rest away.

Our animation project was due today and it was super nerve racking. As we had rest we were lined up to go last - which was both a good and bad thing. Good: being that we didn't have to present so early, and Bad: meaning we got to view everyones crazy pro videos before it got to ours. Needless to say our nerves were pretty shot but we went ahead and played it.

What i've learnt:
What i see on my own computer monitor, is not the same as it viewed on a projector blown up to 30x the size.

When we rendered and edited the video, the images were a lot more crisp, but because of our chosen screen resolution it was quite blurry and slightly out of focus. I thought it added to the 'restful' theme but i guess not. Hm.

Well, if you want to watch the video, here's the link for it below.

Anyway, i'm just glad it's all over and done with now. We kissed goodbye to design fundamentals and although it was hectic, i surprisingly still had heaps of fun! Looking back, our learning curve was super steep but it was actually a good thing.

postcards - collab.

So our postcards were all due a couple of days back. And i just have one word to say - wow. Who knew that postcards could be so awesome. I saw some amazing ones when we all lay it out on the tables to see. Like i said before, our group did Martin Place and i think our groups' post cards worked together really well. There weren't any that stood out from the group and we all followed a strict colour scheme so that really helped.

In our postcards we explored lines, texture and placement. Because we were a group of girls we even incorporated cosmetics into our post cards (i.e. foundation, mascara, eyeliner) but we also used techniques such a coffee drawing (?), sandpaper cutouts and newspaper backgrounds.

So behold, our collaborated artwork:

Arranging the postcards in a nice order.

Can you guys guess which ones i did?
