Activity Booklet

Activity Book

We were given content to make a children's political activity booklet. The book was to educate children to teens on the injustice brought on cocoa farmers. The child labor, and unfair treatment to the farmers are meant to be learned by 5 minutes a day activities that have been planned out by a weekly course. It was really fun learning how to piece a design with content because it is a great real world practice.

Instruction Project

The Instruction or "How To" project was a very fun experience. I chose How to talk to women, specifically for the socially inept. We were given the freedom to choose our own parameters for the project and I decided to make a flash piece. Starting with the desktop of the person searching for a date, you are directed to click on the safari browser and go to a dating website. Once on the site the "reader" will go through a series of steps to learn how to talk to a woman. This project was really my first try at drawing caricatures, the characters being a imitation of Chris Brown and Rihanna....before the incident of course.

Button Project

In the button project or identity series we were to choose an art movement, in my case was Swiss Style. We were to make buttons for the Blanton Museum of Art. We had to analyze there museum hours, admission prices, and special discounted days and come up with a system that corresponds with the number of buttons.

Weather Report

This is our 3 part weather report. We are to chose 3 of 5 disciplines (location, alphabetical, time, category, and hierarchy) in which to show a 3-day weekend forecast for 4 cities. We had to keep all four of the city's information on the screen at the same time and transition into 3 of the chosen disciplines. After Effects movie, Photoshop, and Illustrator images.

Interface

Taking the images from the critical mass project we were instructed to create a slideshow interface for them. We were tp create 2 separate interfaces to compare and contrast. Photoshop images.

Black Squares Exercise

In this exercise we were to choose three words and demonstrate the meaning of those words through the motion of 4 black squares only. The 3 words here are Playful, Congested, and Tension (in that order). After Effects movie.

Blue Squares Exercise

This was an introduction to After Effects. We were to use 8 features to bring in the squares onto the stage specified by each squares letter.
