Branding by Emmanuel Acevedo

  My main inspiration for this animation is the Netflix Logo Introduction when you first start to watch a series/movie, I always liked how the N would zoom in near the end of the intro and thus I've replicated it here. However, I decided not to copy it 1:1 and I've added my own twist at the start where the Box either pops in or fades into the view. Then the Avocado would be thrown in with the Text starting to appear. Once a second has passed the Box and Text would fall into the abyss and, it ends with the aforementioned Avocado zooming into the seed. It seems simple but I would bet all my teeth that it's complicated to do the zoom in

  Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects while serving similar purposes have a lot of differences. 1. After Effects is capable of making 3D effects whereas Animate can't.  2. Animate has a more friendly user interface suitable for starters whereas with After Effects the interface is all over the place. However, like with other Adobe products the interface is customizable 3. Animate comes with the ability to hand draw graphics whereas with After Effects, you have to do it in another program such as Illustrator then import it into After Effects 4. After Effects comes with the ability to export GIFs by simply clicking 5. Animate has limited options when it comes to Compositing, you would have to open up another program such as Lightroom or Photoshop in order to do whatever composition you want. I would personally choose After Effects, despite its faults like having a complicated UI (Which can be adjusted), Having to draw the graphics in another program. It does make up for it by h...

In the Exhibit I learned about the methods many tribes back then would use to construct their houses. In Hawaii they would use Wood to build the structure and would use cords to support the structure. It reminds me of how the Japanese would use a technique called Joinery where they would connect 2 pieces of wood without any screws or nails. Just cut out the ends and slide them in together.  In the workshop building the house in a Desert environment was exciting, Me and my group were trying to figure out what the roof should be made out of whether we should use Popsicle sticks or woodchips, In the end we agreed on utilizing wood sticks instead and reserve the popsicle sticks for the doors. My only complaint would be the lack of Ventilation but other than that I'm satisfied with what me and my group could come up with.

The meaning of public relations is how people see a brand, company or person. PR mostly focuses on the reputation aspect of a brand or company. PR can be used to mitigate something negative that happened whether it was a post on social media or an action a company did that hurt its reputation with its consumers. Essentially, PR attempts to present the brand or company in a sort of positive image no matter what horrid things it might have done in the past 3 takeaways I took 1. There is no exact path to becoming a PR. One of the people in the meeting mentioned that they became a PR from writing in a newspaper for their High School. Another mentioned that they became a PR from being in a Communications job at a former company before it got absorbed into another. 2. It's extremely different from Advertising.  As previously mentioned, PR does not focus on selling a product or service, but rather it simply focuses on the reputation of a brand/company 3. There are many different paths a ...
