Story Animation Project

 For my Story Board animation, I couldn't finish it because I spent all my time on the keyframes instead of the animation. I did try really hard on trying to make it look nice, but I didn't get to finish the animation, unfortunately.

The Story

I was planning on animating the teddy bear as a toy come to life. The bear wanted to get out of the house he was in to see what the outside was like. The meadow shown was going to be what the outside of the window looked like. I had originally put the bear's limbs in different layers to animate him from the side, but the side view of the bear didn't look as good as the 3/4 view. 

The Process

The bear and the meadow were both drawn outside of photoshop with a bamboo wacom drawing tablet. The animation process, of what little I got done, was done in Adobe After Effects. I used the puppet pin tool for animating a walk cycle.

Cats Vs Dogs Infographic

For this project I made an infographic about cats and dogs. I am very passionate about both cats and dogs so I decided to make my project about them both. The layout was fairly simple, as all i did was make circles and put text in them. The dog and cat graphics in the middle were made using the vector pen tool. My information was fairly easy to get as well, the links are at the bottom of the infographic. The graph was also really easy to make as it was a simple design. For the colors I chose a palette that would appeal to the younger audience, such as millennial as I think that category of people would be most interested in my infographic.

Raccoon Project

In this project, I made a raccoon in Adobe Illustrator.  I then added in handwritten text and some acorns to make a postcard. The project itself was pretty simple, all I really had to do was make shapes and use a lot of anchor points. 

Landscape Man Challenge

I learned more about how to use photoshop and the tools that we use in it. The main tools i used are the Content Aware fill tool, the Patch tool, the clone stamp and healing brush, and the spot healing brush. my favorite skill is the spot healing brush because it's simple and effective. My strength is blending and my weakness is removing parts from clothing. I would take out the loose strings on the tuxedo and I like the clouds as the hair I just wish it would blend better. I liked this project because it included creativity and let me do my own thing.

e-Communication Reflection

I learned many things in e-Comm. I learned a lot about Collaboration, time management, and how to work certain technologies. I learned that web design is really hard and working photoshop is also hard to work with. Working with others is more difficult than I thought it would be. I also got a lot of late projects so I learned that I should get them in on time.

I learnt it by making lots of mistakes. I basically screwed up lots of things and learnt how to make it better. I also learned by practice and just playing around with the technology.

It is important because I am an INFP. I am normally introverted so talking with people and collaborating helps. Also I want get a degree in animation and visual arts so any practice helps.

My greatest strengths  are graphic design and animation. You can tell by my blog posts for it, like my logo and multiple of my animation projects. My weaknesses are using the apps we use for graphic design and animation. I’ve improved by learning more techniques for each strand and how to make it better. Also web design was not my forte.

I am going to take what I learned to an art college. I want to major in animation mainly so I will practice it and apply it to get in. Same with graphic design, I also think a visual arts major would be nice.

I would change some of my earlier projects. I would make the animations flow better and also make my colors in my design projects better. I also would change some of the storylines in my videos.

I think this year has been helpful in deciding what strands I want to go into. Also it has helped to see what I’m doing in the future when choosing strands. Basically I will go into graphic design and animation and hope to learn more.

Boomerang Ball- Final Project

Our team name is Slayer and our product is the Boomerang Ball. What we did best together was be able to come up with conclusions and our worst was getting stuff done on time. Next time I'll make sure to have better time management. I would make our website better, but we don't have time or else it would have been better. I have improved by being better at Graphic design and animation, along with video. I haven't improved much in web design. I helped with the website- I wrote the info for it, I made the logo and the animation.
