Name Writing Animation

In animation we made a animation of us "writing" our names. The way we made this was we first used the type tool and typed our name, then we went backwards creating a new layer and erasing a small part of our name. I started with the "s" in "Roberts". When we finally erased our entire name we converted the layers to frames so we could make a frame animation. We also had to reverse the order of the frames so it could look like someone was writing my name.

Photoshop Principles

The principles I used was squash and stretch and arcs. The squash and stretch part was when the ball hit my name and squashed downward.  Arcs were used as the path of the ball. Instead of the ball bouncing straight down it fell in an arc shape.

Arcs are used to show movement. Instead of the ball bouncing straight down then back up arcs can be used to make a path to show the ball bouncing in a forward motion.
