Survey monkey

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N8Z2DZL 

What type of research did you do? The information I gathered using survey monkey was primary research on how to do my 'film' poster.

What type of information did you gather? I gathered quantitative information because I find it easier to use and put into a graph, and analyse 

Who was your target audience?, Why? My target audience is PG (I posted the survey onto a Facebook group which had an age variety from 11-20 on it) and people who like mysteries and codes. I chose this audience because I feel like there are some people who like mysteries and solving puzzles like codes and over things like that.

How could this information help improve your poster?

This information could help me improve my poster because it told me what people thought of the idea and what they knew about the codes I was using and how I should display the hints on the poster.

Below give a summary of your results: (remember if you have ten responses that means each answer is worth 10% of your overall feedback.)

The first question of what do you think of codes and secrets in games. The majority of the people(71.43%)  like codes and secrets.

The second question was if they had heard of the codes specified. some people heard the ceaser cipher and some heard of all of them but the majority(57.14%) hadn't heard of any of them.

The third question was do you like hidden secrets(85.71%) liked hidden secrets.

The fourth question was do you like solving puzzles (71.43%)like solving puzzles

The fifth question was have you heard of the all seeing eye (71.43%) had heard of it.

The last question was what do you think to a double sided poster  (71.43%) people liked the idea.

Look at your results, what do they say? The results showed that my poster should have hidden secrets, puzzles, the all seeing eye, and that it should be a double sided poster 

How will you present this information?: I will present the results I got on my survey by putting the results on my blogger and will also present it on a power point.

Final project step by step

Angel

Devil

final project step 1: I got the drawing of the devil I got and put it in the left corner.

final project step 2: I added the angel drawing into the right corner so it was on the opposing side of the devil.

final project step 3: I then added an all seeing eye because it was mysterious.

final project side 1 step 1: This is the first side of the poster that is coded. I added the title in code (Ceaser Cipher) with the hint decipher the code. I use the font Black arrow from dafont.

final project side 1 step 2: I then added the first law of equivalent exchange in the A1Z26 code.

final project side 1 step 3: I then added a bit a a phrase from the show gravity falls in the Atbash code.  

final project side 1 completed  I then made different layers and randomly colored them grey and blue and white.

final project side 2 completed Side two went through the same processes of side 1 but everything that is coded is decoded and in English.

Fonts I could use

I decided to use Black Arrow because of how it looked jagged and different then usual

Step by step devil

I first started off by taking the sketch I did in my sketch book and scanning it onto the computer so I could go over it. I then put the image I scanned onto Photo shop and hooked my graphics tablet up so I could go over the outline of the sketch and to make it easier so its felt like I was still drawing on paper. I created different layers for each part i drew over for example in the first step the tail is on a different layer then the body.

Step 1: I drew the body and the tail with the flame at the end.

Step 2: I then went onto to add on the facial details and the horns on the body.

Step 3: I added one of the wings and the details on it to make it look like the wings where creased.

Step 4: The other wing and its detail.

Step 5: I changed the opacity of the brush so I could make the wing look grunge.

Step 6: After the doing the grunge bit and then over it with a red so it was darker, I then did a lighter red for the center of the interior bit of the wing so it showed depth, the same with the other wing but the outer layer is a bit lighter then the other wings outer layer. Added a bit of red to the flame of the tail .

Step 7 Finished tail flame.

Step 8:Colored the tail in.

 Step 9: added the color for the horns on the body and wings, and for the teeth, I also added in grey between the gaps in the mouth so it look like a dark void.

 Complete/step 10: I colored the body in and made the eyes a distinct color from the rest of the body

Step by step Angel

I first started off by taking the sketch I did in my sketch book and scanning it onto the computer so I could go over it. I then put the image I scanned onto Photo shop and hooked my graphics tablet up so I could go over the outline of the sketch and to make it easier so its felt like I was still drawing on paper. I also made different layers for each part for example the halo, is on a separate layer then one wing which is on a different layer form the other wing

Step 1: I drew around the outline of one of the wings, the halo, the body and some of the facial features. 

Step 2: I finished the facial features and did the outline for the other wing.

 Step 3 I then went onto add the details to the wings by adding the feathers which I used the idea of broken glass shards to look like the feathers. I made the outline for the feathers lighter then the outline because i didn't want them to look to similar and merge, and not look like the wing was curved.


 Step 4: Colored the halo in a gold yellow with lighter yellow to show a shine.

Step 5: I changed the opacity of the brush so it wasn't a solid color and you could still see the outline of  the feathers and made the paint grey. after doing this I colored over the wings which allowed you to still see the outline, I went over over bits of the wing so it looked darker and would show depth and more detail.

Step 6: Colored the eyes with a blue that stands out and is bright so it was the part of the image that stood out the most.

Proposal

I have decided on doing a visual media piece of a poster for a made up film, The poster will be using the themes good and evil, Mystery  and Codes. The reason I choose these themes is because they all go well together. I originally planned to use only good and evil as a theme but over the holidays while i was planning the work out so i had an idea I watched a show called Gravity Falls a show heavily based on mystery and got the fans included with cracking codes hidden about the show, silly and serious hitting to what could happen in the show, I liked the idea of this and thought it would be good to hide things in the poster and make the title of the 'film' a code which has to be cracked with hints and other codes scatterd about some obvious and some faded and hard to see.

I will be using a scanner to scan the work from my sketch book onto the computer, I'll then put the scanned images onto Photoshop I will be  then going over the outlines so it will stand out, I will be using my graphics tablet to help go over the outlines and color the image.

I want my work to have the all seeing eye in the center with an angel to the right, and the devil to the left. The title will be in the top center, the title will be in the ceaser cipher  which will look like gibberish to most (the hint to decoding the title will be the subtitle which says decipher the code and near the title the words ceaser cipher will be hidden and faded. The title of the 'film' is Decoded (ABZLABA in the code form) There will be other codes hidden about with the keys to solving them hidden about as well  

(rough sketch below)

Images  that helped 

Codes that have helped the world 
The enigma machineRosetta stone 

I might do a survey monkey to get some results I'm not sure yet. The audience research will be based on teens who like mystery and films maybe even graphics. I will also do research on hidden secrets and mysteries in posters for anything like films or games.

I will present my final piece as a power point showing the step by step for the process of making the poster. and showing how to solve the code.

Research

Internet research.


Codes are important to the world  it has helped find info on many times it has helped us win a war and understand the hieroglyphs of Egypt.
The enigma machine an machines the Nazis used to send codes of there plans back and forth between each other. The English intercepted the sub and took the machine while blowing the sub up to look like it was sunk in battle giving an advantage to us winning the.

The Rosetta Stone a pillar that had the decoder for the hieroglyphs.

Gravity Falls own mystery in real life the creators hid a Bill Cipher statue some where hidden since the show has finished (and the fans are out trying to find it (the show has been over for 3 months and nothing has been found)

Racks there brain trying to come up with a clever of well thought out concept, or visually striking.

started working for Pearl Jam, He was surrounded by posters by the Ames Bros had done for the company over the years.

The reason I chose this is because of the eye in the center. the eye is also part of the pattern.

Remarks: making posters can serve as multiple things, like big business cards, for more jobs, some bigger and better. 

I like this because of everything coming of the eye with all the unique patterns, There also hidden eyes.
