Thursday 26th – The big blink trip

Today we all went to blink industries where we all watched each other’s logo loops and we received feedback on our logos from Nicola. Here are the notes I took for what we need to improve our logo.

Line consistency

Add more animals

Remove shadow of the logo

Blur the background

This Tuesday 31st is when the final due date is

Send our social media handles to miss Miriam via email

Side note:

After ending at 11:30, Mahtab invited me to tag along with Trisha, Jocasta, Leila, Kamila and Amy who were going to Westfield. We went around Tottenham, going to Japan centre where they did a miffy stamp rally. We ate Takoyaki and I got to nerd out about new tomodachi life game and mario galaxy movie after screaming seeing the fox McCloud poster for said movie.

Afterwards we went to a gachapon shop where I got two sanrio toys before then heading to skin Cupid where Nomana worked along with parting ways with Kamila.

Afterwards we finally headed to Westfield shepherd’s Bush. There we headed to the Japan centre there and they got their stamp while I got a strawberry and cream sandwich. We first headed to the Lego shop where we played and created Lego figures before heading to popmart where we browsed and purchased some figures. Here I learned that Jocasta was from Malaysia too. Then heading to Uniqlo to buy some clothes and afterwards we headed to HMV, browsing the toys and merchandise there, buying Kirby figures before Jocasta had to go home. We began heading to KENJI, separating from Amy and Leila and browsing even more stuff before heading to Miniso and browsing further toys and finally but briefly reuniting with Amy and Leila before they had to go home. Finally, Mahtab, Trisha and I ate ice cream and talking together about art, the final year, the downfall of sora ai and milo chocolate.

After this we walked to the train station before heading our separate ways, with me having to attend my grandmother’s 83rd birthday.

Today felt like a reward, and I feel so grateful for having the opportunity to spend time with and create new friends with amazing and kind people. I feel so happy.

Saturday 28th – final edits, hopefully

Today, Mahtab and I started the final edits and polishing of our blink logo. Mahtab added a shrimp to the logo to which I animated in after effects

Monday 16th – Joshua’s meeting

Our final meeting with Joshua. We were told to make the bird slightly bigger and to reduce the bobbing of the Blink floaters. Along with that to change the position of the person sculpting the S. Along with this, no presentation at all needs to be done, just get the logo done and export in a QuickTime, Image sequence and possibly GIF format to a OneDrive that is supposed to go live soon.

Wednesday 18th – More work I guess?

13:36 – The team plans to meet up at 7pm on discord for one more meeting before the submission of friday. Yeyint has sent me the redrawn person sculpting along with a new jellyfish.

21:36 – I animated the person sculpting and the sausage

Thursday 19th – Final edits?

I made some minor edits to the logo.

Monday 9th – Maliha’s meeting

Today we had a meeting with miss Miriam around 14:36 where we showed her the almost finished logo. She gave us a list of minor edits to do.

I Immediately began to try and slow down my waves while also trying to make sure it fits in the 3 second timeframe while also looping. It was harder than it sounds mainly due to the math involved and reshuffling of keyframes but I managed to slow down animation down to a third of what it once was and composite that specific part by 17:56 just before dinner. Any slower is not possible unfortunately otherwise the loop will look off.

Around 19:00 I joined the empty discord voice call to wait for the others and began to edit Yeyint’s tree by animating the leaves via adding more pins to hide leaves and also animate a coconut falling from the tree.

At 20:02 Yeyint sent me a version of his palm tree without the coconut to which I then used to replace the existing one in after effects which thankfully was compatible with the pin rig. Finally, Mahtab joined the call however Yeyint had guests over and couldn’t join.

Around 20:29 I had made the final touches and finished the logo and for the rest of the call Mahtab and I discussed the crab idea, unsure whether to go through with it since nippets didn’t seem to have a crab sprite in the game, before watching the Mario galaxy movie trailer around 9pm and doing and showing some personal and Brick lane project work, then finally logging off around 11pm.

Saturday 14th – I’m an insomni-maniac

It is currently 3:16am and I made some adjustments to the logo, mainly the coconut tree’s falling coconut.

3:26 – have just realised theres a minor glitch with the coconut and I am fixing it now.

3:51 – I’m so close to screaming, after effects’s viewport is not accurate to the final render where it shows a ton of bugs.

Sunday 15th – Sculpting S

Yeyint added a person sculpting the S so I added it.

Monday 2nd – Blink Logo refinement

No more big presentations
Just final delivery and polish
Maybe a small amount of time for presentation
One slide introduction
Second slide logo
When you’re called upon, start. Even if not everyone is here.
Our slides were the most stylised
Change the inflatables to purple or blue

SUBTLE LINE BOIL. 3 SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LINES PER SECOND. Or shot on twos

Using all these notes, along with the template and guidelines we set up in the canva page, we all began to refine our seperate sections of the logo.

Tuesday 3rd – Halfway there

Mahtab sent their finished letters and bouncing ball to which I them composed with my logo. This bled into the next day due to me finishing it around midnight of 04/03/26.

Wednesday 4th – Yeyint and Emmanuel

Yeyint and Emmanuel sent me their pieces to add to the final logo, with Emmanuel sending me his around midnight of Thursday 5th, leaving me time to rig and animate Yeyint’s palm tree before then.

Friday 6th – slightly bigger sausage

Yeyint made his T’s sausage slightly bigger.

Sunday 8th – Bird

Mahtab wanted me to add a bird to the B.
