Palatino



We began a project focusing on a specific font and analyzing its characters to determine those that are most distinguishing. Once we've gathered information for our fonts, we design a series of posters that display the information in a clear, organized way that is visually engaging and demonstrates a strong hierarchy. This image is an example of the most basic way to present the entire Palatino font.

Motion Graphics

Our class has taken a two week hiatus from our current project to learn and gain experience in motion graphics using the Adobe After Effects software. We created a short video about 30 seconds that animates the five day weather forcast in an interesting and engaging way.While getting familiar with the software was difficult as first as I had no prior experience, I feel I have learned so much in such a short period of time. I have thoroughly enjoyed this short project, more than was intially expected, because it is so different from any project I've done in the past.

Looking forward to similar projects in the future.
