A Commercial and Poster for the company (Uganda Tourism Association)

Although it is a school project, I had to do it with passion. The previous week, we had learnt how to use Adobe Premire Pro which would assist us in video creation. It was a really interesting lesson that day, playing with sound and image. To produce a clear commercial for my company (Uganda Tourism Association) and a poster, I decided to download images on Uganda from google, i.e. every thing that is fascinating in Uganda, such as, the wildlife, the cultures, the nature and much more.
I also had to download some audio clips using a software called Ares 2.09.3030. I then downloaded jungle sounds such as birds, lions, etc and some African drums. Choosing the right sound for this video was kind of frustrating because I had to test all sounds before I chose the final one that gets my full attention, but in the end I liked what I had done. I also have to upload it to Youtube. This video is a taste of my motherland, and I am proud to be Ugandan.
But first, let's take a look at the poster I created using Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. Basically, I choose the colours of the Ugandan flag and one very interesting animal, the gorilla. I also had to include a logo for my company, which was also created using Adobe Photoshop CS2. Effects were added to make the poster more appealing and I choose to also make it A3 portrait. I love simplicity in design so the design for the poster is actually something simple, hence making it unique.The video is really fascinating!!

A GLIMPSE OF UGANDA'S NATURE

I can not get enough of the beautiful nature of Uganda. Hope this slideshow will inspire my blog viewers. SEE AND LOVE THE BEAUTY!!

Inspiration from Dr. Ken

After a whole week of illness and loss of my laptop, i went to class on 15th May, 2008, my lecturer for I.T and Multimedia, Dr. Ken, told me how he loves my blog but would appreciate if i wrote down my updates. I have actually already started another blog about my mother's boutique back home thinking that my blog was not all that, but Dr. Ken told me how interesting it is and that I should not quit but improve it.
And now when I look at my blog, I love it even the more.

Looking at my blog, am still not pleased and satisfied. My actual dream is to have the world love and treasure wildlife like how they long for rain in the desert. In Uganda, the wildlife is decraesing and that because of the poachers. If there was only a way to stop them and make them understand that animals too want to live. Try to put yourself in an elephant,s shoes and feel the pain when its killed, its tasks removed while its young watches.
I may be doing this blog to get some excellence in class, but deep down I am doing this topic with enthusiasm and hope to change the way people treat the nature already us.

WHY TOURISM

As a child, I had always had this crazy passion for creatures and watching over them. Seeing a goat being slaughtered would bring me to tears. I still remember picking a stray kitten from a bush near school and taking it home. I got home all excited to show my mum what i had found, but she screamed saying its not a kitten, its a young of a tiger(cub). She then got rid of it that night without my knowledge. I was very upset when i found out.
I began to have dreams that it would grow into a tiger and come back to me!!
