I just made my first animation using Photoshop and After Effects. I have some learning to do about creating the right size/resolution for the intended media host, but I think I'm off to a good start. And, I really like making these little stories. It reminds me of when I took video classes at Cornish College of the Arts. One of my favorite parts was adding the music and sound effects. Super fun!
Transmit Culture Launch
Thurs. Feb. 21 was the official launch of a new PSU lecture series titled Transmit Culture: A Series of Conversations about Publishing. This is a project that I spearheaded in an attempt to give the publishing community, as well as Publishing Program students, an opportunity to network and share points of view about the future of publishing while hearing from publishing experts. The launch featured a Q&A with Eli Horowitz and Paul Collins - both with ties to McSweeney's. There were over 100 people celebrating the launch at Artist Repertory Theater. The series will continue later in the spring with a panel discussion featuring middle grade and YA publishing professionals.
