videos
This piece of work was highly experimental and was suppose to build a computer and a mouse, although with this piece I learned all about key frames and how if they were not evaluated and used right, they would stab you in the back. A steady flow was not what this piece had, it was to slow at the start and rushed towards the end.
With this piece of work I wanted to create a video that was built up of clicks, almost like a pacman biting away, My 3 colours were gold, black and white, these colours made an interesting and very complimenting combination together. I believe this video is my strongest out of the 4 and my best attempt at a Ident for after effects, I believe it really states the word CLICK.
I incorporated my typeface of mouses with this one, again I wanted it to look jaggard rather than smooth running, I made the mouses work abit like a chain which looked interesting on the final product. However I think if it was smoother it may roll a lot better.
This idea was again experimenting with a stock frame motion attempt of things, I do not think that it was successful but it really opened my eyes on how to use aftereffects and what the pros and cons are of using such materials.

Mouse movement and storyboarding
With taking everything into consideration with the exploration into the word click, I decided to think about a lot of the common movement we make with a mouse and came up with some of the following movements which I could then use in my storyboarding.
This storyboard consists of a lot of mouse movement but in a more rellative way the movement of the arrow makes on the screen when the mouse gets caught on the bottom of the mouse mat.
The next few storyboards again represent the movement and stamina of a mouse, in different situations in every day life.
This movement is based on the click of a button, the letter basically carrys out the process of a button when it is typed, squashed down and raised up in a short but sudden movement.
This piece was a big experiment to test my skills on after effects and was used to make rigid movements of zooming like when you click on the magnigying glass and it increases the page by 25% the main trick was when it got to a bold screen when it changed colours and made a different cross over.

click type
After experimenting with the mous type I thought about other things which were used in representing the word click, electronicly. It was when I thought about combinding a existing typeface with an arrow such as the one used on a computer screen which allows you to navigate and select/click things to your desire. I chose to use the typeface 'ALBA' because it is very curvey and displays different mouse movements very well, in comparrison to a sans serif typeface or a really rigid mathmatical and angled type face. This one was smooth and fun, just how i wanted the tyeface to turn out
Mouse type
Throughout the productive thinking on the word click, I decided I wanted to make something that was relevant to the word, through a fancy type as designing type wasn't my strongest of points. I decided to make a type based up of different hand movements when holding a mouse. Here are a few examples of letters being made with my hands .
After I had documented the letters by my hands being curved into different positions I drew out an idea of what I wanted my typeface to look like. Then I used the pen tool on illustrator to bold out the letters.
