This is my piece representing the experience thus far in the program. Not to be immediately be judged as a negative take on the venture so far. For some context, i’ve never been to college. I went straight from HS to working full time to help support my family. From there I learned to design for clients on my own. Been doing freelance designing for the past two years and realized I have hit my ceiling on what I can learn on my own, and I want to be better, more well rounded as a illustrator and designer.
This program is rigorous. I feel like my mind has been beaten into ground meat trying to keep up with thew workload. But its a good feeling, assuming this is the same gratification you get when working out at a gym. Pushing yourself to see how much you can take. Frankly I never cared for physical exercise so this is my equivalent. If my eyes can do what is being done in my art piece it probably would by now. So this is a mental projection of my stress level. Loving it, but going a little crazy in tandem.
I used a few mediums in this. I drew the initial piece on paper, but then threw it in procreate to make edits and add more detail, then threw it into Photoshop to add type. Then into a mobile software to edit down into a short animation with effects and music.
