PDF Problems

The brief states that the final image must be exported as a high quality PDF file. Adobe Illustrator supports this. 


Once I exported the image as a high quality PDF, I noticed issues with the image. The stroke around the F was smaller, the colours changed, and there is a very annoying line on the splash at the fishes tail. 


PH


I was confused when I saw these, as Illustrator was not showing this in the program, and when opening the AI file, neither of these problems are there. I then saved the image out as a JPG, and in this version none of the problems were present either. I'm not sure why this is occuring, as I have tried to save it out as a PDF many times, using the highest quality options, and it is still happening.

Image Final

Here's my final image. Time to export and save. 

Splish Splash

After Crit, I decided to add a splash. I traced around the splash in the original image, and then added gradients. When tracing the original, I had to remove some of the more detailed water drops, as it made the image too complicated, and when placed on the final image, this detail clashed with the simplicity of the rest of the image. Using lots of blues and whites, and the gradient/live selection tool I was able to create this effect. I'm happy with this work and it really adds to the final image. 

Let there be colour!

I coloured this in using a lot of gradients, live selection, and live painting. One of the main issues I had was that I didn't know how to use the gradient tool, and it took alot of getting used to. Once I had mastered the gradient tool, I found another awesome tool, the Live Selection tool. This allowed me to just click in the center of a closed path and it would be selected, ready for a gradient. This made putting the gradients in very fast. Another problem I ran into was the scales on the fish. As the paths were closed, the live selection would only select outside of them, and not inside. This meant that each little scale had its own start and end point of the gradient. To counter this, I selected a solid colour, and filled each scale manually. This was a little time consuming, as I had to get the colour as close to the outside as possible. Doing this had an advantage though, as the final result of blocked colours over the gradient brings a sense of texture and sort of makes the image "pop" I believe, which makes the image better. 

After playing with adding texture, I decided not to. For one, My skills in Illustrator aren't fantastic, and by trying to add texture I nearly destroyed the image, several times (I was using non destructive editing, so it would have been okay anyway). When I eventually did get a feeling of texture, It just didn't look right. Using the colours and gradient styles I did, a texture didn't blend well, and as I said before, I would have to texture the Facebook "F" aswell as all the text also. As of this, I have decided to leave my image untextured. This gives it a very modern feel, whilst still representing propaganda posters of the past. 

Editing "H"

Upon receiving feedback from the crit, I have decided to manipulate the text using outlines, rather then a whole new image. This means that the text is using the same font, whilst being edited to make it different.

I added the letter H to the slogan, and then created outlines of the text. This allowed me to use the white arrow tool to grab an anchor and move it. I repeated this on both sides of the "H". I did attempt to add points to the bottom aswell, but it made the H feel heavy. Also, when modifying the bottom is squished all of the text, sort of like a perspective drawing. I couldn't figure out why it done this, but luckily it looked better without the bottom points anyway. 

Crit

The image I submitted for crit was not completed so the feedback I got was limited, but very useful none the less. The image I submitted had all the text with the custom H, the hook, the fish, but very limited colour. I had flat colours on the image, but no gradients, so I could not get feedback on the colour.


However, I received positive and negative feedback for the image submitted. 


The positive feedback was that my idea was strong, and instantly recognisable. The image represented the WWII poster that I had chosen well and it was obvious. The layout and overall feel of the image was praised.


The negative feedback that was mentioned was for one, the lack of colour (due to incomplete image). It was commented that the custom 'H' I designed was too heavy, unnecessary, and quite frankly didn't fit. I shall experiment with other ways to create a 'different' letter without it being too distracting. It was also commented that my image had alot of empty space that needed filling. The fact that there was no splash, nor 'water trails' made the image look static and misplaced. This is a serious error that needs to be fixed. I shall fix this by adding trails and a splash, to give a sense of direction. 

Text

I implemented the text and added a curve effect to it, which has worked out quite successfully. I have left space next to the 'ooked' to add the custom drawn H which I wish to use. 

I have started creating the H in Illustrator ready to impliment. 

Development

Development and creation of the image is well underway! Fish has been implemented, along with with hook, and the Facebook 'F' attached to the hook as bait. I decided to use the logo as a 'bait' instead of a hook, as to create a hook I would have to manipulate the image in a number of ways (flip it, mirror it, change the end to a point) and it distorts the image too much. I chose to have the bottom of the F hanging over the grey block, to create an image that looks "whole", not just 3 separate images stitched together. 

