Cultural Olympiad - Original Logo Idea
Original Logo Idea
This was an idea I created for the Cultural Olympiad logo,
or an image to be placed on the posters. Upon showing it to others, their
feedback showed that it wasn’t as effective as I hoped. Their views suggested
that it was “too busy” and “too big”.
Cultural Olympiad - Twitter Competition
Twitter Competition:
Leading up to the Cultural Olympiad, there
will be a competition running, where entrants must upload a picture of their
outfit they would make themselves and wear to the opening ceremony or a video
of them playing a piece of music on an instrument of their choice. The tweet
will include a link to the image or video and the appropriate hash tag. If they
are entering the Music competition, they will use: “#CultralOlympiadMusicComp”.
Whereas, if they are entering the Fashion competition, they will use: “#CultralOlympiadFashionComp”.
Cultural Olympiad - Task 9, Evaluation
Evaluation
For
this assignment, I was working independently instead of working as part of a
team. I made this decision as I wanted full control over the work I was
producing. My creative approach to this was based on secrecy and similar
designs to get the audience interested without giving out loads of information
that may, in the long run, push the potential viewer away.
To create
the poster and TV image for this assignment; I used Adobe Illustrator CS3. The
main tool I used throughout was “Live Trace”. This turns the image into a
vector image; this will simplify the image and make it easier on the eye. As I
want to become a Graphic Designer in the future, I put the skills that I have
learned on this course into my work to produce a series of graphic images. Not
only this, I believe that visual images are the strongest strategy.
As I
was working on my own for this assignment, I did not have a particular time
management. Instead, every lesson I tried to get as much done as I could in the
time I was given – along with completing work at home, which helped in the long
run. If I’m honest, I felt, the whole assignment was a challenge. This is
because I didn’t fully understand the task I was given. Also, the main problem the
Cultural Olympiad has, is it’s marketing strategy, so to be asked to do
something that the real organisers themselves cannot do, was a challenge.
