Before and after adjustments

As you can see these images are my before and after I adjusted my final piece. The top image is my final piece and it has the right proportions were as the bottom image as you can see i have circled the faults . For starters the barcode is way way to big its bigger than my logo then it also has my logo that I cant use because it has no relevance to the company campaigners so after a few minor and major adjustments I have finally finished my final piece

evaluation

My evaluation of this project so far is pretty well I personally think it could have been better and could be sent out to a more audience that would really affect them for example. I was going to send it out in the post as mail and have it in card shops but now I think it would be better if I made it so it would be in pubs on the tables so that drinkers would be remembered of the consciences. I also think it would be better if I had more target audience e.g a sweet 16 birthday card seen as there is now under age drinkers as it would contrast against the other audience. I really like this card with the layout, colours and font but I don't really like the flowers as I personally don't think there sad enough. I also don't like the logo on the rear of the card as it isn't very professional. There is many things that could be fixed and made better on my card but overall I am very pleased with it so i am going to leave it the way it is.

This video really has more of a affect on the viewer compared to mine as this is a actually thing people would see all the time on the tv, every person in the uk has a tv an would watch this near enough every night at prime time. My card on the other hand would only be seen by a small majority of people as most people bin junk mail without even looking at it and the people who would see it in card shops wouldn't be as bothered to acknowledge it.

Think drink driving comparison

I am going to compare my cards to think drink driving posters that are already out there. This for example isn't very effective as it doesn't have a big effect on the viewer its just a pint of beer when people would see this they wouldn't understand at first glance what its trying to achieve. Were as with my card you look at it straight away and understand and get hit with a emotion that is very strong because its a child's father who has died because he was under the influence of alcohol. This is a poster that would be put on a wall or on a bus stop or in a pub but mine is a card which could be in a card shop or be posted threw the post to make more people aware.

logo company ideas

These images are my final company logo design its stands for drinking ruins innocent lives. I really like these ideas but they seem a little bit to simple.

my first idea

This image is my first idea I was going to make this for my final idea but the more i thought about it the more it didn't seem the right campaign to do and now I am glad I went with my gut instinct because i am very very happy with the final outcome of this project it has been fun to do and i have enjoyed every minute of designing these posters.

Ideas

These are 2 of my ideas for my campaign poster. even-though on the image its says i wont use either and dont like either I actually do really like them both and thats why i used t flower idea for my final campaign.

Best Friend

This is my best card as I really like the colours and the layout, I also really like the rhyming message on the front of the card. In my opinion when reading this card I put my self in the position of that friend and him being in the car with him, and my emotions if i was the friend would be guilt because he had died and I didn't I would instantly blame my self for letting him drive and not getting a taxi or a lift home but going along with him. And for that reason this has to be my best card. Also you may not be able to see it but it says ' to my best friend from paul ' on the sympathy card on the flowers.

valentines card

This card is the 2nd version out of my three. It is a valentines card about a woman's husband who has died from drink driving. I like this design but out of the three its not my best. I didnt really connect to this card as much as the other 2. The other 2 cards was more emotional as they ment more to me. (On the card on the flowers it say ' to my husband love andrea ')

statistics

This is my inside cover for my card it is a bunch of statistics in note form to create awareness of drink driving affects. It is not alot of information but it is the main problems with drink driving and gets the point across. The main thing people are hopefully think of when looking at this card is how it affects your family which is my main target audience.

Final card image front and back

This image is my final design for my drink driving fathers day card. The main image and focal point is the bunch of flowers in the center of the card. I took the image myself and then then added a young child's sympathy card to create the affect as if the young boy has lost his father. On the back of the card is my own logo and company name that i've used before.( on the card it says ' To daddy love from Jack' wrote out in crayons )

Poster

This is my final poster which is nearly finished all it needs is the crayon righting and then some info and text on.

Poster

This is the start of my poster I the image is my own and I have put the memorial card on it just needs righting on.

Flower for my memorial card

This was just a flower I made for my memorial card to go on the flowers this image will be placed in the corners and are for get me nots. The card will have righting from a child on in crayon.

This is probably the most simple info graphics image i've seen. It's easy to understand and very bold clear colours. The layout is very simple and basic to understand with pronunciation under each of the cups.

This info graphic shows pioneers in the field of programming, along with the history and current statistics of various programming languages. Also included are some random facts and algorithm diagrams to make the infographic more visually appealing.

This idea stood out the most becuase of it layed back approach with the statistics on one side and the info and states on another this helps stop confusion and helps people who normaly wouldnt understand it to read it and understand it with ease.

I like this as it shows the way the human mind works splurting out ideas all the time this is a very clever way and expert way to design a infographic image

Definition of infomation graphics

Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used anywhere where information needs to be explained quickly or simply, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. They are also used extensively as tools by computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating conceptual information. They are applied in all aspects of scientific visualization.

infomation graphics

I really like this method as it reminds me of brain stems and nerves. The infomation is set out clear and colour coded to each team and is listed out to each stage group in order of the games. I think this is a excellent method and really well done.

