Bully Poster

This is the poster I made for the anti-bullying contest. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out; it mainly included a lot of messing with vectors and manipulating the people and text. It was a bit difficult finding stock vectors which came in a pose similar to what I needed, but I was eventually able to find suitable ones. The style was really allowed to be anything -I just kind of winged it. 

Animation

Here is my animation! It's supposed to incorporate a technique called Squigglevision, which gives the illusion that the animations are more realistic even when not talking or moving by giving them a constant image of having energy or life. I disliked the thought of having to record the audio, because although I can be a pretty enthusiastic person sometimes I was oddly crippled when it came to having to record the audio for the animation. (Thank you, Ms. Thompson, for providing the audio!) It was very interesting learning how to animate using Flash, and using the technique to make the lines shake and give the characters a more life-like look.
