Portfolio Reflection

Tiny Box Tim Walk-Cycle

In this project i learned how to create a walk cycle. I learned how to create the cycle through a step by step process demonstrated by my teacher. I chose this project because it was one of my first and also one of the funnest. My strengths and weaknesses were in the main creation, my background wouldn't fit with the scene but i got it to fix, but the creation of the walk cycle was rather fun and easy. I wouldn't change anything. I overall favor this project over them all.

Hammer

The hammer was another good project. I earned how to smoothly bend and split materials with maya. I once again learned through step by step process. I chose this project as #2 because it was my second best in creation along with the nails. I didn't have any weaknesses with this project and my strength was in the lighting of the scene. Im going to take this into my future of game molding in game creation. i wouldn't change the project and i overall enjoyed this project.

Ice Cream

I chose the ice cream next because it shows many weaknesses in this project. I struggled with the texting and color with this project, i couldn't put textures in my ice cream and i couldn't put the wood texture on my table. I have learned how to struggle with weaknesses in the project... I wouldn't change anything with how i learned, just my creation process, because i struggled.

Cup

The cup was extremely simple and it was the easiest project. all we had to do was outline the cup and circulate it and nada you have the cup. It was very simple and there wasn't any room for weaknesses or strengths in this project.

Pen

I learned how to model something that was right in front of me. I taught myself the creation of this project. I chose this as my final one because it was the first project it seemed as it was just here. good luck! And it was a decent creation on my behalf. I didn't have any weaknesses but i had strengths towards the main creation for the pen. I wouldn't change anything an throughout this year i have enjoyed this class deeply.

Personal Project Blog

Tiny Box Tim and Sniccers

Scope and Process

The Main idea of this project was too create a project with a start climax and resolution. My process for creating this project was that i created a story board and my idea of this project always changed. i went from going on a adventure to look for a missing sniccers, to just having them escape together and go on a adventure together.

Production

I learned a lot with keeping all the art boards the same size and putting multiple animations together in order to create one large animation. This technically was a pain because some of my art boards were blurry during animation and pre-production

differences and likes in Work

I would have set my story board up different before hand so i wasn't aways changing, but no rough draft is perfect. However, i would also want to keep the post production the same, in the story boarding process and the creation of scenes.

My Experience

i Loved this project with a love hate relationship, because i had a lot of struggles with my art boards and i changed my story board several times, but overall i liked the project.

Graphic Design Final!

Projects for the semester

Photoshop challenge.

This project was a photos tutorial we did at the beginning of the year. it took roughly a week. I got through all of it pretty easy, i faced no challenges. i learned a lot however, especially with photoshop. I received no feedback and i changed nothing. I didn't care for the project however.

Self portrait

The self portrait was designed in adobe illustrator making a copy of ourselves using the pen. it took roughly a few days to complete. i faced challenges with my face however. I learned how to fix it however. Nothing changed in the project. I didn't care for the project but it was fun.

Fall Postcard

The fall postcard was extremely fun for me, getting to use my imagination was great i enjoyed this project a lot. It took roughly a week and a half. and i faced no challenges, i overcame all difficulties. People loved it too!

Raccoon

The raccoon was in the fall postcard it was my main animal, i designed it and i enjoyed it because i got to turn mine into a little baby raccoon. It took about a week to design in the step by step process. I was have feedback by skylar with the pacifier the baby has.

infographic

The infographic i also enjoyed. I got to choose a topic of my choice and design it as i wished. I had a lot of feedback with my infographic, such as colors, percent signs, and text color. i changed it all and I've always enjoyed the constructive criticism.

Personal Logo

The personal logo i have been wanting to make since about sixth grade and I've been decided on it for years! i enjoyed playing it so much, it was my favorite smaller project all year. I received no feedback and i changed nothing with this project, but i did struggle with my lettering and the circle size for social media.

Time

time usage

Ive used my time in class other well, handling my classes, grades, clients, and my job all from my class time. I stay rather productive, however i will admit i got sidetracked at moments. its no secret.. What i do to enhance myself is i work with actual clients outside of class time and make their work that they request during my time.

Strengths

I have strengths in art and creative flow, i never have to backtrack i man usage of all of my work an mistakes, because i believe flaws give personality. This enhances my skills as a designer because i no longer have to worry about my work and mistakes because i work through my flaws and mistakes to help better myself.

Weaknesses

My weaknesses exist in being limited on a project. i don't like having to be stuck to a exact detail. however i do enjoy working with clients and their work, because a logo os more than a idea. its a story for every person.

Summary

i loved the self logo the most this semester. I would change the fact that on some projects we were limited this year. I am taking away a lot of knowledge this semester, i have gotten to express so much this semester and I've loved this class. my goal is to continue to grow and learn more. I love this class, and i love my http://captnbrandon.blogspot.com.

Over view of the project

This project we designed a hammer along with nails, but instead i chose to put my nails in the bottom plane to appear as if they have been nailed into the plane. to give the hammer a more appealingly realistic feeling.

The objective/ process

This was a objective of creating a circle that had 4 open sides and this was our first project with lighting during rendering. Its turned out over the next few projects to be extremely fun to work with lighting and angling of the shadows!

Castle

Building Process

I started with the towers, after making my 4 towers i made one wall and double sided it then put them along the 4 sides, carved the front entrance and made a inside castle. After that i created the mote and the bridge along with the water. This project allowed us to expand our creativity and usage among molding this castle. i learned how to use pictures over the sides and the different parts of the castle.

Ice Cream

Ica cream in maya

main idea+parts

we created each separate object one at a time before putting it all together, then we shaded and colored it all, before adding lights. Doing tis project i learned hot to texture, group, and the difference in the two color options.

11x17 infographic

This is a gaming infographic, i chose gaming because as a youtube. it is very dear to my heart and my day to day life. My research was simple, i just spent my time researching what was least known among the gaming community. for example how much of the gang community is female, or what games are most popular? My wire frame and lay out.... was accidental... I just put a lot together and created what came to be this infograpfic. My process in creating this was super fun, a lot of extreme creationism. My feedback was both with and against my infographic, however mostly positive! This has been my 11x17 infographic.
