AS2-Task One:Ideas Generation

To be able to actually end up thinking and then designing the ident the process I went through was mind mapping. Down below is a mindmap that I created of potential theme ideas to explore how each theme can be used differently, and I chose to make the ident for the CBBC channel.

There were a lot of themes; the three themes I decided to go in depth on was space, numbers and nature. So for the space theme I was planning on doing it on planets that could be sleeping or awake, and they are involved in some form of science. So there could be experiments being performed by the Sun in broad daylight, to almost represent the Big Bang as the experiment will go wrong. Furthermore, the next ident that could have been created from the space theme is that an alien travels around planets to reach her destination to the CBBC halloween house, but is clumsy thus the sign is knocked off and focused on. Additionally, another theme that I thought of is nature and numbers where with the nature ident I could have conkers falling from a tree and are then rolling on the ground because of the wind, during autumn which spells out CBBC. Lastly, these themes are suitable for a children's TV channel because it is simple movement, friendly, the colours are vibrant, neutral towards gender as well as the fact that children are introduced to these themes at a young age. Therefore, they will be able to have an understanding and it will be educational but still in an entertaining way.
