With procreate you can only have a certain number of layers in a project so you have to join layers or merge layers to create empty ones but for an animation that won’t work. I had to make two projects for the yellow car animation. And for this one I will have to make at least four.

For this section it took 12 layers to create only 2seconds of motion. For this section I’ll need to play around with form as I haven’t made something like this before

I asked friends to send me images of their home work spaces and I drew them in two ways. I added their location, room their home office was in and their jobs. Everyone who sent me the images said they were fed up of working at home overt quarantine (some have gone back onsite to work but some haven't).

the first was exactly as they were, relaxed, nice clean lines all tidy.

the second was fuzzy, stressed and frustrated looking.

This minimal / linear illustrations I had done were different to the type of drawings I have been doing but I felt this piece needed it. I tried different colour combos but preferred the simple white and orangey/ brown line I had started with.

I made them into a gif, comparing the relaxed to stressed and then I added a voice over of google translate (I was going to use my voice but I couldn't do it). Ideally I would have a real voice to say the text.

at first working at home was great, can attend zoom meetings in your PJs, the layins, getting to see your dog all day, not having to wait for the bus in the rain....

But then the neighbours have a loud BBQ right in the middle of your zoom, its 28 degrees outside but you can't spend the whole day in the sun, you dog demands your attention, barks a lot, you're sick of having to work in the kitchen or bedroom, your house mates / family members are reeeallyy starting to get on your nerves.

From relaxed to stressed, how your home work space had evolved.

Animated MP4 video

Idea of shuffling through the pandemic trying to figure out what you want to listen to, and what we done.

Themed on objects, trends, people and words that have rotated around us Since the start of this global crisis. I tried to make the imagery and logos fun but still relating to the titles and band names I chose. We don’t need concerts to still listen to music this year, we can listen any time we want.

I submitted work to an online gallery, ALLKINDSGALLERY, that was being set up about artists who are making work during the pandemic.
The website is launched and there is a physical art book that you can buy, I’ve ordered a copy.

# data[].attributes.body
I lengthened the animation and added music.
Songs like stayin alive, help, radioactive, inappropriate behaviour and buttercup I added to the animated song I thought it fit best with.
Edited in RU (Premier Rush)

Now that I have it done I have noticed some things I should have done differently;
- Ran the time bar to match the music, counting down and the green sliding
- quickened it up again, it goes on for too long before the next image
- could have put mini animations inside the screen, it would have taken a while to do so could have either just put some elements inmates i.e. the clock, background, head tilt, smoke blowing.

Relating to COVID-19 and the current climate.. try make the graphics light hearted

Disappointed we couldn't have a proper in person grad show, but at least we got some recognition on the online exhibition.

Hopefully we can have some sort of exhibition next year or hop onto 2021 grad show.

This year's exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year's Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

My work is focused around festivals and the current global pandemic. I have made this gif style animation that comments on the cancellation and emptiness of festivals this year. Just one of a series of animations surrounding festival culture and their lack of guests in 2020.

PANDEMIC VIBES

The pandemic, the pandemic,
Oh so many bad vibes,
No meeting of friends,
No midnight jives.

No festivals, no fun
No holibops in the sun
For once in the summer,
we can’t wait for the rain to come.

For this means no trips, and some plans can be cancelled
Like a typical Irish summer; somethings can be handled.

We are trapped yes we’re trapped
With no where to go,
Nothing to do but learn how to sew,
Make a whipped coffee or banana bread too,
But it’s not really real,
It’s all just for show.

So many movies and so many series
So many plans and so many nearly’s.
We cant go anywhere because of this illness
One step outside and and you’re into the shrillness.

A mask a mask is all you may need
And don’t get that takeaway, you’ve already had your feed.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the updated version of the gif.
I lengthened the time of the frames on the animation so you have more time to see the bands before the next one is added.

# data[].attributes.body
Class response: slow it down so you can actually see the bands and what they say.

- Reverse design on computer
- print on transfer paper and cut to size
- get iron heating and place clean shirt on ironing board
- place transfer paper on shirt, image side down on desired area
- iron continuously for a few minutes, pay attention to the design
- check edges, if stuck well then remove transfer paper slowly and carefully, but it not then keep ironing
- once transferred, remove paper and allow shirt to cool, then wear!
- another fun thing to do is grab a permanent marker / pen % write a word or phrase backwards on the rough side of the paper
- Iron the same way as before, this should transfer quicker
- enjoy

* check details on your transfer paper; some only work on certain types of fabric i.e. denim / dark colours
* if under 18 years, use adult supervision while ironing
* over ironing can cause burning, so iron with caution

How is this pandemic attacking / effecting festivals and festival culture?

Birthday present tickets can’t be used.
Fun can’t be had.
First ever concert/festival this year? Not anymore, no milestone yet.
Favourite band playing? Spotify will have to do.
Getting all dolled up in the mad festival fashion? There’s no point, don’t waste the glitter on sitting at home all weekend.
Certain memories can’t be made.
Some people experiment while at festivals... is it a bad thing? No more overdoses, alcohol poisoning can be blamed on BD/EP this year.
So no bad publicity for festivals this year? Not so bad for them in that sense.
Road trip to the festival? Cancelled.
Roar trips in general? Possible... inside the 5k limit.
Unless they extend it and the cases lower.
Understandable though, lower risk of bigger cases if there’s no festivals.
Empty gap in the summer now.
Yes, Spotify will have to do.

For some of these illustrations/animations I use photo reference, so far all the original photos are ones that I have taken myself.

For others I just draw them with maybe I.e. inspiration for their jewellery/hair/ accessories/ etc.

I don’t know just yet how I will show what I used for this I may make a story board for each to get a rough draft down before I figure out what will work effectively

First scene for flip animation

Potential gearing up for festival season but it’s cancelled, then could glitch into tv of covid outbreak.

Also potential to make a second part of a tv screen with add for online fest, and computer logging on.

Could lead into other animations of screens and people changing avatars, outfits, festival backgrounds.

Then into the IPod of songs / bands etc (notably pandemic inspired titles/names)

I want to bring a more abstract element into my illustrations, in the sense that they may look just like festival inspired graphics but how I match elements together will be the hint at cultural appropriations(CA) in festival culture. Also the titles will be a blend of both festival and the appropriated.

Ultimately I want to create very graphic imagery and interesting compositions. I hope to re-jig some of the more CA focused drawings I made before we broke up. I only have photographs of some of the drawings as most are still in the studio. And if we get access to collect our stuff from the studio before I assess in September, then I will add better photos of them in here also.

I quite like how mismatched the clothes people wear to festivals and it gives them a chance to literally wear anything with anything. I’ve seen proper fancy dresses paired with wellie boots, cowboy hat, a Pennys backpack and a red ISPCC poncho they bought for €2.50 earlier when the rain broke out.

Tried something different, didn’t like it though

This is how the layers look when you’re in the middle of manning an animation.

They come up as a lighter shade behind the layer you’re working on so they give a trippy blurred effect.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m still working on this so it’s not the finished product
