end

Hiiii~ This is the end :D and this is our project. The corporate identity manual of URBE EFL Center in SL.


We chose this project because we saw the logo and felt that it was not telling the right message to people, we wanted to make something with more class and appealing for students, teachers and everyone who sees it.
The process started drawing sketches and thinking what to put on the logo, after a week we selected a logo of the ones designed, after the first part of the project was done, we just had to digitalize it so it would become easier to edit or modify it, after the whole digitalization process, we showed it to the teacher and then we started to “clean” it from any error or problem that the teacher found.

My avatar name is Cerealbx and this is me

Ok, not really. But I'm sexy too :D

My experience in SL is short, but really good. I never forget this moment in my life. I learn a lot in SL :3 ñimi ñimi!

So... Some pictures :D


The final presentation is this :D

Well, I consider the virtual worlds are a big help to the graphic design, because you can meet people worldwide in the field, you can learn new things, and many of the advantages and disadvantages in the design.

And finally, this is the PowerPoint Presentation! :D


Thank you for everything in this road, but the end has come. I never forget this experience. Goodbye, people! :)

epoch

Hi! I'm with Rossina Suarez, and and we visited the store "Nylon outfitters & yummy accesories".

These are the questions:
How did you get started as a designer?
My sister brought me into Second Life, we were looking for something that we do online together. She started designing clothes and I figured jewelry would be a great compliment to that.
What inspires you to design?
Fashion magazines, trends, music, photographs, anything really.
How did you hear about second life and its stores?
I heard about it from another online virtual world called There
How do you see yourself in the future as a designer?
I see myself continuing what I do now, it's always evolving and learning new techniques.
Do you believe that second life is the future of the designers, a site where they can design and show its creativity?
I think it's a cheap fun way to try out some creative ideas, but nothing can replace real life creativity!

Cartoon animation is created with traditional hand-drawn or computer-generated animation techniques. The term cartoon animation has been used since the dawn of animated film in the early 20th century. “Cartoon” is also used to describe printed humorous drawings that appear in newspapers or periodicals.
Animation originated at the same time as motion picture photography. Both exist because of a function of the human eye and mind known as persistence of vision. This cause a rapid sequence of different images to be perceived as a single moving image by the observer. The first animated film appeared shortly after the debut of motion pictures in 1896. The founders of this era of cartoon animation were also some of the greatest animators in history, including Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and the artists of the Walt Disney studios. Many of these theatrical cartoons became beloved classics of animation, winning acclaim from the public and many awards. When television gained widespread popularity in the 1950s, these cartoons became regularly syndicated items.
The spread of television ushered in a new era of cartoon animation. Studios such as Hanna-Barbera provided numerous cheaply produced cartoons for children’s programming. At one time, a viewer would find broadcast television channels saturated with cartoon programming on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons.
And my opinion… Well, basically this is the traditional animation, every cartoon is different. Because it is aimed for different age groups and styles. "Cartoon" is a term is used to describe printed humorous drawings animated, especially for the kids. Hannah-Barbera was the most important studio of animation on television in the 90’s. And Disney was the most relevant company in movie theaters. Cartoons are the future - we need more educative cartoons for our kids.

At the end of the 21st century we saw another boom in cartoon animation. Major film studios created feature-length theatrical films with huge budgets and celebrity voice actors. Broadcast and cable networks launched numerous successful animated series. Some of these new cartoons were intended for adults but imitated the simple drawing styles of earlier eras.

project


Hello dear readers and followers, our project will be to redesign the image of URBE EFL Center in Second Life.

It's because we find necessary a change of image or Logo for URBE ELF Center, so we will redesign from the logo to the background of the characters in Second life.


We are also doing this because for us the actual logo has reading problems, because of the font that was chosen for it, and the ochre background doesn't help to make it shine out of it.

Our proposal is to make the logo fresh and interesting.

So that when it's seen, it creates an impact to the person y he/she feels joy or feels enthusiasm about learning English and at the same time, knowing the benefits of Second Life to learning English.

Jessica Nieto and Julio Monagas - Logo & description

Cheers! :)

animation

The power of good animation should not be underestimated. Through quality facial animation, we get a sense that the emotion the writers attach to the dialogue is real. We get a sense that the characters themselves are real. The lip-synching is still not that great, but focusing just on the eyes and the detail put into the actual faces is enough to draw the player deep into the flow of the conversation. Animation is a better communication educational. Easier communications for ideas and more interesting multimedias. The life without the animation would be boring.

Now, a little bit about the story (And Wikipedia)!~ ♥ :D

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. The effect is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in several ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although there are other methods.
Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion. A 5,000 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides.
This has been claimed to be an example of early animation. However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word.
A Chinese zoetrope-type device had been invented in 180 AD. The phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, and the common flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 19th century.

These devices produced the appearance of movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.

There is no single person who can be considered the "creator" of film animation, as there were several people working on projects which could be considered animation at about the same time.

untitled


Hi~ I have read some blogs in my life, because they are very informative/educational and the format is comfortable to read, though every blog has their own style. Well, I think that writing and reading blogs in English about everyday topics and personal learnings gives a more realistic point of view than that you can find in books. I have some favorites. And I will talk about my 3 favorite blogs.

The first is the personal blog of Zac Gorman
The next is "Blog de diseño"

And the last one is "Webcomic de Narizpuntiaguda"

Finally, I tried Second Life... My avatar doesn't have a sexy moustache, I don't know use Second Life, it is too complicated :( my avatar is Cerealbx. Look at her.

welcome to my imagination


Hi! In this blog I will talk about ponies and moustached unicorns...



Ok, not really.


In this blog I will post my school homework for Level 7. I will use it to practice writing, listening, speaking and reading. Also, I will share it with my classmates and the people from the world.

My name is Jessica Nieto, but as Jessica is too long, you can call me Jess if you want. I’m from
Maracaibo originally. I’m 19 years old and I study Graphic Design. My favorite subjects are Illustration and English Photography. This trimester I am taking 6 classes (THAT'S MADNESS!) and I am in the 7th trimester.

I love music and drawing anything, specially cartoons, but I can draw anime too. I like taking photos (real photographies, not the typical Facebook photo), and I’m learning about 2D and 3D animation. I'm a nerd, and I'm proud of that. My favorite music band is "La oreja de van gogh".

I like a lot things, except things I don't like, I hate the things I don't like!

My dream is to create my own animation. I also want to learn about 2D animation. I’d love to work in for an important animation company and buy a house, get married and start a family.

About English, I don't like English (I'm really bad lol). But I think English is very important in the modern world. What do I do to practice my English? Well, I listen to music and watch TV in English. It’s a good exercise. I also talk in English with my boyfriend (His accent is British!). I can write well, but I need to practice more, a lot more.

Well, this is a little bit about this unicorn.

Now, I will talk about my friend Julio Monagas! ♥  

Her/his name’s Julio Monagas. He's from Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela. He's a student from URBE. He's 18 years old. He lives in sector "La picola". 

He likes playing guitar, he likes to learn something new everyday,
He loves listening to music. He enjoys playing along to backing tracks.

He doesn't like to clean up his room / He hate's vegetables / He can't stand sharp eq guitars and extremely loud noises.

His dream is to be the best guitarist of the world one day / He wants to be the best venezuelan guitarist one day.

He thinks English is really useful / In his opinion it's because it's universal / For him it works pretty good because he enjoys speaking it with people from different sides of the earth / He guesses he wants to be the best in this class / He wants to learn more english to speak with different people fluently.
He's smart and cuasi gringou ♥ :D you must visit him! http://elmundodejulio.blogspot.com/

Cheers, Jessica unicorn Nieto
