On Wednesday, march 13 in our concept development class we talked about our finals and watched video. However, all the time, I was thinking about my final video that we have to make. I was thinking what I can do to make it more interesting and attractive. The words and the pictures that I have to use should communicate my point and I was thinking to figure out what to use for images and for text. During class time I was only thinking my final video.

My video would be about global warming. There are many things that involve in global warming. However, I found information that I haven't notice that those could make global warming, such as livestock, and leave computes on during nighttime. I learn so many interesting think during my research for this project. I really enjoyed making video and telling my point by really short video.

Monday, March 11

On Monday, March 11 in our concept development class we watched a documentary video of Lynda. That documentary video was about AIGA, American Institution of Graphic Arts organization.

By watching this video I got many interesting information about AIGA organization. I noticed that AIGA is a natural organization for designers, which has 64 chapters and over 20 thousand members. In this document Lynda interviewed some people who were working for that organization. One of the interviewed was with Rick Grefe; the executive director. He talks about different ways that designers use to inspire their audience. He mentioned that design is very important for everyone and he talked about various new designs for global problems that every single are facing with.

This subject got my attention because recently we work on a presentation video that could communicate perfectly with our audience. The subject of our video is one of the global problems. We always deal with global problems, such as clean air and water, trashes, energy, economy, finances and so on. The way that we communicate with our audiences is very important. We should know what kind of type and color we use to get our audiences' attention. The picture and song that we use are the other important fact that could effect on our audience. All principal of design have to work together to change the audience feeling and give them new information to do something to save our planet earth.

Final Project

The subject of our concept development class on Wednesday, March 6 was talking about our finals. Our teacher Jimmy asked us about our final projects and what we have done for it. Each of us had different ideas about save the planet subject. Most of us have already decided what we goanna do. While jimmy asked our subject, he talked and explained how to make them in order to communicate better. He said that we have to think about and ask ourselves few questions, such as what we want our audiences think, know, fell and do. The starting point is to make a research about our subjects and our points and find related information about that topic. He also mentioned that we have to make sure that our sources are valid.

After going through each person’s ideas, jimmy asked to draw our story board which means the slides that we going to have in our videos. We had to think about the placement, text, sound, and images. While I was working on my story board I explained my slides and idea to jimmy, and I found out that I was choosing a really big massages that are not possible to explain in 2 to 3 minutes. He said if I said one thing would stay on peoples mind, but if I said do many things, people won’t remember them. His explanation helps me to find my direction and work on it instead of playing around and send so many ideas.

Three Sets of Images

On Monday March, 4 in our concept development class we posted up on the wall our three magazine’s images that we were assigned to bring. The three images should not be related to each other, but they have to make an interesting story.  We looked at all sets of three images and we should have recognized the story. Then we each took turn to tell the story that he or she got from those three pictures. Then we all started to think and used our creativity and imagination to make different stories from each sets. After guessing the story of each sets we asked the owner of the images to tell the real story. Sometimes we get the story right and other time not. Sometimes the story that students made were more interesting than the real story. I learned that we can make really good and interesting different stories from the same three pictures over and over again. I learned that if I take time and think more open, I can come up with more than one story from sets of pictures. I have to practice my creativity and imagination because I saw that my classmates made really good stories from each sets that I couldn’t make them by myself.

My pictures that I brought were an old man, a bottle of the shampan, and the war image. I made funny and not real story, but I think our teacher Jimmy didn’t like because he said that story not goanna happened. The old man was really old and he was drunk so army would not take him to a war. However, my goal was to make an unreal story to make my audience laugh. After going thought each sets, we were asked to make some really good stories from all pictures that we had. We came up with some interesting and some strange stories.
