More chapters of the book.

Digital Media Content Elements

Hey everyone, haven't posted for a while. Here is a new technology i found which transforms powerpoint presentations into video files. Haven't used it much, so have a look and tell me what you think.

Copyright in Music

Here is a powerpoint presentation I created on the topic of copyright in music. We had a number of points we had to cover and here are some slides taken from it.

Major Project for Conceptual Skills Class

Here are some screens from a project I made portraying some of the major projects I did in the Conceptual Skills class at TAFE. You obviously cant see the animations or hear the audio.

Nintendo Video

Here is an original movie made using old nintendo games and creating a interesting story line. Have a look.

Australian Idol Video Tryout

Here is a video taken at the Sydney audition of Austrlian Idol. Strangely enough it included two of my mates. Paul (left) and Chris (middle) the third guy is one that they met on they day.

None of them made it through but they gave it a good go. Have a look.

Master Scribbles

Here is a character I designed called MASTER SCRIBBLES. He is a graffiti artist. I created a sort of poster which could be put up to advertise it, as well as the design for the box which it could be sold in as an action figure.

SWOT Analysis and Decision Matrix for Ebusiness'

Here is a video webcast I created for a class in relation to SWOT alaysis and the decision matrix. We were asked to pick a business and using both the SWOT analysis and the Decision Matrix, evaluate their website and come up with a solution to their problem.

Press PLAY to start the video.

Dance Party

Here is a collection of advertising I did for a dance party.

I designed two flyers and a poster which could be put a telegraph pole or something along those lines.

Trop Fest Poster

Here is a poster I designed for the Sony Trop Fest 2007.

I used Photoshop for the Graphics.

Fifa World Cup Animation

Here is an animation I made using Macromedia Flash MX. It is a simple design but it is to be used as an E-CARD which people can send to one another to advertise the FIFA WORLD CUP 2006 held in Germany.

Just click on the link below to view it.

Joke of the Day

In class we started doing audio webcasting. It gave me an idea to create a joke of the day type of thing. I used a freeware program called WavePad to add effects and so on.

So here it is the very first joke of the day. But.... since its the very first joke of the day post I decided to put three of them. See how much I look after you. :-P

TAFE 2007 Student Diary Cover Competition

There is a competetion currently on for TAFE students to design the next diary cover for 2007. There are certain specifications you must abide by and you cannot breach any copyright laws through using "borrowed" images.

My class was asked to compete in this competetion and this is what I produced.

Make way for the 360

Recently I bought the new XBOX 360. I needed to sell my old one to help pay for the new one, so I decided to sell it through an intranet service.

I took a photo of everything layed out so it was easy to see. I still felt that it didn't really capture the value of the pack and the photo looked very amateur.

I then decided to use a technique in Photoshop I had learnt to remove the background and give the photo a professional look.

So here it is, the photo. Well it was sucessful just so you know I did sell it and to my suprise a mention was made about who made the photo and I gladly owned up.

Zero Tolerance for the Zero Coke Movement

Last month I posted a link to the Zero Coke Movement Site. The organisation is aimed at providing fresh drinking water for the world. On first glance it seems as though this is a very honest and true organisation. But at a closer glance is it quite clear that Coca Cola have lied and cheated the public. They have created a totally fictional blog which clearly portrays a totally fictional "movement" or so they call it.

Who knows what they were thinking when they created it but what we can be sure of is that they have really crippled their online portrayal to the public.

In short, it is quite disgraceful what Coke have tried to pull offm, through thier lies they have tried to create truth in all of this.

Shame, Shame, Shame.

Street Fighter Book Cover Final

Here is the final edition of the book cover I designed. Its a little different from the one I posted a few days ago but its essentially the same.

Book Cover (Street Fighter)

I'm still working on it, but here is an unfinished version of my book that I am designing. This is just the front cover, it might change from now till the time its finished but you get the idea.

More Banners

Here are some more banners I designed for my blog, my class wiki and another with my photo in it.

OH&S Powerpoint

Here are someeenshots from a Powerpoint Presentation I made on OH&S in the Digital Arts Industry. I also had to design a imaginary comapany I called Pineapple Computers. Which was poking a joke at Apple computers.

So I decided to include the logo here as well.

Banners

Here are some banners I designed using Photoshop. The reason I made them was to pick one and use it in a CV website. I wasn't sure which style was the best so I made a bunch to give me a choice.

If I design more I will be sure to post them.

Good Guys Ad Mockup

Here is an ad I made for the Good Guys catalogue. I used Photoshop to get the effect I was looking for.

If you couldn't guess they are floppy disks that are being sold.

Burnt Technique In Photo Shop

Here is a photo I designed using a technique in Photoshop which involves building up layers of colours and using gaussian blur to blend them together consequently producing a burnt look.

You then use the lasso selector and select a shape around it. You then select inverse around the shape and delete all the remaining bits.


This is the finished product.

* You can also use more than just two colours to create an even more realistic effect.

Surrealist Powerpoint Presentation

Here are some screen shots of a powerpoint presentation I did on the Surrealist movement.

It doesn't show the animations but you can get the basic layout.

Movie Poster - HOSTEL

Here is a movie poster that I designed for the film HOSTEL. I used a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Micorsoft Publisher to achieve the finished product.

Product Advertisement

Here is an advertisment I designed for a 3 1/2 floppy. I used the idea that the floppy is all the storage you need as it dominates over the computer.

Surrealist Movement

Here are some interesting surrealist works which I found on the web. They are all done using a computer as far as I know.
