FMP Week 5

Having changed my idea into an app I researched into creating one and found out that it was going to be harder than I thought it was going to be therefore I had then set my mind on creating an advertisement video for the app.

I researched into how I could potentially do this and YouTube videos showed me how to make an iPhone in Adobe After Effects which was pretty simple but when it came to moving it, it became hard to do. I wanted to make this idea work because I couldn't actually create the app and decided to take a break from this and design the way it would look rather than trying to move it. I drew out some of the pages and started to experiment with them in Photoshop. I wasn't happy with the way they turned out however I went back to the video and tried to move the phone frame by frame. This still didn't look good and I was beginning to feel frustrated and realised that I had set my standards too high. I did not have enough skill to produce what I wanted to produce. I've now scrapped this idea and now focusing on the pages of the book. 

The book pages previously planned out meant that it was literally time to just create them and get them done. I did do some drawings prior to making them in photoshop just to make sure that the design was perfect. I started off with the poster quotes inspired by the website worst clients comments turned into posters. I wanted to have a page which was funny to the designer and one that the client could see and laugh after finding out how stupid the things that people had said were. This could then enhance the chance of the client wanting to learn about the elements rather than just accepting what they are just for the sake of their job getting done. 

After this I moved onto creating the title pages and having spoke to Soofia one of the tutors gave me the idea to change the title page to represent each element. Such as taking the element and using it to the advantage for example Line would just feature the pattern in line form rather than full colour. This made each page really unique however some proved harder than others and with time running out I decided that the rest of the pages would just have the original pattern. Another set of pages were the explanation pages where it would say a few sentences which explained the element; the few words would then hopefully lead onto the designer explaining further to the client. I wanted to keep it simple and kept to a simple border of the pattern and then the same font throughout. One person said that this was too much with the same font however I could not find another font which linked with the previous.
