Animation

How can make my background is prominent and easy to understand?
First i think my background is too simple so it is not easy to understand and not prominent. So i need to make some changes in my background, for example colors change, increase the detail in the background.

How do i give more personality?
Don't follow others blindly, i should have own style but use google search to look at some other people's animated backgrounds do some reference.

Why have chosen this colors?
I chose these colors because my background most of fields and city, so i used most is the green color and yellow color. i will add some background color, does not look too monotonous.

Analog Vs Digital

Analog

Analog Printing is an art form, and it means that it is completely done manually. It does not require the use of any electronic devices. Paintings, sketching, sculpturing, typesetting, posters, graffiti etc are all examples of Analog Printing. It is referred to some as handmade art forms. Every artwork starts in analog method even though it ends up in computer, it's the base for all art. Analog Printing requires a lot of effort and is time consuming. The results can be inconsistent as well. On the other hand, because of its inconsistency, each piece of manually handled work has its own character. Analog Printing is not recommended for mass produced products.

Digital

Digital Printing refers to the artworks that are made with the use of any digital media. Since the rise of computer use, this method has become more and more popular, and is now widely available for the public. Digital Printing requires a computer, the software needed, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, and a printer to produce. It is suitable for commercial purposes and mass produced products  because of its efficiency and consistency. One who obtains the knowledge of how the program works can produce hundreds of the same image within minutes with the help of technology. Artworks such as 3D animation, digital paintings, advertising, business cards, posters, etc are all considered Digital Art.

The images below is created by an artist who uses computer technology to accomplish the artwork. This method is faster and ends up with more perfection.

Now we are going to compare the analog and digital methods of creating a poster. A poster is an extremely common medium to advertise for films, theater, competitions, theatrical performances and other activities.  To create a poster one can combine both the use of analog and digital methods. The early stages are usually through analog method.

Analog Method:

-Come up with an idea through brainstorming and sketches

-Choose a canvas, then draw and paint the elements by hand.

Digital Method:

-Scan the image onto the computer and use programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and In-Design to correct mistakes, to create typesetting.                                                                 
                                                                       

- At the end save the file and print it out using a printer, either with a jet ink printer or laser printer, and this is how a poster is created with a combined use of Analog and Digital method.
