Obligatorisk oppgave 01

Obligatorisk oppgave 01 Fotoarkiv skulle gi oss kunnskap om metoder for kreativt arbeid, designlære og fotografi. Den skulle skape bevissthet gjennom det å ”se gjennom linsen” og benytte prinsipper for å ta gode bilder i praksis (harmoni, bal-anse/ubalanse, form osv). Vi skulle skape en base med bilder som kan brukes gjennom hele studieåret.

Det skulle tas minimum 100 bilder, 10 i hver kategori. Katego-riene var: Mennesker, Symboler, Bylandskap, Mote/trend, Form, Mat, Stemning, Kontraster og Transport. Bildene kunne bare beskjæres og ikke manipuleres digitalt på noen måte. Tre av bildene skulle leveres inn til veileder for evaluering.

Obligatorisk oppgave 02

Obligatorisk oppgave 02 Logo skulle gi oss kunnskap om research, skissearbeid og definisjon av målgrupper. Og kunnskap om kommunikasjonsprosesser og utforming av bud-skap. Samt praktiske ferdigheter og kunnskap innen verktøy benyttet i den grafiske bransjen. Bruk av typografi og farger i forskjellige trykksakproduksjoner.

En logo skal gjenspeile et varemerkes eller bedrifts visuelle identitet. Vi skulle designe en logo som var enkel og lett gjen-kjennelig. Tidløs, helst ikke flere enn 2-3 farger. Bør inneholde et symbol/figur/ornament, samt en tittel (navn/merke). Vi kunne velge mellom å designe en ny frokostblanding, en ny kaffe eller en ny sjokolade. Den skulle ferdigstilles i Illustrator i RGB, CMYK og gråtoner.

Øverst: Taboo logo i farger og gråskala. Nederst: Logoen plassert inn på forsiden av sjokoladepapiret. Farger og gråskala. Logoene er utformet i Adobe Illustrator.

Obligatorisk oppgave 03

Obligatorisk oppgave 03 Illustrasjon skulle gi oss kunnskap om kommunikasjonsprosesser og utforming av budskap. Kunnskap innen komposisjon og utforming av grafisk arbeid, og gi oss praktiske ferdigheter innen verktøy benyttet i den grafiske bransjen; bildebehandling, vektorgrafikk og fotografi.

I oppgaven skulle vi ta utgangspunkt i en selvvalgt tekst (sang, dikt, novelle eller lignende) og lage en illustrasjon til denne. Illustrasjonen skulle enten plasseres på et CD-cover, et bokomslag eller på en plakat.

Oppgavens mål var å benytte teknikker innen digital bildebe-handling til å få frem et originalt og nytt uttrykk.

CD-cover illustrasjon til sangen La Vigüela av Gotan Project.

Utformet i Adobe Illustrator og Adobe Photoshop.

La Vigüela

Here I begin to singin time with viguelaof a man who revealsan extraordinary sorrowlike a solitary birdconsoles himself with a song.

The holy saints are comingthey all come to help mewhen my tongue is tiedand my vision is troubledI beg my God to assist meand this time he helps.

Here I begin to singin time with viguelaof a man who revealsan extraordinary sorrowlike a solitary birdconsoles himself with a song.

Gotan Project, La Basta Records.

Obligatorisk oppgave 04

Obligatorisk oppgave 04 Layout skulle gi oss praktiske ferdi-gheter i verktøy benyttet i den grafiske bransjen; bildebehan-dling, sideombrekking, illustrasjon (vektorgrafikk) og fotografi. Bruk av typografi og farger i forskjellige trykksakproduksjoner. Bevisstgjøre oss om visuelle virkemidler og kommunikasjon gjennom trykte medier. Og gi oss kunnskap om tekniske stand-arder og produksjonsprosesser innen grafisk arbeid.

“Blunk” er et fiktivt magasin som inneholder artikler om den kreative bransjen i Norge; kunstnere, designere, illustratører, filmskapere, fotografer osv.

Oppgaven var å utarbeide logo, farger, bilder (illustrasjon/foto), samt å lage et reellt porttrettintervju med en utøvende kunstner. Deretter å lage layout av denne artikkelen.

