Project 1 Schedule
- 9.25 – SUBMIT P1; P1 Final Presentation; Begin P2; Lecture: Principles of Motion Graphics
Final Presentations: For our first project, present to the class your concept and final project. If you run into issues within Vimeo, do not worry about uploading the final to Vimeo, but upload to D2L Project 1 assignments folder. For your rationale/presentation, describe the concept (narrative, mood, contrast, and formal) and formal choices. Remember to include both the name of your typeface(s) and WHY they were selected to support your concept. All of your choices should support how you want your work to feel.
AE – Adobe MAX Conference Sign-Up
We will not have any new demos in AE this week as you finalize P1 and begin P2. Next week, we will continue with image masks, the pen tool, bezier shapes, adjustment layers, and effects.
This week, I would like you to sign up for the Adobe Max Conference (free online) and begin looking at the sessions (below) in After Effects (or Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator) you would like to attend end of October.
Adobe MAX is one of the biggest events for graphic designers, VFX artists, web designers, and more from around the world to come together and explore what’s next for creatives.
