I've yet to decide whether the mesh tool is the greatest or most horrifying tool we've played with yet. It was fun to mess around with, but it seems like everytime i try to fix something, something else f's up. Which is why I didn't do eyes. I also started on a hand doing the thumbs up sign, but I couldn't even begin to figure out how to get all the meshes in the right places since they went everywhere the second I added new ones.

The mouth got all f'd up, but after about the 3rd try getting it right I gave up and went with what I had.

All in all...most obnoxiously wonderful tool we've worked with so far. Even if mine came out looking more than a bit odd.

Wash playing with mesh tool...just decided to upload it since i haven't uploaded anything in a while.

Well...here's 3 of the posters...the fourth one won't upload correctly. Will have to put it up when I get home later.

Poster 4...basic

Well...this is the basic format of the final poster I'll be putting together or wed. I'm trying to make this one really drag your eye up and around the page. All of that is kind of secondary to the central message, however, which is gonna be some more text saying something along the lines of "yes we can buy our own dream home" with a subtext underneath the dream home part that says something like "regardless of our means to do so". Will have to add those later, because I'm out of time atm.

Then again...

Due to the lack of pretty pictures on this blog...i guess I'll go ahead and post the posters I have done so far...

The one on the left is the original while the one on the right is the teacher recommended reduction. I haven't had much time to work on this one as of yet, but I dropped one of my 5 classes (4 of which were studios) in order to free up more time. Should hopefully have a bit more time to work on these each time now.


The next one is based off of the old Uncle Sam posters, and is merely a reference to the fact that states will actually start receiving more benefits for the number of new welfarees who register. This means that it would actually start rewarding states for putting more people on welfare...


And the third one that I've managed to finish at this time is based off of another lovable figure, who is actually from around eastern TN...everyone's lovable friend, Smokey the Bear. For some reason while thinking about Uncle Sam I was immediately sidetracked into thinking about the bear. His motto was easily twisted to fit my scheme.


Will hopefully be able to touch up the first one as well as get started on a fourth one before class on monday. Will also work on my sentence structure someday.

Edit: .jpeg images work great on this site, wasn't able to load png's all that well for some reason.

Well..

So...i was sick a couple days last week and didn't make it to class. Thusly (not a word) I had to try to teach myself how to do the animations. I used a couple guides online, but somehow I can't help but feel that I'm doing something entirely wrong. Oh well...it came out to exactly 10 seconds...though I'm not sure if there was an easier way to get there. I'm just gonna have to ask about it when I get to class tomorrow.

So...i originally had this in an entirely different setting...but after photoshop crashed twice on me i decided to simplify the whole thing. On a good note, the crashes taught me that I need to save after every change.

Well..nevermind. For some reason blogger doesn't want to load it. I might have saved it wrong or something, will have to do that tomorrow in class as well : /.

Sick

Putting up the initial image used...hate to admit it but not done with my project for wed. Meant to get it done over the last couple days but due to adverse weather conditions I have been hit by a migraine. Hard to look at a comp screen and can't move too around too much atm. Will finish when I get better and won't be able to make it to class today. Will get someone in class to explain homework.

Image is sideways but can't bring myself to edit it atm. Will add artist info when I feel better...but gonna go puke now.
