Animation

 Test

This is a test animation I am doing using adobe Animate. Starting simple.
It was from a drawing of one of my old professors from SUNY New Paltz who recently passed away.







To the City

I was going through some of my old videos/files and dug this up.
Back in 1993, I did some stop motion animation of a guy driving. This part is him going to the City, there is another part when hes actually in the city. I used cut out paper and drawing.
I added some free to download music and also added a title to it in WIndows Movie MAker

This is not my submission for the assignment as i want to submit something using Adobe Animate.

M5 CP - Animation (Part 1, Stage 1)

Toxic TV


This will need some introduction. Way back, in the early 90s I received a grant for Video art. I created a program called Toxic TV. It was a strange puppet type show about a town that was called Toxic town.  I ran it on public access. It was funny when when my friends and I made it but after viewing it to on tv, I think a lot of people were confused by it. Regardless, was fun to do.
I always wanted to incorporate it with animation. Animation and cartooning was something I wanted to do before I went to art college, but being a fine artist this was Something I never really got around to.

This is my storyboard for the logo and opening sequence. 

I will probably go further and create a short skit, but I figured I would at least make an opening sequence. Here is the concept sketches. I created using adobe sketch. I will take into photoshop and Illustratot further. To animate I would be using Adobe Animate.

M4 Design Competition Part 2

International Compost Awareness Week Poster Design

 

 

Modified version.

 

Brochure Layout

Done mostly in Indesign but some elements were done in Photoshop and Illustrator. It ended being alot more complicated than I thought because of the fold compensation. I made 6 pages(dividing 3 pages from 1 actual letter size page using measurements found on UniversalPrinting.com on their template page) then formatting 3 pages together, creating registeration marks and slug notes where the folds are. 

 

 

Here is my final design. I traced the city image and repainted it, a little more stylized. I learned about saving selections, which I hadn't known before which was a huge time saver for me. I also created a selection mask for the middle plant. I decided to go with a sketchy hand drawn version of Compost, I just couldn't find anything that had the feel I was going for. I decided to a misty air around the swirl. I played alot with levels. then working back and forth into illustrator, was amazing when I reworked the file in Photoshop and saved it , then went back to illustrator it would update it. 

For own sake, I am now putting together a brochure in INDesign and will have that ready in a day or 2
