After Effects Workshop


created originally for video post production.. can import photoshop and illustrator documents, including layers etc, and manipulated them separately. 


the yellow line suggests that this section is highlighted


Where the layers will be seen.. 



box used to play back


where the composition will be stored during the design process


Different windows like illustrator etc, keep on standard for now.



compostions is when you upload your art work etc, new project will just give a blank screen




in this country we use pal.. in the states ntsc.. this is due to the frames per second. 


Duration is also important to look at...


Allows you to change an existing composition 



important box for adding layers..etc


changing the pixels is important


Shows layers..



zooming in and out of the time scale from seconds to frames


this red line is where u allocate how much time this layer has on the fional video... do this by dragging it. 




to isolate layers, double clock on them. then alter


where you play back the video.. using the preview bar, allows you to listen to sound as well.


this effects what you see in terms of quality, if you use it on a quarter your computer wont run as slowly.


this are some of the transform options underneath the layers..click the arrows.






this is key frame, this creates movement to the layer. you click on the stop watch and then alter the image as to where u want the movement to occur on the timeline. If there is more case between key frames they go faster and closer they go slower. 
It is possible to copy and paste key frames.. on to new layers just by clicking certain layers. this will allow you to have certain aspects of the image, to move fade in and out etc. 
Short cuts on the transform keys are..p is position.. s is scale.. and t does opacity the only one that is different. 


if you select all the layers you can transform all of the layers at the same time. 
short cuts i and o.. these change you from one end of the layer to another.. as in in and out. 
The U key exposes all of the layer transformations in the layers column.

Cmd and d duplicate layers!


you can use the pen tool like in illustrator to edit the anchor point of the curve etc. this alters the movement. 


 when you export something, make sure you export the whole work area, you are working in.

MODULE EVALUATION


1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

Through out the module I have learnt a great deal, I have a much greater understanding of the print processes along with an appreciation for how greatly my design can be effect by print choices. As well as my layout skills that I developed greatly when working on the publication I did for this project.


2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

In this project I have been much more concise with my decision making, which has allowed me to spend more time on final outcomes. I also was able to explore print in terms of stock checks etc, this will help in the future and something that I will continue to develop. I have also allowed the primary research to effect my final outcome a lot more in this project which is something that is important in greeting effective final outcomes.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

The strengths I have found in my work this module is my ability to create a strong layout, something that I enjoy doing, I will continue to develop this skill along with my weaknesses. Another strength is that I feel my research was very strong and effective my final outcome greatly, having a wide knowledge of your chosen subject is important, and I will continue to do this in the future.



4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

With in my work this module I feel there wasn’t not a wide enough range of products, I think I spent to long working on the layout of the publication and forgot about the range of products. I need to manage my time better to get a wide range of final outcomes. I also believe that my work could be starting to get a little narrow in terms style and colour pallets I think in the next project I defiantly need to use colour in a more vibrant manner.



5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1.Time Management
Time management is crucial when designing, this project I found myself rushed at the end, as a result it resulted in a small range of products, this will need to be addresses in the future, so I can develop design further.

2.Blog
Be much more consistent with the blogging, this will allow me to spend more time on the project instead of catching up with blogging. As a result work will improve.

 3. Use a wide ranger range of print processes, even though this is the print module I felt as if I was reluctant to try new things, such as foiling, this needs to be addresses in the future.


4.Research
This although good at the start needs to continue through out the project, so you can get a deeper understanding of the subject, I think this can only influence your design in a positive way.

5. Improve design context, I think having relevant design context in a project can give you a wider range of options when you get to your final designs, in terms of your own personal designs.





















6.How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
(please indicate using an ‘x’) 

5= excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor

The evaluation of your work is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self evaluation process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
