Animation

Since my collage was scattered postcards, I thought it would make sense to animate them so it appeared that they were being tossed onto a table.  Then for the final postcard, which was the focal point of my collage, I animated some of the elements separately to make the animation more interesting.  Since the collage was inspired by the song "New York Soul" by Jon Bellion, I used the beginning of it for the sound portion of the animation.  

Collage

For my collage I was inspired by the song "New York Soul" by Jon Bellion.  The song is about how no matter where life takes him, Jon's soul is always in New York with his family.  I started with a picture of some postcards and then incorporated New York elements into each of them.  I chose this song and theme because like Jon Bellion I am also from New York and even though I go to school here in Florida, New York will always be my home.

Magazine Cover

For this assignment I chose to create the cover to a travel magazine.  When I was searching for a photo of me to use for a magazine I found pictures from when I went kayaking and decided from there creating a travel magazine would be a good fit.  I focused the magazine on Florida so my photo would make sense.  I wanted to make the background image fit the whole cover, because thats how the majority of travel magazines look.  For the text and other images I made sure to add drop shadows to increase the contrast between them and the background so it was easily readable.
