Final

          On our last assignment in e9 we had to get in groups and come up with our very own marketing product. The process was frustrating, fun, and it was a difficult yet easy task. We had rotations: graphic/web design, video, and animation. We were all in charge of doing our own task. Coming up with product was the hard part, the rest was easier. Though it was easy, my group bumped heads along the way. Some days it was challenging for us cooperate and some days we got along perfectly well. When it was time to present our products to the rest of the groups, each person in my group knew exactly what to do when introducing our products. The project as a whole was a good experience and I enjoyed it very much. I learned to cooperate and to just cool down when we disagreed on terms. My team showed me how to make better features on my part of the project which was very helpful and it made it a success. What i would do diffrently next time is make my own work better. I could add more colors here, be more organized and make everything look much cleaner. The project helped in many ways and I'm glad we did this for out last time in e9.

        When I was in graphic design for the rotation when we were working on the project, I was in charge of making the ad. I used Adobe Illustrator. I got a visual of what i wanted the bag to look like. I wanted to make it simple and I wanted the font of the words to be simple yet you can also see it and wont take away the attention of the bag.

         When I was in animation working on the project i was in charge of making the packaging. Since it was a bag we were making i decided it would come in a box. I made the sure i got the color blue and more dark colors. This is because the logo for our group has just different types of blue and I wanted the packaging to go along with the logo yet when i put the logo on the corner of the box, I wanted it to stand out.

       

          When I was in video everyone had to do his or her own video. When we were filming I was one of the actors and I came and gave everyone sandwiches from The Bag. When we were done filming we all got the clips we needed and started working on our own videos. I used the tools i needed and even though we chose Alana's video, I still enjoyed making my last video here in e9.When I was in video everyone had to do his or her own video.

We are making a product in e-comm! The students in e9 are put into groups and each group is responsible to come up with their own product.  My group and I came up with the product "THE." It stands for Technology Helps Everyone. "THE" is a bag that when you need something, all you have to do is reach into the bag, ask for what you want, and then you will pull that exact object out of "THE" bag! So in order for people not to be able to abuse the product, the product comes with limitations. During the commercial, you saw things you can pull out of "THE" bag. "THE" can get you anything from money to trophies to even sandwiches. Remember though that "THE" bag does have its limits. You have to treat it carefully, but make sure to show it off in the streets nd even help your friends when they are hungry. Get "THE" bag, it sure does help everyone.

Photoshop Projects

Photoshop Project 2: Monarch Butterfly

We had to make a butterfly in Photoshop. The only colors the butterfly originally started with was orange, black, and white. What we had to do was make the butterfly's wings different colors. To change the colors we pressed Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. to make the wings all fluttery you pressed "B" to get the brush. You then pressed option while clicking on a spot on the butterfly. Then you just click and drag where you want it to flutter.

Photoshop Project 3: Northwest

What we had to do in this project was put the word Northwest with it showing the school in the background.  We start with the background we used in project 1 and then we just go to the text tool. We adjust it so the text can go horizontal. We wright the text and change the size so it can fit the whole picture. We select everything but the word and then change the color go the selected area adjusting the opacity.

Project 4: Collage

What we had to do was photoshop the ravens head, a hall, the administration, and information areas into the school. We had to cut out the shape of the ravens head. We had to select all, and then copy it into the school. Then we had to change the flu of all the pictures to lighten the stroke of them.

Project 1:Compass

We had to put a compass and the put the letters ONW onto the school. We selected the compass with command A and then did command C to copy it. Then you had to click the text tool and write the letters ONW and change the color with the fill button.

My Cube

 

 

 

        In this project we had to make a cube. The cube is 3-dimmensional and it represents my journey here in e-communication so far. The classes I had were animation, film, and right now I'm currently in graphic design.

        My first stop was animation. Reasons I enjoyed the class was because it was making cartoons. We put in sound effects and made our very own "show," even though it was just one episode. We also got to make our very own dream house. It gave me some experience and I'm glad I got to be apart of it.

        My second stop was film. I learned how to use the cameras and learned the basics of filming. Even though sometimes the class got frustrating, it was worth it in the end. It was also an amazing when I compared my first video with my last video and I saw the improvements. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take the class and learn about film.

        I am currently in graphic design. In this class we learned about colors, shapes, types of fonts, and the organization of websites. How they make it all seem very neat and clean. We got to use Illustrator and we are currently in Photoshop. This class has been fun so far and I can't wait to learn more.

My Personal Logo

In this project we had to make our own personal logos. Our personal logos had to represent us and have a greater meaning behind it. Everything in the logo is very important; color, shape, size and even font.

My logo consists of my name in a rectangle. I put my name on a grayish/whitish rectangle to make it stand out more. My name is being showed as 3-dimmensional. I tried making it as simple as I could because I just think that the more simple, the better.

I chose these colors because they looked nice and fresh. They also went with the background they're on and I thought it looked good. The font is Fortuna. The font is beautiful; and it put everything together.

This would be my logo because it's simple. The colors look nice and it's not too complex and not crazy-looking. 

My Pathfinder Shape

This is my shape i made using the pathfinder tutorial. I have the star in the center covering one corner of each square. The shapes i used were rectangles, a star, and arced lines.  The rectangles were sent to the back and i drew arced lines and sent them to the front. The star I put in the very center and had it overlap one of the corners of each rectangle.

My Personality Font

 

My personality font is Pistilli Roman. My four words that describe me that got me this font are emotional, traditional, assertive, and disciplined. Pistilli is emotional because it's arousing. How it relates to my personality is because when I saw the font it aroused me to it. It held my interest. The next word is traditional. I like to keep things old fashion. I am a big believer of old sayings. The next word is assertive. Assertive means having or showing a confident or forceful personality. I'm not shy at all and when I need to find answers, I will speak up and ask. Pistilli roman's font isn't hard to miss. When you see it it's hard to ignore it since the majority of the letters have swirls. It's out there. The final word is discipline. The font isn't too crazy. It has a hint of gentleness in it's swirls. How it relates to my personality is that I know how to handle situations as best as I can. I have my feeling all controlled and I try to keep everything as gentle going as possible.