Pitch

Today I pitched my design idea. Using a Keynote presentation I went through my research, design decisions, colour schemes, font, special characters and a final mock up. Overall crit from the group was positive, with good comments on my design choice and ideas. A few people raised concern about the upside-down 'F' being misleading, and questioned whether I would be using a texture or not.


I feel I have justified my choices well regarding my design choices, and will try and look at using the Facebook 'F' as bait instead of a hook. I am still undecided on texture at this moment. I shall give it a go in illustrator and see how it looks.

Design Ideas

Upon researching propaganda posters, the image that I would really like to recreate is the WWII "Don't be a sucker" poster.

http://vintagraph.com/picture/uwii-0047_500.jpg?pictureId=11248470&asGalleryImage=true

I particularly like this image as it's vibrant, bright, and somewhat comical.

After looking at the other propaganda posters, I want to create a real sense of opposition, so I plan to use social network giants Facebook and Twitter. I want it to be promoting Twitter whilst making Facebook look "bad". To achieve this, I plan to use the Facebook logo "F" as, or part of, the hook. By turning the F upside down and pointing the tip I may be able to make it a hook. However, there is a very high chance that the upside down F may look like the Twitter 'T'. If the idea of using the F as a hook doesn't work visually, I would like to make the F as bait on the image. I plan to use a similar font, and making an individual letter stand out (like the 'S' in "sucker") 

I would like to use a colour scheme similar to this image, so that it's recognisable. The colour scheme will consist of reds and yellows (body), blues and whites (water), and gray and black (text)

In regards to texture, you can see that this original has very textured gradients on the mouth, body, fin, and tail. Whilst I think this effect works in the original, it may prove hard to recreate. For one, there may be technical issues. My other concern is that by texturing the fish, the Facebook 'F' will look out of place, as it will be a solid, modern object. A way around this would be to texture the Facebook 'F', but this may make it not as familiar and it may lose impact and effect. 

Web 2.0

After looking at propaganda I decided to research into Web 2.0. 


Web 2.0 is essentially new web sites and applications that allow and facilitate user participation. This can be in the form of uploading videos and photos, to blogging. Main Web 2.0 services are Social Networking and Media Sharing.


Take a look at two of the largest Web 2.0 sites available at the moment. Facebook has over 800 million active users, 50% of which log on every day. 48 hours of video are uploaded to Youtube every minute (resulting in nearly 8 years worth of content a day!) with over 300 billion Youtube videos viewed every day. Web 2.0 services are popular.


Technically, Web 2.0 isn't a "brand-new internet", it's just a term used to describe the modernisation and technological advancements that are changing the internet. 


A few examples of Web 2.0 services, and their Web 1.0 "equivalent" that I thought of are listed below.

What is Propaganda?

Upon reading the brief, I decided to research what propaganda actually is. After browsing the internet and researching, I have come up with an understanding of what Propaganda is. 


In its simplest form, Propaganda is a form of communication. It's designed to influence an audiences attitude towards a certain cause or group. The way propaganda posters are designed are to usually make one side of an argument "look bad" and the other "look good". For example, showing one side crushing the opposition, or mocking the opposing side. As of this, most propaganda posters are biased. A neutral propaganda poster wouldn't really be propaganda at all, it would just be showing the reality of a situation. This would allow the audience to create a view or opinion of their own, which destroys the purpose of propaganda. 


Propaganda is also designed to evoke an emotion, rather than a rational response. If a poster makes the audience feel happy, sad, angry, excited, or even upset, it will have a stronger effect on the viewers. 


However, Propaganda is not always used to belittle a certain group. It is most popular for this but it can be used in other forms, such as persuading people to report incidents to the police, or to go and get tested at an STI clinic. 

Project: Propaganda

The brief for our new project is to create a poster promoting an aspect of Web 2.0 Social Media that can be printed at up to A1 size, and the design must be based on propaganda posters from a period of the twentieth century.


This is quite an interesting brief, as using an old photograph / image and adding a modern twist can generate odd and striking effects. I think this is because the styles, colours, and textures used are that of an older era, and implementing modern characteristics can create a juxtaposition between the old and new. 


