Pebbles

This was a fun assignment. Edge Animate is a new motion graphics tool for the web from Adobe.  We used Photoshop to create a word, Pebbles, and filled it with what the word is. Edge Anuimate has what is called a clipping mask that allows you to hide and show what you want with the click of a button. I have found that Edge Animate is very user friendly I likedit and like how "pebbles" turned out.

Drive Fast and Swerve

We learned how to use a game engine to create an HTML5 video game. I didn't want to do the monsters and bad guys so I made a car that shoots headlights and defers the bunnies from getting him. The object is for the car to avoid the bunnies. I think it turned out pretty good. It does what I want it to do and the software was pretty easy to use. There are millions of games you can make with it and would be worth making the investment.

ROBS Email Newsletter

There is a lot more to all those emails that you get in your inbox whether you want them or not. They are actually each a web page. Surprised? I was. This is a project for a real client that came to class wanting a logo. We started with the logo and our instructor had an email newsletter planned so... TA-DA! Here you go. I had a problem finding how to link my photos and inserts with absolute links  but it turned out and I'll need to go find the answers to what I need. I like how it turned out. Strong and simple.

 

PS... the photos are not mine. I borrowed them for the moment. I didn't have any construction photos of my own.

Template Webpage

Today I got to take a web template and do what ever I wanted with it. All the work is done for you by someone else and you get to play and do all the fun stuff. The top picture is how I changed it and the bottom picture is how I got it from a site off the web (for free).

I think mine is looking stronger and bolder than the original one. It stands out more and I like that. I'm very excited to get all the pages done and start spreading the news of my site.

This is Beginning to Feel Very Real.

This assignment we made a photo gallery using something called jQuery. We were to use all our own photos and add our logo. Pretty simple instructions, right? Well, what makes it really real is that this is the first page that I have made in a step towards my very own website. Not to mention that I have a logo for myself, that I actually think I like this time. I like the track I am on and will be venturing further into the world of jQuery and their other galleries and possibilities.

Good Morning Sunshine.

This assignment was done in After Affects (a digital motion graphics and compositing software by Adobe) It's a good program, there is a lot to it and I think I'll really like it once I've had more time to play with it. We had to animate shapes and add some music. Pretty simple. Getting used to the timing of how everything plays out will be something to understand in the future. When you play your animation back while working on it, it doesn't always play at "real time". To see it in real time you have to render it out and this little animation is taking 25 minutes to render as we speak. You can see the dilemma but I will get the hang of it.
