During class the first day, I realized that instead of searching for an old poster or artwork to scan in, I would just use some of the ones I had used for a project in the fall of 2010. When stumbling through tons of old files, I found a beauty of a spread... from a presentation in my history and philosophy of design class.
With tips from my professor, J. Shellhorn, I was able to whip up a quick clip of the image in motion. The funny thing is that the chapter in which this image was found is titled, "Graphics in Motion." How convenient?! This is the first stage, a few more hours of quality editing tomorrow... will post that later.

motion graphics: project one
Yesterday was the first day of my summer motion graphics class, and we were given our first assignment. I am so glad to have a project again! Doing creative things on my own is fun and all but I love having the challenge given to me.
Anyways, the project is to take sort of graphics poster, or in my case a spread in a book of Bradbury Thompson's design works, and make it move. The end goal is to visually describe the story of the poster through the bringing things in and out of the frame and positioning the elements to create a loop that will eventually show the poster as a whole.
I will post videos as soon as I get my project going... so stay tuned!

A Fresh Start: Back in the Blogosphere
After successfully accomplishing my first year in the graphic design program, I feel that I need to really start getting my name out there. So I got a twitter account, cleared my facebook profile of all (if any) incriminating photographs and updated some portfolio sites... the only thing missing was a new blog! My original one, http://www.1styeargraphics.blogspot.com, needed a revival.
The purpose of having a new blog is to use the type tips and tools that I've been given to create a more professional, pleasant viewing experience for my followers. I fully intend to post my upcoming summer projects (a few freelance branding opportunities, wedding stationary for some friends, an identity system of an elementary school, and even some painting experiments). But I also plan on posting all of the beautiful/sexy/powerful/relevant works that I find out there.
This blog is going to be a shout out to all of those happy accidents; the things you do or come across incidentally (but not unintentionally) that change the way you think about design.
