After Effects 6 - Space Task

-

In the sixth After Effects workshop, the task was to create a 10 second animation of something that you would find in space. This was then to be edited together with all the other animations from my group to create one 3-4 minute animation of numerous different things in space. I decided to create my animation based on Halley’s comet, a comet that is visible from earth only once every 74-79 years. Also included in my animation is a rotating planet, after learning how to create the only 3D shape you can create in After Effects, a sphere. The workshop also taught us the use of the alpha channel in After Effects when rendering animations, as the animation includes transparency at the start and the end so they could be easily edited together. Below is my 10 second animation of Halley’ Comet, followed by the final result of Group C.

Editorial Design - The Document

In the sixth and final Editorial Design workshop, we covered a few different techniques in Illustrator and InDesign. In the first half of the workshop we familiarised ourselves with adobe capture and how to use it to take photos of vectors, make patterns and colour palettes. We then linked this to illustrator to use the images we had just taken. We then progressed to taking a photo from Pexels.com which we edited, rendered and clipped, then adding text to achieve the result shown below. After that we moved onto the InDesign portion of the workshop where we created a mini portfolio of work taken from previous blog posts and workshops. We then learnt of how to export and package the file, leaving us with multiple copies both online and stored to a device; to always have access to our work. The mini portfolio I created is shown below and accessible from https://indd.adobe.com/view/95483216-951e-4577-aad4-e4395029339f

Studio 6 - Observational Drawing

-
Image
For the sixth and final studio workshop, we took the workshop outside to make the most of the delightful weather. The brief was to go to three different locations and create observational drawings of the location. The first location I went to was the Huddersfield indoor market; to see how the people interacted with the space and the hustle and bustle of the market scene. The element of the market I chose mainly to focus on was the architecture of the building and the objects surrounding me, as you can see from the beam and boxes illustrations below. The second location I went to was a shopping area located by the library and art gallery; my observational drawings from the location are of the library/art gallery building and the chaotic trees that stand beside it. The third location was the Gothic Quarter of Huddersfield, by the side of the church. I chose to look at the intricate details at the top of the buildings, above the bars and shop fronts. I also chose to d...
