     Over the course of this semester, I was able to learn many things using adobe apps such as illustrator, photoshop, and indesign. Using these tools was entirely new for me and it was definitely a struggle to figure out at first. Eventually, I was able to understand how to use everything and I think a lot of my projects turned out well. Out of the ones I made, I think my logo, animation and somewhere projects are my favorite to look at. I am glad that I have a basic understanding about adobe tools. This class also taught me about transporting files and I find that extremely useful in day to day situations. Overall, I enjoyed my time with these projects and I could see myself making similar things in the future.  

  This short animation was made to resemble comic book characters with super powers. First, you can see the person power up to get stronger. Then, they charge up an energy blast that they shoot somewhere else in their own world. The character's movements were all individually set in each frame as well as the drawings; the energy blast and yellow aura surrounding the man are all hand drawn in each frame. The animation was made in over 300 frames.

The pictures below are my personal business cards. The pictures above are the sketches I made for them. I used indesign to create these and I think they turned out nice. They did not come out exactly the way that I wanted them to because of the difficult designs of each one. If I had more time I could probably have figured out how to do them eventually. I really was hoping to get the diagonal contrast look, but my best attempt at that is the last business card on the bottom. I thought the idea was very unique and would have been cool to have done on at least one of the cards.   

My inspiration behind my postcard was the proboscis monkey. These monkeys are known of being extremely loud due to their unusual noses. Their noses act like guitars, bouncing sound in and around them. Not many people actually know about this monkey, so to see a farm of them would be pretty cool.
