Golden

This here is my best work from the semester -------->

I don't consider it the height of my artistic ability and it doesn't necessarily portray a theme that I'm passionate about (although my favourite drink is tequila). The true reason why I consider this my best work out of the entire semester is because I created the work digitally on Adobe Photoshop.

Some people know Adobe like the back of their hand, but for me it's like a a whole new level of impossible... or at least it was.
My biggest struggle throughout this whole semester was finding a way to create "Good Art" on photoshop. I was struggling big time with this issue and it stressed me out SO MUCH because I felt like I was entirely limited in terms of the type of work I could produce.

Finally though, I took it upon myself to learn the damn thing. I signed up for some one-on-one time with my number one gal Bonnie and she taught me the ropes.

I'm very proud to say that this work was entirely created through Photoshop and this was a massive achievement for me. I'm excited to develop my Photoshop wizardry further and become a total master of the program!

Keith Haring Google Doodle Animation Procress

I realize the GIF isn't aligned properly and perhaps the second frame could use some work but this is just to give an idea of what I'm aiming for. It'll be a two frame interactive animation where you can hover with your mouse over each individually and they will appear as if you are making them dance!

Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I really love this idea, especially because you managed to keep it simplified and make the flash effects the element which was most dominant. The colours stayed true to the original Google Logo, making this look extremely professional. You did an awesome job ! My only bit of advice would be to simplify the movement marks ["] around the forms in order to clean the work up a bit.

Make sure to click on the image to restart it! :'D

Here's my final doodle for Earth Hour! I really like the overall cleanliness of the animation and I am quite happy with the final outcome. Plus I learned something that will make me more viable to future clients! (:

Anywho! You guys can check out the online version here as well although it does not seem to be aligned properly in Chrome and Firefox. ): I hope you guys like it and thanks for all the help!

Google Earth Hour WIP

Hey guys,

Here are a couple of step by step work in progresses I did for my Google Doodle. I spent hours on the light bulbs perfecting them. It was qu-

ite difficult as I decided to work extremely large in terms of pixels and when shrink

ing them they lost the details. As a r

esult I had to create vectors of them in order to preserve the details. (: Overall I am super happy with how clean the details became!

Here are each individual sections, they were split up as individual letters and light bulbs during the animation process!

Hope you guys like the final,

-Negin

Creation Process #3

http://webspace.ocad.ca/~ao11dg/


Here is my final Doodle with the sparkle effect... something which would not be possible without the help of Jayan.


Because he's a wizard.

Creation Process #2

Attached is the digital work that was created in photoshop and illustrator. I began by making a very intricate design for The Emerald City. I gave one of my first ideas an attempt just for the sake of trying and it really didn't work out too well. I had a very difficult time making the 'G' look like a real G, so I stuck with my original plan and added onto the image to create my new "l" in Google. 

I then played with a few effects on photoshop including transparency, glow and saturation. I created an interesting style after a long attempt process. You can see the development of this style to the right.

The second step was playing around with typefaces, sizes, and the other smaller elements within the doodle. I made the decision to use this font to the right, and add a texture on photoshop which gave the letters a ruby slipper look- SPARKLES!!!

I had some decisions to make regarding the overall composition but decided on the final one seen in this attachment ---------->

The Creation Process #1

 

My initial idea was to involve Dorothy's tapping ruby slippers in my animated work. The shoes would tap when your mouse was dragged over them, very "there's no place like home" style. Joke's on me though, because this is a very complicated idea for someone who barely knows how to create a gradient in photoshop.

Instead I chose to use the iconic Emerald City in my google doodle and celebrate a made up holiday- National Wizard of Oz Day, (creative, I know). My big idea was to create each letter within the word Google in a way which made the word look like a unified Emerald City. Unfortunately, when I drew this out I came across a few issues and decided to make my life easier by simplifying the composition.

I played around with a few possibilities, as seen in the attached files, but ended up liking the final version best. With this form I was able to make the Emerald City a dominant element while also being able to add on to the composition and make it more personal. In this light, I also wanted to give the piece a personal 'style' and play around with photoshop elements once I started working on the computer.

Bakery day!

Final :)

http://webspace.ocad.ca/~ls11ti/

I had a problem embedding the link into the video, so it's sort of chilling below it.  But everything is functioning and I'm very happy with it :)

I think this is my final

Tell me if you think it shouldn't be of course, because I can still alter it but I'm pretty happy so...

Okay! Once again, don't forget to check your sound first before clicking!


