The Underdogs (2016) Movie Trailer

For my visual identity project i decided to edit a trailer that was the story of the boys hockey team and how they are struggling to compete with their rivals from Etobicoke. Hope you enjoy

Info Graph

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted so here's my Info graph. Anyways what i decided to do is tackle 3 things at one in a creative way. One way showing was showing were the virus originated from by using the map of the Earth. The second way I'm showing information is by showing what viruses are affecting different species around the world. These viruses are the most deadliest and most common around the world so i decided to use the ones people care about. The third way was showing information about the virus and showing how many people were killed and which animal the virus came from. I think that this graph is simple and it shows useful information and it is something pleasing to look at.

So the logo im going to talk about today is the McDonalds logo. It's so recognizable, I feel like 95% of people that live in first world countries know McDonald's logo. Every time i look at the logo i feel just going out and getting McDonalds. This logo is so simple and what McDonald's has done well was implant it in everyone's head from a young age to an old age.

Next im going to talk about the Coco-cola logo, This of course is the classic logo, also very recognizable. Literally available at every restaurant, store, vending machine, you name it. It's everywhere. I actually think it's more recognizable then Mcdonalds simply because every store you go to you see Coke. For example Grocery stores, convenient stores, most dollar stores, and e.t.c. I wouldn't say it's simple but Coke has done such a good job implanting it into peoples minds. And that's what i'm trying to get across with these two logo's

Hey Guys my video self portrait at the beginning scene is suppose to show the city I live in, and cloud like motion tracked text just showing what this video is about and who made it, FYI imagine that is me. I mainly put clips representing hockey and how exciting it can be at times and that this is the sport I love the most. The reason I put myself walking into the cyber arts room because it has become a part of my life now, so showing this scene is basically showing who I am and what I like to do best which is what I basically showed in this video.

Hey guys the same day i went to O.C.A.D. University i went out to do some street photography, these are my 10 best photos i ended up with. After i got these pictures which I got from Downtown Toronto was I photshoped them and i let Photoshop adjust the colour, tone, and contrast. But the thing I did myself was I played with the vibrance and the saturation in each and every one of these photos. I didn't set it to a specific level i just played around and just looked for the best result.

Hey guys, the other day i went to O.C.A.D University, e fortunately had enough time to visit all six floors and on the 3rd floor filled with great paintings I came across this and it was most appealing to me out of all of them. This photo may look like this was photographed then was edited in Photoshop. But this is actually a painting. I like this painting because it has alot of detail in it, notice at the top of the helmet where you can see the refection, that really stands out and it is one of the reasons why this painting is so great. Not only that but the lighting of this picture, you can tell the light is coming from the ceiling for sure but as its hitting the wooden floor it make a really nice effect, and this artist clearly did not forget the shadows in this painting. I myself honestly find nothing to critique about this artwork. In my opinion this is as good as it gets.

Kinetic Typography

Hey guys, this is my kinetic typography i created in Adobe After Effects Cc, it took me about a week to complete, i chose a fast pace song because i like it when the words move in a fast motion, it just catches my attention better than a sow pace song would catch my attention. I used different types of movements in this video  to change things up a bit, and so it wouldn't look so repetitive. Anyways go check out my video and enjoy.

The song i originally used was

Jersey Drawn in Illustrator

I chose the file format Png because Png recovers the image the best out of all of them I find. The colours compared to Jpeg aren't very different but if you notice the colours actually are different, but its not very easy to notice, you have to look closely for the difference.

The way I traced this image as well as I did was of course using the pen tool, I would just basically zoom into the point where you would see the pixels, I wouldn't go over the edges where you would see the pixels because it would look to big, instead i overlapped the remaining showing pixels with the other colour. But mainly getting it as accurately as possible i don't look at the fact that I had to use the least points because that would make me hesitant on what i wanted to do, by removing that thought from my head it made I easier for me to draw this out.

1. Open up original file in Illustrator
2. Create a layer for to draw over original image and compare between the 2
3. Use pen tool to trace out out lines
4.Use Eyedropper tool to match colours with the original photo as accurately as possible.
5. When finished the Illustrator file was opened up in photoshop
6. Once it was turned into a photoshop file I exported it into a Png

I honestly never really overcame a challenge, i thought i was confident coming out of this and how my picture looked. I already had enough practice using Illustrator in the past and I think i was good on my own. I actually kind of had trouble just matching the colours between the original photo and i think I could've done a better job on it. But overall i'm happy with the way it came out.

Pixel Art

Hey guys this is my pixel art that I made in Photoshop. The first one is Jpeg, the second
one is a Png, and the last one is a Giff. The one I personally think looks the best is the

 Png image, the colours are darker in the Jpeg and there is more detail in the Png if you look closely, the Giff we can all tell look the worst. But this can be based on your opinion and this is mines.

