dpletts Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I enjoy typography and particularly the ampersand, coming as it does in a variety of shapes. So I decided to make a slideshow about it, my first 'public' one. It is for PC only and lasts a tad over 5 minutes The zip file (Ampersand.zip, 19.5MB) can be downloaded here:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ktgcd0tyuhkThe emphasis is on artwork rather than photography, and most of the graphic material is sourced from the internet.Cheers,DavidP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpletts Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks, Ken, for the kind words. Sorry about the falling snow and roadmap - but I have done a single slide of rain, lightning and thunder - just 16 seconds!

LumenLux Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Like art itself - creative use of PTE expresses things "important" or "whimsical" from each of us. Well done. Your presentation reminds me, I have never liked an ampersand that looked more like a numeral "8" than what I thought an ampersand should look like!

jfa Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Great art-work David, a very enjoyable AV. Maybe just a tad too long but I still enjoyed it a lot. You must have spent quite a few hours working on it.For a first very well done looking forward to seeing more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpletts Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thank you, friends, for your kind comments and encouragement. The main reason for investing in P2E was to be able to add some visuals to the ambient music I make without having to embark on detailed animation. This is a challenge which I am looking forward to tackling. Creating 'artwork' is quite a lengthy business but I hope to give it a go - after all, being retired, I have plenty of time. I would also like to become more involved in taking photographs so that I can produce more traditional shows, but, maybe, with a surrealist influence.As for the length of a presentation, I wouldn't want to go much beyond 5 minutes. Perhaps 4 mins would be a better target?DavidP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
