Learning About Design 1

I've always been drawn to the world of art. It's funny, I used to be skeptical about digital art, but I have come to realize how mistaken I was! Thanks to my professor and tools like C4D and After Effects, along with numerous YouTube tutorials, I have delved into creating digital art myself, uncovering endless possibilities. It's amazing how my initial doubts have transformed into a deep excitement to share my digital creations with the world. The more I immerse myself in these programs, the more I am convinced of my past misconceptions about digital art - the irony is not lost on me! I am truly grateful for the hands-on experience I have gained both inside and outside the classroom, as well as the knowledge and guidance generously shared by my wonderful professor and classmates. My perspective on digital art and not just art but everything we see daily and the things we tend to overlook, have all undergone a profound change, all thanks to the invaluable use of After Effects and C4D. I found myself paying attention a lot more to little things I never gave much thought to before.

I've had so much information and knowledge shared with me recently. I sometimes feel I may not be able to digest it all, but I'm always hungry for more! there's still so much more to learn and grow, especially in an ever-changing world. I've delved into the significance of keyframing in animation and the effective use of negative space. I've also learned how to optimize my workflow in C4D by utilizing all four views and toggling between them to ensure precise alignment. 

Additionally, I've learned how to use the spline and NURBS to construct diverse objects and apply various effects, opening up endless creative possibilities. The profound impact of lighting and camera placement on evoking emotions and how a scene may be a make or break if all elements are not added or timed correctly.

Now when I watch TV and a commercial or advertisement airs  or when I watch an animated movie, I can't help but think to myself, "Oh, I see how they created that." Wow, that must have taken a lot of work and time, it's so cool.
