Webpage

For a taste of web design, our class made a webpage in Adobe Dreamweaver. We had to insert our elevator pitch, bio, and a few of our favorite projects. I chose my sketch animation as my favorite because it was a challenge but was still really fun. I also like the butterfly project because it was unique and fun. We added hyperlinks, changed the font and headers, and changed the look. The borders and the background also got a face lift, in an attempt to make it look semi-unique. I hope to make even more complex and unique websites in the future!

In the Doghouse

With this SketchUp project. we used a base, like a blueprint for a building. We used exact measurements to make the doghouses identical, save for the colors and the little accessories that I added in, namely the dog and the bowl. I likes having the freedom to do whatever I wanted with the last project, but I really like SketchUp, so it was still fun.

Bord och Stol

For a while now, we've been using the program SketchUp to create 3D models of things. For this project, we created a table and chairs, and I modeled mind off of a table at a restaurant or bar stools. I used the Follow Me tool to make the corners not so sharp. and made the chairs all components and rotated them so that they would all be exactly the same. This was a really fun project!

Sketchy

For this project, we had to rase our names backwards to create the illusion of someone drawing our names. I chose a relatively hard font to work with, to make it look like it was a bubble letter drawing with artsy details inside. Hannah and I did a kind of joint project concerning this, and I love the finished product!

Video Killed the Radio Star

Using our ten words that we chose for ourselves at the beginning of the year, we created a video style animation with Photoshop, instead of a frame by frame animation. The result is a smooth animation with little work involved, instead of those time-consuming frame animations.

ArcFire

For this animation project, we used the same principles from the first bouncing ball project, squash and stretch, ease in and ease out, and anticipation. We used a frame by frame animation style and did it all to make it look like the ball was bouncing along out name. This one was really fun!

Squash and Stretch

The first principle of animation is Squash and Stretch. It occurs when an object is in motion, and makes the object look more lifelike. This can be applied to a bouncing ball, as I did, in a way that makes the ball stretch until it hits the ground, where it squashes. This makes the animation look more exaggerated and fun and adds a bit of life to it.
