Week 10: Radio Final Draft

Craft

This time around, I redid the "buildings." Instead of drawing squares and leaving them transparent, I decided to draw them opaque. I used the rectagle tool and drew perfect retangles this time for crispness. All other details were also drawn in via the retangle tool, the elipse tool, and the line tool. The lines that formed various speakers on the radios were aligned with the align tool after a single line was copied for congruent lengths. The concentric circles for the speakers were relatively done the same way by varying sizes and then aligning them horizontally and verticly. For the most part the speakers made up of elipses and lines were copied and resized and recolored to be reused for other radios for the sake of efficiency. The instruments were drawn in with the rectangle tool and the line tool. The rocket ship was resized to be larger. In addtion, it had the radio station's frequency added on as insignia through the text tool. Some of the smoke was cropped out and some of the outlines were removed to compensate for the larger rocket. The giant speaker was also drawn in with the pen tool this time. The background gradient recieved a third color was was altered somewhat.

Concept

The concept this time was to draw attraction to the detail of the skyline as was originally intened and to make the rocket more noticable. The concept that represents "the escape from ordinary radio" here is a rocket ship, representing the escape, blasting off, leaving the ordinary radios making up a skyline, and tren traveling to extradordinary radio made up of giant speakers with soundwaves in space. This takes two things that are typically known to be ordinary and extraordinary and illustrates them as radio. The skyline made up of the old radios is the everyday, whereas the planet, made up of a giant speaker with soundwaves, to look like a planet with rings is the out of this world.

Composition

The detail of the building draws the viewer's attention first. The rocket is much more visable and it now has information to let you know what it is. The background has black added in to convey that this is a space scene and it helps to show off the rocket better. The first thing noticed is the skyline becasue it is cluttered with detail. The rocket then draws the eye up into the space scene. It reads from the ordinary to escape to extraordinary.
