Production Experiments
Hannah conducted several experiments with digital design tools to explore effects and layouts for potential use in her lifestyle magazine. In one experiment, she used Photoshop to create a water reflection effect by duplicating and manipulating image layers, adding motion blur and color tints to make a river photo look more realistic. In another, she used Photoshop's fish eye distortion filter and canvas resizing tools to transform a photo of York Minster into a dramatic fisheye view. She also experimented with creating an impressionist painting effect by adjusting color matching settings in Photoshop. Through these technical experiments, Hannah aimed to develop skills for enhancing photos and learn effects that could make her magazine visually engaging.
Alternative Media - Analysis of 'Time' video
The document discusses the author's process for creating a short montage video under the theme of "Time" for a class project on alternative media. Some of the initial ideas generated were using objects related to time telling, teleportation, or finding items/words starting with the letters in "TIME". The author eventually settled on the idea of "Running out of time" and filmed various tasks from unusual angles to make it seem like a time-pressured game. Voiceovers were added whispering warnings about the remaining time. Overall, it was a learning experience to experiment with repetition and voices in a short video on a limited timeframe.
4. Production Experiments
This document describes several experiments Hannah Palfreeman conducted in preparation for creating a multi-page magazine spread about York, England. The experiments included creating a double-page layout in InDesign, generating placeholder text, designing a magazine cover featuring York Minster, creating homepage designs, taking test photos, and making a short promotional video advertisement. Hannah reflects that the experiments provided practice and ideas for formatting pages, but that more detail and refinement would be needed for the final product.

They reflected that placing pixels evenly and color schemes did not match their plans. Successes included ideas for a prince's cape and planning drawings beforehand. Less successful parts included difficulties with Dino Pixel and rushing animations. The student intends to complete their final animations and then work on other game aspects like the menu.

The author created practice animations of princes and princesses using Dino Pixel to help plan their final animations. They reflected that placing pixels unevenly and not including planned elements like necklaces made the outcomes less successful. However, planning ideas beforehand and coordinating colors for the prince's cape were successes. For their game project, the author focused on creating the demo level background in Pixilart and adding animated pixel characters and icons. Successes included learning how to use frames and coordinating colors, while struggles included layer organization and character pixels disappearing between frames. The next steps are finishing the demo level and moving to cut scenes.

Reflective journal
The student created practice animations of princes and princesses using Dino Pixel to help plan their final animations. They reflected that placing pixels evenly and matching colors on both sides were challenges. They were happy with how the prince's cape turned out. Creating ideas on paper first was a success. For their game project, the student focused on the demo level, creating pixel characters and animating them using frames on Pixil Art. They added icons and were happy with progress but struggled with layers and frames occasionally cutting characters. Their next steps are finishing the demo level and starting the cut scene.
Production Experiments
The document describes two experiments conducted by Sumiah Rose to practice pixel animation. In the first experiment, she created a ninja girl character but struggled to animate the legs walking realistically. In the second experiment, she focused on animating a stick figure walking by copying a step-by-step template, though the animation was still imperfect. She reflected that stripping animation down to basics helped her focus on the walking motion, and adding a simple moving background was a good first step towards more complex animations for her video game project.
Fmp ps
Tom practiced different camera angles and settings to improve his photography skills for an upcoming production. He took multiple shots of different angles and experimented with ISO settings to understand how they impact lighting. Tom also completed several Photoshop tutorials, some more successfully than others. The tutorials covered techniques like 3D text, neon lighting effects, and double exposures. While some designs were challenging, Tom felt the tutorials provided creative inspiration and advanced his skills compared to earlier work. He believed regular practice would help him implement these styles effectively in future projects.
6. production reflection
Leah Ellis reflects on her process of creating animated frames for a production. She started by drawing line art and scanning it to add color in Photoshop using a tutorial. She found animating changing word sizes in Photoshop difficult and had to use AfterEffects instead. Later, she improved an explosion scene by adding many colored splashes instead of just flying objects. She also continued using layer masks, which she found easier than drawing colors. On another day, her scanner broke so she had to hand draw images to scan later, but it was fixed before the images could be lost. She finished scenes of a character flying and watching a village from a distance to show his assassin personality.
Reflection of experiments
The document reflects on various digital media experiments including making magazines, pixel art and animation, music production, and Foley sound effects. For the magazine experiments, feedback helped improve the second magazine which had a darker color scheme and single focal point compared to the first magazine. Creating pixel art and animation in Photoshop was found to be surprisingly easy but room for improvement in drawing skills. Basic music was made using BeepBox but copyrighted music will likely be used instead. The film poster experiment demonstrated that a simpler design with a clear focal point was most effective. Creating sound effects at home helped realize the ability to make custom sounds for games. Overall, the experiments provided valuable lessons that will inform future digital media projects.

