Yearbook Reflection

What do you like about your art?

My favourite page of my yearbook is the art page because it looks interesting and eye catching. I also really like the patterns that I used in my cover page. I like the idea behind my yearbook, having to unlock it to open it. That is my favourite animation in the yearbook. I like my arrow buttons on the animation.


 What do you dislike about your art?

What I dislike about my art is how all of the pages are random and don't really match the central. The colours schemes of each of the pages don't really match the other ones. I also dislike the title page. I wanted it to be secretive and you have to open it to unlock the secrets, but the cover page is not really that eye catching and has barely any pictures on it.

If you had to do the whole assignment over again, what would you change about your art?

What I would change is that I think I would add more pictures on the cover. I also didn't like the colour scheme that I used on the Terry Fox page, so I would change that colour scheme. I think that I would change my second animation so that it was something more creative and something that fits in with the page.

Rotoball Reflection

What I like most about my rotoball:

I like the idea that I had for my video, the plot behind it. I also like the background that I used. I like how random the animation is. It is interesting in the sense that it is unexpected and the viewers would want to know what will happen next. I also like the colours that were used in the video because they were bright and make the important parts of the animation stand out. I think it also adds to the theme and overall idea of the animation. I like the colours of the powers because they are not what one would expect them to be. They are very bright.


What I like least about my rotoball:

I think that I could have added more details to my animation, such as on the face and clothes. I could have shaded and added details. This would have made the animation more interesting. I also could have animated the background to make it stand out and look more original. I don't like the way that the powers were created. They were not that detailed and did not look professional. I dislike also how the people in the video sometimes go outside of the background. My biggest mistake was not deleting the original video. It is visible in the animation.

Yearbook Design Brainstorm

- The theme for my yearbook could be inspirational and thought provoking. There would be inpirational quotes about remembering past times and how memories are all we have.

-Another theme that I had in mind is a retro yearbook. There would be bright, almost clashing colours and many patterns throughout the yearbook. 

-Another idea of mine was dreaming the impossible. It would have an almost abstract design.

- A comic book theme for the yearbook would also work. There were would bright , eyecatching colours and patterns . Each page would be like a page out of a comic book with borders and shapes.

Photo Text Assignment Reflection

1.What do I like most about my series of photos?

The thing I like most about my series of photos is how they are slightly unusual. You can't just look at the photo and know what it is and what it means. You have to interpret it which means that each different photo could be interpreted differently to each person. I like the actual photo that I took of me in the mirror with the duck tape over my mouth. It's kind of creepy and different, but means so much for the lyrics. This is what I was aiming for.


2. What do I like least about my series of photos?

What I like least of my series of photos is that I found it hard to make the text a part of the picture rather than just on top of the picture. I found that in my last two pictures, the text was just there. It didn't really match with the photos. I find that the colours that I chose for the text in the last picture didn't really match the mood that I was trying to portray in the photo. I had trouble thinking of ideas for the second photo and this was the result. I think that it could have been a bit more original. I think that I could have used more filters on my pictures to get the mood and impact I was looking for.

3. Which photo was the most successful of the three and why?

I think that the first photo was overall the most successful. This photo perfectly captured the mood and impact that I wanted to portray in my photos. I think that it fits really good with my lyrics. This picture makes people look twice when they see the photo. I think that this makes them want to know what it means. This picture is the most original and different compared to the other ones just by the method I used to make it.
