This project wasn't meant to be posted on the my blog, I was meant to email it to my college tutor Tuesday but every time I have tried to email since Tuesday for some reason the email hasn't sent.
Information to be used with the images
The
Drinkaware logo will have to be used in order to promote the drink responsibly
campaign. There
are 3 different logos to choose from and there are four
different design for to the 2 of the logos. I
have a guide to the logos and the
positing of the logos which will be featured in the sketchbook.
Examples of
the logos:
Also I have
to add the Hardy’s wine logo. The Hardy’s wine logo is below:
I might add
the information that has been taken from the website about the wines.
White, Stamp
Sauvignon Blanc Semillion.
“Our Stamp
Sauvignon Blanc Semillion is a light and with lifted citrus and tropical fruit
flavours, delicate herbaceous character, and clean, crisp finish. The perfect
partner for seafood dishes.”
Red, Stamp
Shiraz Cabernet.
“Our Stamp
Shiraz Cabernet is a medium bodied wine, rich in mulberry, cherry and plum
flavours, with subtle spiced oak characters and a juicy finish. Perfect with
lamb, beef and mushroom based dishes.”
Rose, Stamp
Shiraz Rose.
“Our Stamp
Shiraz Rose is a light and luscious wine packed full of strawberry and
raspberry fruit flavours complemented by a crisp, refreshing finish. Delicious
with cheese or antipasto.”
Evaluation
of the Photo Shoot
Because I haven’t been to class for a few weeks I have
missed out on a lot of information including the information that I need the
final images for the interim date. So the 5 hour photo shoot I done on Sunday 8th
February was a waste of time and effort. Because my place of work has just come
short staffed and they are idiots meant that I had to work 50.5 hours and do my
final images in one week (I know that work is not an excuse but they are
expecting too much from a student).
For the photo shoot I needed various props. As it is the
week before payday I am a little low on funds. I went to 4 different super
markets to get the various props. The list of props are listed below:
- · A wicker basket/hamper which I borrowed from my sister.
From Sainsbury’s:
- · Stamp Sauvignon Blanc Semillion.
From Tesco’s:
- · Stamp Shiraz Cabernet
- ·
Stamp Shiraz Ros
- · Small animal bedding hay/straw
- · Plums
- · Cherries
- · Orange
- · Lemons
- · Limes
- · Bananas
- · Raspberries
From Asda:
- · Mango
- · Strawberries
- · Sprats (small fish)
- · Pineapple
- · Mushrooms
- · Blackberries
From Morrison’s:
- · Goats Cheese
- · Wensleydale with Cranberries
Because work didn’t give me the whole day off Sunday 15th
February I had a 6 hours to do the photos. I originally I had 2 ideas. My first
idea was a proper location shoot which the props would be a chair, little
table, a book, a wine glass, the bottle of wine and a blanket. Normally this
would be an indoor scene but I wanted an outlook location which can be
portrayed by the book. Due to the time frame I decided to leave this idea after
I packed my car with all of the props in the morning.
My second idea was a country style look. I looked at the
research on the wines and I thought that buying the fruits and surrounding the
bottle buy the fruits and straw/hay would give it a country style look. This
idea took about 2-3 hours to do and I did occur some issues.
The main issues that I did encounter some issues during the
day of the shoot.
1.
I had to work 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours
in the evening.
2.
I couldn’t get all the props I needed in one day
I had to buy the fruits and foods over the course of 3 days in which time some
of the fruits started to go dodgy.
3.
I had to buy fish which I don’t like.
4.
Due to funds I had to get mushrooms to go with
the red wine instead of lamb or beef.
5.
I couldn’t find mulberries anywhere but when I
googled I thought that they looked like blackberries so I brought blackberries
as a substitute.
6.
I forgot the cheese to go with the Ros wine so I had to schedule another time to do
the photos for the ros
wine.
wine so I had to schedule another time to do
the photos for the roswine.
I did occur some technical issues as well. Technical issues
are listed below:
1.
Photoshop. After I finished work on the night of
the shoot I decided to do the contact sheets so it was something that I didn’t
have worry about later on. After I completed all of my contact sheets I was
unable to save them so I printed straight from Photoshop. On Tuesday 17th
February I tried to do all the contact sheets again and now Photoshop has an
issue with the contact sheet function and it will not produce a contact sheet
at all. I do have printed copies of the contact sheets but I cannot send them
to my tutor.
2.
Microsoft Word. When doing documents showing
some of the images which I will be using as my final images word would not
insert any more pictures on a document like the white wine one. So I will have
to send a separate document showing some of my final images and not all of
them.
I may also take some studio photos of the wines to put in
the photos so the wine stands out even more but I don’t have the lighting to do
that at home so I will have to wait until I go back to college to see if they
will allow me to take fully closed alcohol onto the premises. Also the images
that I have used for the final images will have to be edited a lot more then
what I have already done.
The idea that I have worked on probably seem like the
simplest one out of the two however this idea was tricky because of how you are
arranging all of the fruits and foods and straw around the wine. I did also
have an assistant to help me with the arrangements.
