Here are screenshots of the airplane promotion project I made with Lynea. I taught the class how to fold my design after Lynea and I made the layout below.
And here's how it turned out:
This is the Creativity Page that I made on our RZINE:
We're almost done with the online magazine! It'll go live next week! I made the creativity page you'll be able to see and I'm currently working with another student on a paper airplane promotion strategy to get the word out on campus. It looks pretty good so far! Today I'll be teaching the class how to fold the plane design that I made. It flies amazingly and looks sharp. I can't wait to see them around campus. Another thing I worked on these past few weeks besides the creativity page and helping out with promotion, was ringling snapshot images around campus of students working. The class all did a part of the snapshot piece of Ringling that will be featured in the magazine. I'll put the video at the end of this post. I also edited my first project on technology. I changed the music(killertracks) and quickened the video speed. It's a lot stronger now and we've updated the link on wix. I've put the new video at the end of this post as well.
I like the cover of our magazine and the creative look on each section. I'm glad we worked separately on the sections so that each section because they all look fresh. That didn't make the whole magazine look separate though. We were pretty consistent in layout because of the smart choice of choosing a layout in the beginning as a layout basis. As a whole, this really strengths the magazine (not to mention all the strong cool stuff we've done). I like the outcome of the magazine and was surprised. We really did an awesome job as a class!!
This is the EDITED VERSION of the first technology project I did:
This is the Ringling Snapshots video featured in our RZINE:
Personally, creativity comes from dreams, imagination from daydreams, and from connections we make from daily situations to unique ideas.
My two favorite quotes:
"Put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support-system for art. It's the other way around." -Stephen King
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." -Henry David Thoreau
My goal to improve my creativity is by keeping a journal/sketchbook of ideas and dreams. I've done my project as a creative what-to-do animation to get more ideas, or rather hone your ability to enhance new ideas.
My cover design is on my wix site for the rzine. I had some troubles with the site, and already prefer dreamweaver over it. The keys for one thing are completely different from what I'm used to. It's hard to change habits! Nevertheless, there are some pretty snazzy things on wix. Here's my attempt;
Emily and I just completed our combined project on Wix. Since I have technology and she has environment, we made a site Now & Then to show how we have technology now that saves the environment verses our old technology. Check out our site!
The project I did above depicts a short segment of what you can do with just a few applications on a mac computer - most of which the majority never uses or doesn't know about. Dig around your computers. You've got plenty of interesting technology waiting to be discovered.
We've ditched choices as a class, so I've decided that new technology is as interesting and important to research.
So my theme is technology. I have to create a piece on something of new technology. I have a few ideas based off of research links that I've gotten from a computer engineer. I'll update you later with the progress of this piece that will either be in Flash or Adobe After Effects.
