lynette design

Learning project 1

I think I met the brief for this project as best as I could. It was a steep learning curve for the animation. I think i was a bit unaware of the animation coming up. I was happy designing the CD box, and I wasn't really prepared for the animation. I think I need to work very hard in this unit because I'm not doing the concurrent director unit that everyone else is doing. The thing I need to learn from this project is to get down to work and really try to learn animation skills, because I am very lacking in the most basic technical details, having no animation background. This would help me be able to execute my ideas better, but it has been good to be pushed to learn, and I am quite happy with what I have learned to meet the brief.

I'm happy with the finished product. I think I was quite successful in bringing my ideas to fruition, I like the colours and texture of the finished box, and overall I'm quite happy with my animated gif, I quite like the movement of the stripe, after much improvement. I found it hard to make the web page, I'm doing an internet design unit at the moment and hope to learn about web page design, because I feel I am very lacking in this area. We are learning CSS which I think will be a useful tool to learn to help layout.

I have learned a valuable reminder to get ideas and inspiration away from the computer. I think this is the most valuable thing I have learned and will take away from this project. Although the work must be computer based, I'm very happy with the results I only started to get when I started experimenting away from the computer. I found the reading on handmade graphics very inspiring in this.
