Music Studio

On thursday we had an introduction to the music studio, we all learnt how to connect microphones into a mixer and also how to wrap thw wire back up, when we had a go with the mixer i spoke into the microphone and my friend started twisting various dials that affected the high, mid, and low parts of my voice to change the way i sounded, he also used the digital effects and made my voice have a bassy echo, i thought that this lesson was good because it will help us produce music for if we eventually make a game trailer.

The Mixing Dial:

High: This made my voice sound alot higher than it was.

Mid: This changed my voice to a dull monotone voice

Low: This made my voice much lower and increased the bass in my voice.

Digital Effects: Various effects such as echoes, reverbs etc.

Team Logo


This is also the winning idea, this logo is being combined with Joe's ideas to make a sort of metal designed Hawk

These four pictures are Lewis's ideas, his team idea was "Affliction". He went with a tribal idea for his concepts as it looked interesting and suited his chosen name.


These are Rob Brigg's idea for the team logo, his team idea was Reckless Makers, he has used various ideas such as the two first letters bursting out of a brick wall.

These are the Team Leader Ivo's ideas, his team idea was "This Cant go well", he has included various images that show things going wrong.

This is our team fill chart . We used this to come up with 3 team ideas each. we then voted on the best idea on each persons line and then we started to create our logo's in Photoshop.

These are Joe Connel's original ideas for his team logo : Navigation,  Red Hawk Studios, and  Arcaic Fleet




This is Joe Connell's idea, this is the winning team logo, our team name is going
to be Red Hawk Studios

These are my concept ideas for my idea for the team logo, my idea was Diamond Spear.
This year we were all put into three teams, we were placed in these teams depending on what our skills were and what we needed to improve, i was placed into a team with five of my friends, and i was chosen because of my 3d Max and Adobe Photoshop skills. Then we had to, on an A3 piece of paper, each write down three ideas for a team name. My ideas were: To the Xtreme, Diamond Spear, and Team Snowmobile. After we had come up with team name ideas we had to each vote for the best team name for everyone in the group. My team name that got chosen was "Diamond Spear". So now our team name was chosen we were told to go onto photoshop and create our logo's, then afterwards we would again vote on which team logo was the best and that would then become our team name and logo. Our chosen team name is "Red Hawk Studio". I think this won because it was a good designed logo and it suits the gaming industry because it sounds like a games company name.
