Motivational Workshop - Action Jackson

Yesterday we had a workshop from a company called Fix Up UK. we had this guy talk to us about life and how your brain tells you that you can't do something, when in reality you can. He showed us this by putting up a big collage of pictures and images, he then read a story that related to the images, afterwards we all remembered all 24 of the images and it showed me that i can do it even if my brain says i can't. I think that Action Jackson was brilliant because he encoouraged us all to work much harder and that if we work hard enough we can acheive our dreams

The bottom four icons are the finished ones i have made by myself

our task was to create five icons based on the four themes- Horror, Fantasy, War, and Sci-fi and another one using a model we had made in 3d max. For my first icon i drew a rocket with smoke behind it, i edited it on photoshop and added a lichtenstein effect to the colour, for my second icon i drew a charatcer in manga and gave him a sword i also edited it in photoshop and added a gradient background of green and blue because these are colours that are used in fantasy. For my horror icon i drew a picture of a skull and a knife, i then added a blood effect to the knife and coloured the skull a bright white. For my sci-fi icon i drew a picture of a droid and changed it to avoid plagiarism,i then added a gradient effect to the background. For my last icon i simply imported a render of my robot i had made in 3d max i then cropped out the background and added a gradient background.

 This is a professional example of an iphone app icon. This icon is for the game angry birds, it was designed by rovio mobile, this icon is much better than mine because it is a much better quality and is professionally designed to suit the product, this porduct also relates to the game because in the game you start off using this red bird.
