Ambition Production

This is finished product for the Reed.co.uk Short film competition entry.

Due to to John (the cameraman) not being in college today, we had to recreate the structure of our Reed commercial.
By this I mean completely redoing our video.

Our video starts with me running into class because i'm late.
The video then turns into a montage of me researching and stopping my boredom by chucking paper at other classmates.

Tomorrow we will be filming the remainder of our video which will include the interview and the part where he works up the work ladder until eventually becoming a boss.

Photoshop Article

In todays session I managed to complete half of the overall article concerning raster and vector graphics.
Most of the time was spent up creating the background and text/image frames.
I created them by using effects.

This picture is of the effects menu which was used to create the background, you can see that I used bevel and emboss, to make the gradient more blocky and 3D, stroke, to line the gradient background and make it more interesting, inner shadows and inner glows are used again for the gradient background.

The colour, gradient and pattern overlays were used to make the purple colour that sits over the gradient background.

The purple  omes from the colour overlay.

You can see the overlay starting at the bottom, full of colour, and the ends at the top in a white colour, this comes from the gradient overlay.

You may not see it, but the article has a pattern covering everything, this comes from the pattern overlay.

Digital Graphics for Print Magazine article designs.

My first design features a customized background, which was made by using various effects including bevel and embossing, shadows, inner and outer glows and gradient and pattern overlays.
The text and photo frames were also customized by using Inner glows, shadows and overlays.

This designs background is actually a changed version of the previous background (see previous image), all i changed was the gradient overlays and colour.
The text and pictures frame is a simple ellipse tool with a gradient stroke.

This design in my opinion is the worst as the background design makes the text hard to read.
Also the frames for text and pictures were custom hand-drawn, this also limits the amount of space can be used for texts and also makes it very difficult to place images in, as all images are in a square shape, making the image burst out of the frame, thus ruining the design.
