SUMMARY OF DAY 2 CLASS ON 2D ANIMATION AND INTERFACE OF ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

*2D Animation (Using RenderForest) as explained by the facilitator, Fajobi Monday Peter.*

We will be delving into the business of 2D animation.
Before we proceed I will like to give the meaning of *Animation.*

*Animation is a method in which figures are manipulated to appear as moving images.*

*Types of Animations.*
Traditional Animation.
Stop Motion.
2D Animation.
3D Animation.
Motion Graphics.
Whiteboard Animation.

In the term“2D animation”
2D stands for two-dimensional, meaning that 2D artists create images and characteristics in the two-dimensional format and enliven them with movement. This type of animation is regarded to be the traditional form of animation with plain, non-voluminous characters moving up, down, left, and right.

The best marketing tool in the whole world according to research is 2D animation. 💯

Different software is used to create 2D animation. One of the best software is "Render forest"

Render forest app has varieties of function which is used in the world of graphics. 💯

Check the short video sent to the group on step-by-by how to use the app.

The second lecture begins immediately after.
*Interface of Adobe Illustrator as explained by the facilitator, Adeyemo Damola A.*

First, what does Adobe Illustrator means?
Adobe Illustrator is a professional vector-based design and drawing program, used as part of a larger design workflow, Illustrator allows for the creation of everything from single design elements to entire compositions. Designers use Illustrator to create posters, symbols, logos, patterns, icons, etc.

Vector graphics are computer graphics images that are defined in terms of points on a Cartesian plane, which are connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes.

You can download a template, open it on Adobe Illustrator, save it as AI, send it from esp and bring it down to core draw for your edges. You can edit Adobe Illustrator templates on Corel draw.

Check the illustrating video sent to video sent to the class by the facilitator on step-by-step instructions on how to design with Adobe Illustrator.

Thanks.

SUMMARY OF YESTERDAY'S CLASS ON PIXELLAB

Graphics Design (Pixellab as explained by the facilitator, Adeyemo Damola)

The tutor began by explaining what graphic design is and giving the levels in graphics design.

4 levels in Graphics Design
1. Professional designers
2. Intermediate designers
3. Beginners in graphic design
4. People with no knowledge at all

*What is graphic design?*
To simply put, graphic design is a craft where professionals create visual content to communicate messages. So, the major purpose of design is to communicate messages. While the person or professional that does the design is called a graphic designer.

*Dividing graphics into two major aspects:*
1. AI Graphics
Explanation👇

1. *What is AI Graphics?*
In this type of graphic design, whether or not you have a good knowledge of how to make designs, you will be able to do a presentable design for your clients. With the help of artificial intelligence, people have been able to design like professionals.

*How does this happen?*
Here, they mostly make use of already made designs called Templates. These templates have been designed by professionals for you to edit and retouch.
Examples are canva.com, crello.com, postermywall.com, and many others. You can explore these sites for yourself. This is the same in Motion Graphics.
AI graphics is for lazy people.

2. Creative Design
*What is Creative Design?*
Here, it requires creativity. You create designs from your imagination, mastery, and so on. To be able to do this, you must learn of the concepts in graphics and also the tools.
A Graphic designer is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles images, typography, or motion graphics to create a piece of design. A graphic designer has solutions for graphic designs/art problems. He is a design or an art doctor.
*You see, it’s a profession! That’s why not everybody can do it.*
Just like a mechanic knows how to put parts of a machine together to make it work, the same way a graphic designer assembles images, typography, etc to communicate a message.

*Below are some of the types of graphic designs we have:*
1. ART AND ILLUSTRATIONS
2. ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHIC DESIGN
3. PACKAGING GRAPHICS
4. MOTION GRAPHICS
Make a research on the above mentioned.

An example of motion graphics is this.
You can remove picture backgrounds with your phone through this site: visit www. remove.bg
Make sure the picture has a fairly uniform background for better output.

*ELEMENTS OF DESIGN* There are many elements of design. But these two are very important:
1. Colouration
2. Typography (font or text)

Take note of these *super hints on both of them*
1. Don't use too bright colours and too many colours.
2. Don't use too many fonts when you're designing.
