Brochure and Webpage














































We decided to stay with a very simple yet patriotic theme for our brochure and website. We thought too many outrageous colors would be distracting. Bristol is very nautical and patriotic so we decided to keep with the same theme. Our cover features the Bristol parade logo with a nautical start which can be found on almost every house in Bristol. Inside we inserted a picture of the parade route. We also added an events page and some history about our countries oldest running fourth of July parade. We also put in some scenic pictures of bristol and a sponors page because a lot of local and state wide sponsors are involved with the parade. We kept a similar theme with our home page. We wanted to keep it simple and easy to navigate because people from all over the region come to celebrate. We used the same colors and same fonts for the homepage as well.

Concert Poster























For this poster I decided to just use Dave Matthews instead of the whole band. As much as I would have liked to feature the entire band on the poster, it would have been to busy and distracting. I like how I used the picture as the background of the poster and was able to write over it. I played with the size and spacing of the text for the band name. I thought it mixed it up and didn't look so tradition. Even though it was hard I didn't center it either hoping to make it more edgy. I chose Washington as the location of the concert because The Gorge is one of DMB's most famous venue's. Here, fans camp out for three days all for their favorite band. The venue, dates, and times are the actual locations of the upcoming summer 2010 tour. The WAREHOUSE logo on the bottom right of the poster is the DMB fan membership site. The Warehouse allows fans to buy their tickets before anyone else. The poster features all the necessary information without being to busy or overwhelming .

Michael Buble

Michael Buble

I am really happy with the way this slide show came out. I decided to stick with mostly black and white with a little yellow as my color scheme. Michael Buble's music is classic as is he. He always preforms in a black suit. I also chose a classic font because it's not simple but it wasn't over the top. I took the yellow from his current album, Crazy Love. I kept the slide slow crisp and simple but it was still interesting. If I had more time and experience I would have made the music transition a little smoother. Overall, I am happy with the way it came out. I now know how to add music, transition one slide to another, and fade bullet points.

Animated Font Poem

Photobucket

I took my final font poem and was able to animate it. I chose to show the small words for .5 seconds and the dramatic and colorful words show for one second. I then made a collage for the end of the font poem. I chose to start with a sunrise because when its dark that's the first form of light we see. Throughout the night we always know the sun is going to rise which lives a lot of people hope. I chose to add in a fire dancer on the top left. The fire dancer is a universal logo for the Dave Matthews Band. A fire dancer is also something that is said to bring us light in the night. I also added fireworks and lamp posts which remind me of things that brighten up the sky when it is dark out. I faded the images to 65% so you could still see them and still see the sunrise in the background.