Jeg intervjuet Karina Astrup som nylig har laget sin første egne dokumentarfilm om en underground rockegruppe som hun følger på turne i Europa og Australia.

Filmen heter “6FT Hick - Notes from the Underground” og skal vises på filmfestivaler i Brisbane, Australia og Os, i Norge i november 2010. I Os er filmen nominert til beste dokumentar.

Oppgaven er løst ved å fotografere med et Canon EOS 500D, redigere bildene i Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, bilde-behandling i Adobe Photoshop, logodesign i Adobe Illustrator og layout i Adobe Indesign.

Sept-Oct 2010

Karina AstrupProducer of

6FT Hick Notes from the Underground

Notes from down under

Karina Astrup has just pro-duced her fi rst indepen-dent documentary fi lm. In the fi lm she follows an underground rock band, “6FT HICK”, on tour 6000 kms across Europe and Australia.

Karina is born in Hamil-ton, New Zealand, but has lived the last 11 years in Brisbane, Australia. Re-cently she married and moved to Bekkastua in Norway.

How did it you get into making documentary fi lms?

- After working in advertising for four years I really wanted to leave it. I had discovered that what I enjoyed most was production. I enjoyed working on corporate videos and television com-mercials, more than websites, prints or animation.

-I thought about maybe going into fea-ture fi lms and started asking people about it, looked into the industry and found out that I wasn’t really interest-ed. All they were making locally were big blockbuster American fi lms that I often didn’t really like very much, and the hours are shitty. People are work-ing between ten and fi fteen hours a day and you have to completely sacrifi ce

yourself to the fi lm. I thought I don’t want to sacrifi ce myself to a fi lm that I don’t even like that much at the end of the day.

-What I enjoyed the most about corporate video and television was working with real people, not celebri-ties. I am not really very interested in celebrity culture. But I love everyday people stories, they are so interesting. I love stepping into other people’s worlds and lives. So I discovered that documentary was a natural thing to go for.

-My fi rst real documentary experience was working with Faramarz K-Rah-ber, a highly acclaimed and awarded documentary fi lmmaker. This was the Fairdinkum Manjit Documentary.

2

Being part of this documentary was their ticket back to Europe that year.

They are normally very private guys and because they are from the underground sub-culture, there is a real mythology about who they are. There is a lot of performance aspects and sometimes they look like they are killers or just generally really hor-rible men. It’s mostly show though, part of the overall experience. They were pretty concerned at fi rst letting a documentary crew come in to reveal them and had nightmares about us trying to make it into a Metallica style ‘some kind of monster’ documentary.

-We had to keep a certain level of respect, but they understood that they had to give us access as well. It was scary for them since anything can happen in the editing room. People can take small pieces of conversation out of context and paint a picture that isn’t true. It was very hard for them to totally trust us. I had been friends with two of the band members for nearly ten years, which was the other reason why they agreed to it. If I did not have a personal relationship, I do not think they would have agreed to it.

-I really love going to these heavy dirty rock gigs by myself. I love the energy they give out. It’s just so strong and so passionate, it smacks you in the face, it makes your pulse run fast, and it makes you energized.

-I often go away from these kind of gigs feeling pumped about life, and pumped with a feeling like “Yeah I’ve really got to get out there and do it, just gonna push my energy out, yeaah!” I like the fun, and I like that it’s not serious, that’s its pushing the boundaries and that you are stepping outside of boring mainstream land.

Hick: hillbilly, redneck

The fi lm is about an Indian man, a Sikh. He is an immigrant and a taxi driver. He loves living in Australia so much that he wrote a song about it called “Song Australia”, and he would always sing to the passengers in his taxi.

He recorded a CD, an album full of his own music and people would sit in his taxi and they would go “Oh, what’s this song?” and he would go “Ah, but that’s me, that’s me sing-ing!” And he would pull out this lami-nated song words and pass it on to them in the back seat, and he actually sold 3,000 albums to different people in his taxi!” (She is laughing a lot).

Tell me about your latest project; 6th Hick – Notes from the Underground.

