Field Trip

On Monday October 27th my Graphic Design class and i went on a tour to go visit the "Plug Project" it is a really cool organization that will go across the U.S. to find artists they want in their display. The huge thing that i took away from our meeting we had with them, was that they will have a room filled with the same theme but not all the same topic. So they could have a a theme of free and spirited, and they would get paintings with horses because they can represent freedom and just set free, but there could also be a painting about someone dancing, because when people dance you feel free and its very spirited. The idea is so that they can show a room with all of the same feelings but interpreted into so many different ways, instead of having 6 paintings of all horses or all dancers. The picture to the left is showing the plug projects thought board, this collects all of their ideas on one wall and they will discuss throughout time.

Then we went and visited the Bill Brady museum, that was an interesting museum because everything they had displayed was in the middle of the room hanging from the ceiling. And normal art displays put there art on the walls around the room. And they also hung plasma TV's with digital art from the ceiling as well, so it was cool to see something different. As far as I could see the art that was displayed at that time all had a very earthy and beachy feeling to it. Like they had the glass little globes and it was filled with sand and choral stuff, also had stones on the ground, and lots of water like art.

Project Presentation

 i have been working on lower thirds for ONW now. The initial Idea was to have just a lower third showing the topic/the names of the people talking, but then they also wanted a logo of all the sports to go with the lower third. First I went and googled designs for lower thirds, sketched some of my own, then brought my sketches to Mr.Allem and Joe, they both liked the pointy one but wanted a hexagon with it to present the logo. Some complications came from miscommunication, because now I am told to do it differently than what I have been working on, so instead of making it how I already have it, I need to change it to make it more rounded and flow. 

this is the first completed lower third with the fake gradient on the text panels, but there really as not enough room for the words on this one so i made one a bit bigger with a totally different feel to it

this one would cover the entire bottom of the lower third of the screen, and have lots of room for words, but then shortly realized there is just to much going on in this one so i scalled it down a little and changed a few colors

this is hopefully the las one i will be making of this, the gray and black box represent the T.V. screen and then i have my lower third down in the lower third portion of the screen with an example of what it would like with type on it.
