B1 Constructing a Profile: Business Card

 Business Cards:


One example of an effective business card design is the Aurora business card:



This business card's design is very effective because it features a stylish and clean Sans-serif font which connotes class and

elegance. This also helps to promote the company's artistic abilities very well which is fitting as the company specializes in

artwork and design. The backside of the card also features a bright, white background which provides a satisfying  contrast

to the font and foreground. 




Another example of an effective business card is the this business card by Daniela Gonçalves. This card features a sleek design

with the designer's logo printed on the back of the card. The simple black and white colour scheme although, not very

eye-catching nor vibrant is easy on the eyes and the recipient can be taken in by it's simplicity. 





This business card works extremely well because it uses the bright and striking colours of orange and blue. There are also few

brands that would risk using such vibrant colours in their branding, therefore this acts as a unique

appeal for them and makes the company stand out. The card also includes all of the necessary contact

information such as a phone number, an address and website URL, in order to be able to be reached by

any potential buyers. The brand's mesmerizing logo is also featured in the upper left hand corner as well

as on the back of the card. 


Designing a Business Card (AC3 TECHNICAL SKILL):


My First design draft:



While designing my card, I have had the idea to include my logo front and center, directly in the middle of the card. I want my

card to look simple but stylish in order to keep a more professional tone. I would also make sure to choose a sophisticated font

that signifies class.


This is my first Photoshop designed business card.



After creating this business card, I immediately asked for feedback using a google form. These were the responses.




After taking this feedback into consideration, I redesigned my business card and this was my final product.



I believe that my product looks very crisp and professional. 

This card was created in Adobe Photoshop and shows that technical skill has been used during the making of this business card. For example, the border of the business card was created by using the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool', then select, inverse, before using the paint bucket tool to click on the edges. (See below):


Rectangular Marquee Tool:

Inverse:



Select it with paint tool:



As for the logo on the card, this was created in Adobe Photoshop and then imported from there:



After this, I proceeded to add 3 different pieces of contact information using the 'Horizontal Type Tool' and also copied and pasted 3 different icons from Google Images to be placed next to them.






















Business Card (Back):



This is the backside of my business card and it reads "Aaron Law, high quality Editing" in order to advertise my editing

services. My business card's design is very simple.


Overall, I believe that my business card is very effective

B1 Job Opportunities in the Media Industry

 I am very interested in the film sector of the media industry. When it comes to the Film Industry, experience is valued very highly, even more so than grades. It is a very competitive industry and things such as film internships are very rare and difficult to obtain. One example of a job opportunity in the film industry is a 'Film Editor'. This is a very important role in the post-production process because this job requires the editor to piece together  camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects to produce a final film. In order to become a film editor, you will need to have collected a wide range of experiences with editing, mostly on smaller scale projects to build skill and get noticed.  Another example of  a job opportunity in the film industry is a lighting technician. In a film, good lighting is a crucial part of creating the right atmosphere and making sure that the visual quality is crisp and professional. The majority of lightnin...

B1 Mock Interviews

Mock Interviews: A Mock Interview is a practice interview/a simulation of a real interview. Mock Interviews are very important as they act as experience and help you to develop the skills that you require for real interviews. With the more practice you have, the more confidence you will have in real interview settings in the future.   Channel 4:  The client for my mock interview is Channel 4, therefore it was necessary for me to conduct research into this company in order to gain a better understanding of it. Channel 4 ,  founded November 2nd 1982, i s a British free-to-air public service television network.  Its headquarters are in London, with a National HQ in Leeds and creative hubs in Glasgow and Bristol.  Channel 4's target demographic are those between ages 16 and 34, appealing to all genders and ethnic backgrounds.

B1 Employment in industry

Research into the Film Industry: When looking at employment opportunities in media, I researched the film industry as this is the sector that I am most interested in.  The film industry or motion picture industry comprises the technological and commercial institutions of film-making, i.e., film production companies, film studios, cinematography, animation, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post production, film festivals, distribution and actors.  The oldest national film industry is Hollywood and is also perhaps the most well known across the world. However, the  first to present projected moving pictures to a paying audience were the Lumière brothers in  December 1895  in Paris, France. They used a device of their own making, 'the Cinématographe', which was a camera, a projector and a film printer all in one. I n 2020,  China  became the largest box office territory, overtaking North America in gross total. In addition to this...
