16.09.2023 / Retake Week Vanessa Kei Kurniadi (0360525) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media Project 2B: Photo Manipulation PROJECT 2: PHOTO MANIPULATION INSTRUCTION *Only Apply for Project 2 - Photo Manipulation In this project, I was instructed to make a photo manipulation by combining 2 objects with similar shapes and characters to make a shape that looks like neither one of them. Examples: fig 1.1 examples of photo manipulation When I first explored the concept, I indulged too far in the definition of photo manipulation. I saw so much advanced editing and I lost the important point: it's not about making a whole new fantasy world with your skill in editing, it's about combining 2 objects into 1 unreal object with Photoshop. My initial concept was to make a world inside a book, where there is a hole on the page and from...

29.06.2023 (Week 13) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 / Bachelor or Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 13 - Final Project Progress NO LECTURES (Public Holiday) NO TUTORIALS (Public Holiday) PRACTICAL Week 13 is a public holiday, so we spent the time working on our project at home. As for my work, I've done creating my PSD file that I will anime in Adobe After Effects. fig 1.1 Screenshot of my work in Adobe Photoshop It's a bit different than what I had in mind, I just don't want to make it too crowded and ended up distracting the viewer from the main focus, after all, I learned last semester that the empty space is really important. I also added some RGB (though just red and blue) duplicates behind my photo, the Valorant outline, and my name. It will add some neon effect that will create contrast from the dark background. I also kept the fire effects, I think it really works well with the overall image. Here's the final ...

06.07.2023 (Week 14) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 / Bachelor or Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 14 - Final Project Submission NO LECTURES NO TUTORIALS PRACTICAL This is the last week of the semester, and we're finishing up our project. fig 1.1 Screenshot of my work in Adobe After Effects I've done my video, I dedicated the first 9 seconds as the setup of the composition, and the rest of them are for the final one. Here's how the animation looks like: I showed it to Mr Fauzi. He told me that the video is supposed to be looped, so I had to remove the setup part and go straight to the final animation. He also told me that my photo is too dark, so I also changed it. I also had an error where the video won't shows the second half of the video. Thankfully all I need to do is copy and paste the original layers and recomposed them into a new composition. I also added the music to this final version. H...

I love being able to add some beautiful fantasy to a person. It could be used to express a lot of things. I really enjoyed experimenting on it and seeing how every filter is created. As for the poster design, it's actually a bit different from what I initially planned, but it's mostly the same, and I'm really ...

15.06.2023 - 06.07.2023 (Week 7 - Week 8) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 / Bachelor or Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Final Project - Cinemagraphs - Self Titled FINAL PROJECT fig 1.1 Still Composition fig 1.2 Still Composition PDF fig 1.3 Animated Composition Experience This task has been fun yet frustrating. I enjoyed my learning process and getting used to the tools and techniques here. Watching the preview as the objects move around feels amazing, since I know I made them. But I had an error during this project that makes me a bit frustrated. Thankfully I only had to copy and paste it again and it works fine. The skills I learn in this semester will definitely be useful in the future, so I'm really happy I learned this. Observation I saw some of my peers' work, and they look amazing. They have a more fantasical fe...

22.06.2023 (Week 12) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 / Bachelor or Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 12 - After Effects Exercise NO LECTURES NO TUTORIALS PRACTICAL This week we went to class and work on our final projects. We can show our sketches and our progress. We can also consult about our compositions if needed. I haven't started on mine, but I have a rough picture in mind on what I wanted to do. Here are my references: fig 1.1 valorant reference 1 fig 1.2 valorant reference 2 I wanted to try to create a strong pose and make it seem like I'm one of the agents. But my sources and abilities are limited so I can't really make it as similar as them. I don't have the costumes or skills to put there, but I can take the fire theme into my composition. Here are some sketches I made; I also wanted to add this animation as it would be cool as an intro, but Mr Fauzi told me it is too much, so I ...

15.06.2023 (Week 11) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 / Bachelor or Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging Week 11 - After Effects Exercise LECTURE - (Online class, no lecture given) TUTORIAL In this online class, we weren't given any tutorials. Mr Fauzi only gave us a review and a Q&A session on how to do the keyframes for our After Effect work. PRACTICAL Since this week is conducted online, the only thing we do are reviewing some our peer's works that is played by Mr Fauzi so we all can see. A lot of them are really cool and they did things I didn't think about, which is inspiring, even though I've done mine. Mr Fauzi also gave us a chance to ask if there was something we don't understand, and he'll show us how to do it. I didn't have many challenges though. I actually forgot how to export it but then a friend showed me how to do it so other...
