EXERCISES
Week 1: Exercise 1
For our first exercise we were told to create an infographic of legos or buttons. I decided to use legos for mine and I quickly went to work with it.
I noticed that the legos that I was given were all in pink/purple hues. The color white, in particular, evidently had more.
Since they were legos, I kept wondering how I could build them in an interesting manner that can make them look 3D. I didn't want to just lay them flat on the paper as it wouldn't look too unique.
Here is the final result of the lego infographic. Although I could've done a lot better if it wasn't for time constraints, but I did like how I got creative with building the legos.
Week 2: Exercise 2
For our next exercise we had to create an pokemon infographic based on L.A.T.C.H principles. I never played any of the pokemon games so I had pretty limited knowledge when it came to the series. However, after doing some research I started to understand how it worked. For my poster I decided to focus on the pokemons in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
I quickly started on creating my poster on photoshop after I was done. I drew some inspiration from a few fanart I found that had vibrant yet soft colors.
I searched up the map for melemele island, however, it was a little confusing to look. So I recreated it and simplified the map.
Week 3
I was absent for this week but my classmates updated me about our main lesson, which was animating in after effects to make an object follow a path. I looked up a youtube tutorial which explained the basics of what was taught in class.
Here's the results:
