We started animation not that long ago and It was very difficult. But after we did more and more activities it started to get a little bit easier. We did are first activity which was a ball animation and I will tell you it wasn't easy. It involved a lot of steps and was very difficult in my opinion. We then went on to make a motion graphics which wasn't that hard as the ball animation, to me it was the best activity, it showed me new techniques I can use if I ever want to do an introduction or use It for other things. I feel like we should do more motion graphics in my opinion and see what amazing creations we can do with it. After we were done with motion graphics we went to gifs next, right now I just finished making my gifs and they're not hard to make either and their actually really entertaining. You can make really creative gifs that are fun to make and easy to do with simple steps. Also during the activities we got introduced to the drawing pen as well, and it really was confusing at first because I never knew how to use it. The pen was amazing and very interesting to use, I always wanted to use a drawing pen since I loved drawing a lot, and maybe I might try to get one so I can use it to increase my drawing skills to a new other level. Furthermore these activities gave me new skills and ideas I can use later on in the future and increased my learning on how animation works and how I can apply that to create my own.

Today in class we are working on our movie poster, now you must be wondering what movie am I doing for this project. Right now I'm doing the movie Astro boy, this movie I loved as a kid I would always watch it. But let's talk about my progress. Right now I'm adding wires into Astro boy, I'm going to try and make it as detailed as possible and add some lightning effect to it as if it were revving Astro boy. The title I want to make my movie poster is Astro boy reborn meaning he is coming back. Astro boy's body itself was actually pretty difficult to do. I had to adjust how I wanted his head and body, but overall I'm trying to add some shades into it. The background color and image I haven't decided yet but I'm still working on it. I thought of adding Astro boy feet and hand but I wanted it to look like he was getting built and still in progress making. But furthermore, I'm still thinking on how I can add more to this movie poster.
About 2 days ago we got introduced to the pen tool when I heard about the pen tool I thought oh this was going to be easy since I used the pen tool in making the badges. But no it was the opposite of what I thought, there was a whole lot more to it. Mr.B showed us how hard it was to use a simple pen, he showed us how to make the line straight, how to make a circle by using the curves, and how to change the direction by pressing alt. Once he was done showing this horror of a pen we needed some practice. So he showed us a game called The Bézier Game, this game was really extraordinary. It helped us how to use the pen tool in many kinds of ways and how to create specific things. But for me, I had trouble with the last bit which was making the car, I really hated that part. But overall the pen tool is going to be hard to use, but Mr.B told us that with enough practice we can get use to it.
The quarter I've been through was working on Adobe Photoshop. But as always there is a new subject we have to learn this quarter, and that is Adobe illustrator. Yes you heard me right we have started a new program and I will tell you a little bit about Adobe illustrator, and talking about my opinions on which is better Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. But first, let's talk about Adobe illustrator, personally, this is a really fun and amazing experience so far, They're are a whole bunch of amazing things and new tools we use now. What's really special about this program to me is how you can use shapes and other things to create a logo or anything else. But right now what I really want to talk about are the many ideas of what I want to do in Adobe illustrator. What I want to make or use in Adobe illustrator is making are own logo. Mr.B gave us an assignment talking about making a pizza, and to me, it was a really amazing and fun experience. I still want to see it happen in the future but it will be fun t make are own personal logo and maybe have a shirt of it, which will be amazing. There are a lot of possibilities that we can do now, but we need to have some more ideas in my opinion that will make it fun and amazing. Now let's get to the real question which do I prefer?, in my opinion, I will have to go with, drum roll please... Adobe illustrator!, now I know what your thinking, I've been with Adobe Photoshop for quite some time now and to me, it's starting to get a little bit boring. I've learned lots of new things about Photoshop-like using a variety of tools and etc, working with it was amazing and was a way for me to learn more about editing. But there is something about Adobe illustrator that makes it really fun. But overall that's my opinion on them, I will see you then.
Summary: - Different ways I could use Adobe illustrator. - Preference for Adobe Illustrator/vector And Adobe Photoshop/bitmap. - Which do I prefer?. |
