For our final project in e9, we had to come up with a product and product information including an animation, ad, coupon, web banner, website and a commercial. In my group, OAP, our product was scented socks. So, the obvious route for our commercial was going to be comedy. In our commercial we had basically a "good guy" and a "bad guy", and they both have socks. The good guy has OAP scented socks and the bad guy has nasty smelly socks. They both go around giving people their socks and then they meet and realize what the other one has. So then they begin to battle. And of course the OAP scented socks win.
For our animation and actual project, these are our socks. We actually had a lot of trouble making these because we couldn't get the shape we wanted and still make it look good. So at first i just started with a block. We then pushed aways the from so it resembles a sock (a very square sock). Next i rounded out the toe. Then i ended by rounding out the heel and the fold in the front.
For our web banner, i had this image just of something very simple. So, i thought : why not just circles? so i started out with just plain round circles and it didn't look anything like i wanted it too. So i deleted most of them. I then started to add some more but this time i made them different sizes and shapes and it look so much better!! then mrs. Lofquist suggested that i out some of the circles inside of the letters. It was so much harder than i thought it would have been. So we didn't actually end up filling the shapes, but we actually did circles around the shaped and then zoomed in all way in and made the circles small enough that it would fit behind the letters so it looked like we filled them in. Thats what i did to make our web banner.
For our animation we decided to make a box that would show off our project, but not draw too much attention to the box or the product itself. So we made a box with a clear front. This enables you too see the box and the product at the same time but you aren't drawn to either one more than the other. For the inside of the box, we decided to go with the color red because, even though our color scheme is green, our logo is red. So we wanted to make the inside of or box match our logo so we had something to match our logo. Also, red is a complimentary color to green, therefore, the two colors went very well together. For our setting, Mr. Sappingfield told us "I'm imagining giant pieces of fruit next to your socks!". So thats what we did. We decided to add some large pieces of fruit besides our sock to incorporate some of the scents it comes in. That was what we did in our animation rotation.
Also in our graphic design rotation we were required to make a coupon. Our coupon is good for $10 of of one pair of OAP Scented Socks. For this the only problem that had was getting the socks to have as much space on the sides and the text does on the there side. But once i figure it out i just put the text, logo and image on and i was done!
This year in e9 i learned to much and I'm so thankful for everyone that was able o help me through and teach me new things! Thank you for an amazing first year of e-Comm!!
