Okay, so this is still a work in progress but I have uploaded my interactive animation piece online. Note though that all the colour bubbles link to the blue animation, and after the whale exits the screen is where I am up to. Will upload more at a later date!!
You can see the animation at http://www.pandorataylor.co.uk/animation

Consideration for further development of Manifesto
Although I probably won't have the opportunity to progress this manifesto any further during this module, I have had some ideas as to how to progress it in future - if I have the time I will do this as a project outside the module as I feel it is a bit of a fun project. I would like to evolve it as a moving presentation so I can incorporate some additional content and show the idea building and developing. The project would have a voice over the top discussion my list of opportunities further.

Motion Graphics: The child in me loves...
Please find below my motion graphics piece - as I had to compress the movie its not the best quality and is a bit jumpy. I also had some technical problems with sound, so please imagine that it fades out smoothly rather than the abrupt stop that it currently comes to!
The part that mentions 'simplicity', I feel should be changed to 'simple things'. Unfortunately I no longer have CS4 to amend the file but as this is just a work in progress, I figured it would be alright as it.

Week 7: Defining your aims, Rob Kettell
This week we discussed in more detail manifestos and it could mean. It could be a rant, a statement of intent, it could be very broad or very personal. I need to consider my influences and reasons why I am influenced and the properties I want my work to have. In sum I need to create my own yardstick with which to measure myself by.
We watched a number of short videos by well known designers/artists. One that particularly stood out to me was Paula Scher and her concept of 'serious play'. The idea behind this is that truly great pieces of work come about through an almost childlike process and that seriousness and solemnity are two very different things. To be serious is to be earnest or thoughtful, whereas solumn work is the kind designers knock out ten to a dozen, stealing ideas from others, or working to a confined set of rules.
This spoke to me as I am aware most of what I do in my current employment is very solemn - I have design and brand guidelines to adhere to that are very rigid, but the designs I enjoy of others are usually lighthearted and fun.
From this I decided to build my motion piece around the idea of 'the child in me loves' in a similar style to my visual influence - Airside Creative Agency.
For next week Rob has asked for us to write a piece of text entitled 'Graphic Design that makes me happy' which we will decipher next week in class.

Week 6: Motion Graphics, Rob Ketterell
Unfortunately Jennifer was ill this week, but Rob talked us through our influences with us further.
It became clear through the class that I had perhaps been overthinking the content of the motion graphics piece. Ultimately we are trying to find out about ourselves through this module and the outcome for this motion graphics piece does not necessarily have to do with the manifesto. I just need to get on with it!!!

Contemplating my motion graphics piece
I really struggled getting my head around what to do my motion graphics piece on as I am still unsure of my manifesto.
Regarding my influences, my original list is very general - my favourite books and films are those because of the story rather than visual style. I don't feel I am very knowledgeable on art and have been more inspired by popular culture than anything else.
Some ideas I've had so far:

Some ideas I've had so far:
- George Orwell is one of my favourite writers, and his books tend to be quite political, moving and hard hitting. Would creating a propaganda style motion piece fulfill the brief? Or should I focus more on his style of writing rather than what he is writing about? This could be quite challenging!
- An album cover I particularly like the style of is Zero 7, When It Falls. The cover was designed by Blue Source (a creative group that doesn't exist anymore). Although quite contemporary, the cover looks like it has in part been influenced by a kind of 60s psychedelic style. Could I apply this style to my motion piece?

Week 5: Motion Graphics: Jennifer Leckey
The class was really interesting and we looked at a lot of pieces that were really inspiring, and very technically proficient.
Jennifer had thought that we'd had 3 flash workshops already (which we hadn't) so we were all left feeling unprepared. Add to this the fact that I'm still not entirely clear of my subject area means that this week has left me feeling pretty overwhelmed.
The project set for us this week was to create a 1 minute motion graphics piece that ideally has some relation to our manifesto (final outcome for the module) using some element from our influences. Quite a scary prospect!
