Project 3 : 10 Images

 

 

 

Description of My 10 Items:

1. My Puppy Koncho

Just look at him, how could you possibly tell me that he’s not the most fantastic dog on the face of this planet? He’s mine and perfect. I could go on for days of all the ways he’s a brilliant puppy, but like I said, that would take days. 

2. My Guitars

I play a Fender Cyclone, and an Ovation. Both are red. It wasn’t until recently that I realized that both my guitars are red! Which makes them even more fantastic. Music is a HUGE part of my life. I would have put a photo of my piano as well, as I played piano for years. Although I didn’t, because I eventually became so tired of playing classical piano that I went out and bought a guitar and rocked out instead! Now guitar trumps the piano in my life and has become an integral part of my obsession with music. 

3. My Cottage

This photo has a duo purpose. It is taken inside my cottage kitchen. My cottage is easily my favourite place to be, especially when I’m there cooking there with friends. It’s my sanctuary from suburbia and the city and I spend as much time there as I can.

4. Sketchbook and Sharpies

My obsession with drawing, sketching and doodling started when I was young, and I’ve never stopped; nor do I intend to. I can lose hours behind my sketchbook and love to do nothing but doodle all day and night.

5. My Cellphone

Sadly I love my cellphone. I hope it doesn’t give me a brain tumor.

6. Guides

10 Years worth of Brownie, Girl Guide, Pathfinder and Ranger badges, books, pins, awards and uniforms. Yeah, I know, I’m a loser.

7/8. Cooking and Baking

If I didn’t make design my career, I’d probably be a chef. Making food and feeding people make me ridiculously happy and I love to cook and bake. 

9. My Car!

I love my car. There’s nothing better than being able to get in your car and drive somewhere. I love driving.

10. My Jewelry

The collection is of my most sentimental pieces that were either given to me or purchased by me. This collection is particularly important, as it features pieces I’ve collected from around the world. Some people collect shot glasses, I collect Jewelry.

Countdown!

Project Two : Peel Me Countdown

Project Two : Creative Brief

1. Title: Peel Me Countdown


2. Overview:

The concept of this countdown originated around ideas of food and numbers. I originally had lofty aspirations of using eggs. I had hoped that I was capable of slitting eggs, inserting numbers into them and then reattaching the shells. When the eggs were cracked, it would give the impression of the numbers “hatching” from the eggs themselves. This, however, was not the case. I then attempted to “fake” the hatching using photography and stop motion animation. This trial was marginally more successful than the first. Eventually, I moved on to another item, onions. The onion proved to be a perfect candidate for counting down to.  Through teary eyes, I used the layers of the onion as my canvas for each number in the countdown.

4. Audience:

The intended audience would be people who have a sense of humour regarding food and film. I enjoy working with food and typography, and design these videos to be geared towards people that share a similar fascination. It is not geared towards a specific age group; if you like it, you like it, and if you don’t, well, there are other videos for you then.

 

5. Key Message:

Ideally, I would like my audience to learn about the potentials of typography and food. I think this unexplored combination is worth talking about, and particularly worth exploring through film.

 


6. Content Planning:

The bulk of the content would be the onion. I cut half the onion to use for the countdown. I used another full onion to be used as my “number two.” For the end of the countdown, I use a knife to chop up the numbered layers as my last seconds run out and for my end credit sequence.

 


8. Bibliography: Peel Me Countdown uses all original photography and typography.