Photography

Sign - It is a painting by banksy

Signifier - It is a young girl frisking a solider on a wall

Signified - This to me says that a young child could do a mans job in the corrupt society we live in .

Sign - It is a poster for the award wining movie jaws

Signifier - It a great white shark swimming towards a woman .

Signified - It gives the images of a woman about to be eaten by the shark which in a way is scary and creates suspense .

Sign - It is the front cover for the film pulp fiction

Signifier- In the image you can see a woman lay on a bed with a gun and a magazine.

Signified - It makes me feel sad and has a aggressive nature with the gun but in the same way it makes me feel happy because of the layout . It seems more like a comic with the price and the title layout .

Semiotics

Sign -Biffy clyro album cover called Puzzle.

Signifier - Man sat on a wooden stool in a blank room .

Signified - The images portrays a sad and lonely feel with him feeling singled out. If you look in the back ground it looks like the two men are carrying out furniture just leaving him in a blank room on his own.

Semiotics Definition = The theory and study of signs and symbols, especially as elements of language or other systems of communication, and comprising semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics.

Signs = The sign is the whole that results from the association of the signifier with the signified . The relationship between the signifier and the signified is referred to as 'signification'.

Signifiers = The phonological or orthographic sound or appearance of a word that can be used to describe or identify something

Signified =The concept that a signifier denotes.

Scale images

Each one of these images are all to do with scale I have chosen them because I really like the way they are all created especially the finger one were it shows the size difference of the hairs compared to the finger its self and the hoovers are all really well created and are really funny i just like the flamingo as i is really clever.

Texture viral images

These 3 images are some of the best adverting and textured viral have ever seen, they are cleaver really well created and get the message across. The toilet roll and the paper towels are both really amazing the way the designer has linked them both together to create a recycling advert is genius and the car with the zombie in is also really good as its representing the resident evil 5 game which is also a really good idea.

This is a ident for channel 4. I really like these kind of effects and everyone nows them now but channel 4 is a lot more imaginative than the itv and bbc with theirs.

I like this advert because of the way it makes pc look. By making them look nerdy and very formal and then changing the view to mac and making it look informal and very down to earth looking cool and making pc look uncool.

As this images shows Barclays can also be quite formal were as the advertisement on tv is quite funny and informal more of a happy go lucky approach. Were as this advert is promoting to help your carbon foot print.

This image is howard from the halifax advert this image is supposed to be funny so you will remember it and open an account with them the tune is also very catchy so you will remember it this all leads to people going to there branches.

This is the exact same as the sprite once again it immersed in water trying to give the impression of the drink being refreshing. Out of the two products i prefer the coca cola advertisements as there more imaginative and better created.

This sprite picture again shows there product in water this must be there style trying to appeal to people by making it feel refreshing.

Microsoft have made a perfect console for the younger audience its bold chunky and very informal so it's not too posh and over done. They have created many types of body's for the console to appeal to the right target as you can see the black looks more formal and masculine just by the change of colour. Were as the white is more informal and very relaxed. In my opinion I prefer the xbox to the to playstation as its not to formal and over rated but more relaxed and happy like gaming should be.

This image is a perfect example of how playstation wanting there product to be more formal and professional. There body of the console is very shinny and sleek very clean cut and nicely finished but maybe to nicely finished for a games console.

As you can see strongbow is more of a summer, party, bbq type of drink as its slogan says total refreshment

This image shows that carlsberg is more of the football fan type of drink something to have when your socializing unlike strongbow which is a party drink

Out of the two videos chosen I found that the playstation advert as the most boring advert ever its was so dull and weird. Were as the xbox 360 advert was so much happier and lively. The music on the playstation was dull and to formal for what the product is plus the voice over was very formal almost like advertising a new love film. But contrasting on that was xbox 360 with there happy dominos song by the big pink a band that most youths recognize and can relate too. Once again xbox 360 have applied to there specific target market were as playstation are trying to make gaming more formal which doesn't really work so in my opinion i prefer xbox's advert

This advert is released the same time as the coca cola one which is also about water and having fun this just shows that companies like these two make the same sort of advert at the same time to try and beat the opposition. They both have the same sort of style of music a slow soft rock band thats singing summer songs. Also they are both advertised with younger people to appeal to there target market. Out of the two adverts i prefer the coca cola advert to the sprite as it looks more fun and happier but the sprite leads a very cool illusion.

This compared to the halifax advert is so much better its more funny the music really gives it a more fun effect were as the halifax is funny but in a different way. They are both two fantastic adverts but the barclay card advert is much better in my opinion

With this advert for strongbow shows a more relaxed approach, were as the Carlsberg is a more professional and has a different target market as it's more for the football supporters and strongbow is aimed at the party people. I like both of these adverts abut my favorite out of the two is the carlsberg as it is just a much more clean cut and professional look.
