DESCRIPTION:

I believe every kid will wish to grow up faster at least once in their life. Now, I have fulfilled my childhood wish and created this poster.

Looking back at my younger self, I realize I have built my own staircase to reach my nineteen years. I am still sketching my staircase, and I believe the unknown behind the "Adulting" door will be bright and warm.

*A fun fact about the audio: Coincidentally, the track I chose is from the movie ‘Up’. The movie’s title unexpectedly relates to the theme of my poster.

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

This project involves creating a poster that incorporates elements about myself. It's fun, and it gives me an opportunity to reflect on my life.

In addition to using Photoshop, we also get to use After Effects for this project. Although we had an exercise on After Effects, I still struggled a bit with it.

*Speed:

To synchronize with the music, I adjusted the speed and pace of the animation.

(For example, the music is bubbly and light, but the animation was initially too slow.)

*Movement:
To avoid elements colliding, I made sure the animation didn't become chaotic.

Throughout this project, I've become more familiar with After Effects, and after several exercises in Photoshop, I'm getting more comfortable with it. Thanks to Mr. Fauzi, who provided numerous case studies and tutorial videos, I found these resources very helpful during the process.
