Class Learning After Effects

Today in Class we learned all about After Effects. But before that we took 6 layers of pictures and rendered them into one! I chose a Picture of Jennifer Lopez, A Purple Sky, A Waterfall Background, A White Tiger, The Text " Lust & Danger", and the Art Institute of Tampa Logo! It all come together really nice. After that Ryan showed us how to use After Effects. He showed us how to use the A.P.S.R.O.- A= Anchor Point, P= Position, S= Scale, R= Rotation, O= Opacity! I was really confused and it was hard for me to learn. But i love the program, it creates many images. I cant wait to learn the program.. i am going to study it hard!

Today in class we reviewed our projects. We went up to the front of the class and we advertised our logos and explained them. My logo was this...(picture in last blog). I was trying to create a Computer Animation Company called CD3. And towards the end Ryan came in and critiqued our logos, and for first time students he thought it was successful! I think my logo was successful, i had really worked hard on it. Most of our designs looked better in black, and Ryan also agreed. This project was pretty cool.. After the presentation we took a TEST!! URGH!! i do not think i did well at all... BUT REMEMBER MRS. BROWN U SAID U WOULD KINDA WAVE IT LOL CUZ I WAS AN ANIMAL TECH .. REMEMBER MY CUTE POMERANIAN!!!! LOL!!! nah, but seriouslly i dont think i did that great on the test... i got most confused on the part where we had to know the shortcut keys. But all together it was probobly an ok grade. Hopefully so. Well i guess i'll find out my grade next week. Until then im out! 1

Creating a logo

Today we created a logo! Our logo was of our preference. I chose to make an animation logo for my company CD3! My logo was so cool! I drew a big c, and d, and had the 3 as an exponent. I also wrote animation in a plain bold text to draw more attention to the cd3 logo! its pretty cool! I enjoyed it all!

I like illustrator beacause u can do many thingz with it.. we were making letters come falling onto circles and step it was really cool.. also we learned how to create cool text! u can drag letters, you can even stretch them!
