Video Music video :Crappier

Austin Tothen







Now when i was making this project i thought it was going to be very easy, boy was i mistaken. well we started off with me being the manager, "that was fun" anyway i was the manager so i was in charge of everyone and had to make sure that they were doing their jobs it went easy at first, we were doing the story board we were figuring out what song we wanted, and had a good time assigning the jobs for the people in the group, but then i had to go on multiple trips out of class for my swim team and i had to go to KU for testing for Dyslexia and Dysgraphia which i have confirmed to have both of those things. anyway back to the important thing when i got back our group was in chaos the person responsible for the actors and props didnt have those things done and the person in charge of the paperwork for the scenes and stuff didnt have that done yet, now i was gone for three days the only one who was doing his job was Beric which was find pictures to help with the story board and most of his job was to help while filming and to communicate with us  if he thought something should be changed and confer with me about things. when i got back we had to film ASAP and we did we got like one scene done in a weeks time because the two people that were supposed to film at home didn't and the actors were getting impatient with our sheduals that were consistently changing because our team didnt do what they were supposed to do and it was torcher for me because i was the manager and i had to deal with everything going wrong and i wanted to quite but i couldn't so i pounded down on them, HARD and i fixed what deeded to be done with Beric and we finally filmed two more meager scenes out of the four that we needed but we had to get rid of a major part in the video which was supposed to be a dog but we couldnt do that because it would take to long so the video doesnt even make much sense, (Sorry i couldn't control my group and be a better manager).





I am to blame for missing class and for not being a harder manager and i am sorry that the video was not good and that the group was in chaos and that the final product was bad. I have no excuses. : l

Typography Project
Graphic Design






Pre-Project


     When we started this assignment we had to figure out what to type i mean you can't do a typography projects without any type. so what we all did was find quotes for this assignment now it was really easy for me because i like hearing really funny quotes or really true quotes and so i had some already picked out (BTW i finished this assignment really early) but a lot of my classmates had some truble finding the ten they needed. we had to get ten but we only used 4 of them.



Poduction


When i started working on this project it wasn't hard to figure out what i wanted to do, Oh yeah on another note we had to pick out different fonts to use. anyways when we started i knew pretty much what i wanted to do i did have some issues though. when i started i started in color but we were supposed to do it in black and white with no grays or opacity changes so i had to go back through and rearrange things to fit with the black and white which was a little annoying but i got through it.



Final
(Ignore the blue circle in the first one i couldn't get rid of it :l )
(Black and white copy)



Post production

When i finished my first copy of this i was really early by a few days so i went in and added a little more details that weren't in there before also i added more things to adjust the colors from the original black and white. looking at it now when i'm writing this i really think i did well if i had to change anything it would probably be the enterprise A at the bottom of the forth one i could have added more details but for the most part i tried my hardest and i think i did well.
