DDSGN 220 Assignment #9

This assignment was another comfort one. We had to create a simple interactive clipping animation in Adobe Edge Animate, a program that we used frequently in the 210 class. Using the word water, I created a thematic text animation that can be played forward and backwards upon clicking the buttons (wet/dry)

I just used a clipping mask in photoshop and some {stop} {play} actions in Edge Animate.

DDSGN 220 Assignment #8

Our assignment for this week was just to create a piece of art using a pen tablet in either Photoshop or Illustrator. I was pretty happy for this assignment, as it was in my comfort zone (I have been using a tablet at home beforehand).

Normally I use the pen tool in Illustrator, but decided to freehand everything in Photoshop. The assignment said not to use plain color fills, but as I started drawing, I couldn't help but slowly realize that I was using them anyway. I tried to alleviate the problem by using some cell shading techniques, but I'm not that great at it.

Who the hell do you think I am?

DDSGN 220 Assignment #7

We created an online photo gallery via Galleria, a javascript script that creates really cool online slideshows. This assignment was different than the others, as we had to dive into some javascript code. Dreamweaver is one of my weakest programs, so staring down a bunch of div tags and brackets was intimidating at first, but I slowly began to understand it better

Here is the Online Gallery

DDSGN 220 Assignment #6

For this assignment, we used Adobe After Effects to create a 2.5D  gallery slideshow effect. By putting images on a 3D ground plane and by using lighting, I tried to create the illusion of depth. I included frames on my photo to make the images stand out more from both each other and the dull background.
