Request: Create graphic elements of a grocery bag filled with groceries.Draw specific groceries raw and then draw a plate with completed meals. Once all the graphics are drawn, create a 3 second intro animation of the grocery bag, and finally create a logo version of the graphics in black and white and in color.

Professor: Lydia C. Steinman

Project Managers: Suloni Robertson

Process: After having meetings with Professor Steinman a plan was made on how to approach the branding for this class. First, I was to make the graphics to be used in an intro animation that would be displayed in the beginning of the student recipes that would be used in the website. The second task was to actually animate the graphics and finally create a logo representation of the graphic.

First I had to establish the chalk style to be used for this graphic.

Create all the elements of the graphic and have them arranged to get approval from professor. This process was long and involved having to do many iterations to get the overall feel just right.

Finally:

After getting confirmation from Professor Steinman, I was given the OK to proceed with the animation. After I created the base animation I passed it along to the audio team where Jacob Weiss added in the sound effects and passed it on to video team where Griffin Smith finalized the necessary changes.

The Result:

After the animation was completed I was ask to create a logo version of the graphic. This means something cleaner that when scaled to different sizes would still be recognizable. I was asked to create a black and white version and a colored version. I created 4 drafts for Professor Steinman to choose from.

Request: Create 2 images for the What Jane Saw website. 1) Take the green screen images of the staff who worked on What Jane Saw  and place them inside the What Jane Saw Exhibit. Add some stylization to the image. Image to be featured in the New York Times.

2) Create a line up of all the What Jane Saw staff inside one of the museum rooms with ipads over their faces.

Professor: Janine Barchas

Project Managers: Suloni Robertson

Process:

1) First was to retrieve the green screen images of the staff that were taken of them observing an imaginary object.

2) Next, was to key out the green screen and mask out their feet so I could place them into the exhibit.

3)Then I stylized it using a technique taught to me by Suloni. This stylization required giving the image a tint and adding noise., then adding a color and texture over the clothing to make it stand out. Next, adding small details to highlight features like the hair or clothes and then highlighting figures with a white stroke. Lastly, was to adjust the color of both the images of the staff and of the exhibit. I played with perspective and made the figures smaller or larger according to their location in the image. Adding shadows was  the finishing touch so that the room looked to exist in a 3d space

.

The final result

Final Result as seen by the world

For the Second image, a similar process was done as far as retrieving the green screen image and cutting everyone out and placing them into a room. This image though didn’t require the stylization but rather lining up everyone who worked on the project together.
