Strange Fruit

This is my squarnge(square orange.) The benefits of having a cube-shaped orange is that it would be easier to slice. Normal oranges roll around and the slices aren't even, but with a cubed orange, it's as easy as slicing meat, bread, or any other common item.

Banquet

This is my banquet project ayyyeee

Pen Tool

This is my character, Kandi. She loves to make corny jokes(haha get it, she's a candy corn.) Kandi was your average candy corn, chilling out in her home, waiting for the last day of October to come again. She had gone to the theatre to watch the movie Frozen, where she got an idea. If Olaf, the snowman, could experience summer, then who's to say she had to stay in her holiday? All the sweet candies got to participate in Easter, and Kandi was among the sweetest. She planned and prepared for her debut in easter. She thought about the look on a child's face when he opened up an egg and he receives a candy corn. Finally, Easter came. Kandi waited for one of the parents to set up the eggs for the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. When the mom went inside, Kandi popped open one of the eggs, threw the little pastel candies out, and hopped inside. She shut the egg, and waited for the next morning.

The hardest part of the pen tool for me was the manipulating. After plotting the original points, getting them rounded out was a challenge. I found it hard to make the sides even. The right side would be higher then the left, making the candy corn look disfigured.

State Poster

My Design Manifesto

This is my State Poster. I used the flag in the background, and put the state gem inside. The state insect is sitting on top of the state capital. The state bird is on top of the motto. I used the state flowers as a border, and the state animal is behind the motto.

epic film critque

This movie was like an onion. When you first see this movie, you think of a cute, lighthearted movie about a girl who becomes little and saves the forest. How cute! But when you dig deep into this movie, you see layers that aren't so apparent when you're first watching a Disney movie. This movie talks about family and the relationships between a parent and a kid. Peel it back again and you get the destruction of wildlife, and how important it is to preserve our forests. I guess you could also say it was like an onion because it made me cry.
Besides that, the messages in this movie were very well delivered. A teenager just losing her mom goes to live with her father, who doesn't have the best relationship with her. He's invested in catching these little woodland people. When she meets the queen of the forest, she's given the task to save the wildlife. Oh, also she's been shrunk to about three inches tall. She meets Nod, an ex leaf man who took up racing after his dad died.
Both Nod and M.K develop as characters throughout the play. Nod, once only into racing and having fun, learns to step up and become a leaf man, just as his father was. M.K learns how important family is, and strengthens the relationship with her father.
Looking at the production side of Epic, the animation was great. Looking back at the movies I watched when I was younger, like the Little Mermaid and Mulan, I've noticed the the animation has really progressed. Seeing the transition between the bright greens on the leaves to when they shrivel up and turn black is amazing to watch.
The strengths I think for this movie was the animation, because of transitions between light and dark, but the weaknesses would be the time sequence. The movie was very rushed, and the sequence of evens happened very quickly, but when you think about how the movie was aimed at children, they don't have that wide of an attention span.
This movie is definitely good for young kids. It's a cute movie that kids would enjoy, with comedic relief from the slug and snail. When adults watch it with their kids, they will enjoy the movie, but also understand the underlying messages in the film, which makes this a good movie for everyone.

There Goes The Neighborhood

This is my haunted house. It's supposed to be that one house that some old shady family built in the 1800's and now its haunted. ooooh so scary. The family is buried there. The the mausoleum over the house has the original family and the tombstones are the rest of the family. its super spooookkyyyy.

Custom Vehicle

This is my custom vehicle. I used the following vehicles to create this:

One of the terms from the article is resolution. Resolution is important because if you have low resolution, your pictures will be pixilated and text will be hard to read. You can fix this by making your resolution high at the star of a new project in photoshop.
