Final Thoughts

FIRST PROJECT VS LAST PROJECT  This class has helped me grow so much as an artist. Before taking this course I had no experience whatsoever with using adobe products to create art. I had never used photoshop, dreamweaver, indesign, or illustrator. Now, I can proudly say that I have nearly mastered them all. I have grown conceptually. This class helped to push me to my limits, my most creative. I have designed pieces in this class that I never would have imagined creating before, or even having the idea for.  I cannot begin to explain how proud I am of myself for what I've achieved throughout this class. If I had not been pushing myself this semester, I would not have won the Black Box best animation award, I would not have done my first paid art commission, and I would not have a fully completed art portfolio. This class has helped to expand my inspirations as well. I have found a deep passion within digital painting and animation and I have explored so many d...

Audio

AUDIO FOR VIDEO  For the audio to my animation, my boyfriend and I collaborated. We wanted something ambient with heavy synth and a slow build. I think overall the audio came together nicely. We also did some recordings of myself opening the door as well as walking around to give more overall depth to the animation.

Calligram

CALLIGRAM  We used the transcript of Emma Gonzolas' speech as well as the names of the victims of the Parkland shooting to create images of ourselves. Since this was my first illustrator assignment, I don't think I had enough familiarity with the program to do my best work. I would love to try the project again sometime to see how much I have improved since its completion.

Animation Project

-

WATCH ON YOUTUBE Out of all of the projects that we have had I put the most amount of work and time into the animation. It took about one hour to complete 20 frames, so ending with around 450 frames, I spent approximately 22 hours total on this project. I'm really proud of the amount of detail I put each scene. I find that animating is a really rewarding process.

A Place I've Never Been

-
Image
(Images very from 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% in quality)  For this project I looked for an image of myself that was already taken as I got a bit of a late start on it. I chose a photo that my friend Jay took of me earlier this semester. Since my friends always like to joke that I am the "instagram model" of the group when it comes to my selfies, I decided to place myself on a fashion runway as if I were a real model. I cut the original model out of the background image and filled in the space that was left using paint brush and stamp tool. Then I cut out the image of myself and color corrected it to match the rest of the photo. Lastly I added a shadow behind myself. I had a lot of fun with this project!

Recolored Photoshop Project

-
Image
For this project I was excited to be able to display my digital painting skills. For the original recolor, I wanted to make sure that none of the original image show through the recolored one. I would have to say that I spent between 5 and 6 hours on this piece alone.  Color Scheme One: Complementary Colors (orange and blue) Color Scheme Two: Monochromatic Red Color Scheme Three: Triad of green, blue, and orange Color Scheme Four: Primary Colors  I love the way that primary painting colors look together. It created a very vivid and artsy image.
