Unit 64 Motion Graphics Evaluation For the first part of this unit; HA1 I had to define different types of motion graphics as well as giving examples of each type and explaining what they were to show that I understood the conventions for task 2 and 3. For HA2 I used illustrator to create images of sportsmen playing 4 different sports. By doing this I learnt the basic skills that I would need throughout the course, I found this difficult at first but soon felt confident at using the software. We then used illustrator to design a basic idea for a logo. Next we had to draw 20 different shapes that we could include in our logo which we then scanned onto the computer. For task 3 we had to take notes from the Salford sports academy client who came into our lesson and told us what they wanted for the new logo. We had to make sure that the logo had the words Sports Academy on it and there must be no specific sport targeted as the college are involved with many different sports. Task 4 was where I had to produce mood boards to see what other sports logos looked like and the types of fonts and colours used. This helped me a lot as I got lots of ideas from the logos. For task 5 I had to look at fonts that were available to me to decide what style of font I would use on my own logo. We had to produce our final logo for task 6 which I found quite easy because of all of the research that we had done in previous tasks. Task 7 was the task where I learnt how to use After Effects, we listened to a tutorial from a member of staff which taught us how to do some simple effects that looked professional, I found this easy which gave me confidence on the software.

Unit 64 Motion Graphics Evaluation

For the first part of this unit; HA1 I had to define different types of motion graphics as well as giving examples of each type and explaining what they were to show that I understood the conventions for task 2 and 3.

For HA2 I used illustrator to create images of sportsmen playing 4 different sports. By doing this I learnt the basic skills that I would need throughout the course, I found this difficult at first but soon felt confident at using the software. We then used illustrator to design a basic idea for a logo.

Next we had to draw 20 different shapes that we could include in our logo which we then scanned onto the computer. For task 3 we had to take notes from the Salford sports academy client who came into our lesson and told us what they wanted for the new logo. We had to make sure that the logo had the words Sports Academy on it and there must be no specific sport targeted as the college are involved with many different sports.

Task 4 was where I had to produce mood boards to see what other sports logos looked like and the types of fonts and colours used. This helped me a lot as I got lots of ideas from the logos.

For task 5 I had to look at fonts that were available to me to decide what style of font I would use on my own logo.

We had to produce our final logo for task 6 which I found quite easy because of all of the research that we had done in previous tasks.

Task 7 was the task where I learnt how to use After Effects, we listened to a tutorial from a member of staff which taught us how to do some simple effects that looked professional, I found this easy which gave me confidence on the software.

I had to create a story board for task 8 showing my plan for the moving Sports Academy animation that I would be doing in task 9.

The final task; task 9 was creating the final animation on after effects which I believe went well, my final animation was slightly different from the plan that I created on the mood board as my original idea was too short and not very complicated.
