Wheaties Box
Your project today is to go back and use photoshop once you are finished with the face and signature animation. I want you to create a Wheaties box, a project that was inspired by Mr. Doerger. This project is worth 100 points and due next class.
Requirements
1. You must use the color palette that is below and you must create a Wheaties box, no other type of cereal or anything.
2. I want you to use your picture, not another student's picture. If you use another student's picture you will get a 0. You must use your face for the big portrait face and also for the action shot explained in the photos below.
3. You need to have at least 3 text layers with shadows.
4. You must have at least one shape layer.
5. You must have at least 6 layers and no more than 10.
6. You can use any style of Wheaties box that has actually been used by Wheaties in the past as reference for your project.
Here is an example that I made in about 5 minutes so it's really rough and sloppy looking. I expect you to use two class periods to think of and execute a creative idea.
Since I stole these pictures off of powerschool they are not perfect. They are a little small so they will be pixelated and there are objects covering your shirts and portions of the head. You must clone stamp or use any other method to patch, repair and replace the missing information. Make sure that you steal your picture off of this image because I will be deleting this picture of everyone from the internet. If you have a better quality picture of yourself feel free to use it. You cannot, I repeat, CANNOT just use a box off of the internet and paste your face onto. You must, I repeat, MUST recreate the box in it's entirety from scratch, except for the Wheaties logo. I repeat you CAN embed an original Wheaties logo.
Requirements
1. You must use the color palette that is below and you must create a Wheaties box, no other type of cereal or anything.
2. I want you to use your picture, not another student's picture. If you use another student's picture you will get a 0. You must use your face for the big portrait face and also for the action shot explained in the photos below.

In the above image are all of the items that you need to, but are not limited to, include on the box. Try your best to arrange everything on the box so it is easy to read and does not appear to be crowded. Keep the design nice, simple and clean looking looking.

1. Open new composition and make the dimensions of the project 1920 X 1080 and name the project "YourNameWriting" and change the time to 4 seconds.
2. press "ctrl+Y" to create a new solid layer, color doesn't matter.
3. Make sure that your new solid layer is selected in the timeline and use the mask tool ("Q") to create an ellipse on the screen. Hold shift while dragging out the circle to create perfect proportion and center the circle when finished by clicking in the center of the circle with the selection tool ("V") and pressing "ctrl+home" like the image above.
4. Next add the STROKE effect which is located in effects if you type "stroke". Drag this onto the shape layer like the image above.
5. Change the paint style of the Stroke oprions to "On Transparent" like the image above. (also in the image above is the brush size, mine is set at 2.0 but you need to change this to 10)
6. press this button so you are able to watch the transformation of the mask.
7. With the scrubber all the way to the left on the timeline click the START option's stop watch to insert a key frame like the image above.
8. Drag the scrubber to 4 seconds and change the "start" percentage from 0 to 100%. Drag the scrubber left to right to see what effect this has on the mask stroke.
9. Left click on the second key frame that you have created to highlight it and then press F9 to add what is known as an Easy Ease. What this does is slow down the animation at the beginning. So rather than have one steady speed of the mask animation, the second key frame will be "eased" into.
10. With the solid layer still selected in the timeline, use the ellipse tool again to create another circle, while holding shift, onto the stage and arrange the masks like mine. Also check the box "All Masks" to apply the stroke effect to both masks, like the image above.
11. Notice that the masks animate sequentially. To change this so that they both animate simultaneously, check the box "Stroke Sequentially" which is located directly below the "All Masks" button.
12. Choose one of the masks and rotate it so that the start points of the animated stroke no longer are in the same place. Also add another mask into the stage but make this one a rectangle like the image above.
13. Click on the eye of the solid layer in the timeline to turn off the layer.
14. Next import the picture of Miles Davis that is above this sentence. Drag the image down to the timeline and scale it to fit the comp like I have done in the image above.
15. Drag the image down to the timeline and scale it to fit the comp like I have done in the image above.
16. Go to the top of the page and click the Layer tab, at the bottom of the drop down menu click on auto-trace.
17. Make your auto-trace options match mine and press enter like the image above.
18. Import the autograph image above.
19. Position and scale both the image of the face and the autograph to look like mine in the image above.
20. Put the same stroke effect on Miles Davis face layer that we put on the shapes in the beginning. Change the paint style option from Original Image to "on transparent" and check the box All masks again.
21. Do the same exact thing to the autograph layer.
22. Animate the start of the stroke effect on both the face and the autograph from 0 seconds to 4 seconds just like the shape layers that we did in the beginning.
23. Your project is to find a face, either yours or someone else's off of the internet and make an autograph and animate the stroke the same way we just did to Miles Davis.
24. Find an image of a face to use. Change the image to black and white. Change the levels of the image so that there is more black and white than grey. If you have questions with this I will address you individually. Use the stylus pen and pad to "sign" an autograph" onto the canvas and save this as a .png. Name the new composition "FaceYourName" and make the duration 10 seconds. Make your animation last 10 seconds. Lastly, incorporate shape masks into the animation as well like we did in the beginning of the tutorial. Smile, have fun and hate not having fun.
2. press "ctrl+Y" to create a new solid layer, color doesn't matter.
3. Make sure that your new solid layer is selected in the timeline and use the mask tool ("Q") to create an ellipse on the screen. Hold shift while dragging out the circle to create perfect proportion and center the circle when finished by clicking in the center of the circle with the selection tool ("V") and pressing "ctrl+home" like the image above.

Architectural Design Project for the week of 5-4-15
Hello, fellow architecture enthusiasts!! Your project today is to design a two-lane street with parallel sidewalks with a ten foot sidewalk leading to the front door of a Tudor home. Your project is to design a Two-story Tudor home on a 1 acre lot (43560 square feet). The house must include: gutters, two chimneys, decorative timbering and stucco (look at picture 1), a steep roof, a cross gable (look at picture 2), two dormers on the front of the house (see picture 3) and at least 16 windows. You can fence in your 1 acre property if you would like but it is not required. As far as the decorative timber look is concerned there are a number of approaches you might consider. First you could pencil in and extrude the timber from the face of the building which is what I suggest or you could find a picture to use as a material to apply and with slight tiling adjustments may look okay. I highly recommend using as many photographs as possible for reference. You will have three classes to finish this Tudor House. Here are the images:
1.
2.
3.
1.
The only requirements are the ones listed above. That means you can design the house to any size that you would like as long as it is a two story with a 10 foot sidewalk to the front door.

80's Video Game Project
You need to recreate an 80's video game! First Google search a list of Atari games from the 80's to find a game that you might like. Once you find a game that you like search for a background image from that game and then search for the characters for that game. If you can find png's of the characters so they are transparent or you can import the image into photoshop and erase the background and save as a png. I want you to look on YOUTUBE (without volume or with your headphones on) how the game works and what it looks like so you can recreate it in AfterEffects. For example: PAc MAn!!!! Horton and McBreen I encourage you to diligently create your projects with a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm.
