Class Project 07 - Puppet Warp
Overview
Daniel Scott
Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.
Hi there, it is class project time again. You were thinking, "Hey, there's no more project, this is awesome." Surprise, getting out of more of the tools based stuff, and getting into more of the project based part of the course.
So in this one what I want you to do, in your 05 Cropping folder, there's one called Class Exercise 01, and there's two in here for this exercise. The first one, this little monster, I want you to reshape into a different pose. Totally up to you, but experiment with that Pin Depth, those arms and legs.
The other one is the longer project, or longer part of this one. So exactly like we did at the end of the last video. I'd like you to mask this out using any technique you like. This one here, Color Range might work, because it is a more consistent file. You might use a Channel Mask, anything you like, but I want you to combine it with your name. Use your name, or any word you like.
So mask it, move it around so it interacts with the type in some way. And do that trick where it kind of dives in and out. You probably have to go back and check out the last video. So mask it first, then you have two versions of it. One on top of the text, one below the text, you mask out the top one.
Then I want you to share it with me, when you share this one in particular, I want to know what masking technique you used. It would be interesting to see what everybody does. It's in your Class Projects file, basically everything I just said. Go forth and pop a warp. I'll see you in the next video.
