Print Magazine Exercise

Here is an exercise which was given to teach to set up margins for magazine pages. I collected online reviews for the online games Minecraft and Rift. Here are the finished pages.

Enjoy!


Blue Screen: Ninja's

Another motion graphic project where I used keying to remove a blue screen around 2 ninja's having a sword fight. I added a background and kept it simple.

Enjoy!

Harlequin Design Brochure

A small project to create a 2 sided brochure to showcase and represent ourselves and the work that we have created. Everything shown on the brochure had to be work created by only the student. As well, my brochure was only 1 sided as I had enough content to fill the front portion. This brochure also folded into a single square on a 4x4 grid.

Enjoy!

Solo Editing

Here is an edit from the online mmo Darkfall. I spent in total 3 hours editing the photo and applying effects. Currently this is version 1.1.

Sphinx Ish is the characters name.

A neat little feature I found was using Adobe Fireworks with it's saving PNG files with 32 colour vs Adobe Photoshops offered 24 colour.

Enjoy!

The Finished Edit



Original Captured Screen Shot

Blue/Green Screen

An in class lab using Adobe After Effects introduced blue/green screen footage. The editing of the footage was interesting as it was mainly just changing the saturation and colours to match the choice of background.

Enjoy!

Star Wars and Light Sabers

Here is another recent project using Adobe After Effects. Like my last post, I took a sword and changed it into a light saber. This project used the same process to turn the green/red sticks in the footage and create light sabers. I only did two of the single light sabers. The middle one which is the colour red was not completed.

Enjoy!

After Effects - Compositing

A recent Motion Graphics subject in my program has opened my eyes to Adobe After Effects. Here is some very short footage (1 second in length) from the movie Braveheart. The lab involved tracking a sword, changing its colours and applying blurs with a hue/saturation change to create a light saber effect on top of it.

Enjoy!
