Finalizing Vector Art
This being a short week, we'll just have time to make some adjustments to our After Effects animation of our Monster and get all our vector artwork uploaded and documented on our digital portfolios. Having an animated GIF on your Vector Art page is a great way to show off your work - the ones below are short, repeating loops that were resized to around 512 pixels wide. If your file size was more than 2MB, it's not here, because the web page would load VERY slowly. Animated GIFs work well for texting because the files use very little data! (Click the link underneath the animations for a second page with the next 12 larger files).

Digital Portfolio Update
Use your link on the 2023 Portfolios master page to get to your site before you begin editing. (This verifies that your link is working). Add & edit your Vector Art page by uploading graphics you have created with Illustrator and animated with After Effects. Include the cropped and leveled version JPG of your monster so visitors can see what you drew in ELAR to get that project started. Everything you worked on for this grading period should be uploaded and written about!
Make sure you have at least these 3 pages visible now - Home, My Favorite Things and Vector Art. If you did not make headers for any of these, self-made Photoshop versions are preferred since. If you need a nice, temporary placeholder header, Firefly is a quick and easy way to download a fancy PNG with transparency that you can use until you create your own.
These should be on your Vector Art page:
Sample Graphic
Shape Sampler
Emojis
ELAR Monster (original JPG, Illustrator PNG, After Effects GIF & MP4)
Some other designs you may have created:
Recolor Artwork practice
Birdhouse Tutorial
Rainbow Tutorial
"Layers of the Earth" Science Illustration
Adding Video to Your Portfolio
We added our My Favorite Things video to our Portfolios in the last Unit - now we have a short MP4 to put on our Vector Art page. It's pretty straightforward but VERY important to use the right file. Locate and view the video you are going to use before you take the following steps:
Open Google Drive and go to your "PORTFOLIO FILES - DO NOT DELETE" folder.
Use the Add --> File option and navigate to the folder where your video is located.
On your Vector Art page, use Insert --> Drive --> PORTFOLIO FILES... and select your video.
This is a high resolution 1920x1080 video, so you can make it as big as you like. Do NOT make your GIF large - it's best viewed at its actual resolution.
