JQuery Slideshow

http://ddsgn220.volume11.com/JanineKelley/
In this assignment I was trying to customize a jQuery slideshow template. I replaced the slideshow's pictures with my own pictures and added a div container and a footer. I downloaded the slideshow's original site files and customized them in Dreamweaver. I used Photoshop to convert the images to the correct sizes to fit the slideshow.
I'd say I did a good job on this assignment. It's been a while since I actually used Dreamweaver, so I was surprised that I remembered as much as I did. The assignment was definitely easier than having to create a website from scratch (which I'm not sure I could have done as successfully, or at least with out a huge headache, since it has been so long since I used Dreamweaver).

SLAM Cover Designs- Assignment 3

I really wanted to create eye catching designs that looked almost like paintings instead of graphic designs. I've been experimenting with splatter brushes and filters lately and really wanted to incorporate those into these designs.

I used both Illustrator and Photoshop for this assignment. I got a couple images from Pixabay and then did images traces on them. Then I changed the colors to less realistic and more artsy colors. Then in Photoshop I applied a few filters to the owl and then used a few splatter brushes to complete the look. For the lion in Photoshop I used the smudge tool to smooth out the lines to look more like actual fur. 

I'm really proud of both of these designs. I'm really happy with how they turned out. 

Animated GIF- Assignment 2

In this assignment I was trying to come up with a unique, fun design. At first I thought about doing a humorous GIF, but then I decided to go a different route and go with more of a playful design. To create this GIF I first created the background image and then created separate layers to "animate" the water. I then created the dolphin and put it in between two different layers so that it would look like it was diving out of and into the water. 

I think I did an okay job on this assignment. I would have liked to create something a little more detailed, but I decided against it because frame by frame animation for this assignment would have taken quite a bit of time. 

Animated Brush- Assignment 1

On this project I was trying to use somewhat realistic brushes so that they blended well with the original image. I downloaded a set of firework brushes and painted them onto my original image, then animated the brush strokes in After Effects.
Overall I think I did okay on the assignment. I wouldn't say it's one of my best or favorite pieces of work, but it's definitely not my worst.
