DanielWestcott_Magazine

Hello! This is my last entry for this project! I had a lot of fun with the magazine cover. I think it's a clever idea to have a magazine with two cover sides, one about the campus, the other about the surrounding area. It'd be a big help for kids looking at colleges but can't afford to visit or just want to know more about the college. Anyways, it was a fun last assignment and I had a fun semester. My art certainly grew, I hope that shows.

DanielWestcott_Propaganda

The propaganda project was okay. While it was cool to make a propaganda poster for a topic I actually cared about, being limited to a constructivist artistic style wasn't fun. It was boring and I felt limited with what I could do. It's new and I was glad to try another style but the limits the style itself had were too much. This project would be more fun without the style restriction.

DanielWestcott_Logos

After a shaky beginning with my sketches not being the best or well thought out, I was able to brainstorm new ideas and run with them. This project was fun and I was able to explore Illustrator and learn a lot more about this program. It's a nice way of showing where I'm at with this program, that I can figure stuff out if I want something in my design. I enjoyed this project and it will be something I do for fun or a job in the future.

DanielWestcott_Calligram

This week's project was fun! I was able to recreate one of my favorite paintings. Illustrator, at first, was difficult to use and I didn't really understand how to use it, but I was able to have fun and figure the program out as I worked through it. This project was time consuming but fun at the same time. It's a nice, relaxing exercise that I can do to anything if I get bored in one of my other classes.

Westcott_HTML

Shalom!

This week our assignment was nice and simple. I would say, a much needed vacation after the torture endured during the Rotoscoping project. HTML came very easy for me and I was able to complete it through class time. I enjoyed this assignment because coding is always something I wanted to try but I never knew where to start. This project has shown me how to design through html and I intend on doing this again because I find it fun.

Westcott_Rotoscope

Bonjour!

This project, if I'm being completely honest, was the biggest pain in my ass. Rotoscoping or animating in any way, shape, or form is not for me. The project, although it turned out fine, consumed my life for the past 3 weeks and was not fun. I ran into a bunch of obstacles, like Photoshop deleting my entire project and having to restart, having to balance this project with all of my other classes, and finding time to sleep throughout this assignment. Some people are born to do animation, others are not. I am one who is not and I'm 100% okay with it because I find no enjoyment in this at all. At least it's over and I can sleep again.

Hello!

This project was really difficult and with the shorter time frame to complete it made the project a lot more difficult. I'm not sure, maybe it's just me but humans should stick to being human and toys should still to being toys because seeing this crossover is a little frightening. That wind key toy robot you heard your father talk about playing with as a kid, finally grew up too.
