Perpetual Bouncing Ball - Animate

Here's my perpetual bouncing ball that I made the week before spring break. Thank God for people showing how to do these on YouTube.

Descending Energy Bouncing Ball

As if another animate assignment wasn't going to be tedious and time consuming enough, I made it even worse for myself by doing an extra 2 hours of work, just to delete it and start over. The" Animate Like a PRO! Bouncing Balls in Flash CS6 " video on YouTube started by showing how to make a bouncing ball with frame by frame animation, which we already learned how to do, but I figured that was the first step of making the arc motion path version...so once the video and I finally finished the frame by frame animation of it (about 100 frames), the video then started over to show how to make it with an arc motion path, and I was pissed. I then spent another 3ish hours making the arc motion path and tweaking the arcs and adding and removing frames until I finally had a natural-ish looking bounce. Not one of my brighter moments.

InDesign Newsletter Layout

I don't know what was more frustrating about this assignment, how tedious and time consuming it was to adjust the tracking between words in the layout, or figuring out how to print it correctly.  The tracking problem was frustrating because how how minuscule each adjustment was and I couldn't figure out which amount of space between each set of words looked best, and then, once I'd finally set the new tracking distances, I kept finding a new font or font size that I liked better, so then I'd have to go back and adjust all the tracking distances. However, once I finally realized that I could highlight a line of text and adjust the tracking between all of the words at once, that task got much easier. As far as the printing dilemma, once I went through the entire checklist of specifics (that we went over in class) to make sure the layout would print right, I made my first print attempt, and it turned out that one side of the spread was upside down. After some go...

Raster to Vector Illustrator Assignment

This assignment took me a good 3-4 hours spread out among a few days, and there were so many little tweaks and changes I had to make, trying to make the shadows just right, constantly changing the hues I picked, etc., that I felt like it was never going to end. However, I must add that I actually kinda enjoyed this assignment because after I'd draw a line or make a new shape and finally get it right on line with the template, I'd hide the template to see the progress I was making and that was a really good feeling. The hardest part was definitely dragging the anchors of the shape I made to cover the shadows, and getting it to cover all the right places and look like a natural shadow. Especially because once I'd drag the shape out one direction on the bird's left wing, it would tweak the bottom right boundary of the shadow ever so slightly that I felt like the tireless cycle of adjusting the anchors would never end. I'm very content with how the final product looks...
