I have not yet finished my animation but am proud of what I have completed so far, the drawing on the next scene took ages.Just a fella

Today I drew out a background for my animation but I am having trouble as flash doesn’t have a very easy way to change opacity of the brushes, instead I had to draw an image, covert it into a symbol and select “alpha” to change it. This makes it very tedious as all I’m trying to do is make it look like the sun is shining on certain parts to give my background more depth.

Today we watched a video about flash, mainly how to ‘move’ objects and change the ‘with’ of objects. I made this Kirby in flash and will probably animate next lesson.

I have finished my album cover using layers, text paths, changing the contrast of the images and changing the opacity of the swirl.

Today I have almost finished my album cover on Photoshop. I just need to put some finishing touches on it. The cover is inspired by Nightcore, next lesson I will have the cover ready to be posted and printed.

Today we used Adobe Illustrator to make a text path. I find that, after getting used to Illustrator, that this program is superior when making text paths. I originally wanted to use the Deadpool logo but I couldn’t find any pictures that were legal. The main difference I found with Photoshop and Illustrator was the slight change in layout but mainly the different tools you can use. Photoshop is obviously based around the editing of photos whereas Illustrator seems more focused on making logo’s and other things like that.

Today we made some paths for the text to rest on. As you can see, my text is an oval shape which sparked the idea 0f making the shape into a person, this person was inspired by my good friend Dillon which I got permission from to make this image. Thank Dillon! I did all of this using Photoshop.

Today we got an image and used an ‘action’ to frame the image. Two of the images were saved as ‘TIFFs’ (which could not be uploaded as the file was not permitted on this website) and the other two images were saved as ‘JPEGs’.

This is the avatar I have made. I tried to use a lot more different tools in Photoshop that I hadn’t used before. I mainly used the contrast and brightness level tools and other tools like that. the easiest part of doing this was using the clone stamp and blur tool. I used the clone stamp to add more eyes and the blur tool to make it look more focused on my head then everything else. The hardest part (which wasn’t really that hard) was testing out all the sliders to change colour, brightness and contrast as well as others.
