Ball Bounces

Ball Bounces

Overview


For this project, we had to make three different animations which all included a ball bouncing. One had to bounce up and down, one came from the side, and the third one had to have a surprise ending. Beforehand, we were taught how to make a frame animation on Photoshop, and then we were released to make these three animations.


How We Did It


For this project, we started off by making our background, and our ball. After we had done this, we used the command, option-drag to create multiple copies of our ball. Once we had done this, we moved all of the different balls to a specific area that would make it look like an animation in it's final form. We then started the actual animation, where we started off with our original ball, with all of the others hidden. Then we created a new frame, and hid our original ball, and showed the next copy. We repeated this process until we had gone through all of our frames. There were different things we had to add for the specific animations (such as up & down repeating itself, and the surprise ending). This entire process resulted in our final animations.


Conclusion


Overall, I think these animations were pretty successful, and I enjoyed learning how to make a frame animation. I do think that if I did this again, and spent a little more time on it, I could've made the animation look much cleaner, and less choppy. However, considering this is my first time making a frame animation on Adobe Photoshop, I am very happy with my final products and how everything went as a whole.

Typography Project

Typography Overview In this project, we were approached with the task of creating a project to show different terms of typography by using Adobe Illustrator. Before we started, we were given some basic knowledge about typography. This included different fonts, and parts of letters. We were then able to use some of our prior knowledge about Adobe Illustrator to create a name line to show our newfound knowledge. This project once again I believe was a very good stepping stone in my knowledge and I think it will be very useful in the future. What I learned For this project, we started off by writing our names and sizing it appropriately, and then making three lines to represent the general height of different parts of the letters. We then labeled different parts of our name with words and arrows. Once again, the command "Option-Drag" was very useful, as it helped us copy and paste our labels easily. After we had labeled at least ten parts of our name, we tweaked the l...

Movie Trailer Remake

Pre-Production For this project, we were assigned a specific movie about high school, and were told to remake the trailer. My group was assigned "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for our movie. I was pretty excited about this project to start with because I really like the movie I got, and I thought I got a good group. However, this project was certainly not an easy task, so we had a lot of work to do. We started off with all of our pre-production activities. This included story boarding, completing a beat sheet, and figuring out who to cast for each role. Our group decided to mainly cast from our own group to make scheduling a little easier. However, we still casted all of our adults, plus two of our main characters from outside our group. Before we started filming, we also figured out what we were going to do for locations, props, and costumes. Most of our group chipped in for some props or costumes, and we mainly decided the locations as a group. Once we had all of that...

CSS and CARP Design

Overview Before CARP & CSS styles. During this project, we were given a webpage with titles, a picture, links, and some other minor details. The page was very dull, and disorganized, so we had to redesign the page using CSS styles and CARP. All we had was the starting template, with about 11 separate tags included that were linked to certain parts of the page. These were where the only changes to our page took place. Here we changed the color of our background and text, as well as choosing different fonts, and changing the alignment. All of these changes may look very complex, and completely different from the original design, but they both have the same code, with only minor differences that help to make the page look a lot better. Contrast During this project we had to change the colors, and style of certain things in order to add contrast to our page. We were able to create contrast first by changing the colors of our background and fonts. We made them pretty much opp...
