Module 4: Assignment 1

Assignment 1

 

For this assignment, the class was instructed to experiment a bit with the new
animation software. 

Using Adobe Flash, I created the following short animation. I'm just beginning
to familiarize myself with the tools, but I thought this was a neat little
animation. I had a larger idea for this short, but will be revisiting that in
later assignments.  I used the GIF construction set program to
convert the original .avi to a .gif.

 

The second part of the assignment was to create a banner advertisement. 
I used the smallest setting of 120 x 60 to create the following clickable
banner ad.

 

Here is a print screen of my work in the .Gif construction wizard.

Client 1: Century 22.com

I have designed a website for the online realty company Century22.com. Using the FireWorks program, I used the various drawing and image editing tools to create the following webpage. The website is sleek, appealing, modern, and easy to use. All of the required links are prominent, and the images really capture the future of the real estate world.

I have also designed a website for the online pet supply company PETZ.COM. The site is a very clean and simple design with all of the required company links on the left and links to the individual pet pages on the right.

The photos used to create the PETZ.COM project can be found at the following links.

In addition to the website homepage design, I have also designed a t-shirt for Petz.com. The shirt exhibits all of the key animals that the website services, and is an attractive piece of wearable advertising.

Module 3: Assignment 2: Montage

mon·tage (mn-täzh, mô-)

n.

• A single pictorial composition made by juxtaposing or superimposing many pictures or designs.

The theme of this montage is "your personal statement on a subject". Therefore you are to incorporate real, surreal and/or fantastic elements in this assignment

The personal statement I chose to make with my montage is a parody of the corporatization of America. I chose to use the color green again as a symbol of money. In this case, the entire world is "seeing the world in terms of money." Note the advertising that preverts the cityscape and the message on the back of the nomad's shirt. The images used to create this montage can all be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/EricScalice/UntitledAlbum06

For this assignment, the class was instructed to colorize 2 seperate images. The first, a black an white sketch or drawing; and the second, a photograph.



For the colorization of the black and white sketch, I used a combination of selection tools, different vector path drawing tools, and an assortment of colors for shading the new colorized drawing. The original image was a sketch of an older gentleman sitting at a piano. I decided to change the concept to reflect a young person with vivid colors sitting at the same piano to convey the idea that modern youth can still have an appreciation and love of music akin to the older generation.



The original image:

For the second part of the assignment, I found a photo of a trinquet that resembles the image on the back of the U.S. one dollar bill. Utilizing the selection and fill tools, I adapted the image with green hues to create the paralell with currency. I left the gold center of the image untouched, and used the vector pen tool to clean up the edges of the filled portions a bit. I added "$" symbols in a clock-type motif to symbloize the world's constant attraction to money.