After generating ideas, there will be a pitch to put forward the design ideas, characteristics and styles. Feedback from this pitch can be used to enhance the product.


Finally, after the product is created, there will be a group crit evaluating the final image. 

Modifying the jQuery and HTML

To make the panoramas work in the web page, I had to place the completed, reduced file size jpgs  into a web directory folder (root/images). I also had some premade HTML documents of the web pages, aswell as an index.


To link the image into the panorama, I had to open the web page in Textwrangler. I then had found the object that was the panorama window, and simple had to change the link from /images/test1.jpg to the name of the image (/images/panofinish.jpg) Once that had changed, I had to modify the length of the panorama. In the viewer object code, there was a height and width. The height was set to 400 (hence why my images were lowered to this height). The width was set to 0. To make the code work, I had to change the width value to the width of the image. To find this I found the jpg file > right click > get info. This showed me the dimensions of the image so I could change the code. I repeated this process for all four HTML pages. 


I also added a simple <div align="center"> tag, followed by a </div> just before the final </body> code to center everything.


Due to my images being different sizes, the speed changed between the four webpages. To fix this, I had a look at the jQuery code. The first thing I noticed is that jQuery is coded similar to CSS so was very easy to understand. The few variables down is "speed", set to a 5 digit number. After a little experimenting I discovered the higher the number = slower the image rotates. 


To change them for all 4 html files, I duplicated the jQuery file 4 times each with a different name (jquery1, jquery2 etc). Once these were created, I had to link each HTML to its own jQuery (otherwise they would all link to the same code, thus all having the same speed). This is done similar to how you link CSS to a webpage. In the header, there was coding that linked the webpage to the jQuery. I simply modified each of these on the four HTML pages to link to the relative jQuery. (html1 linked to jquery1, etc). This allowed me to have different speeds for my four panoramas. I played with the numbers alot until I achieved the perfect speed. The smaller the image width, the smaller the number needs to be. For example, my car panorama speed is around 15000, my restaurant speed is over 75000. 

Crit

After critting my panoramas the feedback was mixed. Many liked my theme, and my technical skills with photoshop. However, my flaws (which I have stated in this blog) were also pointed out. At this point in time I do not have alot of time to fix the problems at hand, as deadline is coming up fast. I have taken the feedback onboard however and will try my best to fix some of the problems.


My restaurant panorama received the best feedback, with the technical skills involved and the overall feel of the final image. The panorama of the car had comments of the height of the image, and that the image should have been taken in portrait to show more of the car. However, taking the image portrait would have been impossible as I do not have a center-pivoting tripod that supports portrait images. However, in argument to this, a few people liked the fact that it was at an angle in which you do not normally see a car, which made it more interesting. My first two panoramas only got commented on the flaws in the image editing, which I have already stated in this blog and how some of them are seemingly impossible to fix due to the shots taken. 

Saving the images - Resolution and File Size

I used a high resolution DSLR camera to shoot my images, which resulted in very large images and file sizes (average image: 3.4mb). In my shoots I took between 25 and 65 images. When importing these into photoshop, I realised that file size may be a problem. I was using a mac with only 1gb of RAM, which really slowed down the process. Once I imported all of the photos and merged them into one photoshop file, I was working with a (at the smallest) 1gb file. My restaurant panorama was a PSB of nearly 2gbs. These panoramas had around a 10 meter print length! (The restaurant one was around 25 meters!)


Working in such a high resolution really ate at the computers power, and simple tasks such as cropping took atleast 3-5 minutes (no joke). However, whilst not being the most efficient way of working, I chose to work at full resolution, so I had much higher quality images to work with.


Once I had finished the panoramas, I saved them as a PSB (which took around 7 minutes...) and then lowered the resolution.


By keeping the width and height relative, I lowered the height to 400, which in turn changed the width. I lowered the images to 400px high as this is the size of the panorama viewing window that we were given for the HTML delivery. This lowered the resolution by a fair amount, and also the file size. This process took a working file of around 1.5gbs to around 35mbs. Once the file size was lowered, it was alot smaller but still to large for web delivery. Using the "Save for Web & Devices" tool in Photoshop, I was able to save out the image as a JPG, bringing the file size to around 1.5mb. This is still large for major web delivery, but it retains a high enough quality so that the image is not distorted for maximum viewing capability. 

