I chose animation because I got an interest in animation after watching a youtuber create an animation over his character in a video game. I watch other yotubers do the same thing. I also am fasinated of how each frame of a drawing creates now motion animation. I also watched animation shorts created by other youtubers based over video games or cartoons. Theres also why I did animation, mostly because I didn't want to do video.
1. The 2nd semester project was a group project that makes you create a product to produce and publish for a presentation. The project uses all the skills you learn throughout 1st semester and a little in 2nd semester. The project also lets you use communication skills to work together and to have fun meeting new peers. unless you're lucky and get your best friend etc.
The project took as long as the days that we were given to us. I can't really explain on how long the project took other than that each graphic design were finished on time. the video took a little longer to edit and the animation needed more time to finish. The 2d one.
Challenges on the project were probably the video because it took forever to gain access to the gym. All of the gyms were being used in the morning for once until someone was fine with us shooting the video during their class time.
I learned that making a product takes a lot longer than I thought it would be. Working with others has never been my strong suit and I learned that it will never be my strong suit. Making an animation with little remembrance is very annoying. I also learned that communication is key in group projects.
I don't remember any feedback for our presentation other than that the video was really good. And that the confidence in us were great.
There was very little change with the graphic designs and the video. other changes were mostly in the website with the arrangements. Also changes to what the websites colors were going to be and the pages to which link will go to.
My overall work in 4th quarter was pretty bad. But that is only for animations, the 2d animations. my graphic designs were good and better than how I would make before. That kinda would go for my editing in video, I would work more in editing and earning over the software. That goes for the animation as well.
2. Most of the class time was put into creating the graphic designs and the 2d animation. Though my animation wasn't used and my ad was the design that was used only. I wasted most of time in video.
Using productivity mostly went on making graphic designs and a little in my animation. when I finished, I went and sees if I can make it look better or try something that would work on the graphic design. When I finished editing my video, I was done and didn't do anything else.
Doing things outside of class would be drawing things that I would like to see happen. Like my moms logo that I still need the make. I also watch youtubers that have really good editing in their videos. One of the you tubers I watch is really good at more of a 3d animation and 2d animations.
3. Find something I'm good at and exploit that ability to its fullest to show what I'm capable of. That only happens with my drawings. Anything else will show lazy work unless I'm into it. Also if I'm into what I'm doing, I will try my best to make it the I what it to that will look good.
4. Improvements for me would be to figure out more about each software to show my abilities. More improvements in animating that would look good to me. I don't care if someone thinks its bad when I think its good.
5. What I loved the most about this semester was using everything that was taught to us students to create one entire product. I also loved that I got to be in olsons and coopers class again.
I wouldn't change much of anything unless the presentation can go away permanently. other than that, I see nothing wring with how the system works.
One goal I would like to make for next year is to go by the days with nothing to lose. going through life finishing things before I lose the chance in my life.
My final thoughts on anything is that next year for Ecomm is going to be a good one to where I won't quit.
This project is to understand the meaning of CARp and how to use the CSS in dreamweaver. Like the two files created, the first is a file without the use of CARP. The second actually uses it.
Contrast:
Contrast consists with usage of color, size, text size. Using these on covers (example) to brighten the mood with heading making it stand out more. It catches the eye of people when they are reading.
Alignment:
Alignment consists with flush left, flush right, and justice aligns the text left right or stretched out. This brings out the text, making the words easier to read.
Repetition:
Repetition is is just reacting the use of contrast and alignment. this keeps the poem (project) looking clean and professional. In the project, I used the same colors for most of the poem to keep consist.
Proximity:
Proximity keeps the structure of the project being grouped together saying that these items are related to each other. Having items far away will keep these items ungrouped saying that their unrelated. For the project, The text is kept closer together because they relate to one another.
New things learned?
Having the use of the properties and to change the layout with margins. The change of color using the ink pad thing to have multiple colors.
Creating my logo when sketching was me literally drawing a car creating tire smoke having the creation of my last name. though I dropped the car because it made the logo a bit to big. Using a tire made the logo look more as a logo then a drawing/ illustration.
Logo Illustrator:
My logo making in illustrator is the same explanation for my logo in sketch. Having the logo have a wheel (not sure if this design of the wheel already exists) in black with grey tire smoke coming off to create my last name. Reason I used black and grey is because tires are black and smoke resembles smoke.
Opinion?:
My opinions over my logo is honestly, could have been made better. though I'm not as good with using the adobe illustrator as I am in sketching. But either way I could have made the tire better along with my name having an illusion with the smoke coming from the tire.
Drawing twenty different flowers was very similar with all the flowers. Not saying their all the same because they have petals and stems. Drawing flowers were a lot tougher trying to keep a stable look on each flower. Having which the petals keeping a similar size and the size of the flowers. The uniqueness of each flower did make them really fun and challenging which made it look rewarding. Like the roses I drew or the the flower in the top left of my sketch.
Flowers in Illustrator:
I drew a flower that looked like a flower depending on how you see it. On my sketch, I can tell that the drawing looked like a flower. but when creating the drawing on illustrator, it could look like anything. though I drew this flower because it looked cool and unique than the other flowers. But I don't think you will found this flower in real life. When using colts for the image, nothing really stood out except for the one I chose obviously.
My personality type is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and perceiving. Or ISFP, and the way I see it is a person who requires alone time to achieve he/she's greatest goals. someone who likes to look out for someone that works in the shadows. Celebrities that share the same personality type are John Travolta, Zac Efron, and Drew Barrymore.
Does the description match the personality of mine?
The description that shows my personality type is how I need to be mostly by myself to work at my best. In other words, to be a complete shut in that can get stuff done. Everything else that was in the description didn't describe may personality all that well.
I honestly didn't need the description to better understand on who I really am. The way I do things can be shown to help me understand. The way I play or work just show who I am or can be in the present or future.
Clarification for the role I play:
My personality type that plays my role on a team, in my family, or being a part of something is someone who sits in the shadows giving support when they most need it. Though I still need to help in a way that shows I'm supporting my team/family/ anything I can be on.
A Misunderstanding:
I have probably been mistaken for things that doesn't make true for who I am. Though not sure if its because of my personality type. Like when I'm in school sleeping on my desk, people wonder if I'm depressed. No, I'm just really, really, really, sleepy all the time. People I have Quote issues with would be my brother. Its not because he's just my brother, more than that. We also learned that he is an extravert. Like when he just butts in my business without asking, or is that what siblings just do?
Things I have learned:
Things i've learned throughout this project is one, about my personality type. I understand full well about me being a introvert but everything else, I didn't know. Showing how my personality explains the way I interact with other people.
LOBGR Personality Test:
As the name suggests, the LOBGR shows your personality traits with 4 animals. Those being a lion, beaver, otter, and a golden retriever. My strongest personality trait is the golden retriever, which is good at making friends and being very loyal. Retrievers also do not like big changes that need security. Being very sensitive and having a deep relationship, but only having a at least two close friends. My second strongest trait is a beaver, which are very organized. They believe the right way to do everything and want to do it in the book. Beavers are also creative with the desire of solving everything. they don't like sudden change.
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.
