New Work, New Tools
Feeling: Restless
Music: Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Added some new work, two UI mockups and a new illustration piece.
The one mockup I'm actually rather proud of, as it's animated using After Effects CS3 - my first attempt at using the application, but I dove right in and picked up the basics rather quickly. It could be because of my Flash animation experience, but to me, After Effects seems much less cumbersome to work in when dealing with bitmaps and non-vector art. The text animation tools are also amazingly fun to work with. When I started working on the project I wasn't sure how I was going to animate the text; turns out AE had it all figured out for me already!
My brain is completely taxed from the past month; I didn't create much "finished" artwork, but I did a lot of thinking and stressing out about things I'm going through. It's not really anything worth bringing up, but I'm still alive, still hungering for my chance at a job.
