Video Elevator Pitch

By admin April 5, 2017 August 29, 2018 0

The video I’m making as my final project is based on the words strong and cyclical, and it’s about animated ants turning into real rocks turning into piles of rocks, forever. It’s inspired by the tenacity of ants and the longevity of rocks, though I also drew inspiration from ant death spirals.

I apologize in advance if you were hoping to make sense of this.

I watched this TEDtalk for class, and it was an interesting look into the different ways people think about graphic design.

Letterforms in Illustrator

By admin March 20, 2017 August 29, 2018 0

It’s been a while since I last posted, but I should talk about what I worked on before spring break! Our assignment was essentially to invent a new letter of the alphabet, and then render it in Helvetica and Baskerville using Adobe Illustrator. Here are mine. I like how they ended up with regards to blending in with the rest of the alphabet, but I think I could tweak the capital form a little bit. …

Illustrator Finished Object

Mothman is here…. Also, I figured out what was wrong with the pattern tiling. I needed to choose “art optimized” instead of “type optimized” in the export options.

Working in Illustrator- Progress Post

By admin February 20, 2017 February 20, 2017 1

I’m new to vector programs in general, so working with Illustrator has been interesting. There’s definitely a wider range of things possible than I had expected, but it’s still weird how different everything is from photoshop. Case in point, this pattern I tried making earlier. I’m satisfied with how it looks in Illustrator, but when I export things containing it you can see the seams where it repeats, so I’ll need to figure out how …

Monster Party

By admin February 13, 2017 September 5, 2017 0

Here’s my final image! I like how this turned out for the most part, although I may go back and make the frame more realistic, I can’t decide. I may also add reflections to make the screen look more like glass, but I can’t decide how to go about that. I drew the monsters in from scratch, and the frame is a modified version of oneI created using “render frame” (Filter>Render>Picture Frame…), but the original images for the background and the sludge textures are under the cut.

combining images: progress post

I’ve been working on this photo of the observatory telescope room for a while. I think I’ve added all the monsters I’d like to add, as well as their shadows, but everything still needs texturing. I may also add some noise and a timestamp to make the picture look like it’s from a CCTV camera.

Update on My Organizational Process

By admin February 3, 2017 February 3, 2017 1

I know I said earlier that I’d get better about naming my layers, but I still forget to do it about half the time. Anyway, here’s some screencaps of one of the times I did remember. With thumbnails enabled, it’s still easy for me to tell what’s going on in each layer without looking at the names, but the names definitely come in handy if I want to disable the thumbnails to have a more compact …
