Voices: My Creative Journey

Voices: My Creative Journey

Introduction:
For this project I was required to explore the story of my creative journey by looking into my past and rediscover what events in my life has inspired me to become the person that I am today. Then we were required to create an audio visual narrative on Adobe Spark to tell the story of those events. I recorded the voice over using spark, along with visuals created in Photoshop.

Once the narrative is finished I am required to share a link to the social media page for the class.


Materials:
Hardware: iPad, MacPro, Wacom Tablet
Software: Illustrator Draw; Illustrator CC, Photoshop
Platforms: Creative Cloud, Behance

Creative Process:
First I wrote down the things that were important to me as a kid and picked out the ones that I thought were the most influential on me. I then organized it by the time when it happened so I can create a time line of each thing. After I got everything organized I decided to start the voice recording. I looked at each of the different things and figured out of to convey the message in a clear and simple way to keep it short. 

After I decided what the most important parts were I started recording the voice over using Adobe Spark.

For the visuals I ended up drawing childish cartoons in photoshop. I choose a childish style because I thought that my major influences came from when i was a kid so that I should use that style. Each of the visuals relates to the voice over that I did for the project. 


Audience: 14-18 years old high school students
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to inspire highschool students to explore their own life to in order to find the career path that they will enjoy doing. 
PRODUCTION METHODS & WORKFLOW:
I first recorded the major events in my life on Google Docs.
I filtered out the things that I thought that wasn't important and wrote a script based on those important things.

After I recorded the voice over for the creative journey.
The graphics were made with photoshop after the voice recording were finished, and added into the video via Adobe Spark Video.

CONCLUSION:
This project taught me how to make a simple story telling using Adobe Spark, by using a voice over and simple graphics to tell a narrative. 

If I can do it again in the future I would like to spend more time to discover my past (ask my parents/ siblings) so I can gather more information to make it more in depth. 
I would also like to practice doing the voice over because I think that my voice can be a bit boring to listen to. I would also like to spend more time to refine my graphics to make it look more clean.
