 1. Write a biography about yourself

INTRO	My name is Amirah. I am in my first year in Bachelor of Creative media. I am 24 this year.
PARAGRAPH 1	I used to study Fine Art and now i am pursuing Graphic Design. I took a gap for 3 years before i continue my degree programme. I am really into art and i like to create hands on art like paintings and sculptures.Now i am looking forward to learn more about digital art.
PARAGRAPH 2	In my work i want to develop my art style that is surreal, psychedelic like and minimal. At the same time i am also looking forward to try new styles and methods to create new art and design.
SUMMARY	I  hope to gain from this programme so that i can create more interesting arts.

2. Write a statement about your work

 

INTRO	We are needed to create a self portrait animation. It is slightly challenging for me since i am not that used to using After Effects.
PARAGRAPH 1	As mentioned in my biography,i will be proceeding to create a surrealist and somewhat psychedelic style for my self portrait animation. I wanted my design to be colorful and ethereal. I did a research on pinterest on some ideas and i have found a few that i am happy with.
PARAGRAPH 2	For my other idea, i wanted to go for a more minimal approach. The color will be less bright and colorful to minimize a messy design. I have also looked up on pinterest on minimal self portrait ideas and i have found a few as my reference idea.
SUMMARY	Ended up choosing the first idea that is surreal and psychedelic style for my self portrait animation project.

REFLECTION

Overall assignments for this subject, this particular project is the most fun one I have done. The animation requires dedicated practice and extensive research, and my difficulty in multitasking with other modules made it even more difficult to realise my initial ideas. However, despite the limited time and practical constraints, I managed to create a self-portrait animation. This assignment has taught be a lot from using Adobe effects.
