Photo Manipulation Finished (battlefield scene)

2007-06-05T05:12:00.000-07:00

This was actually finished about a week and I submitted it to be put up in the class online gallery, but unfortunately it was one day too late. I'm happy with how this one came out. My inspiration, as always, is Final Fantasy XII with a little bit of 300.

My First Flash Movie Attempt

I'm still a little bit sloppy with the different modes and tools in flash. The main thing I used to make this was the motion guide and the motion tween tool -- even if it is approximately 1 minute long and it is a bit sloppy I still think it's a good first try.

Project 04 - Magazine Cover (week 5)

2007-05-01T09:31:00.000-07:00

Magazine Cover 1 of 3

This magazine cover was done in Adobe Indesign. It is a May 2007 edition of the US Playstation Magazine featuring a Spiderman 3 game artist interview. Everything except the spiderman 3 background image was done in Indesign. I will explain the process Tuesday (next week) during my project presentation.

The other 2 magazine covers will also be featured in the presentation -- one for Play magazine and the other for Nintendo Power (still deciding).

Snowman and Robot Attempt

After working with illustrator I have learned to work with point manipulation and working with vectors. Thanks to the first vector assignment in illustrator, I have been able to learn other software easily.

Most Engaged Moment?
The most engaged moment for me this week was when I was up doing my presentation. Even though I was nervous I still gained some experience for the next time I present a project.
Most Distanced Moment?
The most distanced moment was when we were going over the tutorial for Illustrator. It went by a little fast for me.
Most Affirming Moment?
The most affirming moment was when I finally got a chance to try out Illustrator and create something for myself. I picked it up pretty quickly and learned a lot, but I still have a long way to go.

Most engaged moment in class
My most engaged moment was when I got to do some photo manipulations with Photoshop. This was a newer version of Photoshop so I learned a few new things to try with this new version of it.
Most distanced moment in class
My most distanced moment would have to be at the beginning of class because I come to class still asleep.
Most affirming moment in class
My most affirming moment would be when I have completed an image manipulation that I really liked.

Most Engaged?
I feel most engaged when the difficult questions get answered and when I'm not the last one to figure things out.
Most Disconnected?
I feel most disconnected when I'm trying not to fall asleep. Early morning classes take a lot out of me. I think they have a pill for that, though. It's no problem.
Most Affirming?
When I learn something new.
