Final Project

Title: NYC Subway Improvement

Semester/Year: Spring.2024

Software, coding/programming languages: HTML, CSS, Photoshop, After Effects

Description: In New York City, where the subways keep the city moving, there’s a big problem: More and more people are losing confidence in the subway system, which needs improvement. The goal of this website is to emphasize the importance of safety precautions and increase commuter confidence in New York City’s subways

I use Photoshop to create a logo and After Effects to create an animation for a public service announcement.

I designed the logo with a NYC subway image on one side and a peace symbol on the other. The background features the NYC skyline, and I chose bright and bold colors to symbolize the city’s diversity. I chose a classic bass melody sound for the animation symbolizing NYC jazz music.

My Animation: Excitement

Title: Excitement

Semester/Year: Spring 2024

Software: Adobe After Effects

The emotion I animate is excitement, I use elasticity to present it thus the shape I choose is a circle. I made the pacing quick to convey excitement. The project’s most challenging part is making the circle activation feel smooth and natural. And the way I solve it is to spend the time to do it, the one and only way to do it when you learn something new.

My storyboard

Here is my storyboard draft for my animation, the emotion I’m animating is “excited”.

And here is my other storyboard, which I drew by mistake because I misunderstood the assignment.
