About the overarching Unit Question:

The Reflections Project challenges Seniors to explore a question that is at once simple and deeply complex:

"Who am I?"

Experimenting with personal as well as lyrical essay forms, students develop insights about their experiences and identities before translating those ideas visually in various kinds of image productions, video essays, websites, mandalas, and short animations. Students deepen their technical communication skills by learning more skills with a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Substance Painter, Avid Pro Tools, Autodesk Maya, ZBrush, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, WordPress, and Google Apps.

About the specific project within the unit that is featured in this gallery:

As part of answering the question of the unit - "Who am I?", Digital Media Seniors were challenged to learn and use preset text animations in After Effects for their 7+ Core Values in life. Design elements include using color, font-style, and animation to uniquely convey each Core Value.
