typography

     For this project I knew what quotes I wanted to use with out thinking about it too much. the quotes I used are ones I tell myself everyday and ones I live by. To start I went on da font.com and I downloaded at least 15 fonts just to have handy and so I could try a whole bunch of different styles without having to guess what the word will look like with the font.

      After I put my quotes in styles and fonts I liked I added some pictures to go along with them. during this process I got done rather fast so I decided to add other quotes just so I had more to choose from. I had at least 8 black and white put together quotes and after playing around with them I choose my best 4.

     As I started to add color I changed a lot about some of my quotes. Theres some I changed completely and like a lot more then the original version. I also added some more effects to the quotes as I added color. As I added more color I also added more graphics and designs as well as moved some things around. I also ended up changing some fonts and rearranging most my designs.


       One of my black and white quotes I didn't really like but wasn't to sure how to make it look good. I started just adding colors and shapes to it. I decided to just restart the whole thing. I looked online for different layouts and fonts and found a layout I enjoyed and stated messing around with colors for it.

       I enjoyed using black and white to make my quotes first so I had an idea of what I wanted to do when I added color and it cut out the stress of what colors look good together at the end. it kept me more organized and less stressed because I didn't have to worry about color. It made it easier to add color later and it also helped me find flaws in the work that I could fix.

     Adding color after also made it easier to find a color pattern because there was less to worry about all I had to think about was color. This was my best work I've made all year and I'm proud of my finished product. I really enjoyed making this project and playing around with the letters and colors and see what I liked and disliked with my designs.

     As you can see my finished product looks totally different from my black and white ones and I really like how they turned out and hope we do another project like this soon. I learned a lot about typography and I would enjoy to learn more and see what else I can create.

Over the year we had a lot of great projects, one of my favorites was the typography project. In this project we used quotes that relate to us and used different colors and fonts to display our quotes. I enjoyed this project because it was super fun to make and at the end I was very proud of how they looked. This project took a few weeks to complete and I faces many challenges. One was finding what fonts and layouts looked good with the quotes. There was trial and error and deleting and restarting. Going into the project I had no idea what any what I wanted to look like. Playing around with the quotes gave me more of an idea of how I wanted them to look. Playing around with format, font, and colors was very fun and relaxing to me. I tried a lot of different styles and designs till i was happy with what I made.  After I made the 4 that was required and I liked how they look I had a few extra days. I wanted to make some extra quotes just so I had more to choose from and see if I could

Sketch up house

Sketch up house      Sketch up was a difficult program to work with. I had some issues with getting things where i wanted them to be, but after a while I got the hang of it. Creating the house was way harder then i thought. I had trouble making the roof and doors and putting them in the right spot.       After I got everything where it needed to be it was time to add textures. The first color i put on my house was an bright green an it looked horrible. So I  had to make some changes, I put a nice light brown on my house and it looked a lot better.  I added a lake to my house and it may not be the prettiest but its a lake. As well a the lake I put a nice deck to match the front porch.   Making my animation was the easiest part of this assignment. All I did was get pictures of all the side of my house put then into a scene. I think my house and animation was turned out way better then I expected. But while making it I thought it was going to look horrible. I was very behin
