Friend for Life

Friend for life

I used ImageReady and Photoshop for this project, I also used iMovie. I used these tools together to create the animation and to create the movie. Photoshop was used to create the characters. it was a long process and there are still somethings that need to be added to it. It would be fun to talk with a younger audience and find out what kind of characters they like. Also what colors and backgrounds they like. The story and music will be up to us but it would be great to have that interaction.

Friend for life background and story

These are the background images used during the story. The story starts by the sun coming up and the day continuing to progress. Blue comes on the screen and he is waiting for his friend Red, he keeps waiting and waiting. The day begins to get dark and the sun does away and the clouds disappear. Blue tears up and than Red shows up, the both of them get happy and rejoice. They have fun and the sun comes up and the darkness goes away.

Friend for life Characters

Here are the characters for the story, they are just simple and funny looking drawings. It is aimed at kids so it has to look a certain way and feel.

Friend for life

Friend for life
Who took my pain
The cleansing flood
You remain
Wash over me
Till I can’t be seen

Living water swallow me
Deepest river wash me clean
Jesus, savior more of Thee
Jesus, more of Thee
Come and ruin me with Your love
So no other is enough
Come and leave Your mark on me
Jesus, more of Thee
Jesus, more of Thee

Friend for life
I‘ll carry on
Through the pow’r
Of this flood
Let it spill over, over
Till I can’t be seen

Living water swallow me
Deepest river wash me clean
Jesus savior more of Thee
More of Thee
Come and ruin me with Your love
So no other is enough
Come and leave Your mark on me
Jesus, more of Thee
More of Thee

Deep is the stain
Inside of me
But deeper the river
That washes me clean
I’ve been the one
Who cries in the night
But you’ve been
The friend of my life

Living water swallow me
Deepest river wash me clean
Jesus savior more of Thee
More of Thee
Come and ruin me with Your love
So no other is enough
Come and leave Your mark on me
Jesus, more of Thee
More of Thee

I2 Project: Friend for Life

We met as a group and we decided that we should use our skills. Vialo is good at translating and Thom is good at creating music. I was told to do the graphics for the project. Vialo translated a song first and the song is a religious song and it had to do with friends. We recorded the poem to be played during the video. I didn't want to plaster the screen with Jesus so I decided to come up with a children's theme. I wanted to create a little story that children can relate to and can see friendship. We could work with another school and they could collaborate with a kindergarten and we could create two stories. We could make it all come together and create a continuing story with every collaboration.

Red Rojos

I had to create a logo and website for a class and this is what I have come up with. It is about an imaginative band named "The Red Rojos" and I had to come up with everything from scratch. I decided to go with the red logo and a red mascot. I tried to create a reflection of the english word red, the reflection is the spanish word rojos. The red mascot is just a thing we want the fans to get connected with. The band is also an indie band and we wanted to direct it in a less professional look. We wanted to create a more fun and creative look, I think it looks better than basic professional website. It is a more fun professional side with a twist, it still looks professional yet it is fun. I think it turned out great and I'm finishing up the website as soon as possible.

WK Blog

I was exploring the Wieden + Kennedy site and I found the blogs for their offices. They have different blogs for different parts of the office. They just blog about what happens in the office and they write about some funny things. They show some of the progress of their clients and what they do on a daily basis. They show the founder Wieden and they the fun they have at the office. It shows how they have fun and how they still get their work done. It shows me that they are a fun company and it would be a great place to work at.

Wieden + Kennedy

Wieden + Kennedy is my favorite advertising agency, they do a lot of sports oriented advertising and marketing. They have done all of the Nike, Brand Jordan, and ESPN commericials. Their ESPN commercials are hilarious because of the dialogue and mimicing of sports. The Nike commericials are usually always something different, they always display athletes but sometimes people are chasing chickens and sometimes they make statements. Their work section has almost all of their ads, check out the moustache one and the old Nike commercials. It just shows you how advertising has changed and how different it looks now. I like some of the old school feel on the old ads but the new ads tend to be a little more creative. The old ones are good and they have their own creative aspect.