Best viewed on Safari but should be compatible with all browsers.

Thanks

update

this is my progress so far...
I've decided on world clock day (which apparently exists)

as of now, I have scratched the old doodle, and decided to create a newer, more detailed illustration which will ultimately become animated! keep you posted.

Edited Harry Potter

Here's the new version of the Harry Potter doodle, the sound was off when I uploaded it so I'll have to fix that....but I feel like I'll redo it because I'm not a fan of the angles I filmed it at..

Alex Grey Doodle process.

Hey everyone,

This is my final google Bakery day animation

louise bourgeois's Maman

i did a version of the Lips one, originally for a Day of Silence, but it ended up too slow. and i didn't like it as much. So i went with the idea of Louise Bourgeois's Birthday, with her famous sculpture, Maman. Its a work in progress...

HTTYD

So this is the coloured roughs for the httyd google image. I had some difficulties with the animation so I didn't post that yet but the final will have some sort of animation on it :) and yeah thats about it..

Guy Fawkes~

Hey there guys!
This is just a mini clip of the bigger overall animation that I have so far.
I have more done than this, but I didn't think that I should show you guys anything too far ahead :)
Surprises are always awesome :D

Toilet Doodles

Hey guys,

Heres my toilet doodle I'm still trying to work on some of the animations for the water in the urinal but this is my refined version from last week. I had some trouble with flash at first but I'm getting more of the hang of it. I improved my illustrations a bit from last week and changed the l to a plunger instead of a toilet handle! Im also planning on adding sound but i haven't gotten around to adding it yet :)

Heres the link to my webspace

Elvis Google Doodle

Hey guys,

So this is my first time using flash since grade 9. The flash I used back then was so simple, definitely not as complex compared to this version! I have spent hours and hours watching tutorials and trying to play around with this version. Which is why my illustrations aren't as strong because i've tried to focus more on animation. I also have a problem getting the sound to stop once you mouse over another letter. I still need to do a lot of tweaks and try to perfect it as much as i'm capable of doing. I also feel like the black and white might be a bit dull, but when I think of Elvis I don't really think of a rainbow of colours. Anyways here's a link to my doodle (haven't figured out how to center it on my webspace just yet!!)

Cookie Google Doodle

I wanted to retake my cookie stop motion animation, but all week I couldn't find my camera anywhere so I haven't gotten the chance just yet (I finally found it earlier this evening, so hopefully if I get a chance I'll get around to doing it).

For now, I've just taken out the Pillsbury part from last week, and also attempted to fix the colours at the final few frames so it matched with the rest of the animation. I also used Premiere Pro for the first time instead of IMovie :D. For a little while I tried to make this into a gif, but I totally failed, so I'll need some guidance with that :')

Comments are greatly appreciated !

Tetris Google Doodle

I managed to get my .swf file onto the webspace, but I need help on aligning it to the centre. Also, I need to figure out a way to stop the audio and have it restart once you click on Google to start the animation again because I've discovered if you click it again before the first playback of music is complete, they just overlap and it becomes quite the messy audio...
I'll also need to link it to a second page with more information.

No Shoes!

So, this is the video!  I decided to go with something a little different from what I originally intended and focused the stop motion on the movement of the shoes, not the walking.

I have no idea how to get this on my webspace.  Help?

Leanna.

Google Carnivale ( so far)

Hey so here basically the layout of my final Venezia Carnivale design. There are no animations yet but soon will come, my idea is to have fire works sort of exploding from the background as well as an atmospheric carnivale + fireworks sound clip!

The reason why you are looking at this image individually and not on my google webspace is because I actually couldn't figure out how to put it up through fetch, YES I'm that bad at it :/

My Google Doodle's So Far

Ahh okay so this is the first time for myself to blog for project 3. I'm really behind and i'm finding it so hard to manage my time my mind is going crazy! Anyways, I finally have stuff to show now.

1. My first idea is Mickey mouse's anniversary, which is November 18th. Anyways my idea is to have the O's (his ears) to open up and have fireworks exploding out, or have some kind of celebration. I'm probably going to take out the word GOOGLE behind it, it's just there to give you an idea.

2. My Elvis idea has to do with Elvis's birthday on January 8th, I'm leaning towards this idea because it's more original and I think it'd be really fun to work with. The "E" at the end is the beginning of his signature which when animated it will create his autograph. Along with playing songs as you scroll over each letter.

Please let me know what you think!

Jacklyn B :)