Final Portfolio
- 2. BOUNCING BALL This project was very exciting to work on, especially when I mostly just did a bouncing ball using a pen and some sticky notes. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to actually get it done. I do hope to learn how to make the ball look more like a 3-dementional ball rather than just a circle moving around in a screen though. One day hopefully.
- 3. BUMPER The bumper was a huge challenge especially when I wasn’t sure really were to begin. I knew I wanted to do something creative but I was always unsure if I had the skill or time to try out the ideas that I had in mine. In the end I decided to take a shot at this. I am Mexican and sugar skulls have been a staple in my culture, so I decided to go with it and have the lines and designs of the classic sugar skull appear before you eyes. It took a long time to get it to a point to where I was satisfied with it, but honestly I do plan on going back to maybe add a little more detail to it. The real challenge was that my computer unfortunately did not have the power to actually make the whole process any easier, but I worked with what I could.
- 4. ANIMATIC The first animatic was something I truly was not sure about. I told myself that it did not matter what the drawings looked like in order to get the work done, but I could not help but care a lot about how the drawings looked like. In the end I settled with the plain drawings, however afterwards I realized that putting a little more effort into my sketches doesn’t really take me as long as I thought. A lot of them were done during my breaks at work in fact.
- 5. ANIMATING A BACKGROUND I found this project to be very entertaining only because there was so much to really play around with. Using the shapes and seeing how a simple flower can easily turn into a spiral hole in an instant really made me want to try all sorts of shapes and combinations. I felt like I could sit on the computer for hours just trying to see what different looking backgrounds I could make. What made the experimenting even more fun was having a friend next to you doing the same thing and watching them try different things that you wouldn’t of thought of on your own.
- 6. COLOR SCRIPT Last year I invested on a Wacom tablet in order to try my hand at digital drawing. My first year with it, was a disaster, however with constant practice and by trying every possible way to find a suitable method of drawing on the thing that met my standards, I now find myself with enough skill to where I am comfortable enough to actually finish a project that I start. The color script for my animated short really allowed me to practice even more and try to see different methods of painting. Thanks to this project I now have a certain method that I enjoy to use when painting any drawing or sketch I do.
- 8. FINAL PROJECT This project really made me take risks that I have never thought of taking before. Nearly the whole time I was conflicted on how I should approach it, showed I film it, or use still photos? I even thought of doing stop motion animation using small toy figures. It bothered me though because I knew that filming it would not get me the look I wanted. I constantly drew and drew again what I wanted to see in my video that in the end I felt like I just had to animate it myself, despite the fact that I had no experience. I tried to do it in after effects, but the Photoshop images looked awkward to me. I even tried the new Adobe character animator, but it really made the characters look like puppets which I did not enjoy. Finally I resorted to Google and searched animation for beginners and where to start. That was when I discovered the timeline function on Photoshop. I have experience with Photoshop so I figured it would be perfect for someone like me who enjoys drawing on a Wacom tablet.
- 9. Although the video is “finished” I know that I am far from where I now want to be. I plan to practice some more animation. I want it to look smoother than how I made it, to do that I know requires a lot more time and patience. Perhaps I will start with small gifs and as soon as I master getting every slight jester and movement right, I will most definitely come back to this animation.
