How to Vote! Washington State style.

I learned how to make interactive slides with Google Slides. I also used this program to make my online portfolio slideshows. The problem is that it would have been way easier if Google was not shutting down Picasa. Screw you, Google.

Popbook: 2D images transformed into moving on a 3D Plane

I learned how to use 3D camera controls in AfterEffects, and its a pretty cool trick to learn. I learned about manipulating objects within a 3D plane and that's pretty cool.

In any case, I'm glad this class is almost over.

Four pages of wordpress

I learned how to install Wordpress on my DotEasy hosted site. Besides that I had a part-time job running a wordpress site and so I pretty much knew how to run a content management system backwards and forwards. So that's neat.

Zoetrope

Zoetropes are kinda cool. This was a pain in the ass to make. Very finicky, and I probably should have used less frames for the animation, cuz I feel the slats are too wide. All in all it took multiple hours to get something I don't like that much, but now I know how to do it.

I made the assets in illustrator, edited it in AfterEffects, then published it via Premiere. Moseltov.

Who wants to play cards?

 
Heres a whole bunch of card backs for a game. I made everything in Illustrator. I guess I learned a little bit how to work within the template guidelines. The game sounds kinda fun. I'd rather play board games though.

Vector Shapes do animation stuff

Not a huge fan of this assignment. Just threw in some effects, played around with them in Adobe Aftereffects, finished the whole thing off in Premiere Pro, the whole thing was a dull couple hours.

I learned where a couple of the vector animation settings were in After Effects

I drew some wiggly lines in the shape of my favorite alien robot

Anybody love Iron Giant?

I love Iron Giant. Iron is the best. Animation is the best.

In any case, I used my Intuos Wacom tablet. This was probably one of the longest time's I'ves spent on one composition. It would look much better with some of the fills I made, but thats against the assignment rules so OH WELL.

In any case, this was an Illustrator job. I made the paths, then micro-managed the width profiles of each line. It was a massive process of trial and error. But I love it, because I love Iron Giant. I got much more practiced with my pad.

Screw the haters.
