These are some examples of my final pieces that I created for my moire animations. I worked with scale and printed my designs on A3 paper, there are also designs that were printed on A4 paper and both reacted differently when scaled up and scaled down. This project was a lot of fun to create and it was great seeing people interact with my work because it made for an exciting experience and people commented on how amazing my work was.
Today I had my final exhibition for the visual sound project I’ve been working on. It was an amazing experience to finally have my work up on the wall and people really loved to interact with my moire designs. I really enjoyed this project, it was a fun but a hard experience to go through trying to make all my design work and researching how moire animation works successfully.
Sergi Delgado is a Spanish artist who works with typography and illusions. His work has caught my interest because he uses a wide range of digital media to create his work, I am mostly interested in his typography because I want to incorporate words into my moire animations and see how that changes its overall look.
To develop my ideas further with my moire animations, I wanted to create a video from each design and have physical copies so people could interact with the designs and also watch the video I’m going to create. I screen recorded my videos using Quicktime Player and was able to move my moire animations with Photoshop. The next step I’m going to take with this project is editing my screen recordings in Premiere and adding my audio.
I have created more moire patterns that I thought would suit my sound. I also experimented with typography because when I listen to my sound I imagine someone trying to communicate with an extraterrestrial life form so I added typography saying “friends” to add to that narrative.
Today we had a workshop about typography, we went into Indesign and had to create a poster and publication about one of our blogs. I chose to create a poster and publication about my Cinema 4D experience. I think the outcome of it looks great and I like the contrast between the poster and publication 
From the digital moire animation that I previously created on Illustrator, I have printed out the design on paper with the lines on acetate paper. I have successfully made moire animation and want to create more designs.
Today we had to pick a tutorial from Lynda.com. I did a tutorial called ‘mograph techniques’ and eventually completed it. We will be doing something with our completed tutorials next week. 
I have been interested in moire animation for my project and wanted to tackle making my own animation. I looked up a tutorial online and I decided to create a spiral pattern which I could animate; I was successful in creating my moire animation and I want to create another set of designs that animate too.
Today we had an After Effects workshop all about animation. The first part of the tutorial was to animate a ball so we could get familiar with the software; it was quite challenging at first because we had to visualise how a bouncing ball moved and apply it do our animation. We successfully animated the ball and moved onto the next task.
The next task we were asked to do was go into Adobe Stock and look for a space satellite so we could animate it and set it on a computer screen as if somebody was watching a film. It was quite a straightforward tutorial but animating the satellite was the most challenging part because it required a lot of layers.
