Animation HW1

 


In this tutorial, the instructor demonstrates how to create frame-by-frame animation in Photoshop. While watching, it's evident that the timeline feature might seem intimidating at first, especially for someone who isn't familiar with animation tools. However, with practice and patience, mastering this tool can open up a world of creative possibilities.

For someone like me who isn't particularly fond of animation but appreciates the end results, this video offers an intriguing insight into the process behind it. Despite finding the timeline aspect daunting, I can see the potential for creating captivating visual stories or adding dynamic elements to designs. The step-by-step guidance provided in the tutorial makes it easier to grasp the fundamentals of frame-by-frame animation, allowing even beginners to experiment and explore this aspect of Photoshop's capabilities.


The instructor goes into greater detail on Photoshop's frame-by-frame animation technique in this lesson, offering people with and without experience a thorough rundown of the process. The video provides a thorough description of all the tools and methods used to produce fluid and dynamic animations.

It's evident from viewing that the frame-by-frame approach could at first seem intimidating, particularly to someone who isn't familiar with animation basics. Nonetheless, it is simpler to comprehend how each tool works and how it fits into the larger animation process thanks to the step-by-step tutorial. One feature that jumps out is the use of layers for every frame. This could be confusing for me as there are many layers to keep track of.


While watching, it becomes evident that mastering keyframes and inbetweens might require some practice, especially for users new to animation. However, understanding these features opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing for the creation of intricate animations with fluid movements. Keyframes serve as anchor points for defining specific poses or positions within an animation sequence, while inbetweens help interpolate between keyframes to achieve seamless transitions.

Learning about onion peels adds another layer of complexity to the animation process but also enhances the overall workflow. By enabling onion peels, users can visualize previous and subsequent frames, facilitating better continuity and consistency throughout the animation. This feature proves particularly useful when refining movements or adjusting timing to achieve the desired effect.

Business Card

Using InDesign, I was able to incorporate deep symbolism into each design to create personal business cards that truly reflected who I am. The first card represents the light I bring into people's lives; it has a captivating eye. My presence brings joy and support, much like the eye is a window to the soul. The vivid green color represents my name, Jaide, like the priceless Jade stone. The second card, with the initials "JG," pays tribute to my ancestry and my great-great-grandmother's name Georgiane. Finally, the third card's bright blue color represents my zodiac sign, Pisces, which is a sensitive and adaptable water sign. These cards were mostly created by hand using InDesign's rectangle tool to create the color backgrounds. In order to achieve the ideal colors and make sure every shade had the intended meaning, the Adobe Color Wheel was essential. Using the fill Gradient tool to provide depth and dimension, the second card's design was a particularly ...

Calligramme

This graphic depiction not only conveys the astrological essence but also the courage that comes from overcoming adversity in life. Using Illustrator on adobe design software, I created this profound graphic that represents my path as a Pisces. With the anchor pen tool, I carefully sketched the picture. Precise sentence arrangement was made easier by the direct selection tool, which improved the visual storytelling. By utilizing the type on path feature, I was able to include text into each layout with ease and create a coherent story. Usin...