- 6FT Hick: Notes from the Under-ground is my fi rst ever independent fi lm produced by my own company House of Gary. It was my concept and my contacts. I am the producer, so I carried this baby from start to end.

-There is only one funding grant and broadcast deal in Australia offered to people at the start of their career, where you can get your fi lm broadcast with limited experience behind you. It is a nationwide competition to get your concept accepted, so it is a very tough pitch process.

I teamed up with emerging direc-tor Marty Moynihan who was at a similar career stage to me. We put the proposal together, and we won! It was amazing, it is so hard to get in! My hands were shaking when I got the fi nal news “Oh, my God! I can’t believe we made it!” It’s just such a hard process.

-I received a budget of 1 million kro-ner and for that I had to produce a one hour documentary for ABC TV. Our budget paid for all the band members plane tickets, or else they could not afford to go. The Lead singer had been doing his masters in addiction studies, so they had not been doing as many paid gigs as usual that year.

“I often go away from these kinds of gigs feeling really pumped about life”

3

people that depended too much ontheir parents or brothers and sisters, and they couldn’t look after them-selves. I thought “I have to be able to look after myself”. I can’t let my fam-ily have to support me to be an artist, I have to stand on my own two feet. So that is what made me interested in the whole multimedia thing, and made me go down the path of advertising.

I was very fortunate that I got this amazing job at Bigfi sh advertising, which gave me all the skills that I could possibly need on the job, and fortunate enough to begin my fi lm career working with such great fi lm-makers as Faramarz K-Rahber and Axel Grigor.

In this fi eld, the only way to grow is to keep attaching yourself to more se-nior mentors, and so you keep trying work with people who know more

A selecion of photos from the 6th hick tour.

“In this fi eld, the only way to grow is to keep attach-ing yourself to more senior mentors, and people who know more than you, and learn as much as you can while you working for them.”

What is the best thing about having a creative profession?

-That I am never bored. I am al-ways feeling like I have purpose for myself. I have some friends that don’t have creative professions, sometimes they just get bored. I never get bored. I never think “Oh what should I do with my time today?” I always wake up feeling fi lled with purpose and reason and things to do, I feel excited. I think that what’s amazing is; you dream something up in your head and make it a reality. Whether you make it with your hands, or you take pic-ture, or you sell a concept to investors so you can build it in real life. The action of making a dream true, it feels so good!

-The sucky thing is that you are always short of money. That’s the down side of it. Being in art school sucks as much as it is massively fun. You spend so much money on fi lm and paint and canvas, you are always short of money for food, rent. It’s re-ally hard to survive fi nancially.

What kind of education do you have?

-I did one year at university of a bachelor of fi ne art and photography. I did not fi nish that because I was just so poor that I couldn’t stand it. Plus I decided that I couldn’t see how I could sustain myself, I saw lots of

than you, and learn as much as you can while you’re working for them.

You just moved to Norway. Will you be able to stay here and work or will you go back to Australia and New Zealand for working?

-It’s really exciting to be in Europe. I really want to break into the fi lm industry over here. I am hoping to become a link between Europe and Australia, and help creative business fl ow between the two worlds. That’s a goal.

I am also in the process of developing 2-3 projects with Australian teams, so in the next couple of years I see my-self go between the two worlds quite regularly. Maybe if a major thing gets commissioned, I might go back for 6 to 12 months, but at the end of the day I want to be mostly based in Norway, and stay here for a few years.

”6FT Hick – Notes from the Underground” will be shown at fi lm festivals in Os, Norway and Brisbane, Australia in No-vember this year.

Obligatorisk oppgave 05

Obligatorisk oppgave 05 Miniprosjekt Visuell identitet skulle gi oss kunnskap om å lage en visuell identitet, kunnskap om kom-munikasjonsprosesser og utforming av budskap.

Det var et gruppearbeid hvor vi skulle lage et DVD-cover og en plakat, samt en profilmanual for en tenkt filmatisering/animasjonsproduksjon av en valgfri tekst. Vi skulle lage både logo, illustrasjoner og layout, samt en profilmanual som beskriv-er bruken av disse elementene i den visuelle profilen.

