Tutorial Based Work

Hello Everybody!!!!! This is the last assignment of the year! I had to use a tutorial to make a new piece of art. I made an animation in 3D and aftereffects. This was something done as a job for someone. The new things I learned how to do were using Wiggler to create a camera shake effect and using particles in aftereffects. Check it out now!

Art Deco

So I liked this assignment I was able to get it done pretty quickly. The goal was to create a Art Deco Poster. I love the look of the Great Gatsby cover so I tried to imitate it. I went with more of a steel color than the gold that you normally see with it to make it mine. I made it in illustrator using paths then expanding them and applying gradients. Really love how it turned out. Definitely going into my portfolio.



ROBS Home Improvement

This week I needed to make a logo and email newsletter for a company called ROBS Home Improvement. I used Adobe Illustrator to make the logo and Dreamweaver to make the newsletter. I really like how it turned out. The logo reminds me of old school tatoos and the newsletter is clean and professional. I liked this assignment because it was real world experience doing something for a client who had a specific goal in mind.

SLICE!!!

So this is assignment was to make a webpage old school. By old school I mean I designed the page in photoshop. Then I sliced it up and set those images as backgrounds in Dreamweaver. I thought it was fun. It was pretty simple and easy to follow. I like how my main page turned out. Anyways check it out!


Dance My Minions!

This assignment was to use the Card Dance effect in After Effects. I thought it was fun although it was a little frustrating getting things to do what I wanted them to. With more time I think this effect could be used to make some fun videos.


Wordpress

Hello Everybody! This week I made a website using wordpress. Overall I am a fan of hand coding/using Dreamweaver because of the freedom I have. I felt really confined using wordpress because it is template based and without paying you cannot customize most things. I am in the middle of the road as to whether or not I like the result, but I did like getting the exposure to wordpress in this assignment. To check out the full site Click Here

Thematic Text

This assignment was pretty fun and easy. The most time consuming part was deciding what text to do and actually doing the Photoshop work. I used Photoshop to make the images and then used Edge Animate to make the HTML 5 animation. I really like it because it is simple, but looks really cool.
