Flash Animation

Day 1
Day 2

For this project, we worked in Adobe Flash where we created either a landscape or city scape animation. Our criteria was an animation of at least 7 seconds length and at least 2 objects moving. I chose to do a hill animation where the idea was to make it seem like as the sun rose the hills would seem like they're coming closer as if you are moving towards them. For a little extra something, and to show what I learned, I created a simple which was made up of two wings created via movie clip and a basic round body made into one graphic. So as the sun rises and the hills come closer, I have the small bird flying away from you, to, and then past the hills. Every object here was formed from a basic shape that I then latter manipulated in order to make the graphics you see. To create contrast, I have the two hills being two different shades of green that also varied from the shade of the ground. I feel like this project went well, but could have been done better had I thought this out more.

Web Site Design

Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
This is the final part in a project where we were to create our own website with at least 4-5 pages. As you can see, I kept with the zombie theme and made sure to keep it constant on each page while still having something different on each page. I kept using dark colors against the fairly light background to create contrast and kept with the original box shapes to make small boxes to select to change pages. I really like how this project ended up looking like in the end.

Web design : home page

Day 2
Day 1
Day 3
Final Product (revised)


This was the first part to a project where we will be creating a website. We started off by doing the web home page. My concept is to do a zombie blog site, so for my colors and background I wanted to go for colors and items that represent decay and such things associated with being a zombie. We had the choice of using either Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, i used both to create this product. I tried to create contrast using two fairly dark colors over a light background. The only shapes used here are to make boxes to be selected. All in all I feel as though this is better than my sketch.

memorial garden sketch

 Failed and scanned it upside down. Also, I got bored and drew all the extra mess on it haha. It was originally just one of the trees in the garden.

KONY 2012 Promo Pack

Stickers
Poster
Flyer











For this project we were to create a promotional package for the Kony 2012 campaign using Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop. To create my products I used the color scheme of many already distributed Kony 2012 posters and flyers, which just so happened to do well at creating contrast with these colors. To create most of the objects in my products I took simple shapes and manipulated them. I feel as though I could have done better, but my final products represent my sketches well.

character design

day 1 - sketch
day 2

Day 4
Final Product

This project was actually my favorite of all year, and for it we were to create a character in adobe illustrator CS3 using skills learned and used throughout the year. The idea of my character was a zombie version of myself, so I took aspects of myself and how i dress and used skills I've learned to turn basic shapes into a character. Many of the shapes I used and manipulated here are simple circles or ovals. I like dark colors, so I tried to create some emphasis on his clothing using combinations of black, grey, and red. Not only does the final product represent my sketch, but it is much better to me.

doodle 4 google

Day 1 - sketch
Day 2

Day 3
Day 4 





Final Product



In this project we were to create a theme for the Google homepage using adobe Illustrator Cs3. The theme was a place in time we would want to visit, so for my project i chose the industrial revolution. As a class we were to use anything and everything we know from previous projects, excluding how to use the 3D tools. I used various objects i associate with the industrial revolution to create "Google". A crane with a wrecking ball forming the G and first O, a wheel forming the second O, gears and a cog for the g, an exhaust tower for the L, and an old clock for the e. Because most of the objects are grey, I decided to create contrast by making a blueprint background. I used many basic shapes, such as circles and squares, to create my objects. In my personal opinion, the final product came out better than the sketch.

Day 2

Final Product

Day 4
 For this project, we were supposed to do an illustration of our face while also using items that relate to us while using adobe illustrator. In my final product you can see that for my ears i have headphones, my hair looks like pavement and in my forehead you cans see gears, my nose is a motorcycle engine, and my eyes consist of a snake eye and a motorcycle wheel, and my eye brows are made of animal print trails. I tried sticking with a color scheme resembling the flag of El Salvador, which is what the ES on my shirt stands for. I tried creating texture in my eyes and hair with the effects option. I tried to put some emphasis on the eye containing the motorcycle wheel because it seemed a bit bland, so I created a tattoo underneath the eye to draw attention. This final product accurately represent my sketch, mostly because of the magikarp lips and whiskers. That was the most fun part of my project, making myself the "Awkward Fish".

Day 1 Sketch

Day 2

Day 4

Final Product

For this project we were to create a 3D rendering of a product we designed in  adobe Illustrator CS3. We had to use our knowledge of creating 3D effects such as Revolve and Bevel and Extrude. Using these options we could take 2D figures and make them 3D for better effects. I was inspired to create a sound system because of all of the music I've been listening to as of late. And the last party I went to we used many fun lights to high octane music, so I came to the idea of creating a sound system with LED lighting as part of it. The system itself is supposed to be balanced so I used a rectangular shape for the base speaker and two identical round speakers for the sides. I tried to create contrast with the fairly bright green against the shades of grey. I honestly feel as if this final product is better than my original sketch due to several changes I made on the original concept.
