Typefaces

Image
                  While doing this project I learned that theres more to typing then I thought. I didn't know there were different names for every part of the letter and that there was so many types of founts that you should use for different things. In this project we named the different parts of letters and what the parts mean.            Now I know that there are many different parts of type and letter and how to identify them. I also learned that theres a lot that goes into making designs with picking the font to make sure it matches the theme of the design. I enjoyed getting to know all that goes into typefaces and I'm excited to get to know more and how I can improve my skill with typing and typefaces.

My Color Wheel

Image
                 For this project we made a color wheel using adobe illustrator. We made the circles,triangles and squares using the shape tools. The put them in the correct spots and added the color. We did this project to learn about the color wheel and about different colors that correspond.      From making my color wheel I now know how to use adobe illustrator.  I also know more about the color wheel and how diffrent colors work together and how color patterns are made. I enjoyed using illustrator it was pretty simple and I'm excited to use it in the future. About graphic design I really enjoyed it and I'm extremely excited for the future.      I think I did pretty okay on my project I had a few mistakes and questions but for my first time I think I did pretty okay. The next time I use illustrator I think I need to work on how I organize everything and my time management. I also need to not ...

 This logo uses the analogous colors of 3 different shades of blue. The company probably used these colors to make there drink look refreshing. This logo uses the analogous colors of green,yellow green, and yellow. these colors were probably chosen because they don't only look good together but they catch your eyes.  The FedEx logo uses the complementary colors of blue and orange.  These colors were probably use to show that the company is loyal. This logo uses the complementary colors of red and green. The colors  look good together so it makes it look like there food is good too.  This logo uses the cool colors of blue and green.

Challenge 3

         This is the third and final video project I did in class and it was by far the hardest. I thought after doing it twice before it would be easy, i was wrong. I had probably the best most creative group but finding a topic for our film and finding a story line took a really long time. After we got one we started filming.          Some of our shots were outside so we decided to do those first. Getting out there we already had some problems. It was kinda windy and really cold we had some continuity errors because of the on coming traffic. After day one of shooting all our outside shots were done. The second day we had alot of major issues. It took us about 20 minuets to get the tripod how we wanted it. it kept falling and not working but after we got it we got through most the shots and only had about two left. The next day was the day we were spose to edit. My team had to finish filming but we had to make it quick so we got the b...

Making a website

Image
     Making a website on was was simpler then I had thought. The videos made it super easy to follow along and go back when I got lost. First I put in my own text and name and put in a picture I had. After filling everything out I found out how to make a new page and link the first and second pages together. Then I added links from other websites. After I had all my links in he website I changed the colors so it was more appealing.      While making this website I learned how to use and read code which before I thought was just a whole bunch of colored number letters and symbols with no meaning at all. I also now know how to use dreamweaver and how to add my own projects and content to a website and make it my own.       I think my website was pretty good for my first one and that there are a few things I could have done better but overall I think its pretty good. Now that I know how to make a website I enjoyed the process and would enjoy...

Challenge 2

     Creating this film was so much easier then creating my last one. This time we knew how to work the camera and tripod and didn’t have any trouble knowing exactly what shots we wanted and how we wanted them to look. It was a little different this time because I was infront of the  camera instead of behind it.       We didn’t have many ideas for what we wanted the film to be we all just gave our own ideas and they all turned out to fit together to make this film. We decided on a student coming in to finish a homework in the library and turn it into their teacher. We gave multiple obstacles on the way like the library being locked there being stuff in the middle of the hall and the teacher not being in there classroom.        Using premier pro for editing takes a while to get used to and to get to know how to use it correctly and wisely. After I got the hang of it it was easy to use and I got through editing pretty quick and ...

Challenge 1

    How To Print a Doc.     In creating this film I enjoyed filming and story boarding the project.  In my group I mostly choose what angles we would film at and where the video would be shot. Making this video I found out how to use and work with a tripod and how to edit and add audio to my own film. I also now how important it is to communicate and take leadership when a person in your group is gone so that you can make a plan for what to do when you have a missing person. Also that taking leadership is important so that everyone knows what there doing and to make a solid plan that everyone understands.           If I were to redo this project I would redo the story board to make it more clean and have a better idea on what wee going to do before we start filming. The next time I do a project like this I will keep my editing program I really enjoyed how simple it was to work with and how it made the video turn out.   ...