Final Panorama - Restaurant

Here is my completed panorama for my fourth entry. Overall, I feel this panorama was a complete success, with not many issues and problems with the shoot or the stitch. The overall effect is exactly what I wanted, a dark outside with a light inside, with a seemingly deserted restaurant. There was no colour shift due to artificial lighting (which, if I realised before my first 4 panoramas, it would have made it alot easier!) The panorama is very large, which also adds the sense of the scene being big. 


I feel like after finishing this panorama I have come a long way in technological photoshop knowledge and working with a camera and choosing a scene. Looking back on my first three, I feel this one shows how far I have come with my photoshop skills of stitching, and merging. I have also learnt how important choosing a location and scene is, and all of the variables that may effect a shoot and the final outcome of a panorama. 

The Shoot + Stitch

I have shot the images for my panorama and started to stitch them together. I took a total of 65 images for this panorama. I placed the camera at the top end of the restaurant, starting at a wall. I then moved around in a clockwise motion, which passed a close window. This window reflected the whole back of the restaurant which created a really nice reflection effect, and as the camera pans round the restaurant just goes further and further back. I think this shoot was very successful.


The stitching process wasn't that hard to be honest, but time consuming. Working with this many images, layers, and layer masks, was not a quick process. As I had so many images I could take out key points, and use that in the final. For example, this pillar here is made of 3 different images.

The windows, doors, curtains and tables have been really easy to stitch together, with not much problem. By using layer masks with different opacities of brushes, I have been able to stitch the whole panorama together. The only problem I faced was the wallpaper by the mirror, but to fix this I simply copied it, mirrored it, and pasted it. This isn't immediately obvious but when looking closely at the panorama you can notice the repeated pattern of the wallpaper (looks a little like a dragon face). I feel this fix was simple, and effective.

Location - Restaurant

For the fourth panorama in this series I have chosen to do my work, a restaurant. 


The restaurant itself is rather big, with 'sections' with the tables in. These sections are blocked off by wooden railing-type things, that extend high, so I will have to choose the location of my camera carefully. If I place the camera in the centre, alot of the restaurant will be blocked off. If I choose to take the image at the end of the restaurant, there would be a massive depth of field technical issue that may be difficult to overcome. As of the nature of the establishment I work in, I will not be able to shoot the panorama until the restaurant is closed and empty (around 10:30pm). This means that the lighting inside will all be artificial, which should make the stitching easier as (hopefully) there won't be a massive colour shift. The lines of the windows, curtains, tables, railings, doors, and bars, may prove this panorama to be very difficult to create. 

Final Panorama - Park and why I have not used it

Here is the final stitched image of my park panorama. I have decided not to use it as the colour shift is to great and, honestly, it just looks bad. The colour shift is huge, and this is visible over a few parts of the image. The bark chippings didn't really stitch well at all which also looks amateur. This panorama is a perfect example of why location can be a very difficult thing to choose. If the weather was different, or it was shot at a different time, maybe the colour shift wouldn't have been so bad. Maybe if I positioned the camera at a different angle it wouldn't have been so difficult to stitch the bark chips together. If I were to do this project again with more time I would make sure to reshoot and try to stitch the images together, using a different time, lighting, and weather. 

Park Stitching - Unfixable colour shift?

I have shot the images of the park and begun to stitch them together. By using layer masks and a bit of warping I've been able to merge the first ~35% relatively well. 

However, once moving around to the 40% - 60% mark a colour shift has taken place, and I've been using levels and curves to try and sort out the stitch, which is working, a little. The trees and grass were quite easy to stitch here however, which I thought would be difficult. The bark chips are a pain, and by stitching them in a curved line, instead of a vertical one, should make the stitch look less obvious. However, Once hitting around the 70% mark there is a crazy colour shift that, after using colour match, levels, curves, and brightness I have been able to reduce to the image below.

Compared to how it was beforehand, this isn't too bad (and that's saying something) but it's still bad enough to make the image look bad. 

Location - Park

Slightly branching away from "A day in the life" theme, I thought it might be a good idea to do a panorama of a park near me. This sort of fits the theme, as I usually take my younger cousins to this park on a regular basis, but I also wanted to try it due to the technical difficulties, to see if I could over come them.


