Personal Planning Reflection and Development

Monday







Today is the hand-in date for all my PPRD work. I am finding it hard to make sure I have everything together and in order. Looking back 
I am happy I managed to keep this blog going because I feel it has helped me look back at my work and how I went about doing it all. It will defiantly help me with my future work and will make me look at ways I could improve how I do it. I am glad that it is going to be handed in, I just hope that I can keep continuing with writing about my work in a blog.

Thursday







I have handed in my Flash project. I am really pleased with how my final animation has turned out. It is better now I have added the clips of the character injuring themselves, it now seems complete.
I love the way it looks with the collage style and the hand drawn character.


 I feel the evening classes on Flash has really helped me with my animation. I am now looking forward to working on the website style piece I now have to create.


We have been given our brief for our new project. The brief is to create a magazine layout containing a interview with a designer we have been given to look at. My designer is Erik Spiekermann, I have heard of him before so I think it should be interesting to hear his interview on Type Radio. I think it os going to be quite hard to copy the interview from ear and write it down for my magazine layout. For this project I have to use and learn Adobe In Design. I have used it before but I do not know much about how to use it to its full.

Tuesday







Final critique for my Flash animation was helpful for me today. Everyone in my critique group liked my animation, but felt that I needed to include more clips of the accident scenes as I only has 2 scenes where the accident happens, and the rest were just the statistic of the accident that happens. I am going to add more clips of people involved in the accident such as someone sticking their fingers together with glue and another where the character cuts his finger with the knife. This will take time to do but I feel that it will improve my final animation and give it more of a awareness/ warning video feel.
