Studio/Artist Exploration

artist : Jennifer Shiman, Cartoonist

She's a freelance artist for 2 years, a cartoonist/internet animator based in Los Angeles, California. She works full time creating Flash-animated shorts of bunnies who re-enact movies in 30 seconds.

What attracted me to her work was the humor on her animation with careful execution using Flash. Animations flow smoothly, like the ones you see on Cartoon Network. Very good use of scale and perspective. Very vibrant colors. There's also a lot of scene transitions. She also made most of her sound effects and voice recordings, it's really funny. The best part about her animations are the storyline. Fitting a whole movie in 30 seconds is tricky. I guess she only needed the key points of the film. Regardless how short her animation is, it has a beginning, middle and end. Overall, impressive short animations.

Doors Off Flash Web Design Studio
artist : Andy Vincent

What attracted me to this site is its clean, easy navigation and simple design. Those design aspects are my basis of my own design most of the time. Animation transitions between pages are very simple and straight forward. It has enough animation to convey the message, yet not distract the viewers from the main purpose of the site. Color choice is very clean and very pleasing in the eyes, more like a relaxing mood. The fonts are very clean too, very legible and easy to read. Most of these design elements reflect very well on his projects. Very impressive portfolio. Concept is very clear in terms of the client's nature of business. Overall, the designs are professional-looking.