Firstly, the park is surrounded by trees, and houses. Instantly posing a problem for panoramic stitching. Secondly, there is alot of grass and shredded bark, which may prove difficult to stitch effectively. Thirdly, The sky, lighting, and sun can cause a very large colour shift that (I'm sure) will be very difficult to overcome. 

Final Panorama - Car

My complete third panorama. I am overall pleased with this panorama. The image stitching looks somewhat professional, baring in mind that due to the nature of the shot this panorama could have been very difficult to stitch. However, I found the process rather easy, apart from the stitching of the view outside. The buildings look a little skewed, but this may be down to the angle of the window, refracting the image through it. I like how the whole image is in focus (apart from the back seat) which makes the image interesting as the angle it is viewed at is not an angle which is seen very often in a car. 

The shoot and stitching

After many tries, I managed to get the camera into the car by mounting the tripod between the gear stick and two front seats. I then (awkwardly) took the images inside the car. I took a total of 30 images for this panorama. 


Once uploaded, the overall stitching was actually very easy. By (once again) using layer masks, and overlapping 3 images at a time, I was able to create a panorama that didn't look to bad! By using manual focus I was able to use my own depth of field within the images, which made stitching easier, and also was able to make alot of the image in focus (Apart from the back). 


The building outside were difficult to stitch and make look real, with a few buildings being skewed. However, as the main focus point is inside the car, the outside isn't as obvious. 

Location - Car

For my third panorama I would like to create the panorama in my car, to add the third image to the theme of "a day in the life". As I have quite a small car, this instantly poses problems. One, The closeness of the dashboard, steering wheel, doors, and windows. Secondly, the scene outside the windows... Will it be in focus? Will there be a colour shift? Thirdly.. How am I going to get the camera on a steady tripod inside the car?! 

Final Panorama - Kitchen

This is the final image for my second panorama. I am overall displeased with the quality of the stitching and colour shifts. However, the colour shift around the window works well I think, compared to my previous panorama. However, the obvious stitches really let this panorama down. I did try very hard to create a good stitch, but with the resources and images I had it seems impossible (unless you are a person with a very good education and understanding of photoshop) 


Some of the stitching however, I think is done very well, and apart from the obvious stitching this panorama is about the same quality as my first. Hopefully with my next panorama I will be able to fix both colour shifts and stitching. 

Panorama 2 - Stitching Nightmare

After shooting the images, I have realised how difficult this will be to stitch. 

Firstly, obvious perspective shift.  This occurred as the counter is so close to the camera, and as the camera pans it creates a shift in perspective. If the counter was further away, this would not occur so obviously. 

Colour shift and perspective. This occurred as, once again, the object was very close to the camera lens, creating the shift in perspective. The colour shift was from the window being above this, making the camera exposure change and creating a darker picture. This is after I have used levels and curves to recreate the best colour possible. 

A pretty awful merging of a straight line, once again because of the object being so close to the camera. The tiles in the reflection are also distorted, aswell as a colour shift.

Vertical / Horizontal lines merging and colour shift. Another very difficult thing to achieve.

These images are after I have tried my best to merge the image, but in some cases a smooth stitch is seemingly impossible. 

Panorama 2 - Kitchen

After completing the bedroom panorama and realising that the colour shift of the light outside which effects the walls is going to be a struggle in this location. The blind design is the same and the lighting (unless taken at night, which will not fit the theme) is difficult and awkward. Also, there is a horizontal line going around 50% of the scene, aswell as another 25% having a tiled wall in it. This will pose many problems as I attempt to stitch the image together.


Another problem that may arise is the depth of view around the image, as one side has close objects, and the other has far away objects.

Complete Panorama

This is my final panorama after all the stitching. Overall, apart from the major obvious join at the blind, the overall image is okay. The stitching process was easy, apart from the colour shift. I didn't need to use any clipping masks to change brightness, contrast, saturation and such to create the final image. 


Once the final panorama was created, I exported it as a JPG and opened it in photoshop, in which I selected half of the image at a point of no interest, copied it and deleted it. I then switched the two images over and blended them in the middle. This means either end of the image should match perfectly and when viewed as a 360 panorama the join isn't and shouldn't be obvious. 

The Stitching Process

After importing the images into photoshop and merging them all into one, I have started stitching the image together. The main tool I am using for this process is layer masking, painting transparency and opacity over the overlaps of the image. 

