Assignment 3: Vinyl Sticker

I failed this assignment. My design seemed fine, but when I ran it through the program, I misjudged how it worked. I didn't realize it cut out EVERY SINGLE OVERLAP. I assumed it did an outline of the imported vector. I had also misunderstood the assignment, and thought we had to print these on our own vinyl stickers, and didn't realize my mistake until this past weekend (for some reason I didn't think to look at the online tutorial beforehand, I'd assumed it was just a tutorial on how to make a design). Since I had misunderstood the assignment until such a late date, I didn't have enough time to fix my file, and get it printed correctly. It's my own fault for going to work instead of coming to class. I've attached a photo of my design to show I at least tried and knew what I wanted to do (I was going for a simple butt funny bumper sticker), but I'm afraid I don't have the actual sticker to turn in. Sorry about that Brian. I know I'm supposed to get a 0 for late work immediately, but if there's any way I can make this up, I'd like to know. Thanks.

Assignment 5: Lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols

Pretty much the whole story behind this is listed for Assignment 4, I'm not sure what else I could tell you. However, I realize my font is a little less on the creative side, so in order to make up for that, I decided to go ahead and make versions of the rest of the symbols as well. What's your favorite symbol? Mine's the tilde.

Assignment 4: Uppercase Letters

This assignment was a little more difficult for me at first. The hardest part was finding something I could use to make the font, since I'm on a mac. I tried that 'BirdFont' program, or whatever it was called, but it didn't work properly on my mac for some reason. Luckily, it turns out that font creators are a dime a dozen, including a nifty little app for an iPad called "iFontMaker". Thanks to that, I was able to make a font pretty easily and send it to myself as a .ttf. My font may not look like much, but what's really cool about it is that it's my own handwriting, given vector form and made into a font. Plus it's actually legible, so I'd say I met my goals.

Assignment 1: Animated Picture

So this is the first assignment for Integrated Media; an animated image. Overall, it was pretty easy for me, it was more time consuming to apply the mask frame by frame than anything else. My one issue was that I couldn't figure out how to get it to export as an image sequence with the mask actually acting as a mask. For a while, each image showed the mask as blue blobs, rather than making what it covered transparent. Obviously I figured out the issue, but that still frustrated me for a couple hours. Overall, I accomplished my goal of making an animated image. I'm not sure what technical skills I could mention in particular of using. I feel like Flash, despite taking the longest due to applying the mask and having the export issues, went rather well for me, easier than I expected at least. I'm really proud of my cracks and the animation I used for the lightning and blood. I guess that counts as a technical skill too. I dunno. Brian, explain to me what exactly you mean by technical skill. Other than that, I've got nothing to say.

I am me

Hi, I'm Trent. I'm attending Pierce College to gain an Associate's in Digital Design to become a Graphic Designer and hopefully eventually a conceptual artist. Also, I draw things. Some of those things aren't appropriate for school. So you'll never see them. I WANT THE CURIOSITY TO TEAR YOU APART. Brian you best enjoy this blog (for any random strangers who may have found this blog, I don't know why you're here, but Brian is the teacher whose class I made this blog for). The picture below is something I made for my girlfriend as a gift. I didn't have anything else really prepared as the first image to attach.
