LB15 Lloyd Hembrador P1

For this project I learned how to use animations using Photoshop. I start off by going to Windows and click animation so I can start of the timeline. We also learnded about parts of the timeline like the frames and the layers. The thing we animated was text. I had to make initaials of my name which is L.K.H., and the first letter of the month I was born which is may. So there would be the letter "M." First I had to seperate them all at the beginning of the animation. Then by 3 seconds I had to make all of the letters come to together and to fade in at the same time. To do that I Had to use the opacity animation, which shows how visible something is, and the poition animation so I could change the positions of the text. After they all appeared I made them fade out slowly by changing their opacity to 0%. When they all dissapear I have to make them reappear and make them blink 3 times by the 5th second. I do this by changing their opacities anb putting the keyframes near each other. Keyframes are like indicators telling you where the animations start and end. After they blink I had to change their styles. I did that by changing the layer styles of the layers. I just added shadows and glows to the text so they look more attractive instead of looking boring and plain. For the last animation all I had to do was to distort the text by using the text warp by using the text tool. After that's done I made a descent animation, and it looks very nice.



I could use animations on photoshop for a lot of reasons. One of them is using them for advertisements. With the animations I can make an advertisment attractive so the viewers can be impressed by the animation. At the same time I also have to give importanat animation so the viewers can understand the advertisment. Fancy animations are useless if they advertisement is meaningless. Animations con also make the viewers convinced about the advertisement so they would believe the information about the advertisement.
