogan a pun at the same time to do with the carpet service.

DSDN 101 - Project 2

Final Flash Film:

This is my final film for the word Burst. There is a slight lag as the Bu and St go to lean which im unsure how this happened because in flash etc was working fine however nothing major and obvious. The majourity of the sound was made myself popping balloons a number of ways however the sound of blowing the balloon up was found and downloaded from http://soundbible.com/1417-Balloon-Blowing-Up.html.

Flash Developments:

I developed my storyboard futher that when the R gets increasingly bigger the other 2 sets of letters start to move away rather than just staying next to the R where they are. This gives some type of dominance as the R gets bigger the others are scared and move away.

After feedback recieved from the tutors i went back and shortened the explosion of the R and stopped the splitting of the R as shown. After this frame the R then disappears leaving the smaller R's to fly about the screen. This change just gave more emphasis to the pop at the top of the R.

After creating the pop of the R i went back and wanted something to show the significance of the R as it increases in size. I then edited the BU and ST to lean away from it as it pops. i thought this effect showed that the dominance was with the R as it was about to pop.

The final main development was the ending. I didnt really know how to end it and it just stopped after the pop so i thought that i would have a single R fall back down toward the other letters as they come back in to form the word Burst again excatly as it was at the beginning. I chose not to add sound in this part as the whole animation was noise and i thought it would be a good idea just to have a quiet end as the R fell down after the pop.

Final Storyboards:

This is my final concept for the word TNT with the T acting as a detonator switch triggering an expolsion.

This is my final storyboard concept for the word Teleport with the word dissapearing and re appearing around the screen to give the effect of teleportation. I had to redo this one at the last minute on the computer and not hand drawn because the one i had got water damage and was no longer readable to hand in.

This is my final storyboard concept for the word Burst which i have used to create my animation. Having the R inflate like its been blown up like a balloon then pop into smaller R's around the screen.

DSDN 171 - Blog 3

The item I have found is a blue vase with gold detail believed to have been from the 17th-18th century style rococo. It contains a central image in gold as well as very fine gold detail around the edges of the vase. The structure of this item is predominantly curves which shows that this is a style of rococo as this curvilinear style and look was one of the characteristics that made rococo recognizable; “Rococo was known for its curvilinear style and femininity of the pieces”[1].

This vase is also very exuberant another characteristic of the Rococo style with its bold blue color however not as exuberant as other pieces of the Rococo era with only having the one detail in the middle rather than a lot of patterns or numerous details on the piece. The cultural background behind this vase originated from France. This type of porcelain vase is alternately known as Limoges due to the origin of its craft. “Limoges porcelain designates hard-paste porcelain produced by factories near the city of Limoges, France beginning in the late 18th century”[2]. The central image is a gold inlaid stencil of a courting couple, which also shows the exuberance in detail put into the vase in the Rococo style. This vase with its curvilinear form and femininity shows the style of Rococo around the 17^th-18^th century that was being produced.
