Click on the image above to check out the video we saw in class. There are several more examples of creative work using Adobe programs at the Adobe Design Achievement Award winners.

Some of you have been using Adobe Photoshop to design your logos and posters. A couple groups have even tried using Adobe Illustrator to animate some of their work. I have located so great resources for these programs and used them to create a retro version of the Bearcat logo.

Here are the links to the tips and tutorials.

Photoshop Actions - Actions in photoshops can be used to complete a complex series of tasks with one click. You will have to download the shortcut to a folder in your Program folders. I used an Action to create the box above in one click.

Texture to Images - I used this tutorial to give my image a grainy look. Adding a textured layer with varying levels of opacity can do some interesting things to your image. You can also edit

Illustrator Tips - There are some great samples of the many things that you can do with Adobe Illustrator at this link. This includes making customized backgrounds and drawings, this could be very useful for designing your movie posters.

I first want to say is that the animation was very interesting to watch especially the story line even though there were no recording of voice but you can still understand the story of this animation which I seem to enjoy. The part that stands out is when the chef lighting up the cigarette and the boat exploded. The flaw of this animation is that how did the chef was able to survive the explosion. I like the bear cats images especially the boxed Bear cat. I wanna give this try right now

sweet imagery, a rather sadistic concept O_O but enjoyable nonetheless. How long did it take to make all of those videos? and how hard is it to do?

it would be awesome if we could do some traditional animation… but that’d take too much of our time…

Maybe we can try some animation shorts, we will need to do a little more research into what we can do with the programs we have at school. We can get access to Flash in the HS labs.
