Back to school?!

This week in graphic design we worked on getting back into the flow of things. We were instructed to make a pencil and a pencil holder by following step by step instructions.
It was really just using different shapes and tools on illustrator. We used different shapes like rectangles, triangles, rounded squares and circles. The overall idea of this was to make a simple pencil and pencil holder. 
Once we were finished with that we were instructed to make the pencil our own and add a little something to it. I decided to make my pencil purple. I made the middle part of the pencil a different shade to give it more of a 3-D affect. I added a "love letter" and a heart to add more of a story behind what the pencil was doing.
After we were finished with that we were told to create something with illustrator that wasn't a pencil.  After a little bit of thinking i decided to go with a book. I made two books. One is on it's side and the other is showing a front view of the book. I tried to make this little project more interesting by making it 3-D. 

If i was to do this project again i would make the pencil holder bigger, maybe add some more color to my books and add something other than a heart in my personal pencil. Overall from this project i learned how to make things more alive on the computer.

Hobbies Project

The hobbies I did my project over were Cheerleading, Dancing, Cats, YouTube (Troye Sivan), and Demi Lovato. I edited my video using Final cut pro. While using Final cut pro I figured out a bunch of things I didn’t know I could do, such as how to detach audio and delete it. I also learned how to make and edit a video.   The reason I chose cheerleading is because I did it for the past two years, and it’s been an interest of mine. The reason I chose dancing is because dancing has always been one of my hobbies but over the course of the past two year I’ve been taking it more seriously. The reason I chose cats is, come on, everyone loves cats. The reason I chose YouTube is because I’ve been making and watching videos since 2009. The reason I chose demi Lovato is because she is a strong independent woman figure. I hope you enjoy my video!

Animation; A man, A corn-dog, And A loss.

This video shows a happy man who swings, and dances but isn't content until he remembers the taste of the wonderful corn-dog. He decides to get a corn-dog but then someone took it from him! *gasp* follow tim the stick man in this crazy adventure and tale of love and loss. -In this project the main concept was to take nothing and make moving art into a store. We were also asked to use sound and effects to help make the image give an illusion that its moving. -Before we went to the computer we made a storyboard showing details about the story we wanted to tell. After that was done we went to keynote and made what we imagined on the computer. We then after went to iMovie and finished our projects adding sounds. We then after exported it and put it on blogger. -During this project i learned a lot about how animation is made and the different ways that its made. i also learned that its easier to duplicate the whole thing and move little pieces to make it flow. -In my next projec

6 shot sequence

The 6 shot sequence is a variety of shots that tell the viewer more about what the character is doing but in less frames. the 6 shots are: close up extra close up medium over the shoulder wide extra wide What I learned while making this project is that it is very hard to put videos together and make them flow. I also learned that is would have been more helpful to record longer videos so you can have a variety of footage to chose from. I also learned that its more beneficial to take the time to chose the right music to match the type of video. when  making my next project I will be sure to spend more time on the editing process and more time recording quality footage.
