Logo's and Fonts

-

This week the class attempted to make our names into logos by using the tools provided in Adobe Illustrator as well as a specific template to create our logos on.  While I wasn’t satisfied with the finished product I enjoyed exploring and familiarizing myself with the different graphic effects, lines and colors. The fished logo had rectangles of varying sizes and thicknesses put together in a form I liked. It was difficult to change the outlines of the rectangles because they changed layers continuously. I b believe next time I will spend more time exploring color and shape rather than the over all completion because I believe the finished product was sloppily put together and I should have spent more time on the project.

During the week the class worked to complete their third sketch book assignment. The class reflected on their names and came up with ten adjectives to describe themselves. After writing down their name at the top of the page and writing down the ten adjectives they would describe themselves with we proceeded to research three different font typefaces to write our names in. While writing our names in these typefaces we also maintained any imperfections we normally have in our hand writing. For myself I used two fonts that used some form of cursive, curved and sharp looking lettering while the last font used bold print letters and seemed to be all over the place. My ten adjectives were lazy, aggressive, logical, idealistic, clumsy, earnest, reserved, honest, creative and pessimistic.

Professional Article Review

Write a summary of the article, identifying the three key points. A new software makes animation easier through the use of MoCurves. MoCurves allow multiple parts of a model to be accelerated and decelerated in real time. Discuss the author’s argument. The author has come to the conclusion that MoCurves will eventually replace key frames and become the standard for most animation studios. Due to the unique function of MoCurves, which can transform multiple motion cycles at once unlike key frames which, despite their accuracy, can only transform motion cycles separately. What information/evidence and sources does he/she use to support that argument? The author provides a video explaining how key frames work and how MoCurves are superior to them. They also provide a brief summary of a study performed with 5 students without any experience with animation software to prove the superiority of MoCurves over key frames. What are the article’s/author’s strengths and

My Personality Type

ISTP Personality Type In e9 we took multiple versions of the Myers-Briggs personality test. In all versions of the test that I had taken I was an ISTP. An ISTP is someone who is observant and has an understanding of mechanics. ISTP types are also good at responding to emergencies and are attentive to detail and responsive to the world around them. A famous person who shares my personality type is Stanley Kubrick, a filmmaker. Does it match? I don't really think the ISTP matches my personality. I'm not very observant of the world around me. While I am reserved I am also withdrawn. I'm also not adaptable or independent. Often I rely on other people. During emergencies I tend to panic rather than keep my cool and deal with it. I don't think my personality type explains why I am the way I am or why I gravitate toward certain activities over others. Does my personality type explain aspects of myself? My personality type does explain why I've preferred to work

ABC Sequence

The assignment was to create a video focusing on the sequence of a video. The project required multiple shots to make any jump cuts less noticeable. We began the project by making a storyboard. The storyboard took a few attempts because we had to add pictures and redraw the story board. Next we checked out the necessary equipment and began filming. Filming the video took many attempts because there were many teachers and other students constantly walking by during the video. We also had to improvise some of the shots taken due to complications. Complications such as the front doors of the school having an alarm system that goes off if they're propped open for too long. Finally after taking all the necessary shots my partner and I downloaded our videos and began the process of editing our videos. I learned that taking the same shot over and over from different angles can greatly improve a video. The removal of jump cuts can also improve a video by making the progression of a video
