Catching Up and A Winter Break Conclusion

Hello 🙂 Again, it has been a while, but I’m happy to say that classes started yesterday- I’m excited to be back in Austin. There aren’t many projects that I can update on, as I didn’t leave much unfinished before the break. I have however gotten back to my PSD painting training assignment, which I had put to the side over winter break to prioritize the Study Tips and Wellness project.

Fig Painting in Photoshop

And of course, Study and Wellness! Now that winter break is over, this project has been concluded and I’m so happy with what I was able to accomplish with the dream team (of Athena, Miguel, and Poonum). My last post here was the still assets of the lofi hookem scene. But now even better, here are the animated videos 🙂

sadly the files are too large to upload, so instead here are images that link to the mp4 files

Reflections

It’s a new year which means new projects in my future. Reflecting back on 2020, I’ve grown so much, especially in my experience in design. And I’m so grateful for the community I have met through LAITS and the STA program. My goals for the year are to update more so I have more to look back on, and to get out of my comfort zone. And this winter break project was a great headstart in that. Working in Photoshop for illustration was familiar and let me get into detailed work with ease. However, taking to animation on After Effects was a new, fresh and challenging experience. I’m so happy 🙂
