In this project, we explored the idea of type in motion. We created a weather report for four different cities. My project shows them in time (days of the week), and hierarchy. This was a challenge for me at first to wrap my head around the concept of using motion as a aid not necessarily the tool. This project did expand my thought about type.

Our project was to create and instruction guide for something relatively everyone knows how to do. I chose "how to mail a package" and then decided to narrow that topic to "how to mail a package to a soldier".  I felt that a brochure would be impractical because technology is the main source of information in our society. I chose to create an instructional video to challenge myself and better my skills in AfterEffects and using type in motion. 

For this project, I chose the scientific theory "Earthquake" to create a metaphor for. In my story, two sharks begin fighting, mirroring two things having friction in the beginning of an earthquake. One shark pushes the other into a mermaid castle creating an explosion, leaving a large amount of rubble. Earthquakes destroy and cause destruction. I used photographs, scans of objects and materials, and Illustrator to create my characters, background, and scene. I created my video in Adobe AfterEffects

For this project, I have created an interactive map showing my daily walk from my living area, Basil Moreau Casitas, to Fleck Hall. I chose to engage the viewer by allowing the viewer to control "me" with the arrow keys. The viewer can go at their leisure. Throughout the walk, as my icon walks along the path, information bubbles appear with something I encounter every day. The information is general and personal. I used Flash and Illustrator.

The purpose of this project was to familiarize myself with the the way AfterEffects works and how design can work in time.

The purpose of this project was to create three icons depicting any topic or subject of our choice. I chose the city of Austin and from the three icons I created, I have created this video to show my process of iterations and the creative process to narrow down to my final icon. I used Adobe AfterEffects.
