My friend Shaun Wallace has set up a mobile recording business and he asked me to make him a website. It needed few pages and to look unique and fun!

I made him a ‘marvellous machine’ made out of musical instruments based on traditional travelling fair organs to keep the mobile theme and used bunting to show his name. I made a light background of rainbow colours focusing on the machine with a burst of brightness in the centre. Finally I used a ‘.pgn’ to mirror the machine as if standing on a glass floor, in an Apple store style. With Animation Shop 3 I edited the animation partials of the website such as the organ and amp lights. Below is a screenshot of the website, details, background and early renditions and stages of my design. See the site here: www.shaunwallace.com

This is an explanation of how I created this video.

First I took some film I shot of of ink in a water tank then using Brightness, levels and a chroma keyer I removed the grays from the background. Then I inverted the film and rotated it 180degrees. Finally I added a sparkling effect.

Project Faust #154

I thought I would point out what I do with the Project Faust videos and how I make them. With this video I had some film from Wales of the coast. I had the idea to make it look like a WW2 film scene.

I made the video black and white, edited on a WW2 war ship, then added some reflections in the water. Finally I made the original video very red, before the black and white, this makes the black and white film appear to be night time with black and white film.

Beth Walthew ‘Lovers & Liars’

Album design for Beth Walthew’s CD ‘Lovers & Liars’.

Having seen some of my work I was supplied with the three images of Beth and her musicians and given the text in a word document and told to do whatever I thought suited the artist’s style, what was wanted was a rustic feel. I used some images from old printers example book and photoshopped other images and scans to make most of the artwork. The CD tray has images behind a clear tray and a butterfly in the centre where the CD is placed.

The main album type is done with the Fontin Family. You can see the text on the CD took some time to do but worked out great! You can buy the CD here: www.bethwalthew.com

Ideas with Coke

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:02:00 +0000

I was playing out ideas for making an advert for Coca-Cola in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I started off recreating their brand wave and bottle but then moved on to using world flags to make an international identity for the company all based on the same theme.

Book Cover: The Soft Machine

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

The Soft Machine is the title of a novel by William S. Burroughs, first published in 1961. It was originally composed using the cut-up and fold-in techniques, this inspired my design on the cover. Taking a photo of Burroughs, cutting it up and shifting the edits around. I think it is as abstract as the original [right], but still communicates the name and title well.

Book Cover: Take a Girl Like You

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:51:00 +0000

Another book cover here. Like before I remade the text header in InDesign and created the image in Illustrator, this time also using Photoshop. I left the 3’6 off as on my version of the book it’s stamped on. The image is a variation of some prints I had made. My version is on the left, the original is on the right with 3 and 6.

Book Cover: How Children Fail

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 10:00:00 +0000

I took the book ‘How Children Fail’ and decided to rework the covers design. I created the original heading and typeset style to pelican books in Adobe InDesign then used Illustrator to make the images. I ended with two samples that I considered strong enough using images from wikipedia re-edited, working my own images into the designs. The Original cover is below in red.
