Assignment 8A

Idea 1: Doing yoga on the docks in front of the river. The concept would center around the process of getting into a certain pose. I would physically roll out a yoga mat and then go from a resting position into a difficult pose. I will also use animations such as boats, butterflies and birds. These will be created using Illustrator and taken from the internet.

Idea 2: I love to cook, so another concept I have is showing the steps to making homemade tomato sauce with spicy sausage. The physical elements I will use are the ingredients (tomato paste, tomato puree, salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil, italian seasoning, spicy sausage, pasta, basil), the pot, and a cooking spoon. I will show the instructions with written animations using illustrator.

Idea 3: My third concept is painting my nails. The visual would start out showing my hands, with my nail polish chipping. It would then go through the steps of removing that nail polish, filing the nails, buffing the nails, painting a base coat, painting the nail polish, and ending with a top coat. All of the things needed to do my nails (i.e. nail file) will be physical elements. I will use illustrator to make the nails appear extra shiny and sparkling in the end.
