Today’s Plan:
- Slogan ideas?
- Branding Tools
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Premiere
Slogan Ideas
We’ve got:
- Core Matters
- Work Your Core
- Don’t Slack, Get LAC!
- Lib Art and Prosper
If you pay attention to Youtube videos, then you’ll see that they all begin with some kind of animated logo. Our goal today is to design a few options for our LAC project.
Let’s look at some MIT videos. Let’s look at UNC’s youtube channel.
What do we need?
- Some kind of title/splash/intro
- Some kind of name plate
Branding Tools
Let’s examine the UNCO brand tools.
Let’s select a logo.
The .pngs are supposed to be transparent. They aren’t. Let’s erase the background.
Adobe Photoshop
Setting up a new file:
- Preset: Film and Video
- Size: HD 720p
- Color: RGB for video
- Background: Transparent
We are going to want to add the Greeley Font to use in Photoshop.
Homework
Put some more time into our title/logo animation. Next week we will animate our photoshop files in After Effects (or Premiere). So, for Monday, have a .psd and .png file that can serve as a video introduction.
Remember that we are watching your Just One Thing advocacy videos next Friday!
