This animation took a pretty long time to complete. I had originally planned it to be 15 seconds, but with many laptop dysfunctions at home, I ended it at 10 seconds. I loved drawing the hand opening the pizza pox the most. I think it was very fun getting the timing right and the flowContinue reading “My Pizza Animation”

For this assignment, I took the Walk Cycle that I created of me and put it in its own environment, using motion tweens. The items in the front, such as the velvet rope and the lighter silhouette, move faster in parallax motion. The things in the back, like the darker silhouette and the cityscape, moveContinue reading “Motion Tweens: “Famous””

This assignment was tedious but a very fun process. I started by recording myself walking, and then outlining it in Adobe Animate. After the outline, i filled it with color and shadows. I edited the walk so it went across the entire page, and the end product was great! This really does capture my walk,Continue reading “My Walk Cycle”

Yes, I, Lizzie Miller, re-created a Lizzie McGuire poster using myself. This was by far the funnest project I’ve done in an Adobe program thus far, and it turned out even better than I thought it would considering the fact that I didn’t even know Adobe InDesign existed beforehand. The first thing on the agendaContinue reading “My Movie Poster!”

The outer space assignment seemed pretty daunting at first. As a beginner in Photoshop, I thought it would be very difficult. However, once I got the hang of things, it was very fun! I started with the background, and created the stars and nebula. The stars were instantly made using a light noise filter. ThenContinue reading “Outer Space Assignment”

This assignment was very fun and fairly simple to me. I started out with an old photograph of a train, and turned it into a Polaroid picture coming to life. Many layers, styles, and masks took this assignment to the finish line. To begin, i had to create the basic rectangular shape of the printedContinue reading “Out of Bounds Assignment”

Today I investigated 3 photography pointers: rule of thirds, leading lines, and depth of field. I chose photos from professionals online and also photos I have taken before, and analyzed them to see if they fit all of the requirements. The first photo I found online is specifically all about the rule of thirds. TheContinue reading “Reverse Engineer Post: Photoshop Tips and Tricks”

My last project in Illustrator was my Lizard Logo. It took many sketches and ideas to come up with a style, design, and layout that my peers and I could agree on. My sketches started out with my name as the focus. I thought that if I was going to be making a logo forContinue reading “My Logo”

For about a week I worked on building my own self portrait in Adobe Illustrator, using nothing but the pen tool. There were some easy and fun parts of the work I did that were fast-paced and simple. There were also some more frustrating pieces, such as the hair and mouth. Some of the moreContinue reading “Self Portrait”

this blog post, I am using reverse-engineering to find good typography methods in a well-known advertisement. This TWIX advertisement I found caught my eye immediately. I noticed that the type face for the words “Left Twix” and “Right Twix” are decorative, because it’s not sans serif, slab serif, modern, or oldstyle. Sans serif means thatContinue reading “Typography Reverse-Engineering”
