oooohhhhh I am so having to drag my arse out of bed now! I think it has a lot more to do with general tiredness rather than the lack of will to attend college though!
So Illustrator today, and I have to say that I learnt what I feel will be a very useful tool. It is to do with finding paths and the dividing them so you can make text entwine other letters, or cut out the centre of objects exactly with the compound path feature. Great for creating optical illusions like a decreasing coloured tunnel. But most useful for logos as you can remove sections of letters or shapes. All very good.
So this afternoon Phil is back to health and back at lectures, and so we had to do our poster presentation, oops as I had not prepared anything or even looked at a poster. After spending a whole two minutes thought I came up with Gone with the Wind as a classic poster or a simple poster of Alien. Laughable both of these were then featured in Phil's power point! At least I Didn't have to look for the posters online, I went with ALIEN as I loved the simplicity of the poster whilst still installing a fear in the darkness and of course spawning the most famous movie tag line ever! When you did look closely at the poser it was brilliant in creating the feel of space as well as the fear of something being out there. And I also think that the X-box has kinda copied the glowing egg for their logo, or that may just be my observation, but the glowing egg opening gives you the impression of that there is something in there and it doesnt feel friendly!
I do enjoy the groups presentation days as you get to see what other people choose and gives you a kind of insight into their interests and of course I do love a good group discussion, just find it hard to keep my mouth shut!
