Charaba_12_Photo gallery with Java script

http://ddsgn220.volume11.com/Cathy_Charaba/test2.html

Here is the link for the Photo Gallery created using Java script. This was interesting. I had to shake the cobwebs off of a class I took only a couple of quarters ago. what is nice is I made so many mistakes and learned from them during that time that it actually helped me out on this project! It is all there, you just have to go to the link!

I had troubles with screen capturing but that got resolved. I also had problems with it being verticle rather than horizontal. I am not sure if I will have time to repair that before it is due. I will keep trying though.

Have a great day!

This one took me awhile. First, gathering all the photo's, then into Photoshop for some cropping. Once that was accomplished, I played in After Effects. It took some time getting re-oriented to the program. Once I had put a few photos in, I had a nice rhythm going. This took me into the wee hours of the morning. I decided to see what I could make of working the lights in After Effects but that only turned out in failed attempts. It looked great in After Effects, then it rendered with some mean looking shadows. I had a great time doing this one while going down memory lane with some laughter.

This assignment was using '3-D Coat' program for painting on the texture for a still life 3-D image. The 3-D image came from a program called 'Lightwave 10' which I used previously. I was surprised to find we were working with a different program since we had been using Illustrator for so much. I kept the image simple since when this was created, I was still learning Lightwave and 3-D Coat at the time. The project brought me down memory lane which reminded me just how much I have learned and how far I have come.

I have spent the last few days working on my Digital Designs for another class. They download to Deviant Art.
Here is the address;   http://cathydcharaba.deviantart.com/ 
In the future, when I have the time, I will also add some of this art into Deviant Art and visa-versa. Both classes have been dealing with Adobe Illustrator so I have been able to learn more about the program itself. I get frustrated when there are things I still can not figure out. I will get there, I have hope.

SLAM Magazine entries

 These took some time. They were fun but time consuming. There are elements I have been learning and subsequently re-purposing here and there. I did try to make a snow-flake from a previous assignment but it did not down-size well. I used illustrator for both of these entries however, I did crop the photograph in Photoshop first.

Have a great day.

Illustrator brushes

While in Illustrator, I created more brushes and a composition using them. Again, I had to have play time which only made for a much longer work day. What I am most pleased with is my signature which will now show up on my pieces.

Photoshop Brushes

Today I worked on creating Photoshop Brushes then applied the brushes to a photograph I owned. I have been working in Illustrator most of this quarter so it took me a minute to reorient. This assignment took me awhile to do since I had to explore all the capabilities with them and then make a composition. I am already thinking of the other brushes I want to create

Concept Art

This was so fun. I think I know what I want to be when I grow up; a Concept artist. I did everything here in Illustrator. I wanted the practice and challenge to get to know the program more. I created many layers and the file size was huge. My only regret was not having enough time to do more to it. I wanted to spend more time on the planets and the characters. I enjoyed finding out about the artist Drew Struzan as well.
