Projeto Popcorn
In this project I had to develop an object and create the brand for that same object.
In this project, in collaboration with Diana Pronto and Inês Viana, we developed a website for the company Olaria Paulo e Inês. We created menus for the work and projects they created. We also did a Portuguese and English version.
I developed a prototype for a game application in which I created its initial menu, a list of friends, the play button, a side menu, among other extra elements.

Video
Generic/ Final Credits- Wonder Woman
Motion Graphics
Genéric WonderWoman
In this project I aimed to create a generic for the "WonderWoman" film using images from the film itself as references in order to manipulate and animate the movement of each one. As background music I chose to use the song "Revolution" by Unsecret and Ruelle, which I chose to edit and adjust to the video.

To develop this project, we were inspired by Eugénio de Andrade's poem "Palavras Interditas", thus creating the short film from our point of view.
Project - Sagres (Freelancer)
3D Modeling and Animation
VH1 Marker
I developed two introductions/markers inspired by the television channel VH1 through 3D scenery and objects (4D cinema).
With the intention of making them somehow connected with each other.
In these projects I was inspired by the channel's current markers (the cubes and the logo). I inserted a radio and tablet with the aim of representing the concept of the television channel itself, as it is a channel that plays both older music (reference object: radio) and recent music (reference object: tablet). The scenarios created (beach and forest) were intended to locate each of these objects through a specific moment.
Diorama
In this project I developed a Diorama in 3D, with one of my favorite themes: Magic.
I decided to create a witch room where she have her own enchanted caldrum and her stuff.

About
Me...
My name is Joana Cruz.
I graduated in Fine Arts and multimedia, took a specialized course in Motion Graphics at the World Academy and completed some IEFP courses like,"UX/UI Design" and "Photography and Video Technologies".
I have several interests, including listening to music, playing games, nature, photography, traveling, learning and deepening my skills. I think this topic is important because it is through these elements that I find my inspirations, motivations and references for my projects.
When I was at school, the choice I chose to pursue was the visual arts, because since I was little I have always been interested and fond of the world of arts, making montages, drawing, dancing, music, animation, etc.
Over the years and due to my degree, (which ended up being quite comprehensive) I had the opportunity to explore both visual arts and digital arts. This experience made me realize that I like different types of art, however I ended up focusing more on the multimedia area.
