The dancing idiots excercise.




This was an excercise where I had to try using masking to create a greenscreen effect with the two dancing idiots. I learned about using the inspector on the mac, I found the timelines a bit confusing at first, but I should get the hang of it eventually. Everything was similar to photoshop, but just different enough to be confusing.

Rubbish font - crumple


This font I created for my excercise entitled rubbish font. It was created from the creases created on crumpled pieces of paper, which I cut out and arranged into the shapes of the letters, adding cracks to the edges of these letters, aiing to produce an effect that the writing is cracks or creases in the paper. The letter styles are a little uneven, I was trying to get a kind of organic feel, trying to make the cracks look almost accidental.

Today I learned about the 3D features in Adobe Photoshop. Doing 3d graphics in photoshop is a little clumsy, it would not really be my first option when making 3D graphics, I would probably rather import the graphics from something like 3D studio max or something similar.

Most of the other effects I already knew about, the reflections, for example, but this particular method for creating a vignette was new to me.
