Year 2 Graphic Design Academic Progression

If this was a real show, i'd watch the heck out of it. This is only a short blog post but   I was browsing social media when I got recommended a video called 'The Ricochet Splendid' on Vimeo which is a non commercial project created by 2veinte. The animation has this really colourful over the top art style which I adore but not only that it switches between single colour comic book-esque style to much more detailed shots an example being the inside of the Jet with all the dials and switches and backgrounds.  Here is a list of all who worked on this project: Directed & done by ... 2veinte Creative Director ... Pablo Gostanian Executive producer ... Agustin Valcarenghi Animation Director ... Diego Polieri Art Direction ... Pablo Gostanian, Diego Polieri Lead Cel Animation ... Diego Polieri, Fernando Toninello, Juan Nadalino, Israel Giampiero Additional Animation ... Patricio Plaza, Martin Gil, Julian Fumagalli Cel Animation Assist ... Yazmin Hanna, Denise Ci...

Punk Painting, Vector madness & Robot Pop There are many artists and designers that I find inspiring, Corpse tits and her eye candy lewd pieces, Simon Stålenhag with his scenic artwork combining Swedish countryside with futuristic elements and much more. But there is one artist that I find absolutely inspirational and aspire to be like one day, Artem Solop.  Artem Solop creates both digital and traditional futuristic graffiti-esque illustrations that simply stand out amongst the rest, his designs have a sketchy yet neat and contained appeal to them that I adore. I always look at his work that has been hand drawn using ball points and fine liners in amazement hoping of one day being able to create sketchbooks filled with pages the way he does his. The switch up of colours with his drawings I  personally find  adds to the sketchbook feel. The additional use of cutesy simple drawings, shapes and text alongside his more detailed pieces really a...

Basic Video Editing in Premier Pro CC For today's Workshop with Jay we will be working with Adobe Premier instead of working with Cinema4d. I've never used Adobe Premier before so from here onwards I will be a complete beginner learning new shortcuts, tools and uses for this software. As always I am eager to learn about and improve my skills with software so we'll see how today's workshop pans out. 'When you have to juggle 8 deadlines, a social life and work.' Creating a Slideshow. In this workshop we will be learning how to create both a slideshow and a showreel out of all the projects that we have created in previous sessions with Jay. For the duration of this workshop I will be using sample assets that were provided to us to ensure I don't fall behind with this.  As with every project 'save little save often', premier in particular is known to be a thorn in the side with unexpected crashes. to begin with lets open up Adobe premier ...

Creating an Infographic for Heritage Quay Today is our final motion graphics workshop with Sara Nesturuk, instead of learning a new technique we are going to be creating our own infographic animation for Heritage Quay for the Quayside building at the university.  This was an unexpected surprise because all I knew about this workshop session was that we would be picking a 'statistic' and working from it. Turns out the statistic is different segments that we will individually work on in order, I got number 11 which was 'We produce over 5000 archival items for researchers every year.' So what I took from this is to create a box asset and documents that would represent an archive. The inspiration for this is this idea of the box and documents can be found below (disregard the shutter stock watermark, it was a quick screen grab for the purpose of referencing)  Heritage Quay has it's unique colour scheme of white dark grey black and...
