FMX 210 Course

This course has taught me a lot about using different Adobe softwares and how to produce animation and visual designs. On the first day, I was worried about how I would complete projects and the difficulty of the class. Later on, I realized that I am able to finish projects and learn new softwares in a short amount of time. After the last day, I came to the conclusion that I have to think about how to step my projects up to the next level. One thing that resonated with me was how Professor Santiago said that our portfolios must stand out from the rest. It was helpful when he showed us examples of each project so we knew what was expected. Sometimes Professor Santiago would show a demonstration and it was going a little too fast for some people.

Portfolio

This is my portfolio that showcases my projects that I have made in this class. I struggled a little with framing and sizing each project but in the end, I figured it out. I made the color scheme based on my Autoscopy project.

Animation

                 This is a frame by frame animation that I made. I drew on top of a 400 frame video to create this 40 second animation. It took around two weeks to complete. The dance is an Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam. I made the background music with Garageband loops and my own voice.  My voice is the low beat in the background.

Autoscopy

Trapped

        

I have the autoscopy that I made from the original image under it. I made the autoscopy dark and added bars to symbol anxiety.  I also added chains and handcuffs to show how you can be trapped with anxiety. 

                                       

This is the autoscopy at 0%. 

    

This is the autoscopy at 25%. 

   

This is the autoscopy at 50%. 

    

This is the autoscopy at 75%. 

    

This is the autoscopy at 100%. 

Somewhere

Lady Gaga

I was inspired by the Kirby Jenner photos to create an image where I'm next to Lady Gaga. I looked through her instagram till I found this picture of her, then I decided to lay down in the picture to allow more Focus on Lady Gaga. This was also to add comedic value to the image. Lady Gaga actually took this picture in Tampa after her concert.  

Colorize

This is using the Analogous color palate and next to it is the black and white image. It took a long time to add the small details on the eyebrows and hair but it turned out great at the end.

This is using natural colors that I got from the original image before I turned it into Black and White. It looks a little like a cartoon version of me. 

This is using a complementary color palate and the black and white image. The hair and backdrop are similar colors but different shades.

This is using a triad color palate and painting over the original image. There were two similar colors in the palate that I used for the face and background. 

This is where I got to use any color and customize my image. I added a lot of piercings, some of them that I am considering getting. I added the face tattoos because one of my friends said that I would look good with face tattoos and I wanted to see how I would look with them on photoshop. 

Poster Project

                   This is my poster project, I had some difficulty with finding an image that works but in                          the end, it came out great. The colors in this poster are of the transgender pride flag.
