Today was my first day as an STA. After reading through the STA handbook with Suloni I made this Basecamp avi with Tate! After, I created a PowerPoint talking about some of the things I learned today. Melissa introduced me to The Noun Project which is where I got all of my icons from.
Made two new objects for Russian!
Clothes pile: (Each cloth was saved as its own symbol and stacked on top of each other.)
Apples: (I made 5 separate apple symbols and duplicated them/made slight edits to make them “peeled”)
Illustrations are always super fun for me! Its super relaxing working with flat colors.
I used warm brown colors because a lot of the Russian classrooms incorporate wood cabinets and tables with lots of green plants! All of the textures are overlays of real photos of wood. There are multiple students present in the scene, so I tried to keep the focus on Polina by having classmates crowding around her and looking in her direction (so popular.).
This week I finished another V Lab! As a completionist, it stresses me out that I can’t incorporate a lot of things into the new site. But I think I’m finally done with V Labs for now, even though the project as a whole is still ongoing.
I also edited some COLA IDs:
That last ID is one of my faves; the color of the man’s shirt compared to the background and the color of the flowers just looks so good!
Finally, I got to do some animation work again (yesssssss) and my task this time was to make the angles for the young child of the Glasses Boy and Awake Girl that was the crawling baby from last time (boy they sure grow up fast!)
She’s basically a combination of her dad and mom, so she has components from both parents in her design. Also I’m assuming she likes cats.
