D2 Final Project 2011 Pina

For my final project I chose to do a candle store chain called BLUE MOON CANDLES. My slogan for this company is "Candles that make scents." For my web page I chose to create a soothing environment by using light colors. For the labels I chose to identify the scents of my candles with pictures. 




I made another company that wasn't quite as serious. This ice cream company is aimed for younger children or just grown ups who like to feel like kids from time to time and let go of daily stresses by enjoying some frozen desserts. My ice cream company is called BIG SCOOP. My slogan is "What's your flavor?" It seemed like a good slogan because no matter how many ice cream flavors you try you always have that one favorite flavor. I created a menu, some apparel that employees wear or if a customer would like to purchase them they could, my web page which I tried to make more fun by using colors that pop, a cute little ice cream shop, my billboard that would pass the 75 mph test, and an ice cream truck (which are fun no matter how old you are).

This is my final project. I created a fast food restaurant that survives healthy food. The name of my company is called "The green Tomato".




The company product is healthy food that is for people on the go, Store location is all over the united states and making its way across the oceans. The target customer is for every age and to get the customer to eat more health even when they are to busy to stop and cook a healthy meal.




My company name is "The green Tamoto" and the moto is "straight from the garden to you".





As you can see this is the logo and my moto for the restaurant. I wanted it to be semple but to be eye caching. The other logo is the logo i used for on the trucks, cups, bags and the carry out containers.








This is the shirts that the workers wear they are simple black with a bright green and yellow green logo on the left side and the back of the shirt has just the tomato at the bass of the back of the neck.




This is the truck for the food delivers i choose to use a simple logo that was easer to see and read as it gose 70 miles an hour down the road.







These are the packaging. I use the same logo as i did on the trucks. It is simple and a clean look. This logo is easier to see and can be mass produce easier.







This is my fast food restaurant i choose a simple but modern building. I made my logo pop and the sign with just a simple tomato with black around both the tomato and the logo.









This is my web page i went with simple with an advertisment of a new smoothie with the moto and logo at the top.






These are the window clings i went with simple but fun to get a younger customers.






This is my menu i went with simple with black and bright green to draw the eye.








These are my billboards i went with black and bright green to draw in the eye but also simple.





My video would not loud sorry and it was good.






Making this business i went with a simple look with eye caching colors. That some of items have a little humor to draw in consumers of all age.

D1 open Series/flash animation explanation.

Ok, pretty much my open series and flash animation is about people. In that we are all just meat with a soul, were are made up of the same stuff; its Almost the like the the way the companies or institutions look at the people in general. There might be something about superficiality in my pieces. We may look different and have our own personalities but no matter who you are just another one like the rest. It is hard to explain because when i made these pieces they had no purpose or meaning, but if they had one it would be that.

Have a great summer everybody!

D1 Flash Series - Boydstun





The theme for my flash videos is a extension of my  "little people in a BIG world" theme from the open series.
 thought it might be interesting to see what really happened to the little guy Nichole was stepping on....

D1 Flash, Candace Sweatt



Yeah, uh...I know, I know...I could totally sum up my pathetic attempt at using Flash as something akin to beating one's head against a brick wall. Repeatedly. I obviously had no clue what I was doing. Honestly, Flash is very intimidating to me and I don't have much to say for myself in regards to my horrible attempt at this assignment. I blew it...

D1 Final Turner





For my open series I chose to put recognizable figures in places you wouldn't expect, so I just took two of my open series characters and put them into flash.
For the Abe In Space I created a new, smaller Abe and added a hat, just because I wanted to. I couldn't find any convincing space sounds that I really liked, so I just spiced it up with some Elton John.

For Zombie Elvis, I made a new Elvis in Photoshop but changing the saturation and the hue, and made him more zombie-ish with dark, low opacity soft brushes. The clouds move in the background, I wish it was more noticeable though.

I don't like Flash. I hope everyone likes the end product.

My flash animations were based on my open series that no one seemed to understand at all, so I doubt anyone will like these either. They both malfunctioned in some way or another and I'll probably do everything in my power to never use flash again. The monkey one got smashed once it was uploaded and the Bono video got its music track messed up for no reason, and I made about 4 other videos, all of which were either too big for the stage (The stage has a maximum size actually) or becoming too complicated to actually work. I am not proud of these.

D1 flash series 2- J. CLARK

my open series idea was abstract art. this made made my makin a video very challenging for me but i came up with some ideas. i used my landscape abstract art to create a video of some cars driving across the road.. and in my second video, i used my cat image to make a cat move from one side to the other and then blend in with the white cat to make a grey image.. after that the cat then leaves and comes back onto the screen and slowly fades into a white cat.... i did this thru multiple layers of just barley moving the image until i got it where i wanted it. and after doing that i copied each layer individually(which took forever)!!! n put all the imges together to get what your about to see.. hope you guys like it...  :)

D1 Flash Series # Sijan






For my final project in flash, I used 'transition of time' as my theme. For the first video I tried to illustrate the life cycle of human from birth to death and for my second i used the evolution of mankind to show how mankind have developed from early age to the modern world.

So I know I post some videos earlier, but I lost my thumb drive, so I needed to make some new videos for the critique tomorrow, so here are my new videos. My earlier comments still apply to this project, but I did try to make them a bit longer and add a few more details, anyways, I hope these are somewhat of an improvement.

D1 Final 9:30 am Thursday

D1 Flash Final Robinson





My flash had to do with gun violence. my first one i made Tony Montana as a mobster shooting a machine gun towards the "camera". The second i had a little trouble with so it is not as well thought out as the other. the different colored guns are supposed to symbolize toy guns that kids play with and the superhero at the end comes in to "save the day" so to speak.

D1 Flash Series- Hopkins




I used the same concept from my open series on my flash videos. Since it's been a few weeks.. my theme was about how time management is a big stress factor for me and it will either make or break if I am able to complete all my tasks for the day, week, etc..

On my first video I used a clock that I found on the internet that I also used in part of my open series. I liked this clock because its spiral design gives it this warped look and it makes me feel like it is never going to end. I used a different layer for the car and created the motion tween to look as if the car is driving down into the clock.

The second video was a little more fun to make because I was more familiar with flash and the making of tweens. When I was putting it together I was thinking about the scene from Office Space when they take the copy machine out into the field and beat it to shreds. So- like the movie- I put my alarm clock in a field and I took a golf club to it. I added a couple different sound effects to this one to play up the drama.

Here is my flash animation.

Critique in the morning D1

If EVERYONE has their Flash projects on the blog before 9:30 like requested we can plan to wrap up the Final quickly.  So please get your things on the blog NOW.  thanks

D1 Flash Series -Dozier

My flash animations that go along with my open series. An argument for an existence of God versus science being able to explain everything. Roulette animation demonstrates the odds of things coming together to support human life. Quantum Physics animation illustrates and argument heard about quantum physics that I was given by atheists and how things derive. Also mocking the fact that they disagree with magical happenings in the bible but not with their own magical explanations...



I had difficulty with the audio continuing after the animation and into the looping video... I exported as a quicktime but it messed with both movies. The random sun in the roulette and brain at the end of quantum physics. I will try to find a fix and will repost if I can.

I know... and I'm not happy. These projects were tough enough as is and then trying to make something that related to my open series and trying to learn how to use flash within our timeframe and to be at a level of a good enough fundamental basis was extremely difficult given the time that I had (finals week). By all means, I know that my work here is not something that I consider good, but I did come away from this project with a new respect for the program and potential future plans for flash applications and with a better understanding of how to use some of the programs capabilities. I tried learning the program by using numerous youtube videos which for the most part were not great guides, but I did learn most of my flash skills by doing so. Anyways, this is what I got, and I hope you guys have better luck with your projects.

Final Projects

D1 - you can go ahead and post your projects, but please post them in the same blog post.

D2 - you may also go ahead and begin posting, but PLEASE keep all projects in the same post.  If you want to you may create your own blog and post to that and then post a link to it on our blog.  That would probably be best considering how many pieces will be submitted.  Creating a blog should take you no more than 5 minutes and you could continue using it in the future to host your portfolio to show employers.  A blog is a cheap alternative to having your own website.  And you WILL need something if you are going to try to get a job in graphic design.
