Typeface and storyboard

For this project I chose the typeface Les Bains. I liked the simplicity of the typeface and I thought it gave me some options to play around with. As for what sound, I feel like it has a light, airy sound. But also, kind of futuristic and droning. But nothing too annoying or heavy.

Motion Design 2 - First Assignment

So this is the work for my first assignment in Motion Design 2. I originally started to work on a different piece, but I got completely lost. I thought technically it would be fairly easy, as I've used different kinds of masking in the past to make it seem like a line is being drawn or growing. But this time it was much more complex and it became a complete mess.

I made an executive decision and decided to scrap this idea and do something else. There was no way I was going to finish my first design. So I'm not thrilled with the current piece, but it's something to build off of. I have attached both storyboards. One for the failed piece, and the second, easier one.

Creative Block

As the end of the semester gets closer and the pressure gets larger, a site like this is a great reminder to step back and think. And to just have fun.

Great Flash Work

I'm really into this site. It's very simple looking but uses Flash in a really powerful and dynamic way.