Jeg samabeidet med to andre studenter på dette prosjektet, via e-post, blogg og Skype. Vi valgte å illustrere en engelsk versjon av H.C.Andersens “Prinsessen på erten”, kalt “The Real Princess”. Vi ønsket en ny vri, og valgte å lage en litt an-nerledes prinsesse, samt ungdom som målgruppe istedet for barn.

You cannot judge a book by its cover, they say.

In the same way you cannot see who is a princess from the outside appear-ance. A person who you would never imagine being a princess, could be exactly that!

This film is about a girl who did not look like a typical princess, but in spite all odds she passed the test and married the prince.

Maybe you also are a hidden princess, or maybe there is a princess just next to you? Take the pea test and you will know!

THE REAL PRINCESS

by: Hans Christian Anderson (1805-1875)The following story is reprinted from Stories from Hans Anderson. Hans Christian Anderson. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1911.

There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled right round the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had to come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly.

One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightened and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night.

In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself went to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess.

‘Well we shall soon see if that is true,’ thought the old Queen, but she said nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bedclothes off and laid a pea on the bedstead: then she took twenty mattresses and piled them on the top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on the top of the mattresses. This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the morning they asked her how she had slept.

‘Oh terribly badly!’ said the princess. ‘I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!’

They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real prin-cess could have such a delicate skin.

So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a real princess, and the pea was put into the Museum, where it may still be seen if no one has stolen it.

PROFILMANUAL

2

Om profilmanualen

Denne profilmanualen er laget i forbindelse med Vegetable Films og SSG Studio’s lansering av en

helt ny filmatisering av H.C. Andersens eventyr ”Prinsessen på erten”. Dette er en engelsk filmati-

sering med tittelen ”The Real Princess”.

Målgruppe og ønsket etterlatt inntrykk

Normalt er ofte H.C. Andersens historier myntet på barn. Denne filmen har en helt annen mål-

gruppe, nemlig ungdom. I stedet for en søt og vakker prinsesse, har vi en tøff og opprørsk

prinsesse med boots og piercinger. Filmen ønsker å fortelle at selv om man ikke ser ut som en

prinsesse, så kan man allikevel være en. Det er ikke smart å dømme etter det ytre utseendet, alle

og hvem som helst kan være en prinsesse.

Logo

Logoen finnes i to versjoner. Hovedversjonen på to linjer og en sekundær versjon på én linje.

Hovedlogoen skal alltid foretrekkes dersom det er teknisk mulig, og alltid i store formater.

Hovedlogoen kan brukes ned til størrelse 20 mm bred. Hovedlogoen brukes på grønn bakgrunn

som vist nedenfor. Den sekundære logoen skal brukes på mindre produksjoner og der hvor det

er nødvendig å ha logoen plassert på én enkelt linje. Den sekundære logoen kan plasseres på hvit

bakgrunn. Logoen skal ikke plasseres direkte på fotografier

Hovedlogo plassert på grønn bakgrunn

Sekundærlogo plassert på grønn bakgrunn

Sekundærlogo plassert på hvit bakgrunn

Typografi for trykk

Det er viktig at det brukes samme skrifttype overalt og på samme måte, for å opprettholde det

visuelle inntrykket man ønsker å skape. Hovedskrifttypen for The Real Princess er Lucida. Lucida

Bright, Lucida Demibold og Lucida Demibold Italic.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅ

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøåLucida Bright Regular

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅ

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøåLucida Bright Demibold

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅ

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøåLucida Demibold Italic

Retningslinjer for bruk av typografi

Skrifttypene må brukes på riktig måte i profileringen av The Real Princess. Her er noen ret-

ningslinjer for bruk av skriftene i trykksaker. Skriftstørrelsen i punkter skal tilpasses størrelsen

på dokumentet/trykksaken.

DVD-cover:

Skrift på baksidetekst og tekst inne i coveret:

Lucida Bright Regular, 9 punkt, svart.

