This is the text post which is to compliment the YouTube vlog I made (and as I type this out, is in the process of uploading).
Instead of listing the classes, I’m going to list things I now know how to do because of this term.
- Using tone in my drawings, how to distribute objects around, and how to direct the eye in an 2D compositional drawing.
- How to edit video in Adobe Premiere Pro, and things like frame rate, the difference between NTSC and PAL (PAL is not your pal!), when to make hard cuts and use transitions, when to use the right audio, balancing volume, etc.
- In Photoshop, ow to colour correct photos, create masks and selections. In Illustrator, making strokes within strokes, how to duplicate an action, how to use the Pen tool (which is my favourite thing ever now.). Et cetera. Et cetera.
- How to tackle creating a symbol or logo to represent something without need to be too fancy and the process getting there.
- How to draw more naked people, and different techniques for shading.
- Playing the role of the designer who is trying to please a very nit-picky client, and how different forms of media can translate into one another.
- More time period lectures from the Rococo (I think) to the Post-Impressionism. Also, Neoclassicists hate the Rococo and Baroque!
- How to write stories that I couldn’t care any less to share with anyone, but apparently that is not my choice.
- Why we watch or read the things we do, and who are their creators trying to appeal to and what do we learn from these mediums.
All in all, a pretty sweet term. I had a lot of fun. I’m really happy with the education I’ve been receiving so far, so I have no complaints. All I ask is that I am able to get more sleep. Haha. Soon hopefully. Soon! I’m praying that there are no more assignments that I have to spend endless hours at school during the evening after midnight.
And at this point in time, I am way too tired to wait for the YouTube video to finish its thing, so I’ll leave it here, and you guys can just check it out on my channel until I either embed it in this post, or a new one. Which reminds me, I need to figure out a way to make YouTube auto-post them in this blog. Yikes.
Good night, or even good day to you all.
