Box Label (Back)

I thought the back label worked fine as well. Same basic design as the front, but the back has the short list so it does not look as nice as the front, but it still looks good and gets the point across.

Box Label (Front)

I think this looks pretty good. It humorfull, and gets the point across. I think the monster on the right side looks pretty good. I oringinally was going to use a picture of the earth being destroyed, but decided that would be too graphic and decided to use the death star blowing up. (Sci-Fi stuff, yeah) I have no real problem with this.

Magazine Cover

So for, this was the best part of the magazine project. I liked designing it, and while its not quite as attention grabbing as some of the others i've seen. I think it gets the point across (the lasers were a nice touch though ;) ) I like the cover, and I like how it looks official. As with the magazine artical, I did have several more ideas to put onto the cover, but they didn't work. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

Magazine Article

I thought this was a clever idead, spread the text so that it's shaped like a football. This was simple, easy, and effective to do. I like how the texts curves, yet its still legible, and the football in the center adds a point to help focus the text. What I didn't like about this is that I had several more ideas that I tried to implement into this project, but I couldn't get them to work. From this piece, I learned how to work with text in Photoshop.

Animated Figure

This worked pretty well for me. To clarify, the images are Noel's but he graciously gave them to me, and I reworked them into a different animation sequence. I like how fluid the entire thing looks, and how great the entire thing is. I wished I could have used my own images, but they were erased, and there wasn't any time left. What I learned from this piece is that animation can run smoothly when done correctly.

TARDIS Cupmation



This was a fun project to work on (with the exception of the unintentional nazi symobl we created which was realized during filming.) I think the cups work really well with animation. The filming was smooth and we were able to fit it into one class period. The only unsuccessful thing I noticed was again the unintentional creation of a nazi symbol. The thing I learned from this piece was that you can create animation by clooding still photos will a fixed camera together, and it looks good.
