“Cold” Animation Final Project

Spring 2025

Software: Adobe Animate

I animated the emotion “cold”. I chose to use the shapes of squares in a cyan color to match with ice cubes. As well as with the ice stage in a rectangle form. I changed up the remaining squares with white as a snowman is built with all its features of black circle eyes, nose and stick arms. The most challenging part was transitioning from one edit to another and trying to make it smooth at a normal pace, so I used the classic tween after introducing my word and background.

My Final Audio Project – Final Edit

“Morning Commute Into The City”

Spring 2025

Edited with Audacity

I am depicting a morning commute into the city from queens as it resonates with what my ideal commute sounds and would look like on a normal basis. I combined 7 different audio sounds. I used the Tempo , fade in and fade out effects to differentiate and transition between sounds. I also used the envelope tool to layer mix a few audio sounds. The most challenging part was thinking of the best sequence to compose the sounds in order. So I arranged the sounds in order by the closest means of transportation near where I live.

Blog Post 4 – My Audio Project

Update: I changed some sound effects to compose a commute. I added the tempo effect to differentiate between sounds. And I used the fade in and fade out effects to transition between sounds.

Audio First Edit – Blog Post 3

This is my first rough draft of my audio project so far. I am composing a day in the life of the rush hour commute into the city. I used a running sound effect and vehicle sounds to give a sense of urgency to get on time.

Below are my sources so far into the project:

Final Composite Image Project  – Spring 2025

For this project I created a composite image of a camel with a cat navigating through the desert. I used the gradient tool to create a bright red and orange sky to define the harsh environment of the desert. I then used the blur effect around the camel and cat to show contrast between them. And how hard their journey through the desert is.

Composition Image – Blog Post 1

This is my first time using photoshop. For this image I created a sort of toy style phone machine from the overlapping of element shapes and colors of blue, red, yellow, green, orange and to end with black.
