Category: Experimentation (Unt: 3)

I’m really happy with using PowerDirector as an app and going forward with my project, it very similar to premier pro on the adobe software which I am unable to use due to different circumstances. The difference between the two is that Premier Pro is more in depth and features a lot more effects and gives you more options to experiment. Have in said that I believe this is the best app to use because it is easier to use. Also I can use soundtracks and images from my phone which helps the speeding process.

I used the effect wipe soft as it represented ‘New Wave’ which was a popular music genre of the 1980’s and also the song featured in the video was ‘Save A Prayer’ by the new wave band Duran Duran which is one of my favorite songs from the decade which assisted the images and the design aspect.

I have taken these images using an app called retro camera and have taken images that represent me and how I’ve been influenced as a graphic designer and as a person. By these images I am heavily influenced by the 1980’s by referencing a vinyl player, a Walkman, Sega Mega drive, the Mad Max poster, Comic books and even though it doesn’t link with the 80’s it still symbolizes my interests as a person; The West Ham United address Plate.

You could argue that it could link in with the 1980’s as West Ham United’s highest ever finish was 3rd which was 1986.

I have used overlays to create the dynamic look and increasing the sharpness to give it that nostalgic look to reference a specific decade. Also to make vivid and eye catching.

I was playing with the app to see what it had to offer. I was unable to download adobe software which was irritating as I wanted my work to be more polished but on the other hand creating something qurky can make work effect.