Gatorade

These commercials are hilarious, they remind me of some old school instructional movies about sports. All three commercials are pretty funny, but I prefer the basketball and football ones. The commercials themselves look like they have been in the Gatorade's corporate basement for the past twenty years. They made the old school look to go with the old school feel, the voice over is what makes it work best.

Your own Pepsi Can?

If your interested in having your artwork splashed over a can than go to that site and follow the procedures. It would be cool if our work got up there. It is just shades of blues and you can do designs. It has been a fun way for Pepsi to get more of their customers to be more involved with the company. I think more things like this will happen and it will continue to get consumers interested in participating in the company's success. It allows the consumer to feel like he or she is more than just a person who buys a product but that they actually help create. You can directly do it online or you can use another application. Maybe one of our cans will be in production.

Grindhouse Review

I just saw Grindhouse this week and it was an experience. Yes, the movie is grotesque and absurd. It is by far one of the the weirdest movies I have ever seen, it is basically an experience. It was also funny though and the dialogue was classic. It is a long time to be sitting in your seat to, so get ready to pay attention to something for a long period. It is something different though, it is something that people should definetly see and feel. The trailers in the movie are the even more ridiculous than the movies themselves, if you find violence to crazy sometimes than make sure to not watch the trailers. Also, there are some hidden messages in the movie about violence- even when violence is everywhere. So, pay attention to some of the details. The first movie is crazily fast paced while the second movie is all dialogue driven. The second film is the Tarantino film, if you don't like Tarantino than you won't like that second movie. Go check it out.

Cave drawings and writing

As we write something everyday, we really never think about how language came to exist. We just write and we do not look at cave drawings as a legit form of communication. We just see cave drawings as early paintings, almost doodle like yet I find that stuff to be almost amazing. I see it as a language and a form of continuing to standardize a symbol as definition. It is an amazing concept to me and I think it is as important as writing. Writing definitely is an advanced form but sometimes the simpler thing is much more beautiful. Make the judgement for yourself.

Graphical User Interface

I went to my friend's house the other day and he had Windows Vista on his machine. I started to use it and try to look for the new things. It was not as friendly as I thought it would be and I thought Vista was supposed to step it up. It just seems like it is the same as my Windows XP with some new graphics. The Apple OS seems to be better and it has shortcuts that people will use. It is a useful interface, it is pretty to but it isn't just all about the hype. I was a heavy Windows user before and I am currently typing on a Windows machine but the Apple OS by far seems to be the better one. Both are not perfect but the Apple OS is better and everything seems to run faster on it.

Grindhouse

Check this site out, it is the movie that we spoke about in class. It is an exploitation movie and the wikipedia article explains it well. There is also an interview with Tarantino in the new GQ, he explains it very well. Tarantino himself is crazy and unique mind to read about. His methods of mayham are not just careless and pointless, they result in beautiful films. His past films to me are the best movies that have been made since I have been alive. This film is unique thought because it is a dedication to the old movies of the past. Tarantino studied the films and he created his own version. It does not mean that these films are bad because they are exploitation films. Things do not always have to be bad because they are popular and are not way different from other things.

Guerilla Marketing

I love this website, this place shows different guerilla marketing campaigns around the world. It shows how creative people are and some advertisements are just pure art. They are amazingly creative and create for imaginations to run wild. It is not just what we see in the United States, advertisements are everywhere and they are most likely better. France is suppose to be the hub of advertising these days but it always goes through cycles. Go through the previous entries and check out all the ads, pick you favorite ones and come back and post a reply.

Gen-Esei

Everyone should go here and check out some of the graphic design/art. The stuff is unique and different. The abstract pieces seem dark and interesting, while the graphics section has variety. The sketches show you how some of his art evertually got finalized. It is a small site but it has plenty to look at and explore. You can quickly explore it or sit there and think about the art.

International Cellphone Charges

When going abroad people should always find out about their cellphones and how they will work internationally. The article by the NY Times will explain everything for you and it will tell you how to save money. Companies still using different technologies is the real issue, it would be great if Americans could just buy phones and move to different networks when we wanted too. We in the US do not technically buy our phones when we sign our contracts, we pay for them gradually while our contract expires. It would all be easier, but I guess we need a diversified market.
