Color Theory

Color Wheel

Favorite Color:
   My favorite color is dark grey, reason is because it's a dark color. Though I guess most of the dark colors are my favorite. If you haven't guessed already, I really don't like bright colors. Ill use bright colors if needed but that won't always happen, or in my case anyway. Dark grey is used on most cars including my favorite car. Dark grey has been used in iconic things like super heroes. And by that I mean Batman. And I guess the time where the Blackest Night happened in the DC universe. Anyway that is why I like dark grey.

Least Favorite Color:

     

     My least favorite color is white, reason because it hurts my eyes. That and I'm used to the dark, not wanting to go outside hissing at the brightness. White is also a very boring color, in my opinion, because it doesn't show something that makes it stand out. Except the fact that its really bright. its like Yin and Yang in a sense since their pretty much each others opposite. Now I can't think of any other reason on why I don't like white. 

Color Theory:

       Color theory is the way to show energy and creation towards logos and drawings, etc. It can show the artistic ability in peoples drawings following dark or bright colors. Having the use of shade or tint colors. the creativity using the three main colors of the color wheel, Red, Blue and yellow. Also the use of secondary colors, which are violet, green and orange. Then mixing secondary and primary colors for tertiary colors. 

Illustrator

Sketch

My Sketch in Adobe illustrator
I sketched an ice cream cone to create in adobe illustrator. I mostly used shapes and color to make my drawing look like an ice cream cone. With this, I used my drawing to have be recreated in adobe illustrator. For this I used the shaper tool to create shapes like a triangle and a circle. Making these shapes required the mouse to form a shape and the shaper tool will do the rest for you.




Creating my Sketch in Illustrator
Creating my design on illustrator was not as easy until you obviously get used to the shaper tool. That or I can't follow directions that well. Anyways, until I was used to using the abilities with the shaper tool, it had gotten easier to use. The process to use the shaper tool like erasing shapes to add other shapes to form something else wasn't as easy as you would think.

Illustrator 
How I think with illustrator is more on the iffy side. To think on the realistic side, using illustrator for a logo design for a company or job would be great to use. Having it used for drawings or to create something on the fly isn't how feel about it. I'd rather be free drawing show my skills than using an application. but I'm probably saying this because I'm still not used to using Illustrator.

SketchBook Drawing

Artistic point of view and details

     For my sketchbook drawing, I mostly went for logos over typography and also having color. Though I didn't color the background because I was to lazy. Anyways, I chose logos because I found it representing what graphic design can be. I also didn't know what else to draw that shows typography and found it easier to draw up with logos. Now for the color aspect, I wanted to give something that represents the logos in their own way. That and people would most likely be annoyed with the absent of color. Since I don't have a lot of color to begin with. 

7 Key Elements to Graphic Design

     How I used the 7 key elements to my sketchbook drawing is to show what my drawings are about overall. Like the use of color that brings out the logos to make them look appealing. This also follows with texture and contrast. Then using size and shape, my sketch can end up covering space that I want filled or having shape that gives logos a unique sense of style. Also having to use value for the logos light or dark aspect of itself. 

What I liked about my work/Sketching process 

     The fact that I'm able to free draw over something I like is the greatest thing in the world. I liked the way my drawings looked then something I would draw back 4 years ago. I also enjoyed what kind of logo I was able to draw like the Nightwing logo or the Batman logo. Now for the sketching process, I went for trial and error for each of my drawing. This also gets me better to draw the same drawing to make it look good.    

e9 Web Project

Reflection: 
The e9 Web Project  was to create a website that shows how to make links, headings, and creating a basic website.
The process: 
for making the e9 website was using and learning the basics over DreamWeaver Adobe. This lead on making the website. Things I learned was on creating the basic websites and how to create links.

Things to do Differently/Same
Theres nothing really to change when we were put through a tutorial to create a basic website.


Conclusion:
 Anything involving web is very hard, annoying, and cool all at the same time.

The Rule of Thirds

     The Rule of Thirds:
Today you are about to learn about the rule of thirds and what does the rule of thirds do. The rule of thirds follows up on having an object not being in the middle of a shot. Keeping someone along the four power points to create a better shot.

Tutorial:
Basically, you keep two or more objects to have outside of middle shot. this makes the shot have a better interest in characters and important aspects for the movie.

Rule Of Thirds

Chase Scene

Reflection: 

The Chase Scene shows how to take shots from a point A to point B sequence.  In this video, One student leaves the bathroom just to become tagged by another student. Then led on to a chase throughout the school.

Process: 

process on making the chase scene was creating multiple shots following  the rule of thirds and the axis line. Also to have the 6 shots in making your clips for the chase scene. Things I learned through this project is to have a good sequence and to have 20 shots for a one minute video.

Things I would have Differently/Same: 

I would have done a better job on editing the shots to have a better sequence of the video. Also to have a good understanding of the video's story. I also would want to add music and sound effects in the chase scene. Things to keep the same is idea for the video.

Conclusion:

I had fun making this chase scene with my partner Brett.

Sequence Video

Reflection:
The sequence video is showing a sequence of shots following up the last shot to create a smooth video. The video needs the 6 shots system and to follow the axis line at all times. Then to have record each shot to put it in one video.

Process:
Taken each shot and smacking it into one video. Applying the 6 shots and the rule of thirds. Also to follow the axis line.


What I learned: 
I learned on how to further edit videos to create a sequence of a or the story. Using all or most of the 6 shots and following the axis line. I also learned on keeping each shot being 3-4 seconds.

Conclusion: 
I would have added all 6 shots in the video.
