Creating an advert : Final process

-

 Now that I've gotten my ideas I will now create the advert like we practiced in class on Pixlr E

I started by opening pixlr and clicking on ''Create New'' and a dialog box appeared. I went to the print section and selected ''A3''. I then added a title and a white background. This created my canvas and I left it in the portrait orientation

 
 

I then went to file, clicked on "open image". My image which I got from pexels appeared on the  screen, I clicked on "select all", "edit"  and copied my image. After that i went to my canvas, clicked on "edit" then pasted it. I also used the crop tool to remove the white corners

 

 
 

I also created a logo for my organisation. I called my organisation ''frog cancer" which is a playful way of condemning cancer. I edited the colour palette and this was my final result
 
 
 
 
 
 
Using the same process as before, I was able to get my logo on my advert. I used the move tool to move the logo to the top right corner. I also clicked on layer and then selected ''multiply'' as the blend mode and made my logo bigger.
 
 
 

I then added my text layers, I clicked on the text tool and on the canvas. For my website name, I moved my text box to the bottom right hand side. I changed the font to ''verdana'' in bold and the font size was 105pts and in pink colour.

For my tagline I moved my text box to the left hand side. my font, ''bengrraas" was in bold and italics and was 189pts. To give my tagline that effect I clicked on ''styles'', selected ''curve'' then selected ''arc'' at a -45 angle and of course coloured it pink.

 
 
After I was done, I checked the image to make sure the quality was good and then clicked on ''file'' and exported the image as png.

Beginning Research: Mick Pearce

Image
I am choosing Mick Pearce as he is an architect who has done a lot of work in restoring and transforming buildings (mainly in Central Africa) while also minimizing damage to the environment. In recent years he has done more sustainable architecture involving biomimicry and most recently, passive cooling systems. 'An original and innovative architect, Mick Pearce is particularly renowned for his work on the bio-ecological aspects of the built environment.' (Prince Claus Fund, n.d.). The building that I will be looking at is the Eastgate Centre located in Harare, Zimbabwe because the building takes inspiration from nature which I can also relate back to my project work The Eastgate Centre by Mick Pearce (1996) The Eastgate Centre, which has a total combined floor area of 55,000 metres aquare is a shopping centre and office space located in the centre of Harare. Mick Pearce drew inspiration for the building from nature, specifically termite mounds. Termites build mounds which m...

Initial Ideas (Crazy Eights)

-
Image
After looking at the project brief of the three themes (Primitivism, pop art, industrial) we were tasked with generating ideas based on our chosen theme. I chose primitivism as my theme as I think it gives me a more creative route and the theme is a bit broader than the rest. I started with creating a mind map I wrote down all the things I associated with the theme such as nature, history, land and so on. This helped me not to think too much on the specifics and to see how many different sections of primitivism I could choose from when creating the final project. After that we did a task called 'Crazy Eights' which required us to draw our ideas and develop them within a set time frame as it was supposed to be just a quick sketch of what we were thinking about regarding the project at the time. We folded our paper to get eight different sections for our sketches       I initially thought of African huts so I drew that first then i started to develop on that idea. I thought...

Website Creation: Gallery Portfolio

Image
In this post I will be creating my portfolio and website gallery on my Wix website. I will also be adding my finalised Architecture Project unto the gallery The first thing I changed was the background colour of my portfolio page. I right clicked on the mouse and clicked on 'change background' and selected the colour I wanted. I did this to show consistency with all my other pages and to also make the colour more inviting for viewers.     I then added an image to the page by clicking on the 'Add' button on my left hand menu and then clicked on 'image' and on 'upload image'. I then chose an image of my project from my files. I proceeded to add the image unto my page also using the transform tools to reposition the image to the center. My next step was to create a new page. I went to the pages menu on the left hand margin and clicked on 'New Page' and clicked on it to change the name to my Project name, 'SolarHaven Home'. I then clicked on ...
