Animation Project

Although I had no experience working with animation in photoshop, I was able to enjoy this project a lot. I found using my past project, based off Philadelphia, and combining that with this project made it even more enjoyable. Conor and I did not find it too difficult, however we did face some challenges with the changing of sizes of objects to make them appear more realistic. The switching of frames was also tricky because we did not want the "checkered" background to appear on the video. Another challenge we faced was finding a good spot to cut the video at. The song was over a minute and it took us a while to do each second, but we are happy with where we decided to stopped. All and all we are happy with the outcome of the video!

Photoshop- song lyrics

The words I used for this project came from The Fresh Prince of Belair. The images I used were all to describe the city of brotherly love. I enjoyed playing around with the tools on photoshop, I just had some issues because of my lack of expertise in photoshop. I was a little frustrated with my lack of knowledge within the tools.

Photoshop







I found this project to be very fun, being able to combine images I have taken prior and put them into photoshop was really neat. I had some issues using the stamp tool to remove the edges around the two smaller pictures, which I could not figure out. Other than that I think everything turned out really nice and I was happy with my final product.

Photoshop Demo




I enjoyed the combining of these two images to make the final product. With the use of the quick selection tool and the dodge tool I was able to implement the unseen lighting in the bayshore picture and crop myself out perfectly. Other than the awkward halo above my head I am happy with how the picture turned out.

Pikachu

This project was extremely challenging and frustrating. I had issues with the chart and the points my lines were supposed to go, and the direction they actually went. Another frustrating aspect was coding, saving, then checking and having a minor error in the code that messed up the entire image. My besier curve was another struggle, and the mouth did not come out as I had intended. The last struggle was the pokeball, I couldn't not get the color of the smallest circle to be white which was annoying. Overall I am happy with how it turned out.

Animated Image


This project at first was very challenging with my original image because of the intense detail, abstract background, and awkward lighting. I ended up choosing a different image, and used the new adobe tools to re create my picture. The most challenging parts of this process was proportioning of each body part, choosing the right color of skin tone, and the recreation of my hair. I ended up changing the background and some of the shadowing was also difficult, however I am happy with my final product.

5 Logo's

Amazons logo is simple and the yellow arrow is a recognizable characteristic of the company. I think the fact that it is in lower case letters is also distinctive because it isn't too abrasive. The company name itself, to an outsider, would draw interest into what the company is even about, and is appropriate for its target audience of consumers with discretionary income who want products fast. 

The Android logo is special to me because I am one of the few who do not have an apple iPhone. I think the Android target audience is for people who are more into the technical side of cell phones, with multiple functions for file saving, downloads, and different apps. I think it does a good job at targeting that audience because it is a little green robot, which can be identifiable to someone that likes technology. 

Baskin Robbins targets consumers with children or just children in general. Their known for ice cream and the colors/font of this logo capture the attention and childlike appeal to their consumers. Since BR is under the Dunkin' franchise I think that it does a good job at pairing the children with Baskin Robbins and the parents get to enjoy a Dunkin' Coffee. 
DODGE's company's motto is to "Grab Life By The Horns", revealing their target audience is those who are ambitious, hardworking and generally blue collar. The red ram is an identifiable symbol of the company and grabs the attention of its audience with its red color. The border around the ram is odd, but I see that it is on all of their cars so I understand it now. 

I particularly like this logo, the soft colors and shading of LG's logo definitely stands out in my opinion. Intertwining the LG with the smiley face is a unique way in expressing the company's motto of "Life's Good". I do not think that an outsider would actually get the company's aim of selling electronics and smart phones, but once you realize that, it makes sense that smartphones are supposed to bring convenience and happiness to its consumers.

5 Logo Ideas

1. "Not Your Average Joe" - This is a fictional coffee based company.
2. "4our Eyes" - This company is going to be based off of a variety of reading and sunglasses.
3. "HERB4LIFE" - This company would take on the same business model as "Herbalife" but revolving around the recreational marijuana industry.
4. "Koozies 4 Boozie" - A company based off of the classic coozie, a beverage holder that can express many designs.
5. "Quaker Oats' - A redesign of the original "Quaker Oats" changing the font and the spokesperson character.
