SXSW Commercial

Assignment- Create a 15 second commercial for the SXSW festival. This is my first project using After Effects.

These would have been better ideas for commercial then what I ended up with:
Music Promo Board 
Grunge
Audio


This video is my "rough draft" it was very frustrating to make. I have just started learning about AE and I did not know how to get things to happen the way I wanted them to.

Project Proposal

We are building a website for Audio for Interactive Design.

The website that I am going to do is a college recruiting website for my daughter, Micaela. My daughter has colleges in other states recruiting her for wrestling. She needs a website that she can direct colleges so that they can view information about her. The website will provide Micaela with a clear profile of herself to direct coaches to. This website will not only show that Micaela is a gifted athlete but she is academically ready for college.

The main goal of this site will be to provide information to coaches and college admission representatives information about Micaela. The easiest way to measure the success of this website is if she gets a wrestling scholarship. Coaches will be able to see a highlight video of Micaela’s wrestling. She will not have to send out individual DVDs to coaches anymore. She can direct them to her website. She can update videos so coaches can track her progress. She will be able to provide hyperlinks to articles that have been written about her in the Pflugerville Pflag.

Major Symbols + Isotype Chart


Assignment- Create a concise, original graphics, ones that can be easily identified for parents, students, and school staff, for five major programs at the Art Institute of Austin.
Isotype (International System of TYpographic Picture Education) is a method of showing social, technological, biological and historical connections in pictorial form.
Inspiration on pinterest
My idea was to have the icons spell MAJOR but I do not think that jumps out at you. I got points off for the font I used. Not heavy enough.

For the icons I took pictures of things I have and used live trace in Illustrator.


Majors- Photography, Fashion, Web Design, Audio, Graphic Arts

AS 3.0


This is my first assignment for Inter authoring. Not very fancy! The assignment was to make something that changed using only one frame and actionscript 3.0. When you click on the button the colors change. I also had to add everything to the stage using only AS 3.0.
