For another part of this module we are expected to create a logo and an ident for are selves so that we can brand are selves in the industry. I wanted to do something motion graphicy or in 3D so I looked at idents on youtube and I came across an effect that someone does using polygons in After Effects and I really liked it so I wanted to see if I could try and create a similar effect.
I did this effect by using the mask tool and created a polygon out of that and then added an effect called 'radio waves' which made polygons come out in radial waves and so I tweaked some of the settings of the radio wave effect and added some keyframes in there as well. I then added a gradient ramp effect in there and made that the indicator as a start and finish point for the polygons to go around. I then added an adjustment layer so that the polygons would appear as if its going round in a circle, I did this by using an effect called 'time displacement'. After I did all that I just added a background and tweaked some more things to the way I liked them and I got this effect below.
After looking back at it I thought it wasn't going to be my logo or ident because I thought that it didn't really represent me as a 3D animator and visual effects artist. But I do still like the effect I've created and I'll probably us it in another future project. I did try this out with a logo that I designed and I asked people what they thought and they liked it but if I want my ident to reflect on the work that I produce then I need to create a better ident that demonstrates that.
