Flash animation

My Animation

This project took a lot less time than I expected, I took a simple idea and put it to work. I would give my self a 6 on creativity because it wasn't a very creative project because I just made shapes change and an explosion. The thing I liked most about this project was being able to put an idea into action and see it play out before your eyes. I learned a lot during this project I feel that if I wanted to make an animation by myself it would be really easy. I give this project a 8 as a review because it makes you learn about a lot of the things you can do with animation and not just the easiest.

Colors and Textures

What im most proud of in this project was how i made designs which gave a feeling of the emotion i was trying to portray. on a scale of one to ten i would give myself a 7 because i couldve spent more time on this project but i kind of rushed through it. This project didnt take as long as id suspect i finished faster than i would have liked but i still feel good about what i did on it. My favorite part of this project was picking a design that would explain the word im describing. Im most proud of the colors that i picked describe the word comfortable.
 
The project turned out just like i thought it would because i think the design is frightening. if i could do this project again i would pick different colors and a different design to better show the emotion the word means. i would rate my creativity on this blog a 7 because the design and font i picked looks pretty frightening. my favorite aspect of this project was making the design with fireworks. no part of this project took longer than i thought it would.


There was nothing that was unexpected that came from this project everything was pretty simple. the font i choose spoke alot towards towards the feeling of the word. on a scale of one to ten  would rate this project a seven because it teaches you how to use a useful program and how to express a feeling through art and design. this project did not take longer than expected everything was pretty simple and fast. i would rate my creativity on this project about a 7 because i didnt have much to work with and i feel i did a good job with what i had.

Communicating Through Design

During this unit i was meant to learn how to communicate effectively through design. This project did turn out like i thought it would, i thought it would be simple and just need to think about what to do. If i had to do it again i would make crazier designs and think through the designs a little more. I'm most proud of the bold square it shows boldness very well from my point of view. My favorite parts of this project were coming up with ideas to use and to describe the words well. I would give myself an 8 on this project because i feel i was very creative and the designs speak to the words well.

Flip Book

How to draw a paced animation that would look good at a fast speed when animated. Something that was unexpected was it was easier than i thought, I finished in one day. What I would do different next time is create a better idea for my animation. I am most proud of the explosion at the end. I would rate my creativity on this project a 6 because i like the way he runs around and gets blown up.

Morph Creatures

During this lesson i was meant to learn how to skillful blend skin tones and animals together in a way that was believable to the human eye. Things turned out like i thought they would I could've done a better job matching the skin but its a hard task. If i was to do it again i would probably make a more conscious effort to blend the skin tones in a more professional way. Im most proud of the way that the mouth looks like a normal animal while the rest of the animal looks completely alien. 

During this lesson I was supposed to learn how to match two pictures together to create a new alien creature. It turned out exactly how i thought it would, the spider monkey worked perfectly with the face of the lion. Nothing took longer than i thought it would, it only took me around two days to complete. Im most proud of the two pictures that i found because one is the king of the jungle and one is a small innocent spider monkey. I would rate this project at a 7 because i could have done a better job at matching their skin tones but i still feel i did a good job at the lower part of his face.
