When I was brainstorming for ideas I was looking for ideas that had a little bit of flair while also trying to demonstrate all the skills I had learned in Image Manipulation lectures and labs. I’ll include a brainstorming sketch from my notebook below. When It came down to the idea I wanted to move forward with I sketched some thumbnail sketches and test shots. I will also include them here. This is my concept board. When it came to primary and secondary research I had the fortune of having in my possession all of which I required in terms of props and lighting set-up tools, so the cost was low, and it also enabled m to take all my own photos to lean more into the primary research end of research like what would I be able to accomplish with these props and other tools. The project thesis: I plan to take pictures of Pokémon cards or any other equally iconic trading cards and then use the background, image manipulation and a bit of creativity to make them jump to life enlisting in ...

The company I will be representing is a company I have enjoyed the products of for more than a decade now, a company steeped in history and digital entertainment. I will represent Nintendo and the product I will be advertising is the Nintendo Switch console released 2017. I have chosen this product as currently not only is it a product I use on a day-to-day business making me fully aware of all its angles and exterior looks/functions, but I also can use this product to demonstrate the ability of removing the shine from the glass of the screen, a new image manipulation technique I learned recently. As for the target audience, its children of course! Any child of the age group 8-12 and any adolescent teenager from 12-16. Of course, the switch has other audiences above these ages, but these are my primary target audience. I would expect to see this advertisement as a banner of slides on auto-play on your typical website reminiscent of the banner style advertisements one might see from CEX...

  Fabrizio Cestari- Born in 1979 the natural born professional photographer got his start early in life at 13 after beginning to take notice of the career his father had. A classic passion over profession individual, his work has garnered him international awards in Europe and the USA with his specialised conceptual portraits style. Erik Johansson- Here is a photographer that not only has all my attention but also appeared on the very notes in which we were taught what advertisement and commercial photographers are. Based in Sweden, Erik is a personal and commission-based photographer using his projects as a means in which to capture ideas and news perspectives and insights into how our world can be moulded, rather than capture moments. With the help of his trusted camera and a little old program called photoshop he has the goal to make his ideas look as realistic as possible even in unrealistic situations. Tim Tadder- Recognised as one of the top influential photographers in 2015 ...

  Success/Failures: Success: The photo was a lot of fun to take, it was enjoyable and funny to work with the very very very spare rations I had to make it work... Failures: Initially I believed shooting in 1800 ISO would give the right balance between light and dark I needed and while I'm not wrong, it was quite accurate, in the stressful and hard to maintain environment I never got the chance to try any other ISO shots.  My reliance on family members to hold props and such was useful however even after cropping in camera raw it seems there's no way I can remove them from the picture (haha yikes). While I had four light sources to use, three of which were in accurate phone torch's and one was a heavy to hold lamp. The argument could be said the lamp on the left that isn't turned on could have been used but its inclusion was strictly prop based and the light would not have reflected the originals lighting. Not much space to work... as such there is narrowly any negative ...
