Semester 1 Final

Reflection

This semester I have learned a lot. Like using Photoshop and Illustrator. I like Photoshop personally because it is a lot easier to learn and I like photography and editing my photos better than making graphics on Illustrator. My two favorite Photoshop projects have been one of the first ones we did, which is the "Nature Man" one. I also really liked the Panorama one.

Nature Man

For this project we were given a picture of this man and a bunch of nature pictures. We had to put them together by using clipping masks to create a "Nature man". I do not remember how long this took because we did this project at the beginning of the year. I had trouble just getting started and trying to decide what I wanted my vision for him to be. I honestly just played around with it until I made something I liked. I learned how to use photoshop a lot better like using those clipping masks to put more than 1 picture together to create just one picture. The feedback I got was I did not use any blend mode or adjustment layers. I did not have time to make changes.

  Panorama

For this project we had to choose a theme and use 10 pictures to make one panorama. For my panorama my theme was the beach and I used pictures I took on some of my trips. Half were from Florida the other half were from Hawaii. I think this took me a couple a weeks again I can not really remember. Some challenges were just how to make all the pictures blend together right to make it look like they are both from the same place. I learned how to use different blend modes to fix that problem. The feedback I got was that there were a few areas that were a bit choppy which I tried my best to make it less choppy but like it is what it is. But then she did say overall this was really good and she said the colors were very beautiful. 

Thoughts 

Graphic design has been pretty fun so far. I just do not like using illustrator at all. The first quarter I liked better because like I said before I like taking my own pictures than getting to use Photoshop to edit. So I hope we learn more about photoshop.

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house.  I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

How To Print Out A Doc. At ONW

width="560"> Pre-Production Our creative process was to name all the steps first on how to create a document and print it out then we looked at all the shots and put them on our story board to see which type of shot would make sense for each scene.Then we each used the iPad to just take pictures of each shot. Then we decided that I would be the actor for the video and Jaidyn would be the director and film.  Filming Like I said before my role was just the actor and I learned that you have to act like the camera isn't there and not pay attention to other things around you. I also helped like place the iPad in the right places and i learned how to make your shots level and use the 3 thirds rule. Editing I also edited the video. I learned how to use premiere pro and how to put the videos together and make sure they make sense so the audience doesn't get confused or it does not look weird. I also learned how to add words onto the video and how to ad...

Point A To Point B

The Process For this project the goal was to film someone traveling to location A to location B while adding obstacles in their way. So the way our group brain stormed was we first decided the mood of the video and we decided on scary. Then we went location scouting to decide where our locations should be and we decided we wanted to end up in the auditorium and we wanted to make it ironic and we started by the auditorium doors. Then we tried to work on a story and first we had some trouble but then we decided that the main characters friend disappears and the main character is trying to find her friend and she is getting these strange notes that give her clues to where she is. After we brainstormed we started filming and the first day didn't work out well because I think everyone was not on the same page but then the second day of filming we all got on the same page and we got to filming and we got everything done except for the last few scenes that we did the 3rd day bu...
