4 posters

This quote was one of my grandfathers favorites before he passed. making this poster was a hard time for me because i had so many memories of him while i was creating it. I wanted to finish it however. So i devoted myself to it. he always told me to do my best, and good things will be achieved. Thats what this quote has came to do.

This next quote was my personal favorite. my goal in life was to and still is to do my best to succeed and progress in life. The gold represents the success and the white on black provides a cleaner look to the modern more successful side of things

This quote everyone can relate too, rough breakups often are remembers with song. losing a loved one, memories with song. Meeting your first crush, remembered with a song. If your  parent, meeting your significant other or having children, probably remember it with a song!

  

This quote is one by president John F Kennedy. This is one of his most famous quotes used inside a speech just a few weeks before being assassinated. It proves strong because he wanted everyone to get along enemies or not

poster summary

Summary

The character and function of a poster

Posters are meant to show and attract the eye to a topic of c choice using arts or information of such, Along with showing points of government, communal, political situations, and solutions to problems. Connections between the producer and consumer are also important, it has to be of importance or have a visual appeal to bring a feeling of want among the consumer.

The laws of poster designing

A poster should grab the viewers attention, not like a paint brush on a easel but like a thief going through a window with a crowbar. it should grab the viewers attention in a matter of a second, very quick. Forcing the viewer to create a connection between the viewer and the poster.

General demands of poster design

legible, must arise interest and be innovative, max affect, large so its affective at a distance, should remain in the memory of the viewer.

Lettering in poster design

Where the lettering is placed changes all of the affect of the poster, it must have a good visual appeal and that forces the viewer to like the poster.

Shapes in poster designing

shapes should be clean and proper, overlapping shapes create a field of depth and perception changes.  This allows the poster to be more visually appealing and create a cleaner affect and appeal.

color in poster designing

color can decide the atmosphere, color can also give impressions of rhythm. Color is your main communicator  of feeling and vibes.

Three key points

color decides your feeling. Lettering decides the time your poster seems to be worth. Finally shapes creat your feeling of depth and cleanliness.

Favorite thing i read

color decides your feeling.

General thoughts + conclusions

interesting to read and give my input on.

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.

The Scope/ Process

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.

Pictures

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.
