Parallax Scrolling Assignment- Spongebob

I decided to do spongebob for my parallax scrolling assignment.
Everything shown in the scene I vectored and animated. I found a jelly fishing song I was not even aware of on youtube and used adobe Soundbooth to cut it to the appropriate length and add a fade in/out. I used the camera method in Adobe After Effects to truck into the scene and orbit slightly. The Jelly Fish are animated separately on various Z-axis' moving towards the left. Spongebob's arm's anchor-point was changed so that I could animate his arm slowly rotating to the right in order to catch the jelly fish (which he never seems to catch) :)
There was a lot of effort and careful consideration put into this project and I am quite content with the results.
Thanks for taking a look

Magazine Layouts. Double Page Spreads


This was an exercise utilizing adobe indesign for the first time. I Learned how to create margins, columns and how to add text and images. I googled and looked at magazines for inspiration. I measured 4 different magazines to see typical sizes and use of images and content.


This is the first layout double spread layout I created. I chose to do rubber chickens again because rubber chickens are a classic comedy prop and is a symbol of laughter and happiness.
This particular photo was taken by me in second semester photography class. The content was reworded from the web http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-rubber-chicken.htm

This is the second layout I created. I used a high resolution photograph I found on google images. www.phototravelpages.com
I separated the columns by introduction, Ladies Night, Guys Night, and Couples Night. This layout is about Toronto Nightlife. The content was retrieved from toronto.com
