Andrew Phelps, departement chair of RIT’s Interactive Games & Media spoke at Adobe MAX to show some of the amazing projects that came out of this year’s senior team project course. Some of these awesome projects include our Sociable Table, Weather the Weather, and Puddle.

Our professor of New Media Design & Imaging also spoke at the Educator’s Conference which focused in depth on our Sociable Table.

Sociable Table made it to one of the 3 finalists in th Non-Browser Based Category, and Cinema Flash made it to the Honorable Mentions in the Photography Category!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Adobe will be paying for a round trip ticket and the hotel for all finalists to spend 5 nights in Beijing to attend the award ceremony, and the Icograda Conference! This is remarkably unbelievable…  This all goes thanks to my teammates for both projects, whom I will be representing in Beijing, to see the final results of the competition!

I submitted couple of my projects to Adobe Design Achievement Awards a month ago. I found out that all my projects; Cinema Flash, Sociable Table, and Eco Hero had become Semi Finalists fot the Photography, Non-Browser, and Browser category! Woo Hoo!!

Many of my colleagues from RIT were in the Semi-Finalists too. Go RIT!

I decided to get some of my projects printed on awesome paper-ness. The two eco hero posters were wide format prints, and the Cinema Flash prints were around 8″x12″. They were printed on photo pearl paper which gave them nice gloss to the pieces, and had really nice thickness to it too. I love RIT, especially because of it amazing printing facilities. The prints all together cost around $60 to print, and I’m really happy with how it came out.

I’m currently fixing many of the cinemaflash prints, but once they’re done, I’m thinking of printing them in limited quantities. Anyone interested in buying the prints?

Oh, and I also finished the tree print for CinemaFlash. I made changes to her leg, so it looks more like she’s growing out of the tree root.

I’m still working on the artist print, and the underwater shoots. Hopefully it’ll be done soon.

My in progress of the “Artist” for the first series, “Occupation”. One of our foundations drawing teacher at RIT was our model. I’m going to add more lines to finish it up.

2 more to go!!

I just had to put this up… The version files for the dev of the Sociable table were all named very uniquely.

My favorites are version ‘poop squiggley 9000HD’ and ‘Mega zebra bunny’ LOL

Of course,  we had to rename all the files to organize everything in the end.
