Name Tags

As we previously planned, we wanted to create name tags in the blog style we showed.
So I got to work using the images from the studio shoot, and here they are!

Studio Work

The session we had in the studio went really well.
We had a lecturer help us setup the appropriate lighting and backdrop for our photos and then we went with it.
I used my D-SLR to take the photographs of everyone, with Jack stepping in to take my photograph.
We then had the lecturer take a group shot of us for the website also.
However, Austin had to leave early and was not present in the group photo, so using my Photoshopping skills I managed to include him in the group shot.
Can you notice?

Here are some shots from the session.
I'm going to choose the best ones for each person and then use some basic editting to bring them back to life.

Photography

For the website, we have decided to create some student logos that can be used on each indivdual page.
The 3 of us are regular visitors to an automotive blog called Canibeat.
On this blog, they use logos at the side to show the people involved in the blog.
We want to try and replicate this design for the website as it looks so clean and will flow well with the website design.
Here is the one used on the Canibeat blog:


We have hired out one of the University Studios so that we can take some professional photograph for use on the website.

Website Ideas....

For the website, we want to try and stick as close to the Underground theme as possible.
To make this happen, we are going to base our entire design around the existing London underground website.
Hopefully we can pull this off with a really professional design.


As a starter Idea, we started sketching various ideas for pages of the website.
Here is a quick sketch I created that could be used as a start page for the website.

Website Group

With everyone fighting over the graphics and exhibition side of this module, the 3 of us decided to take hold of the website.
We are to create a website that promotes the exhibition and samples what is to come in the exhibition.

Chosen Design...

After presenting our idea to the rest of the class and seeing the other designs, a final design was chosen.
Unfortunately our design wasn't chosen, and instead a design along the theme of the London Underground won.
I don't know how the Underground ties in with our course or any of the work we have done, but I'm happy to work on this theme.
It's a shame ours didn't get chosen as I was really looking forward to working on our design.
