Project 4: Zine Update

So, I have changed my idea a bit. My latest idea is a zine that has some helpful information on creating a personal comic book. In addition, this zine has some insightful information about the medium such as its history. Here's what I have:

Project 4: Introduction

For this project, my idea for the e-zine is at least a 20 page book of my sketches and concepts. This idea came up while I was thinking about what to draw in my sketchbook and then hit me. I would like to showcase my thought process on how I work on a project as well as my random life sketches. This juxtaposes how I use my sketchbook as a tool for organization as well as a tool for me to draw whatever I see or whatever is in my mind.

Tools required:
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
issuu.com
scanner

Project 3: Rotoscope Video

First I added the blur effect to the original video, siren sound, and the red flash in After effects. Then, I export the video as a .mov and open it under Photoshop. In photoshop, I used the animation function to draw and edit each individual frame.

Project 3: Rotoscope Idea

For the 20 seconds rotoscoped animation project, my idea is a scene located in a art gallery/museum, where a burglar is running away from security guards.
We begin the scene of a burglar removing a painting off the wall. When the painting is removed, it triggers the alarm in the room. The burglar has an astonished expression on his face and sees the shadows of the security guards and jets off. Trying to catch his breath, the burglar hides behind a wall. The burglar thinks that he completely loses the security guards but when he tries to continue to escape, a security guard is standing right behind him pointing a gun holding handcuffs in the air...

Project 2: Final Update

Sorry, for the late update but here are all the illustrations shown in class today.
They were printed on cream colored cardstock paper. I have used at least one of everyone's vectors in these pieces. Overall, I think it turned out quite nice and I had lots of fun making them. Thanks everyone for your vectors, if you want to want to print out a copy, feel free to do so.

Project 2: Process

For this project, I really don't have a theme but I would like explore different types of compositions by using everyone's vectors. I begin this project with thumbnail sketches of how I want my final piece to look like. As you see, they are not very detail sketches but good enough to resemble the chosen images. Along the way, I made some adjustments to the final piece.

Here is something I have created based on my thumbnails using images from Zander, Iris, Lindsay, Julie, Seth, Mike S., and Ryan.

Next update, I will continue my exploration with composition using other people's images.
