FAQ
Q: Can I use another art class for inspiration or does it have to be something else?
A: Of course you can use another art class!
Q: How do I document my time spent?
A: Through screen shots and/or photographs of your work in progress. Evident visual progress is key here.
Q: I’ve spent 10 hours on this idea and now I hate it. Can I change my idea?
A: I do not recommend this. Push through and find creative ways to resolve whatever issues you’re having. It will make you a better artist.
Q: Can I make an animation?
A: Yes.
Q: Follow up question: Can I make an animation that’s longer than Photoshop will allow?
A: Yes. You could make several animated gifs and then export them as Quicktime movies. Take these clips and put them together in iMovie. Hell, you could just use iMovie; you can import still images into the program. You might also try this nifty program called Pencil. It’s a free download. Finally, if you have Flash, you could use that. It’s a complicated program, though, and you may not want to tackle learning it in the last week of classes.
Q: I’m stuck.
A: Make a list of 50 things you could do. Cross of the first 20 and get started on idea #21.
