Welcome to my blog! This is mainly just going to be used for school but be my guest to take a look around. :)

Animated Avatars Assignment

How did you incorporate metamorphosis, satire, hybridization, or symbolism in your animation?   All of these characters are from different genres and games, none of them are really from the same enterprise yet when put on in the animation they fit together. None of the characters used are main or well-known characters, yet they are cute and loveable looking. 

How did you communicate your message? Part of the message here is that even if you’re not the star or center of attention, people still notice and appreciate you. I was able to show this through the use of secondary or background characters as the main attention in the animation. 

What did you enjoy about the process of this animation technique? I liked how simple the process of the animation was, even though it was tedious. It was easy to understand and demonstrate. Because the process was easy I was able to spend more time on my idea instead of bringing out the idea. 

What did you find challenging, and what would you do differently next time? The most challenging part was figuring out which characters to use. For the next animation I will probably pick out which type of game beforehand, and then pick out more sprites for more complex animation.

hey guys!! last year i worked really hard at finding ways to study and be productive that work best for me. i ended up with a 4.0 average last year, so I’m going to share with you guys what i did to make that happen!!

**disclaimer: this is what worked for me, but everyone’s different, so what worked for me may not necessarily work for you! these are just some things to try out if you haven’t already.

1. i always went to class. not only did this guarantee i’d get at least most of the professor taught, it also made all my professors like me (never underestimate the power of having the professor like you!)

2. i went over my notes a little bit every night. this made it way less daunting to study for a big quiz or exam!

3. i got 8+ hours of sleep a night. sleep extremely important, and plays a much greater role than you may think in how much you learn in class.

4. i applied what i was learning in class to modern events or my interests. this made me enjoy studying a lot more and helped me understand topics.

5. i read outside sources and watched youtube videos on what i was learning. sometimes getting a different perspective than what was given to you in class is just what you need in order to fully understand.

6. i tried to look ahead. i want to go to grad school, so i aimed for high grades in order to get into a good school. you can also look ahead to a future job or internship that would love to see a high college gpa on your resume.

7. i took time for myself. this is probably one of the most important tips i can give you- if you overwork yourself, you will not get the grades you are hoping for. practice self care!!

8. i did all of my homework- even if it wasn’t graded. in a few of my classes, the readings/practice problems that were assigned were not checked or graded. however, this doesn’t mean its not important!! doing all of your homework is a great way to review.

9. i made time for my interests. i made sure to set aside some time to read and do some of my hobbies to avoid burning myself out!

10. i went to office hours. going to office hours is the best way to understand a confusing concept!! 10/10 highly recommend

thanks so much for reading, if you having any questions feel free to message me! xx

new beginnings start when you choose, a day isn’t lost because you’ve messed up so far, you can start fresh at lunch when all you’ve done all day is scroll through instagram and choose to take this fresh start to do something worth your time. I choose to start fresh every morning, each morning making a new mantra to set the mood for the day, whether I need an extra boost of confidence or whatever it is that day I write it down at the top of my bujo page and recite it when I need to. I choose to start fresh at the end of everyday, noticing the good out of what has passed that day and choosing what to take forward with me the next and what to leave behind. It doesn’t only have to be New Year, start fresh regularly and choose what to take forward to better yourself and what to leave behind.

Self-Portrait Culminating

1. 

All three of the photos I have taken and used for this project can be considered either artistic or abstract. the most 'naturally artistic' image would be the black and white, it has dramatic lighting and an artistic feel to it. The other two images could be considered abstract, especially the one with the pixelating effect to it. While the picture with overlapping images is a mix of both artistic and abstract, the pixelating effect is the most ‘abstract' type of collection. 2. 

Abstract expressionism is an art movement that started after the second WW. The main causes of the movement originated in New York during the 40s and 50s, with the focus of the movement being an emotional expression with a spark of creative spontaneousness. 3. 

American: Jackson Pollock, David Smith, Cy Twombly Canadian: Painters Eleven

4. 

One black and white photo that I like is from photographer Mads Schmidt Rasmussen. This dramatic image was taken in Aabenraa, Denmark and he has called it "Taking Center Stage". The main stage light shining down on the figure is the only light source, truly highlighting the silhouette of the main form. Instead of just the spotlight effect, here we see the light hitting some form of smoke as well, the smoke with lighting effect amps up the dramatic mood in the photograph.

5. 

While all pictures taken for this assignment were all right, after adding effects to them it amplified their features. The black and white photo looked fine just as it was, however after changing the contrast and keeping the colours black and white it brought the image to a whole new level. The elements that made the photo dramatic were enhanced once all colours were taken from the image, making it better black and white then it was normal. In regard to the other two photos, they had nothing that made them stand out before the added editing. Now when you see the pictures you immediately notice things about them, and they'll stand out in comparison to your ordinary everyday picture of someone.

Personally, I didn’t know people still used beard oil but apparently, they do. Not only does it add a coffee scent but Beardology also gives a list of benefits that come with using the oil. Beardology also has a coffee infused beard balm which you can get as a package deal with this beard oil.

This necklace is a perfect minimalist gift for your personal coffee nerd. These flattened metal icons are in the form of a regular caffeine molecule. Not only does this seem to be the perfect gift for a coffee lover but also a science nerd, chemistry student, or any student in general due to the amount of caffeine they consume. The necklaces come in four different colours; Carbon Black, Gold Tone, Silver Tone, and Rose Gold Tone.

Kinetic Typography Animation

   For this animation, I used a script type font called Tuesday Night. This can be described as a script, handwritten, cursive, and title font. The font is designated to mimic a handwritten signature, I picked it due to the flowy motions which appeared to match my topic word.

Evanescent: Soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing. 

   My animation correlated with the meaning of my topic word due to the fading in and out of visibility. The word "Evanescent" reminds me of fog, vapour, mist, ink, and other subjects of the same category. This elegant font mixed with the delicate definition appeared to fit the animation style perfectly.     I have texture being presented in both the background image and in the font itself. Movement is illustrated through the motions the text creates, bringing your eyes to follow as it moves. There is also contrast brought out through the white background and black text, making the text visible throughout the entire animation.
