Week 1 Of Web.

My first week of web so far has been challenging. Its a hard transition to design in adobe programs for the last 8 months then switch to web language of text and create and design that way. This week we have learned the basics of web HTML and web CSS. I do get the format and style guide on the web works, but let me tell you its not pretty colors or images that we are creating in text edit, Its all code and text language . I'm a little confused on how converting CSS to HTML for style guides and sheets but I hope in do time it will all click and fall together.

Week 3 Of Applied Multimedia

Week 3 of Applied Multimedia was a little more challenging then the first two weeks. This week we put together are portfolio and gathered are design work. We also created an online portfolio that I still have to do many updates in. This week I also brainstormed on many different ideas with my creative portfolio and creative resume. I started on both and still brainstorming on different ideas and how I want everything to look. I'm still kind of bummed on how this class fell I wish it was closer to my graduate date just so I could have more design work and me more knowledgeable with web. But all and all everything is going great. Finally made it into the last week of applied mutimedia I'm excited to start showing off my work:)

Week two of Applied Multi Media

Week two of Applied Multi Media has been going good. Today I finished my two mock interviews with student services, I received full 30 points for both interviews and then was told that my résumé needed better spacing to fit all my info on one page. These next couple days I plan on doing some research on creatative resumes and how to get the style and look that fits me. I also purchased my portfolio today and I'm excited to start putting together my peices and layout of my portfolio. I think this class is extremely important; for its helping me brand my self as a designer and get organized on the look and style I want business and clients to view me as a designer . Just as important to my self as a designer to have an identity to my design work and start getting my name out there as a graphic designer. I have a lot of work that I'm proud of and I'm excited to finally be able to start showing it off. I can't believe I'm more the half way done with school I've learned a lot and I'm ready to take in as much knowledge as I can these next two weeks of applied multi media. 

Back To Business

After enjoying the summer vacation week off. It's back to the books! The summer semester went great, I learned a lot and still managed to juggle, school, work and and a social life for the summer so I have no complaints for the summer months. I just recently wrapped up a internship with Diamond View Studios in North Tampa DVS Tampa is a Video/Multi Media studio company. With DVS I learned more about Final Cut pro the process of video editing, Some after effects skills and also hands on skill with video shoots and commercials with multiple companies in Florida. I just recently applied for a motion graphics intern position with the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey team, I'm truly fortunate and blessed to have my teachers who informed me about this opportunity. And got the good news this past Monday, That I got the intern position! I'm extremely excited to start this Wednesday with the graphics team. This is a great opportunity for me to get introduced to the entertainment field of design as well as my DVS summer internship. For the entertainment industry is what I want to be involved in as a graphic designer; Weather it be sport franchises, Major fashion companies, Popular magazine companies or just a big fortune 500 company. I want to take it to that next level and I'm excited to see where the next 10 months with Keiser University takes me. 

Conquering Adobe Flash Week 4

This is the final week of multimedia 1 adobe flash animation and it has been an interesting and challenging journey. One of the most challenging things that I had to over come included timing. Creating a story with animation that looked realistic and well put together opend a whole new world as a graphic designer to me. A lot of editing and patience goes into animation and at times was over whelming knowing when to start and stop throughout the process. As a protectionist I found my self editing, editing and more editing. At the end of it all I'm glad to have conquered the basics to adobe flash and more then excited to get into more production and other programs that have more to do with video production such as dream weaver and more experience with photoshop This is just the beginning of my production/graphic career and I'm excited for what the future holds. I'll keep you posted

Week 3 Entry.

Ending in week 3 of multimedia 1. We have covered adobe Flash CS5 we have learned how to work and operate flash and all of witch the system is capable of doing. This next project we are working on is making a 30 sec flash function using at least 5 different Disney principles of animation. This will be challenging seeing we will actually have to design with the Disney principles in mind. Last project was to create a 20 sec commercial ad of a company of our choice. The turn out was great I was happy with my work:). This project is a little more challenging but I think once I start to create and draw out some ideas everything will flow together. As I learn more and more about the adobe programs I find me liking some of the systems more then others. Getting into production is HUGE for me because thats my passion, The more I learn the more I love it. Video and audio production has always been a passion of mine; This really was a perfect stepping stone course to get to know the basics. Im very excited for these next 4 weeks :) 

Learning Flash CS5 Week 1&2

Learning Flash CS5.

Week 1&2 projects 

The next 3 week's of this summer semester will involve learning adobe flash and how animation is created and used as a graphic designer.

Week 1 project: Was to create 3 6 second banner ads of a product of our choice. I chose NIKE for a ad because I knew the brand and use the brand. Targeting the audience would be challenging but creative seeing there is so many different types of advertising that NIKE repersents. I found Week ones project very educating and learned a lot about flash and sequencing in your animation and designs together to get a motion picture.  

Week 2 project: Was to create a 30 second long ad for a product of our choice. I chose Beats Head Phone's By Dr Dre. I chose this brand because I find all ads, commercials and advertising in general very catchy and creative. This is a product that represents something that has never been created or done before. His state of the art creation in music has changed listening to music as we know it. And Beats advertising always gets that massage across every chance they get in the advertising world.
