The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

Yeah I plan to work on it during the summer. I managed to twist several arms and get myself into a high level graphics class without the pre-reqs at my college on the condition that they don't have to slow down for me if I don't know how to use the program. So while I know Photoshop, Aftereffects, Premiere, and Spark quite well, my downfall is Illustrator and InDesign. So we're going to fix that.

Aww man, I wish I knew AfterEffects. The crap I've seen people do with it is mind-blowing. Definitely way better for animations and stuff.

I've used InDesign a bit, but I probably only had a small taste of the number of features it had. Great program, though. Loads of cool uses and possibilities with that one.

And don't forget to put these kinds of things on your resume! You never know who might need skills with these things.

Yep! I'm also working on a website to use as a portfolio. Debated putting some of my better forum signatures too even though they're considered fanart.

AfterEffects is fun to use but it is soooooo finicky.

Even if it's considered fanart. Not everyone knows how to create the stuff. Much less use any design software products that are used to create these. So if anything I'd say that's a plus.

Yeah, I should have a website that has that stuff, too, but 99% of what I've done is all Pokemon-related. XD

Yeah I've heard fanart is still reputable, but thanks to my internships I have some diversity so that makes it a bit easier to include other stuff.

You’ve also got a good bit of your very own creations, so that stands to reason as well though! You’ve improved so much over this last year.

Hey, that's a nifty site! I like the layout and those graphics you made for Clemson are pretty sweet! :3

Oh uh most of these are actually a couple years old. The Clemson ones specifically are from the summer and fall of 2017 I think. I just never put a ton of effort into my forum stuff because the canvases are smaller and it's harder to manipulate stuff. But I've been doing graphic design since high school and got offered a scholarship for it back when I applied to SCAD. Those pieces just aren't on my new computers so they've kinda been lost with the old laptop.

But thank you anyway. My DC internships definitely gave me a good space to work in and improve on stuff like this.
