Analogue Communique 3D Lesson 3






    
 金gloden

      According to the content of a lesson, I probably finished my work, but a light font is very simple, which makes me have a new idea, add some new elements, such as paper, or the background or the like. I found some black cardboard, hair cut these papers so that they bend to form a golden style, so that we can better to let people know the meaning of the word. nick gave me a lot of advice, such as new materials, to replace the white background wooden background. Also, I deliberately cut a label stuck on the font, the font so that the above additional fused to the following explanation, nick for my following fonts do some evaluation, he thought I should re-do those newly added section he felt that these fonts, you should let others misunderstood the meaning, should be changed to allow others to see clear fonts section, I also found the process of doing a tag is too large, not very consistent with the expression of the font, so I change the outside of the font, but also produced a new label, there is a white pen to write on a word. The work I was very satisfied, nick gave me a lot of help, give me find a lot of material, and ultimately let me finish this satisfying work.

My pattern design 2

eye


 This pattern is designed in the previous manuscript to be improved, beginning only draw an eye, it blooms into a flower,, painting drawing eyes to a lot of tattoo work, with simple lines, and before the works, I like to add a new element on the manuscript, such as a dotted line, a circle, and the halo effect, so the work is more complete. In fact, during the most important idea is that I will try to add some new elements, feeling bad go modifications. I am in the process of every change, and will have a new idea, the reason for such a creation is complete will take some time to continue to improve and modify, and I in the creative process learned a lot.

My logo design 2

Edwin


      Edwin is my English name, I really like to do something about the name of self-design, this was a long time ago when I painted manuscripts, manuscript paintings will be some time is difficult to link the balance between the letters, I learned to creative thinking in many American graffiti works, I soon finished manuscript. But I want to make this look like a logo, so put him into the AI do, my first thought is to do exactly the same picture of the feeling, but then felt the picture is too simple, I just try to do a blur effect, the overall feeling will be much better, the picture does not look so empty also followed.


LEI TANG



LEI TANG is my Chinese name, each of these is very simple font has a lot of vertical lines, so I thought that I wanted to better myself these vertical lines together, so when the vertical composition longer pull, highlighting the advantages of vertical lines. Another point is that a lot of horizontal line, I just put all the horizontal lines are reduced, so that the font looks more slender. Finally found the time to look at the word put together feels too long, so that the two letters staggered, one last look, I'm in the middle of a new straight line, so that a more complete picture. Finally, there is the shaded part of the frame, so probably completed the logo design.

After Effect:GDRAVEN

Rain from LEI TANG on Vimeo.

   This video I want to be a feeling of rain, making neon font effect in the process of doing, typeface spent a lot of time to do, in order to font neon effect, I used the three added together, a backgrounds, when a layer of red luminescence frame, another layer of white text. After completion of the part of the font, I began to add special effects, I chose the rain effects, then the number of raindrops tune a lot smaller, but also added some feeling of the wind, so that better natural rain, and then I text terms plus special effects, special effects inside a ripple effect, and then drag the text to adjust the size of a small speed ripple, ripples again appeared slower and picture appear more natural, more real.




This video is the basis of the original logo on the figure, coupled with a photograph in front of the treatment and previous to do the animation process is not much difference, followed by the addition of a new image, I used the mask way to hide while he adjusted to the way again slowly emerged in the last fonts added new effects, a lot of the effect is the first time I use, I want to try to do some different effects, in order to allow the screen more interesting, I try to use different effects.




  This is a video I made through the network effects tutorial, interesting to note that in the course of my treatment, I found a new plugin called optical flares, there are many amazing light effects, you can feel free to use some of the cut light effect, I added light effects, keyframe, around the edges disappear, copy the first light effect, which is the second light efficiency and light effect when the second flash will hit Font broken, then I began to add their own crushing effect, an adjustment of a slowly, so that the impact of the process more natural, in fact, this video is not difficult, according to slowly step instructional videos, will soon be completed .

Design work




花


First, create a file, make a black bottom, and then create a circle with the ellipse tool, chosen as the circle, right - changing - are converted, be adjusted according to their own circle size, you can preview to see the size is appropriate, the horizontal and vertical expansion of a do, in order to expand the circle made, and make a vertical displacement of the copied circle selected, press ctrl + d copy, multiple copy 5, select the copy several rounds, each filled different colors, color change after completion, grouping, and then choose the implementation effects - distortions and transformation - transformation, set the parameter adjustment finished, and then right after the last completed - transform - zoom, zoom out to the circle to complete these works.

Character design

Robot


This robot is a creative online search found the time, I do have an interest in one of their own robot, his head theme is based on the shape of sound design, the shape of the body part is selected as a very creative side to hand the is typical robot hands, my legs designed in a more fun feel, dressed in trendy clothing robot, part of the eye I started with the idea of a grid feeling, but tried after feeling a little stiff robot, no human element, so I decided to put the grid into the eyes of people's eyes, the last in terms of color, I still chose the dark gray and light gray to complete the creation of the entire robot.

After Effect:AllK.Win&NooD.Loss

 


This video is my ae on the basis of prior design AllK.Win & NooD.Loss logo on the graph to make animation, in fact, without this there is no animation special effects aspects of the process, are by the most basic method of treatment. I put all my layers into ae inside, in order to make these effects, I do a lot of attempts, it becomes such a big circle while another smaller ring, a ring or another ring disappear quickly followed. Repeat this process to complete the final effect. Many attempts, there are many dissatisfied, so adjust slowly I also learned some new methods debugging.

My pattern design 1

Eye

    The painting is based on a manuscript do a vector, little change, mainly because some pattern in a block in the painting to fill the entire block. I am more like the eye pattern, in addition to the eye I still feel kind of unique charm Among this, the eyes will shine, so I put the whole light to visualize, in the last corner on the edge of ancient Chinese paintings used in construction water chestnut, just think it would look more unique, the whole picture is more diversified.

round

      This work is entirely my own imagination to do, in the works of the water chestnut I painted Chinese ancient buildings, I separated to re-do a painting with a copy made of a method of rotating fan in scalloped edge plus some new pattern, and finally found one of the most obvious problem is the screen there are a lot of places, so I added the two sides of the eagle's mouth, it is the picture more interesting.

My logo design 1




  AllK.Win&NooD.Loss

The logo design is a lot of network disk design networks are typically used, I also learned to draw a dotted line in the instructional design of the software, just think of the design of the logo design, I like gold, so in color, I just with different depths of gold to create, to make the picture more coordination, I did a white background aspects and dark gray two different styles, I think I might I have a lot of space to adjust in terms of color.

After Effect: Final



I basically completed all my ae animation, in fact, the whole process I learned a lot of things, such as a variety of text effects there are some basic tips on how to connect to one screen, add background music, and I All ae's job is also customary to operate, in fact, when I use the camera, found some fundamental problem is that I do not use it, it is more difficult to control, as well as to control the bad effect on poor, so I think this is one of the most serious problems.
