INFOGRAPHICS

Using paper and a pencil is the traditional method for conveying ideas and making illustrations of any kind. This type of illustration style might encourage someone to draw in a step-by-step fashion. For an illustration to be successful, a person's sketching abilities must also be improved. But as time went on, digital technology was developed. Today's task is made easier to do with the aid of digital technologies. It has, too. several benefits because it enables anyone to produce illustrations utilizing digital technology.

The infographic you see above was created by me using the Canva application. But before making this infographic, I drew and sketched on paper using a pencil to come up with ideas for what to include. After that, I use the Canva program to produce an infographic that looks just like the image I traditionally drew. This application makes it simple to create any shapes, fill colors, elements, templates, and other lovely features that aid in the success of my info graphics.

I believe there are benefits to both traditional and digital media. Even if it is the outdated method of producing any illustration, conventional methods still have a significant impact, especially on novice artists. We should give significance to and cherish both traditional and digital media because they both have positive effects on us as individuals.

 FINAL TERM EXPECTATIONS

The end of the semester is quickly approaching, and as a student, I had high hopes for this term. Let's first talk about the knowledge I gained during the midterm, though. On the midterm, I demonstrated my ability to draw both traditionally and digitally. Also, I know how to use the basic steps in Adobe Animate. The expectation that I had written during the midterm is that I am able to acquire and experience it with the help of our instructor. However, I know in myself that the learning that I have right now is not enough. I want to fill the gaps and make my journey in this subject successful. 

In this final term, the expectation that I have is to improve my learning and explore more about animation and illustration. First is the animation; in animation, I still have difficulty making animation. I'm not totally good at animating videos since I'm confused on how to make an object continue moving. There are also instances where the videos of my animation are not totally good or have poor quality animation. Second is the illustration; I also have difficulty with traditional drawing or creating an illustration since I am not actually good at drawing or illustrating objects or images. But I will take this opportunity in my final term to improve myself in animating and illustrating. I want to apply all the skills and knowledge that I learn and acquire during this final term. I hope that I will conquer it and be able to make my expectation a real one.

My overarching expectation for this final term is to be more knowledgeable and skilled enough in making animation and illustration. This time I want to fill the gaps and keep the fire burning as I continue to make this journey happen and successful. I will always have it in mind to never give up and conquer it wholeheartedly.

                                        THE STAGES OF HUMAN LIFE ANIMATION

Every person is born, develops, reaches adulthood, and then passes away. These phases involve a process of ongoing psychological, intellectual, and physical transformations. Our bodies go through stages of growth, maturation, and degeneration, and these changes are irrevocable and permanent. Each person goes through this process and develops unique attitudes and beliefs that influence their decisions and how they relate to others. The reason I made this animation was to remind myself constantly that all humans go through these kinds of stages, thus we should be appreciative of whatever we have in this life since at the end of it, we will all die.

Making this animation was quite difficult, and I had a lot of personal development to undertake. However, I believe on Ali Krieger saying "There's always room for improvement no matter what". I usually remind myself of this quote when I'm making this animation to look for any method to finish it successfully. During the creation of my animation, I first chose a background image for it. Then I downloaded a video of a baby crawling, a kid walking, a young guy walking, an old man strolling, and a tomb with a green screen backdrop. I also downloaded a background music on it to make my animation alive. I use a program to create it, and while animating, the first thing I do is add the backdrop image.Second thing is I insert first the baby crawling after that I follow the child walking until to the last picture which is the tomb. Lastly, I insert a music and text. 

I'm aware that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to practice more and identify the talents I need to develop if I'm going to accomplish what I desire. I'll do everything I can to improve my next animation. Nevertheless, even though I lack the necessary skills to perform animation properly, I am pleased of myself for creating one.
