Business Card

Business Card
    I am planning on studying abroad next semester in Japan. It is customary in the Japanese culture to exchange "meishi cards, " which are essentially business cards. Below are 3 different variations of my meishi card as well as the sketches I drew beforehand. Each one includes a different color variation of the logo I had previously made. The front of the card is in Japanese and the back is in English. I wanted to give off a simplistic, but unique feel to my card. I am excited about the opportunity to exchange this meishi card and hope it inspires others to create their own business card!

Photoshop Animation Research

Video #1:     This video went over very simply for the animation in Photoshop. I really like how the video was short and to the point. It did not drag out unnecessary elements to animating. I think navigating the new animating window will be a little tricky initially, but eventually, I will get the hang of it. When I first used Photoshop, I thought the tools were tough to learn, but now I easily navigate the application. Video #2:     The person in this video went over how to keyframe an animation. I liked how a simple animation was used as an example. I think I will understand how to keyframe quickly, but I am worried that I will not understand how to manipulate a drawing as easily. How do I add expression and give my drawing personality? I hope those questions will be answered in class. I am looking forward to acquiring new photoshop skills. Video #3:     This video showed the entire process of taking an idea and turning it into an animation. I really lik...

Animation

Image
  Animation     Inspiration and encouragement are something everyone desires. With that in mind, I chose to create an encouraging animation. The GIF below starts off by showcasing clouds passing through the sky. The camera is then shifted upward to show stars passing. A UFO then swoops in on the screen only to quickly go back off the screen. I wanted the viewers to feel like they were up in the sky. The words "ou got this" then appear on the screen and then the letter "y" slides in front of the "ou". I originally had the text stating "ou got this" hoping the viewers would read it phonetically. If you say it phonetically it sounds like "We got this". This expresses the notion that no one is living this life alone. We can all lean on each other for help. Soon after, the words slide off the screen to reveal my tag brush and end credits. I hope this animation inspires others not only in everyday life but also in animation.

Photoshop Homework 1

 Photoshop Homework 1 Video 1: Pen Tool     The first video goes over the pen tool in Adobe Photoshop. I have experience using the pen tool in Photoshop and Illustrator, so I do not think it will be a challenge for me. This tool is very useful because it allows us to modify shapes into a desired shape. I really liked how the video is short, which allows the creator to explain the topics simply. The pen tool is very useful and important and I am glad I am learning more about it. Video 2: Brush Tool     Video 2 explains how to use the brush tool. I personally have used the brush tool quite a lot in my previous work. It has helped me add more personality and detail to my pieces. The brush tool has come pretty easy for me when working in Photoshop. I think that the brush tool makes adding details to your work simpler. I really like how the creator of this video covered not only the simple aspects of the brush tool but also the more complex aspects. The more you know...
