Motion graphics is something that I am really interested in developing further. This video here has really helped me to visualise just how much can be done by using simple shapes, it is easy to overcomplicate things for yourself; so seeing something of this kind has reminded me that sometimes simplistic styles can perhaps be more beneficial in creating a sleek looking project.
Semester B, Week 1
Though this week’s workshop was not so much about learning new skills, I found it helpful to have Graham go over the module guide for semester B in more detail. I feel like I have more of an understanding on what I need to do and what to aim towards now. After being introduced to different websites such as Pintrest and and Padlet, I intend to spend the rest of this week researching and getting inspired. I have made the decision to continue with the same topic that I researched for my semester A R&D presentation, marine conservation, under the EYA topic; GoGreen. The main reason for this is that I feel very passionate about the topic in general and it is something I feel could be developed nicely around the theme of water, however I am not entirely sure what route to take the project down just yet.
