Cat Animation

Final Animation:



Artist Statement:

For this piece, I wanted to draw something from scratch, and I wanted to do something with animals. One of my favourite animals are cats so I tried my best to animate it. I drew 8 different cats in different positions while walking, using google for reference. I used the pen tool in illustrator to create my cat silhouettes and then dragged them into Photoshop. I actually didn't use the tween tool, instead moving each one by hand to make it flow better and actually look like the cat is walking across the screen. Then, I took the grass stock photo and zoomed in on it. I added a filter on top of it to look more cartoony / more like art instead of real as the car is small and cartoony.

For the tagbrush, I dragged my transparent PNG brush file into photoshop and made it fade away by messing around with the tween tool along with the opacity. For the credits I tried my best to make it look like rolling movie credits. I used the tween tool for this as well and made it move from the bottom of my screen all the way to the center with my title, name, class and the term.

    Very cool! It's clear that you put a lot of work into this. The animation looks very fluid and I like how you added the grass in the background.

Business Cards

 Sketches: Final Product: 1) 2) 3)  Artist Statement: For my business cards, I used the colours of my three different logo variations as my colour scheme. I played around with a lot of different layouts but I chose these three. I took different ideas from my sketches to create these because I did not like how they turned out and merged them into what the final business cards looked like. I mainly centered the logos for each front page and used the back for all the information. I chose a handwritten font to pair with my logo so that it had a fancy feel. I used glyphs to create the tiny icons of a phone, house, and email, which helped me omit the words "Contact Information" and make my cards look professional. I think my favourite front cover layout is the first one and my favourite back design layout is the last one.

Portfolio

Artist Statement: I tried my best to keep my portfolio as neat looking as possible and kept a colour scheme that is easy on the eyes; black, white and red. For the front and back cover I used pictures of Japan as they are aesthetically pleasing and related to me. I tried my best to separate my work and make it as big as possible so that it is able to be seen. I kept the artist statement/most of my text on separate pages. I made sure to organize the layout properly so that the texts weren't next to each other and made sure it was kept in order of when we did each assignment. My favourite page is the logo page where I formatted it to look like a professional brand guideline page and it took me very long to lay it out the way I wanted it to. If I had more time, I would try out some different fonts and make some pages more interesting, but overall I am very proud of what I made.

Self Portrait Poster

Final Image of my Poster: Self Portrait: Selfie Inspiration: Propaganda Inspiration: \ Artist Statement: In this piece of work, I wanted to take a stand against racism using my graphic design skills to create a propaganda poster. As a person of colour in America, and as a victim of hate-crime in this country, I wanted to explain my feelings through my use of colour and representation of myself in the poster. I chose the colours red, greyscale and yellow to somewhat take inspiration from the constructivism art movement. I chose yellow to represent the tape and typography banners because I wanted it to give the effect of a crime scene.  In Illustrator, I created my self-portrait using the pen tool and shading with different colours. I did not want to include too many colours in my poster so I exported my portrait into Photoshop and applied a black and white filter as well as changed the brightness and contrast of my image to make it greyscale but not muted looking. Then, I took that ima
