The Amazon River

I chose to portray the emotion calm in animation with thinking about tranquility.  I showed the emotion of a sense of calmness and tranquility by having a small rowboat gradually go down the Amazon River. I used timing to slow the boat down to help portray a sense of calmness. Like when the boat is coming up to a bend in the river or curve the boat slows down some and I did this by tweening two frames. For the use of panning I zoomed a little on the river and had it look like the camera is moving down the river with the boat. The boat is moving down the river and in some spots it goes a little slower. The hot air ballon is moving with the boat or sort of following it like some one is in the air ballon taping or watching a row boat go down the Amazon River.  The end of the animation is using fade so the boat, river, and ballon start to disappear and begins to show the end of the animation which is the credits. So the last frame is just showing the credits which leads to the ending of the animation.

Senegal Shirt Design

Farmers Feeding Families Cover

idea process

I would like my theme to be like have an important part of Senegal's history. In this case I am using the Baobab tree. It is an important landmark to the Senegal people. I read about how they put shrines, altars and even use the hole for a tomb.  in the big open hole in the Baobab's trunk. Also, that in their history it  is said that kings would be crowned under the tree, warriors would take an oath under the tree, and it could be considered a constitution tree. So overall I like to have my theme be surrounded by the Baobab tree and maybe harmony like the two hands shaking and one hand represents Senegal while the other represents America. 

The general clues that relate to Senegal that I would like to use in my T-shirt design is the Baobab tree,  a pattern design that is used in Senegal, people dancing and Senegal's flag.

Active

This design is for the word active. I had the letters of the word look like they are moving throughout the page. Each letter had its own kind of 3D shape to it. i made one of the words active orange to help standout from the background which is a light shade of blue. the other active word is in yellow to brighten the page and help make that one stand out. The letters are in particular location. I tried to make it look like they are moving across the page. also the font i chose is a font that has a lot of curves so that made me feel like that font can help represent the word active.

loud

In this design i changed the font to Rockwell extra Bold. By doing so i made the word bolder and bigger. i expanded it so it would not fit on the page so I put a clipping mask on it. Next i changed the color of the word to red because the color red makes me think of something bold. i put in a light blue background to make the word stand out more as well as making it somewhat in the center of the page.

Stable

This design is for the word stable. the design i made makes me think of the word stable because everything is balanced. when I think of the word stable i think of a balancing scale and the word Stable. so for my design i chose a word font that i think looks stable/balanced. I also made it so that that each of the letters in the word are the same size. Next I made sure to have the word practically centered on the page. the background I made is half white and half black to make it look equal and then i changed half of the letters of the word into either black or white. So if the background is whit the three letters on that side will be black and if the background is black the three letters will be white.

Quiet

This is what I designed for the word quiet. For the shape I changed the font into a font called chalkboard. By doing so I also decided to have the font sizes change. From the top of the design it goes from a big font and by going down the font as well as the word gets smaller and smaller. I also changed the color of the words as they get smaller. The biggest word has the brightest color tone of white. As it goes down the color tones of white get darker resulting it being a dark grey tone to almost being black. 

The size is another thing I changed in my design. I changed the size by having each of the words 'quiet' be a different size.  In this particular design the word gets smaller and smaller when it is descending down the page. The location of the word changes as well. The first word of Quiet is at the top of page and the smallest 'quiet' is at the bottom of the page. I used a black background to have the words become the focal point as well as to show how that word gets smaller and darker.

Patterns

The focal point in this design is also a bird. It stands out biggest it is the biggest object as well as the brightest. Also the opacity of the bird is 100% while the other objects around it is less than 100%. I made the bird the focal point because it represents the act of giving. The bird is basically giving a flower.
This design relates to the theme because when I think of generosity I think of someone giving someone else a flower to make that person happy as well as person that is giving not really expecting to get anything in return. The bird then represents 'giving'.

Lettering

The focal point in this design is the big letter 'G'. The bigger 'G' is the focal point because it is the biggest object in the design but also because it is the like the brightest. The smaller 'G' in the right hand corner has your eye travel up and see the bigger 'G' but also when looking closer at it you see that there are smaller words in the 'G'.
This relates to the theme generosity because the letter I decided to use is the letter that begins the word 'generosity'. Also that I used a quote that represents what generosity means in the background and in the big letter 'G'. The message is, "The habit of giving freely without expecting anything in return".

Lines

The focal point in the lines design is the bird. The bird is the focal point because it is the brightest object on the page. It stands out basically because of its bright white outline and that the tree as well as the hands are a little bit duller and have a lower opacity. What also makes the bird stand out is the dark background.
The design on this page relates to generosity because of the images. practically all the images on the page are related to the word generosity because it is like the word 'giving' which is a synonym. The hands are placed to look like they are 'giving' something, in this case a tree that is behind the bird that is flying with flowers in its beck to symbolize 'to give'.

Fills and Gradient

The focal point in this design is the hand holding the heart. What makes it stand out is the size and the colors. The size makes it stand out because it is basically the biggest object in the design. The hand is placed on the lower right corner so it makes your eyes travel up to what the hand as well as the heart that the hand is holding it. The colors of the hand makes it stand out too because of the different values of grey used to help make the hand stand out.
This design relates the my theme because since my theme is generosity I used the hand to symbolize giving. The hand is then holding out a heart which is like giving someone something that will make them happy and realizing that you can give without expecting anything in return. The word generosity in the heart relates to my theme basically because well the theme is the word generosity. So overall the design is like a definition of generosity of giving anything to anyone with heart and not really expect anything in return.

Folder Design

In my design I used shapes, patterns and words. Everything in the design relates to me in some way. Overall I did this design because it reminds me of the outdoors and nature. I love being outside and the widespread open space. The leaves  with the floral pattern over it remind me of spring, summer and fall when the flowers are out and the leaves are on the trees changing colors from summer to fall. The trees and the bird relate to me because I like being in the woods or forests where birds and other animals are. The circle in the back round represents the moon and is covered by the night sky with different values. 

The design is unique because of the placement of the patterns, shapes and images. I placed the leaves on the bottom because it reminded of the season fall when the leaves are all falling of the trees meaning winter is coming. I put the floral design over the leaves to represent spring and summer when the flowers are out and blooming.  I used an image of a tree to help make my design unique because i used the detailed part of the tree as well as the outline. I put the white bird standing on a tree branch to show contrast between the dark sky and the dark tree. 

I believe the best part of the design is the foreground. The foreground I believe is the best because to me it really pops out and I like the lairing of the leaves with a floral pattern over it.
