A spot of packaging?

When it comes to the packaging... I want to keep it simple, just like my animation.

I started off looking at the typical packaging dvds come in. It started from a simple plastic wallet type package, to a well constructed, more hands on approach.

I really like the idea of simplicity. A nicely crafted ''box'' containing a dvd with a simple description on the front would work for me. I feel this would work well with my concept.

I then began thinking what kind of typography packaging is available. A more technical, computerized look would work well.

Sound?

I've been thinking about what sound/music to use with my animation.

I don't want something too upbeat, but then nothing too depressing.

I've been thinking something along the lines of mystical and spiritual would fit nicely, so I typed them into Spotify. I've now got a few songs I'm going to apply to my animations to see which fits best.

I could only find one of the songs on youtube.

The video's really quite nice, and it uses techniques I wish to apply to my work.

The other songs I have found;

Kula Shaker - Mystical Machine Gun

Twinset - Mysical Soul

Mystical Sun - Halo

The Bongo Man - Mystical

Gwen Guthrie... - Mystical Dreamer

Clothes labels

I really like how the words work with each other. It's almost as if they've been locked together.

These two pieces were attached together on a piece of clothing.

The simplicity is what I like about the tag below. It's clean, clear and simple.

Showertime research

Just a few snaps I thought I'd take seen as these wonderful products have pretty swirly patterns on.
I like how the patterns on the Herbal Essences bottle are individual. They're all the same pattern and style, however they've been rotated and placed next to eachother. They kinda look as though they've been quickly knocked up as the curves aren't equal and perfect. It looks good.

As bad a photo as this is, I thought it'd still be worth while me including it.
The flowers are a good idea seen as I'm using vines in my animation. Using flowers though, may be a bit too much, as I've already been using other vectorised drawings as well as the vine.

I went out last night and spotted this lovely little flyer, laying on its lonesome, scared... so I rescued it. :)

I may use some of these designs in my work.

I watched 'Enchanted' the other day, and the end credits used the techniques I will be using. It used camera angles, zooming in and out, panning left and right... etc.

I thought it'd be a good(ish) example of the kind of thing I want to do, although the typography would be animated rather than just static.

Some light inspiration

I love how simple this video is. It's constant zooming in as if everything passes you is really inspirational. I may have to use this idea in my work.

Along the same lines..

I've been trying to find some good examples of typographic animation. I came across this which is incredibly inspirational. It's more or less exactly the same idea I had when I first started this brief. Although I have a new idea, this isn't my final one, so I could still do something along the same lines as this.

I really like how a different effect takes place to different words.

I took screen grabs up to 1 minute for this video I found on youtube.

I cut each frame up and made them into a flip book, just like the one I made for my storyboard the other day.

Three Square Design

www.threesquaredesign.247media.org

I found this website whilst browsing through the internet at typography. It's got some pretty amazing work on there.

I love how the designer has used the text in various angles. It makes it look so much more visually appealing.

This is gorgeous. It looks precious and sensitive. I like how the stems carefully branch off from the letter.
