Adaptation & Professional Practice Part A - Potential Font Styles?

10 steps to becoming a morning person

I have searched for fonts that are related to morning consumable brands we all see on a regular basis. May it be in the cupboard, fridge or in a advertisement. I have included three fonts with their individual alphabetic fonts, to show which letters work more than some. I have also selected a few fonts in a short list that I also think could be adapted into my info graphic. All the fonts on here are free to download and loyalty free;

My favorite are:

• Before Breakfast
• Rum Raisin Regular
• Marmellata Jam

Adaptation & Professional Practice Part A - Tutorial Feedback Week 1

Feedback
After consulting with Alan on the results of my '10 steps to becoming a morning person' research and findings, I have progressed further into my development. Alan agreed that the list need alterations and re-phrasing here and there. He is a draft of that revised list of steps;

1. Go to sleep at the same time everyday
2. Start slowly (Alarm)
3. Expose yourself to natural light
4. Be hygienic
5. Eat a breakfast
6. Caffeine
7. No gadgetry
8. Listen to your favorite music
9. Persevere and be realistic (Composure)
10. JGU&FDI

Colours
Also for style we discussed the application of using breakfast cereal colours to create a consistent flow of 'morningness' in the audience. Each colour would represent the step perhaps, I shall be looking into cereal types and seeing if I can connect them to the steps.

So for example the colours for steps 2 and 3 could be light oranges to whites, because it is the rise of the morning, sun rise and would remind the audience breakfast could potentially also come near.

Fonts
Alan gave me the idea of using the fonts and colours in collaboration with one another, maybe even base the size and style of font on the shapes of the cereal I could be using. Or the other option would be to negate from this and choose a consistent font style that can be used throughout. But I must take into consideration the styles of the colour and animation usage or they wont integrate properly.

Next Step
From this point I must try to fit some colours and shapes of cereals into the steps, plan each step on screen whilst consulting with Alan. Finally the animation style needs to start developing in after effects with some playblasts of examples and the direction I want to take.

Please VOTE! - Adaptation & Professional Practice Part A

I need help making a decision on what to do for this project, I have chosen three ideas to be taken forward from the pitch feedback today. The aim is to create a 30 second to 2 minute animation to detail the steps to become (Blank). So the three ideas I have are;

1. 10 Steps to Becoming a Ninja
2. 10 Steps to Becoming a morning person
3. 10 Steps to Becoming a serial killer

Please comment on this post as I'm stuck for choice Ill be making a decision shortly.

Adaptation and Professional Practice Part A - Pitch Feedback

From the pitch for the adaptation project part A, I received positive feedback on quite a few of my ideas with nods and hints to what could be successful if conveyed across to the audience correctly. The ideas that stuck to the pitch audience were;

• A morning person
• A ninja
• A serial killer
• A wizard
• A healthier person
• A planet/star

Easy

A planet/star
Healthier person

In process of elimination I will try to single out the ideas I feel would be difficult to lengthen out 10 individual steps to produce the said theme. I think that the planet, star and healthier person have quite a variety of factual knowledge and statistics and I feel that they would be easy to detail 10 steps successfully.



Moderate

A wizard
A serial killer

The wizard and the serial killer ideas both have the potential to become great info graphics if done correctly and the tones suiting the themes that jive them up in a way that compliments them both. I can see the serial killer idea being quite comical if I presented it in a dark humorous way, for example the bodies being disposed of in a collage of different ways. has potential to be controversially dark but with a humorous undertone. The Wizard idea would reflect on learning incantations and brewing potions, it would be a fixed info graphic without relevance as the theme itself is absolute fiction.

 

 

Difficult

 

 

A morning person

A ninja

 

 

I feel that these two would be the most challenging of the six ideas I've taken time to reflect upon, again both have much potential but I don't know if I can stretch the steps out equally over the areas. As relevant as the morning person idea is to the audience, it needs to ring true with the majority of them. More research would be needed here in my own opinion, creating a questionnaire about the theme could help. A ninja on the other hand could be comical and also cliché as the trope is for a ninja to hide in the shadows and strike enemies with precision. They also reside in temples in the mountains somewhere. The danger is not evenly distributing the steps to a progressive climb, at the moment I'm restricted to about 6 steps on this before reaching the end.

 

 

 

The Verdict

 

I am drawn more to the ninja and the serial killer ideas, I know the strengths and weaknesses but there may still be some inclines on the way. I also see the promise of the 'morning person' theme and I think with the right research and progression, its the winner here for the time being but it being from the off, I want to keep my options open to the ninja and serial killer ideas also. I may look into research into these themes and then cross reference them to my own findings and ideas and make a more executive decision then.
