Over the last few weeks BTEC Graphic Design Students have been looking at the branding, design and accessibility of Moodle. This week they have been focusing on the Logo itself and how the branding of Moodle and the college can be integrated.
Over the next week or 2 some of these will be showcased becoming the colleges Moodle logo for the day. Which are your favorites so far and why? Add a comment below.

I love studying art and design, because I do things that I love doing. We have made sock monkeys which was my best task, I had loads of fun doing that, when we made the sock monkey I learnt how to do different kinds of stitching. The other project I really enjoyed was our animation project and we put our videos on youtube. It was really fun finding out how things are done.

One of the units I think I did better than the rest. The unit was about animation and jobs I had to draw an animation 1.30mins long about an art and design job. To start with we experimented with different animation types.
I started of by drawing on to acetate with marker and scanning into Photoshop. I edited the drawing in Photoshop then imported them into Windows Movie Maker added a title and credits and then uploaded the animation to YouTube.
I liked this unit in many ways it got me being creative and independent making my own work

In art I have made many things for the project but my favourite task was making the sock monster/monkeys. I had to design a monster/monkey and make it, it was fun making. Making the body, arms, legs, and ears then stuffing it with cotton wool then sowing it together to make a monster/monkey. Making clothes for the sock monster/monkey was funny to make. This is the end result of this project.
The project "Connected images" I decided to go down the route of light painting and I really like work by Twin Cities Brightest (who creates images using slow shutter speed with a range of lights) and work by Dentsu London, this work used an IPAD to create 3D light appearing to hover in the picture like a holograph.
I tried lots of ways to make the images, like orthographic views of the side of each letter made on pro-desktop but the volume of letters was too much to work with.
I quickly moved on from this to the view from the front of the letter this work much better because the curves were smooth and they actually looked like letters. At this point I was testing light levels in rooms, playing with the depth of field and where to put the lettering on the picture. I strung all the images together on windows movie makes so that I could easily move from one letter on a MP4 to another without interruption after a few dozen attempts in several locations with different light levels I found some great images in the corner of my room which supplied a well lit area which was not too bright when the exposure was left open to make the photos.
