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.

Music Video

Pre-Production For this project, we were separated into groups and were told we had to either recreate a real music video, or create our own from scratch. Our group decided we would recreate a music video for our project. For our song, we decided to go with "Bet on it" from High School Musical 2. In this video, the actor starts out a little troubled, and ends in a very confident and defiant mood. Our group wanted to help recreate this change of mood in our music video. To start the process of making this video, we had to complete our pre-production work. This was by far the most work we've had to do in pre-production for any of our videos. We had to make a beat sheet, which showed what was going on in each individual clip, as well as the length of the clips. We also had to storyboard, and show the mood of the music video in the beginning, middle, and end. Our group was very productive in pre-production, and finished as quick as we could so we could get right in to film...

Vector Portrait

Pre-Production To start out with this project, I had to choose a picture for me to vectorize. I don't take a lot of pictures, so I didn't have a lot of pictures to choose from. I eventually decided to crop myself out of a picture with my family and use that for my vectorized portrait. Once I imported this picture, I brought it in to Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, I used the posterize option to clearly separate the differences in color. This allowed me to make more specific shapes that would eventually make my portrait look a little more realistic. Then I imported this updated picture into Adobe Illustrator. When I started in Illustrator, I had to make two art boards. Both of the art boards would have my original picture on it. However, one of them would have a decreased opacity, and that picture would be the one I trace over to create my vector. The other picture was simply used for reference, and to grab colors for my vector. Production When I first started this project...

Graphic Design Second Semester Review

Projects Typography For this project, we had to come up with quotes and then make four unique typography designs using various colors and fonts. We completed this project over the span of about 1-2 weeks. This project was difficult for me because I tend to get stuck on the same idea often, so when I came up with one design, I struggled to create other unique and interesting layouts for my type. I also struggled to find good colors to use for some of my designs. This project really helped me to learn much more about the use of type/text in designs. I learned how to make fonts stand out by using different font types such as script and serif. I also became much more comfortable with the pen tool as I had to trace certain graphics. For this project, I often asked my peers what fonts or colors they preferred so that my designs could look even better. With my original designs, most of them were very similar and did not include very many graphics. So, in order to make my designs more in...
