Final Project/Self-tittled 

Idea Development

Before doing the project, the teacher asked us to fill in a quick biography of ourself and our ideas on making the poster.

The teacher also asked us to provide with some references

 

Sketch

After sometime thinking on how i am going to make the poster i came up with something and started my sketch by taking a picture of myself which me looking at the sky covering half of my face with my hand because of the shining sun

After taking more time to see if my mind can come up with something i began to execute my ideas into the poster.

Digitization

My original plan is just making me looking at the sky with a bird passing by my hands but, i figured it is not enough and it is to plain so i added more birds and changed the background into a sunset.

I did not find any difficulty while doing this project although i was not sure if this will be approved by the teacher or not

Final Poster

The main tittle of my poster is freedom, because since childhood i cannot do anything that makes me happy as my parents strict parenting and this is also for all other people that deserves to be free to express themselves and be happy with their current situation or make it better

Animation

After i was done with the poster, i continue my journey to animate it in After Effects and because i am very familiar with the software i was able to do this animation with no difficulty.

I animated almost everything, the background i give it a glow to make the sunset stand out, the text i gave it motion tile and play with the position, and lastly i give a glow to the birds and use linear color key to give a unique opacity transition and play with the position to make it move.
