Teresa Worthy Hurt's Portfolio Spring 2026

I still struggle with how to create layers; I was managing to change color to black and white photos. I learned how to vectorize the image on the one I choose. But with the tools I have been working on using different tools several times, and I ended up with the white blank page again. I don’t know how to save the layers. I did the best as much as i could. I still am learning but the more I practice, it took me almost two whole days and I always ended up failing but never giving up. The more I spend, I ended up with a massive migraine which I already am diagnosed with chronic migraines. I just wish there was a simple video that would help me understand more. At least I did manage to get this right creating from the image that I chose to vectorize it. And I managed to change colors. Again, I believe I will never use Illustrator again, but I will continue to practice until I get this learning completed.

I chose the landscape theme with trees in the middle of nowhere and beautiful mountains and the beautiful lake.

This assignment for the final is very challenging and took me two days to figure everything out but running out of time. I still struggle with how to put in trailer clips so I just add the picture of the song I chose to use my America Sign language and follow by the lyrics as it sings out while I sign at the same time. I still struggle with how to put my ending so I ended up giving up and submitting as what I have since it’s running out of time. This video is the best I could. I need to keep practicing on this video editing but I believe I won’t ever be able to succeed at this which is my HONEST opinion and I'm laughing about it. I believe this is the most hard challenge for me cuz I never had to hear the audio and make sure I follow but using my iPhone  to follow the lyrics that’s how I follow the music as it goes.

This is the hardest challenging project. It took me a few days to complete everything, and I have failed so many times. I keep watching YouTube to create animated videos. Every time I did the Illustrator then to Express then to Pro, I ended up failing or messing everything up. I couldn't keep my mind focused, and I kept ending up with massive migraines because of stress trying to figure things out. I keep trying to figure everything out, but it seems I couldn't at this moment. I just submitted as I could because I have given up. As I know for fact, I will never create animated videos for the rest of my life, but I know it's part of my assignment. I admire all the other students' work because they can accomplish better than I could. I couldn't figure out how to animate the landscape a few times. I tried to figure out how to animate the whole pictures and I tried to figure out how to make everything move but I couldn't. So, I used the first animated video and added a couple more things. I know that I would lose my points for this assignment. At least I have put in effort for the past few days now. I can show my failed projects, if necessary, (laughing out loud making me feels little embarrassed though)
