Sophie Gibson Media Year 2 Progression

 This website is a great tool to show potential employers or admission boards my work both inside and outside of college. They can navigate the website easily and see what kind of work I can produce as well as informing them of what software I can use (the name of the software used are posted along with the video/photo). It gives them an indication of my work styles and I believe it is a positive representation of some of my best work over the last two years. The post descriptions also explain what the project was for including whether it was for a real client or not and the purposes of each project.  Website link:  https://sophie97gibson.wixsite.com/website Navigating the website Home The first page you are presented with when visiting my website will be the 'home' page.

As well as this, inspirational wording is also included as it matches the uplifting power of the backing track.  One thing I did notice is that it is very focused on video projects and lacks in showing photoshop and sound design projects. Towards the end there is a short montage of some smaller projects but it is unclear as to whether they are print ads or moving image due to the time they appear on screen being around a second. This is something I will need to avoi...

This post contains my research, planning and construction of a business card. This is to be used with potential clients or anyone who may be interested in my work. I learned what to include, the layout and themes of a business card- for example the back and front should show similar colour scheme. This was then adapted into the creation of my own business card- to which is followed the theme of my existing logo. The only difference to my business card and professional ones was the inclusion of an address due to me not operating out of a company address.  Existing products:  Upon research of some existing business cards, I made sure to include most of the information that cropped up on them time and time again such as phone numbers and emails to contact. The only thing I wasn't able to include that was on most of the existing business cards, was the company address and this is purely because I don't function as a business but simply do my work at college or home- neither of whi...
