If I was to continue to develop my Brand identity further, I would;
I think for my first attempt the brand is of a high quality but with these changes it will make it more simple and visually more professional.

Show Outline
Here’s is my idea for my show timings
– Show intro monologue (who you are, what you’re going to talk about): 20 seconds
– Intro music jingle (if I was to make a sequence of shows I would repeat for each show so listeners identify the jingle with your show): 15 seconds
I want to create a pastiche jingle – this is a tune that sounds like another but is a way to get around copyright issue. I really need to find an upbeat, sporty and catchy tune which I could adapt. My first thoughts was to use Birdy wings. It’s catchy and inspiring to say the least.
– Topic 1 – Interview: 3.15
– Topic 2: Interlude (music or break): 10 seconds
– Topic 3: Interview: 3.15
– Closing remarks (thank audience, thank guests, and talk about the next show): 20 seconds
– Closing music jingle (suggest same as Intro music jingle): 20 seconds
This structure is a rough outline to what my pod-cast will actually be. It follows mandatory elements that we have to have in our piece and the timing or it runs approximately 8 mins long
Before starting my infographic I wanted to learn a technique that I had recently seen, it uses illustrator and photoshop with light work. I wanted to use this skill once I have had a practice as it is a transferable skill that looks impressive.
In Illustrator, i created letters using shapes. Once the letters where created and all looked fairly uniform, I then inserted the gradient colours and set it to black and white. The dark areas will blend into the background once in Photoshop.
When in Photoshop I created two different folders and inserted layers in each one. I renamed the folders one called background and the other text light. I set the background to black on a layer and moved on the text light layer, and started to use the pen tool to start picking points with in each letters.
Here I was using the path finder tool then clicked the centre point and clicked Alt and it deleted the anchor point then I could move on to the next point. This part of the process I struggled with as I was unsure how to delete the anchor points.
After, the is stage i then moved onto adding in directional light
In the image above, I used the select tool and made a rectangle shape filled it with white. Place them around my text. i placed a filter over the top of the rectangle shape called gaussian blur.
In the images above show the type with colours added in this makes it look shiny and adds much more depth. i added different yellows and oranges and used the burn tool to darker areas.
When developing my information graphic I needed to understand the key components that are associated with Paralympics. For instance,
these are just some of the key points I can think of, i will develop multiple information graphics to see which ones work and which ones not so much. The best one I will submitted. When coming up with the ideas i will try to showcase the key ingredients that makes up what we view as the Paralympic symbols and symbolic tones.
