Personal Logo creation

 I am using as my avatar a typographical logo representation primarily due to my (currently) poor illustration skills. Therefore Typography is a fine basis for a foundation in self exploration.  As I have a tendency to prefer san serif fonts over serif fonts I do like OCR A STD.  It has a modern utilitarian appearance.

Initial thought on logo components

One of the minor flaws of this typeface, in my opinion is the letter ‘M’ due to it’s lack of curved peaks. Subsequently, I improvised the use of 2 ‘J’’s to create a consistent style.  The letters are the first letters from my full name. I then included the infinity symbol to represent an open ended opportunity.  The use of colours was limitedly considered other than RED being the central letter and therefore the focus of the logo, being the centre which draws the eye to the yellow infinity symbol which you wouldn’t notice as soon otherwise.  The Purple and Green are two of my favourite colours and I placed the darker colour on top to drag the eye down to the red and yellow components.

The balance works from left to right and a triangle shape points towards the infinity symbol.  As a cartoon super hero once said “Infinity and Beyond!”

Assignment 2 KIB123 Postscript

I would like to have been better prepared and have allocated more time to animation.  It's a great subject & I want to do more of it.  I started with a concept of write on shapes to roll about the screen & bump into each other changing there shapes.  

As my blog shows I do like the way text is presented in film/TV  The early clip samples I thought were raw, and now even with this technology I think I'd like to be able to reach that standard.  Animation through the use of pencil animation I find absolutely fascinating.  I employing some of the Kinetic text sequences I can now see how some of the effects were done, my favourite being World Standard Day Conference 2013.

I also wanted to do kinetic text which I finally chose and completed.  Due to a lot of unexpected external pressures I wasn't able to devote the time required to present the concept I had in my head.  There it will remain for a while yet.  The multitude of effects and options available in after effects in staggering and hopefully I have now been immersed long enough to tinker out of Uni & become more proficient in the use of this software.

3D gone.. Joel said not in 3D... LOST!

[mattkel]

Was trying to get this write on effect in 3D & not having much luck.  Back to 2D & time is slowly disappearing..

[mattkel]

Work in progress, less than a week & not sure if this is going to come together..... Maybe I could use part of the other project for some footage?  Must ask!

This is another Assignment where I am simulating a user experience for Kids to learn about recycling.  Its different from other educational experiences I have found, because they are actually attacked by the waste & they need to identify what it is & which bin it belongs in.

Just need some sound to enhance the interactive properties.

Week 6- 3 ways to reveal an image in a After Affects

In 2 hours- Mask 2 Mountain Ranges, 2 cities, 1 car and driver (duplicated) into 1 car park.  A few issues due to stressing timeline & feathering in parts is a little wrong (sky).  Ran out of time with all the masking & no easy in or out on the cars to bring them to rest.

More practice required to refine skills
