Updated Screen shots - After Effects work

Screen shots of my progress with the Adobe After effects work that I have been working on. The video clip is still being worked on but so far it's coming along well, it still needs more work added to it including text and finalising the changes made to it. 

Adobe InDesign - Workshop

In this Adobe InDesign workshop we were given a tutorial on how to make an informational flyer. The process for using indesign proved to be tricky but that was expected as it was my first time using the programme. I think I'll be using this programme more often for the layouts of my design work and for presentational purposes. 

Making of Motion Graphic video - Process shots

I'm not very familiar with Adobe After Effects so I wanted to create work using it to try something different and to see if I would enjoy making work with it in the future, so far I'm finding it acceptable to use because it's not too hard to figure out and the workshops have definitely been useful. 

I decided to document my progress with the motion graphic work that I've been doing with a few screen shots from the After Effects programme. 

Festival of Light - Huddersfield

I went to the Festival of light because I thought I could get a range of photos that I could use in my project. From the event that took place in Huddersfield I managed to get a good amount of photos that I was very pleased with, the photos above are just a few that I thought stood out to me and showed what kind of photos that I were looking for. 

I thought that the day off was a successful one and I'm looking for further events to take more photos at. 

Trailer - After effects workshop Photoshop CC

This is the finished trailer that I created in the after effects workshops, I think for my first piece of work on after effects that it's at the standard level of work but I think it could have been better with a better choice of music and a larger range of photos to work with.

 I think this definitely helped me with after effects as I am wanting to create a final piece for the city in flux project using this programme, from this I have learnt to chose a better range and quality of photos to work with and to think about what music to place in with the photos to match the feel and mood of the video. I feel as though this was a good practice piece of work and from now on I should have a batter understanding of what I want my videos to look like. 

Pinterest/Research/mind mapping

I came across Pinterest in a lecture about mood boards and creative ideas, I find that if I'm ever struggling for ideas or inspiration I can find help on pinterest, it's where I keep all my inspirational art by a wide range of artists who specialise in a vast amount of techniques and processes. The spectrum of colours, scale, typography and overall level of creativity is what I like about the website. 

Eugenia Loli - Artist reference

What I like about Eugina Loli's work is the way she she's images and how she uses collage to take images even further. Being a lover of collage these really inspire me to continue working with collage and to develop one of my three ideas further. I also like to see the level of creativity she has, to me her work opens a window into her mind so we can see a little of how her mind works.
