Title: Blooming excitement
Spring 2024
Since flowers and bright objects are correlated to happiness and excitement, I made a cute bouncy animation of one becoming bigger and happier. I wanted to add shape layers but my adobe crashes every time I used them. So I had to draw the frames myself. This was a fun process, but the hardest part of it was working with graphs, I wasn’t sure what I was doing at times.
The emotion I’ve chose was excitement, I wanted to show someone getting too excited to the point that they burst and end up tiring themselves out!
heres my concept sketch as well.
for my audio project, I read and gave my interpterion of the poem “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughess in the style of a calm podcast. I chose to read a poem due to my love of Langston Hughess works and literature in general. I used several effects on this project such as fade in, fade out, and the envelope tool.

For my audio portrait, I read and interpreted the Langston Hughes poem, “Dream Deferred.” When we get to the editing part of the project, I’ll add music and simple fade ins and outs.
I forgot to add parts of AI work, I’m struggling with illustrator due to it being extremely different than any program I worked with. I’m attempting to make my piece off old school ios icons and the ocean yet, I can’t seem to work well with clipping tool.
I already finished my self portrait, but working in photoshop was honestly so eye opening. Photoshop works just like my art program, Clip Studio Paint. Working with new brushes was a bit hard, but i started to get the hang of it.
I’ll include the portrait into this entry too.
My self portrait represents a lot of important things to me. The elements I added were a Sea angel, Candy sharks, Ponyo, the silly drawing from Turning Red, and myself! Both my moon and rising signs are water signs, which I feel like makes me more connected to the ocean! I adore sea animals such as sharks and sea angels, which I tried intergrading into the piece with the candies and figurines! I also added a reference to my favorite movie Ponyo and Turning Red too. I love both these movies so much, due to how they inspire me to always create art.
