Creative Challenge 40

Good afternoon, design friends!

During our class on Wednesday night, I realized that my creative challenges were lacking a key element, which is the very reason why we engage in these challenges. Being creative is not just about being artistic; it’s about problem solving and thinking outside the box while infusing relevance with novelty.

In class, we participated in a challenge where we took a pen and pushed it through a piece of paper to create a hole. Then, we were tasked with using that hole to create a face. I completed the challenge and was so amused by my creation that it made me laugh out loud!

Inspired by this, I decided to take the challenge into Adobe After Effects. I wanted to learn how to remove an object, so I used the Roto Brush tool to paint over the object I wanted to eliminate (the background seen through the opening in the mouth). It was definitely a learning experience!

I will go into detail about how to remove an object in After Effects in my next blog post, so stay tuned. It’s a work in progress, but here is what I have so far.
