Animation

 Animation

April 1st - Luke Bettano



    The Gif above was produced using animation in photoshop. This project seemed very daunting at first, because of the amount of frames, and amount we had to keep track of. I struggled to use the features and made mistakes when adding layers and had to go back and fix them. After trial and error, and applying the lessons from class, I was able to make an animation. I knew I wanted to something representing balance, so I told a story about two opposites coming together, the moon and the sun. I attached some existing similar gifs  found, but I wanted to make mine different to them. The animation depicts the sun and moon in the usual positions, about to set and rise again, but the this time they start dancing and playing around. They chase each other, mimic each other, bounce each other, and more. I found 2 good vectors for the sun and the moon, and they are attached below, I put them over a nice sunset background because that is when the sun leaves and the moon comes out, so it makes sense they would meet there. I added my logo from one of my previous blog posts in, which is attached below. I also added text for the end and for credits. Although the animation seems simple, It still is made up a lot of frames, and I still made mistakes making it. Animation is very hard work, and it was great to learn about the process that goes into it, I hope I improve.

Propaganda Poster

 Propaganda Poster Luke Bettano - Feb 26      I created the Propaganda Poster above using adobe  illustrator. The figure in the image is me, and I am promoting hydration. I chose to make a poster promoting hydration because 47% of Americans don't consume enough water, and staying hydrated is an important for health, and it is something a lot of people forget. I used the pen and pencil tool to create all of the layers for the poster, the first thing I did was recreate an image of me, that I really like, which is attached below. After recreating the image, I used the pen and pencil tool to create a glass of water and an ice berg. I used coolants.com to get text that matched my vision. I wanted the image to have an ice like feel because that is associated with water and hydration, and cold water is refreshing, so I wanted the poster to make the viewer long for refreshment, and to hydrate themself. I kept the background white, because like the drink of water, this i...

Somewhere

 Somewhere Project  March 20th 2024 - Luke Bettano      The image above is me photoshopped with 3 former US presidents. I was originally going to do an image from a movie, but recently I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Whitehouse, so I wanted to an use an image from that experience. The image is me in my outfit, and I knew it would work with a photo like the one chose. The image I edited into was taken at Arlington cemetery, inside of an outdoor theater. I knew it would be challenging to edit all he different aspects of my appearance, in regards to light and definition, so as expected this process took some time. I am happy with the result. I selected an masked myself from my own image and placed it in an open spot in the president's image, so it looked like I was one of them. I adjusted my location and size. In order to implement myself into it I had to apply blur to myself, change the darkness of my suit, and change the hue and saturation to appear m...

Portfolio, Final Blog

Image
 Portfolio 4/25/2024 - Luke Bettano       The pages below make up my portfolio for my 10 projects that I felt best represented my experience in FMX this semester. This was my last project and will be my last blog post. My portfolio served as a way to represent my best works, and was made using Adobe InDesign. The color palettes was analogous, and made using light blue and dark blue, with white as an important color too. The pages were white because that best complimented the work, and blue is my favorite color, and matched some of my works. I used Futura for the headings, gotu for the body, and minions pro for the page numbers. I made a cover and a back page. I started with stable of contents, and about me section, where I introduced myself and my work. I had one project on each page, except the logo and tag brush were on one page. I used light blue for the headings and page numbers, and dark blue for the body text. I believe they blended together nicely. All of...
