Cubes


In illustrator we created cubes using the pen tool. Each cube is a combination of lines. The degree of the line is 120. Started out with one line then duplicated it, moved it up, and grouped the lines together to make them square.  Then created a bunch of random cubes and shapes containing cubes.

What does Graphic Design mean?


Graphic design is.....having the freedom to be creative and not limited to certain perspectives. With core classes everyone is required to do the same assignment (usually), but with GD everyone is free to be creative and do the project they want in their own way. An idea can turn into a million ides.

Video Copilot Tutorial


   The tutorial was to create Graffiti Writing, also including a paint ball splatter effect along with it.
I mainly used the paint splatter effect, everything with the animation of the letters can be done without any outside files. With the paint splatters I just changed the color of them to blue and added a color burn effect. It is a very simple tutorial, nothing to complex. The part I enjoyed the most was animating the letters which is done with the pen tool. Overall the entire tutorial is great. I think my final product came out great.

Kerning

   Kerning is when the space between letters is adjusted to fix the appearance. For example like letters TA, they look better with the spacing adjusted without it it looks like T A. It's more of a visual effect than just the text itself.

eMagine

     Once again eMagine has arrived and is already gone for this year. Entries this year were better than last year. Red vs Blue was my most favorite animation. But overall the greatest entry was The Wall, I felt like I was actually watching a real movie. The feeling of the suspense of their being a prisoner that escaped. The actors and directors of the video did a fantastic job. It wont be long till next year rolls around and then eMagine will arrive again.