Step by step procedure in making this pixel art.

1. Opened up photoshop and I made a layer.

2. I used a pencil tools and to match the colour in the original photo to the pixel art photo i used the eyedropper tool to match the colours to the best of my ability.

3. When I was done I simply saved this file into 3 types which is Jpeg, Png, Giff

What I made stand out in this pixel art was my eyebrows. My eyebrows are quite bushy so I made that stand out in a pure black.

H ey guys whats up today I want to talk about what I call this video a 369. we'll what I want to talk about is the fact that this video itself without the audio is completely boring, garbage, worthless and there a whole bunch of different words you can think of. So anyways what I think really enhances this video is the music I added into this, and I think that is so because of the mood in this video, it kind of creates a sad mood but it seems happy at the same time, I can't even tell and it's my own video. But I actually wanted it to be a sad mood because of the color of the paint and I think that the color of blue is actually a sad color judging by this blue. Anyways that's all I wanted to talk about today so peace.

Hey guys this is a photo montage that I have created and I want to know what you guys think of it so send me some comments.

Hey guys i wanted to share a cool stop animation film that's about 2 minutes long so click on this link to view the video ---->   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mwQIPodSDY  

So what I think about this stop motion animation video is that it's definetly cool but that's not all I have to say about it, I think that this video was very unrealistic which I think is a good thing because it can inspire others to do so. I'm sure that this person has spent a lot of time making this video and I respect that because if this person did not take as much time to work on this as he did it wouldn't be as entertaining as it was and it wouldn't have as much hits as it got. This person obviously put a lot of work in this video and I know that because of the recognition he got out of it.

The element of design that my photo is capturing is mainly colour because of the way I see it fading from absolute white to blue, and you can even see it if you come across from looking at the picture from the top to slowly moving to the bottom. Another element of design that I have used is texture even though it's in a picture you can still see the texture. I also think that this picture would look symmetrical if it was taken from a different angle and that would make this picture even better.

I think that my picture is awesome because of the way I used these compositional techniques. The technique I used were rule of thirds. Not only did I actually use the rule of thirds I broke it down and actually made it rule of fifths. I think that the way I used this techniques were interesting because the way we photographers use is the rule of thirds, but instead what I did that was visually even more interesting is use rule of fifths.

Another technique that I could use to enhance this picture to make it even more visually interesting is depth of field, I think that depth of field is a very interesting technique because it it gives us a real effect that we in our every day lives can see if you are concentrating on something. If you are concentrating on something then can can only focus on that one thing and what depth of field does is it creates an effect that we can can experience.

                                                           Chess Piece

                                    Scanned Chess piece

                                 Chess piece Photographed 
                                 Outside and then enhanced
                                          in Photoshop

                                 Chess piece Photographed
                                  on Copy Stand and then 
                                  enhanced in Photoshop

I think that the best way to get the most quality out of this sketch is actually take a photograph of this sketch, why because as you can see the photograph of this chess piece is actually very detailed and not only that the brightness is just enough so you don't actually have to edit it. But then again to much brightness can also draw your eye away from the picture because it's physically disturbing to the eye. But another thing that I can see in this picture is that the colours in this picture are not the colours that were used in the original drawing, that is also another con because what I believe is that people should see the author as a pure artist not an artist that Photoshop's all his art and acts like a phony, that's what I think people need to be seeing these days.

For the Scanned version of this chess piece think that this is the right way to go, not the best way to go the right way to go because it shows that you have actually expressed your art the right way, but the con for that is your drawing isn't as interesting as it could be, and that doesn't benefit you of your viewer. So what I would say say in this case is that it is your choice in whether you want to use the best method or the right method.

I think that the elements of design I have used are very effective in the ways I have used them. If you take a look at the way I used my value you can tell if you look closely that it actually has a lot of value. But it also depends on what version of the chess piece picture you looked at because as you can see the value is actually really standing out in the chess piece in what I photographed outside, but that's a different story. Another element of design that I have used is movement because of the way that I that I made the lines look like the are actually sinking in on the right side of of chess piece, even though I know that I didn't really do a good job with it I think that the chess piece itself wouldn't be the same because then these lines wouldn't be effective at all and the chess piece would've looked pretty different is what I would think.

       

I think that this picture has an excellent example of breaking pattern and depth. I think that this is a great example because if you take a good look at it what's being produced on the outside is really bringing attention to to the middle or what's mainly to be focused on. It also catches my eye very quickly because of how illusional it is to me.

I also think that this picture has a good example of breaking pattern because when you are looking at this picture it draws your attention to were this artist wanted you to look at, and right when your eye reaches to the centre of the picture, boom the the pattern ends and your done looking at it. Even though the author put alot of detail into this its meant to be looked at for maximum ten seconds or even less is what I think.      http://imgur.com/pqRe8
