Images of the Final Guide

Frame and Format// Photographing A's

In Design Principles we were separated into groups, I was put into the 'A' group and we ventured outside to take pictures of 'A's' in the surrounding environment.

Buckfast Street in London, I thought this was  hilarious at the time because 'Buckfast' is known to be what the 'neds' in Scotland drink.

Spot the 'A'.  This picture was taken in an indoor market/thrift/vintage/antique warehouse in Brick Lane.

The pictures below are all taken in and around college:

Photoshop Tutorial

Using adjustment layers.  View, Colours, Gammot Warning (working in CMYK) RGB Mode.  Make adjustment layer - hue/saturation paint over area's that are okay that you want to keep the same and then play around with the saturation until you get the required effect.

Frame and Format// Photography Studio Workshop

Link below for photo's from digital SLR induction.  Experimenting with aperture and exposure.  You may have to skip the A's in order to see the photography induction.  I hope I will get time to go back into the photography studio's and practice this again as I would hope for some better quality photographs.

Tuesday 13th of December I plan to go into the outside world, into the city centre of leeds to capture photographs of 'A's' on road name signs and experiment with traffic signs.

Types of Research

Primary research is the surveys, questionnaires and interviews and investigations that you carry out yourself, therefore the information you've gathered is first hand.
Secondary research 
Quantative research 'He eats 6 meals a day.'  Facts/Figures, this information is usually more reliable as they're often statistics taken from large groups of people.
Qualitive research 'He eats loads of meals.'  This is information that is more opinionated but can often be backed up by quantative research.

Drawing up a few icons on illustrator.

Within our group we have equally split the work load 

and I've been allocated the transport section..

Info Graphics

Below you can see a few sketched idea's I thought we could perhaps used in our travel guide.  The drawings show graphics of 'how to fold a shirt,' accessories to take with you on a business trip, 'how to tie a tie'  suitable and unsuitable hairstyles and also fashionable frames for your spectacles.  I would like to keep the travel guide quite quirky and light-hearted, and imagine it to be sold in urban outfitters, therefore a targeting young entrepreneurs who like this sort of thing.  We shall discuss this as a group however :)
