Project #6: POSTER

This was our last project in Adobe Illustrator, tying together all of the tools we have utilized thus far, especially the pen and gradient tools, along with the eyedropper, text, move, and a few others. The assignment was to recreate a vector poster, working in small sections to recreate as much detail as possible.
I had to work with the specific order of layers to make everything fit together without the white background showing through the final image. Using the eyedropper to get the exact colors from the poster I recreated, I pieced everything together, making the final image a duplicate of the poster itself while excluding some of the smaller details in the piece. My focus was the face and head rather than the body, wanting to make the hairs and ears look accurately duplicated to show that I can properly use the pen tool. My last step was to use the text tool, picking out fonts as close to those used on the original as possible in order to put the title up top.

Project #12: AUDIO

Building off of the previous project, we added audio to our stop motion animations with Garage Band. I wanted my audio to be upbeat and acoustic, giving off calming and peaceful vibes as my animation plays. The different loops I used pair well together, and with the water and glow from the sunset in the animation itself. I started with the ukulele base, followed by percussion to add depth and keep the listeners attention.

Project #7: AUTOSCOPY

Image
This was a fun experimental project in which we got to edit photographs in whatever way our hearts desired in order to get used to and learn about the PhotoShop editing tools. We did simple edits such as adjusting the color hues, saturation, and brightness. We also played with the filter gallery. Some photos ended up looking more like illustrations, but each and every one was unique, using different settings and adjustments in PhotoShop.

Project #11: ANIMATION

This goal of this project was to take about 60-90 individual pictures in such a way that creates a stop motion animation. By moving the camera slightly in between each frame, it creates the look of motion. My stop motion animation was simple, taken on UT's dock and showing off our view of the city. The movement comes from the water and my feet rather than the buildings themselves.
