Spring Sensations

I know it's late but I was thinking this would be something interesting for our Spring Sensations video, a kind of stop motion changing of things, letting them evolve and change into new things. I don't think the actual use of clay would be need but maybe just something growing and changing like sharpie art or something would be interesting to use for this projec ...

Process Work

For this video I just put the camera on a tripod so it was looking down on the beakers. I really like the idea but I think it needs to be clearer and focused on just the one beaker as well as closer to the object itself but the reaction of the sodium in the water was good especially when it sparks up I made another shot of sodium and it's reaction because it was not only closer to the ...

Kinetic Typography Writeup

I made this Kinetic Typography using Flash CS4, and I made it to the song Candlelight by Relient K.  For this video, I gave it no real structure, I just wanted to be flowly and fun, like the song itself. So I choose to go random with what I did with the changing of words and adding of words. Though you'll notice that some of the transitions are matching, which was purposeful. I wanted to ...

60Painters

Heather Graham - Untitled Face.02 We went to the 60Painters exhibit last week and we were told to take one piece we liked and write about it. I choose Heather Graham's 'Untitled Face.02', I choose this piece because I liked how the face was really hard to see within all the white due to fact the features were done in this light grey color. Despite how hard it is to see the girl's face it's obvious ...

Portfolio Site Design

Yesterday we learned about the 10 principals of web design and today we were to find two portfolio websites; one that we thought was the best and one we thought was the worst. Here's my choices. Emotions by Mike I choose this portfolio site as the best because, it's simple. It leaves nothing to be questioned, everything you need to see if properly labeled and easy to see, and within ...

Helvetica - A Font that Changed History

Modernism, created at the end of WWI, consisted of clean lines, grids and simplicity. Modernism pushed for new fonts and from there, Helvetica was born. Helvetica is a font based on being simple, clean and even, all things that are representative of Modernism."It's air, you know. It's just there. There's no choice. You have to breathe, so you have to use Helvetica" - Erik SpiekermannErik ...

'Not One With The Crowd'

Surrealism of Social Anxiety  For my CyberArts tech class, we were supposed to make a surrealist picture based on an issue in the world. I choose how people felt outcasted or social anxiety for my project. Social anxiety is something that effects a lot of people, but isn't really talked about. Originally I had wanted to put my model so she was blended into the wall and instead of a dance - ...

Discord - Culminating

Still Image  For our culminating we were to make a still image and video - that tied into each other - that expressed the meaning of a word. My word was "Discord", it has many meaning that all really tie in to conflict or chaos, I choose to narrow it down and really just focus on it's meaning of lack of harmony or concord, basically chaos. My idea for the video was originally something more ...
