Calligram Assignment

The First Assignment...Calligrams.

Calligram is defined by Oxford Dictionaries as "a word or piece of text in which the design and layout of the letters creates a visual image related to the meaning of the words themselves."

We had about two weeks to create our calligram, we had to prepare sketches, then move into Illustrator to starting creating. Each week we learned more and more tools.

Personally, Calligrams are a real pain....But a fun pain.

Rotoscope

I used a video of my sister dancing. And I used all the footage, of the video and traced over all he frames within the video. This took several weeks but it was the most fun I had on all the projects. I used a quick sketchy style, within all the frames and I used music made by one of my friends that I thought fit the footage.

Photo Restoration Assignment

This was my very first attempt at Photoshop, and boy was it a challenge. We had to restore moderately damaged photos, either ones that we found or ones within the class folder. I couldn't find any so I chose one from the class folder. We learned a wide variety of tools in order to complete this assignment well. We learned about the Selection tool, the Clown Stamp tool, Dodge and Burn tool, etc. This was a great intro into Photoshop. And all in all I was pretty happy with the result of my restoration. Honestly, I should have adjusted the pixels and quality of my photo in order for it to be truly as successful as it was all round.

First Entry || 31.08.17 || HTML

After the first class, I feel like this semester will be very rewarding in what I will be able to achieve when I have completed this course. I've always wanted to be able to design digitally but it seemed way too complicated to do on my own, therefore, with taking this course I'll be able to design whatever I want eventually. BY second class we designed HTMLs I hated it....
