I put an obscene amount of time into animating these tiny cars and I don't really want to look at this ever again. There are very few things that fuel my anxiety like the sheer concept of animation does. I probably took years off my own life. Also my throat hurts. Today kinda sucks. I'll never know what these paragraphs were supposed to be about. lmao

The multiplicity project was fun but I don't have a whole lot to say about it. It didn't really take that much time to do, and the only hard part was working up the nerve to go rent the camera. Of course the guy printing it made it look kinda stretched and awful but not much I can do about that. I also realized that my posts have like 7 views each... who are you people?
I specifically remember reminding myself to upload this the day it was due and yet I still forgot until now because I'm a dummy. Probably will get some points off but whatever. I can't even remember if I enjoyed doing this or not because the most memorable part was when I went to print it and the dude corrupted my file. That was pretty funny. My mom didn't think so though.
I like the idea of a propaganda project a lot, I just hope it doesn't start any actual arguments in class. Gun violence has always been pretty important to me living in the south and going through conservative schooling. Sadly it's really easy to come up with victim statistics now. I was kinda nervous going out to print something political, but the lady there said she really liked the message. That made me feel a little better about my work.
I really liked the idea of creating logos for fake companies in this project. Although, it was a bit difficult to want to use the 3d effects since I'm more biased to cartoony, flat images. I'm not sure if it's anything I'd want to pursue career wise, but it was interesting to play with the effects. The hardest part was praying that my computer wouldn't crash while rendering. That and having to talk to the person at the copy place.
Working on a calligram for the first time was pretty intimidating at first, but I enjoyed how the end result turned out. Illustrator in general is a bit wonky to use but hopefully I can get used to it. I did it in color originally, but liked the gray scale a bit better, so i ended up just uploading both.
First project of the semester made using Dreamweaver. I was really excited hearing that this was the first assignment, since coding was one of my favorite classes and I already have experience with html. I almost wish the rest of the class had more coding projects planned in the future, but at the same time it's extremely stressful. The entire program corrupted itself towards the end and I almost lost everything. That's probably an omen.