Eksempel:

Skrift i navn øverst på forsiden, samt nederst på forsiden ”Vegetables Films”:

Lucida Bright Demibold, 12 punkt, svart, bokstavmellomrom 50, bokstavhøyde 200%

Eksempel:

You cannot judge a book by its cover, they say.

Skrift brukt i ”she did not look…” på forside og Things are not…” på bakside:

Lucida Bright Italic, 14 punkt, hvit.

Eksempel:

Filmplakat

Skrift i navn øverst på forsiden:

Lucida Bright Demibold, 70 punkt, svart, bokstavmellomrom 140 punkt, bokstavhøyde 200%,

bokstavbredde 80%.

Eksempel:

Skrift nederst på forsiden ”Vegetables Films”:

Lucida Bright Demibold, 43 punkt, svart, bokstavmellomrom 84 punkt, bokstavhøyde 200%, bok-

stavbredde 80%.

Eksempel:

Things are not always how they look...

Skrift brukt i ”Could you pass...” og “Watch the…” på bakside:

Lucida Bright Italic, 100 punkt, hvit. Med unntak av ordene “YOU” og “MOVIE”, som er satt i 120

punkt.

Eksempel:

Typografi for skjerm

Typografi på skjerm er forskjellig fra typografi for trykk. Dette skyldes behovet for å kunne

overføre elektroniske dokumenter uten skriftypeproblemer, og for å sikre at alle brukere av for

eksempel websidene har installert den samme skriften på sin maskin, og dermed ser det samme

visuelle uttykket som vi ønsker.

På websider og på Powerpoint er det viktig med skrifter som er gode for øyet og svært lesbare på

skjerm. All bruk av tekst på skjerm skal være i Verdana Regular/Bold.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøåVerdana Regular

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøåVerdana Bold

Farger

Filmen skal promoteres med materiale med ertegrønn bakgrunnsfarge, med unntak av mulige

svart-hvitt produkter. Dette er bakgrunn på DVD-cover og filmplakat, og skal brukes på alt annet

materiale i farger. Tekstfarger er svart for brødtekst og overskrifter, hvitt for uthevede sitater.

Farge C M Y K hex R G B

Grønn 53 % 15 % 85 % 1 % 8EAC46 142 172 70

Svart 0% 0% 0% 100% 000000 0 0 0

Hvit 0% 0% 0% 0% FFFFFF 255 255 255

Den normale skriftfargen er svart, men på grønn bakgrønn kan også hvit brukes. Tekst i Lucida

Demibold Italic skal som regel være i hvitt på grønn bakgrunn. Dersom den brukes på hvit bakg-

runn skal den være i grønn, slik som på overskriftene i dette dokumentet.

6

Bilder og illustrasjoner

Det skal kun brukes de vedlagte illustrasjonene. Hovedillustrasjonen skal alltid være med. Den

sekundære illustrasjonen kan brukes til bakside, mindre element, men alltid som et tillegg til

hovedillustrasjonen. Dersom det kun skal brukes én illustrasjon så skal det alltid være hovedil-

lustrasjonen.

I tillegg finnes et designelement, en krone som kan brukes der det er liten plass og behov for en

svært liten illustrasjon. Denne skal ellers også bevisst brukes i kombinasjon med hovedlogoen,

der disse står alene.

7

Plassering av logo og illustrajoner

Hovedillustrasjonen skal alltid plasseres i høyre kant og nedre hjørne, den sekundære illus-

trasjonen skal midtstilles der dette er mulig.

Designelementet (krona) kan plasseres etter behov, men der hvor den brukes alene sammen med

logoen skal den dreies 14,5 grader med klokka (til høyre).

Diverse læringsaktiviteter

I mellom alle de obligatoriske oppgavene som vi fikk karakter og evaluering på (som er presentert foran i denne mappen), holdt vi på med en del læringsaktiviteter.

Disse var nødvendig for å trene opp ferdighetene som vi skulle bruke når vi utførte de obligatoriske oppgavene. På de siste sidene av denne mappa presenterer jeg et lite utvalg av disse aktivitetene.

Til venstre: Læringsaktivitet hvor vi jobbet med å se lys og skygge. Tegnet med blyant, grafitt og kullstift.