As you can see from this image, every layer has a layer mask. By using different brush opacities, sizes and softness, it is possible to create a "blend" over certain surfaces. 

This image shows the colour shift between the two layers. This is the best I can get the colours to match (even though it's pretty bad) However, before this it was extremely different colours. I used the Colour Match tool (Image > Adjustments > Match Colour) and selected the previous layer to match the colours from. However, it has created this pixellated effect which makes the panorama look amateur. This is still the best I can get the colour shift to match. 

Location One!

First location of my panorama is my bedroom, a relatively small room with quite a few horizontal and vertical lines, which can pose a problem when creating a panorama. Using a tripod with my camera, and placing the camera in the middle of the room I have shot my images. 


I took around 25 images in a circle around the room, but the lighting around the window made the walls darker which may create a colour shift once the panorama starts to be stitched together. 

Initial Ideas

Upon reading the brief I decided that I wanted to go with the theme "a day in the life of". This allows different locations and lighting to be used and challenged, aswell as creating a story between the panoramas.  I am thinking of doing my first panorama will be of my bedroom, as a morning scene. The next shall be in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. My third shall be in my car, and the fourth shall be at my work, after the day is over. 


The bedroom and kitchen panoramas pose many horizontal and vertical line issues, aswell as a  window being present creating a colour shift problem. The panorama in my car I imagine will be very difficult as the scene is extremely close, with depth-of-field issues through the windows. I work in a restaurant, so doing a panorama there will create problems with the lighting, lines, and tables. 

Use of a Tripod

The use of a tripod when shooting the images is extremely vital. It's also vital that the tripod pivots from the centre of the camera. This is because when shooting the images, they need to be in a straight line, otherwise there will be a height shift. If there is a height shift, the images will not line up  without moving the images up or down, which leaves blank space underneath, whilst cropping off the top of the image. This means that the final crop of the image, when removing all white space, will make the image very small. It also makes it harder to stitch together. If the camera doesn't pivot from the centre, there will be a perspective shift that is very difficult to finally stitch together. 


By using a tripod that pivots from the centre, it instantly makes the images easier to stitch together, as well as making the shoot easier. If a tripod isn't used the quality of the final images will be extremely low. 

Panoramas - A history and a future.

A Panorama image is a wide angle image, created by taking a series of photographs and stitching them together in image editing software. 

A panorama of Beirut dating back to the 19th century.

Panoramas have been in use from the 17th century, becoming a popular way to represent landscapes and events. These early panoramas were painted, rather then photographed. In Europe, Painted Panoramas on a massive scale were created, for audience viewing. The paintings would be massive sizes, ranging from 14m high x 40m circumference (Hendrik Willem Mesdag, Panorama Mesdag) to the 'Racławice Panorama' which is 120m x 15m. 

A cylindrical projection panorama. 

Images from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panorama

Panoramic Photography, once mastered, became alot more popular than panoramic paintings. I imagine this is because panoramic photography is alot faster and widely-available. Digital photography of the late 20th century made this process even more easy and streamlined due to technological advancements. Panoramic Photography is widely used online and the technology is still advancing. 


Gigapan, a new technology being created and tested, is the revolutionary new panoramic technology. It is a high resolution camera mounted on a robotic arm. The user inputs data to set up the shot, and the camera takes alot of images (set up across a grid) extremely fast. The data is then downloaded and stitched together automatically in a program. The final image is a absolutely huge image that is a panorama. It can be zoomed in, very close, with no real loss of quality. Gigapan technology, I'm sure, is changing the way that panoramas are created. With this technology, no real manual input is required (apart from setting up the shot) and the final image can be breath taking. Examples of completed gigapans can be found at http://gigapan.org 

Project Panoramas

Our first assignment brief for the Digital Media Design FdA is to create at least two cylindrical panoramas for the web using a camera, Photoshop and then placed into a website using HTML/CSS/jQuery code. The photographs must be taken in two or more locations to make the images. 


It has been suggested, if it helps, to form a vague narrative or theme within and between the panoramas, such as chase or follow, scene of a crime, tourist guide, day in a life, or a sense of location. 


The images will be stitched and saved out as JPEG images and then brought into the HTML code for the cylindrical panoramic activity. 


Deadline - Tuesday 18th October.
