e9 final project

Image
Over the course of my freshman year I've learned a lot during my first hour, e-communications. I learned that graphic design affects everyday life a lot more then you'd expect. Graphic are everywhere you look. They're made to help sell a product. Graphics are on buildings and in magazines. When graphic designs are done well they can make you buy something you wouldn't otherwise. In animation I learned how to make a figure online and make a moving/ 3-d image. In video i learned that you can't just film things and piece them together. There is a lot more thought process behind everything. In web I learned that you can't just piece a website together you have to code everything. Our product is the scented socks. Scented socks make you feet have wonderful scents. They come in multiple smells. They smell for the wonderful price of 24.99$. They come in every color you can think of. They're extremely useful in everyday life. Here is a few of the things that i ...

Teamwork.

Image
team·work noun the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient. 3/25/15- Today in e-communications, we got put into groups of four and were asked to make lego items by using different methods of teamwork. each group had different strength and worked better doing different things. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. In my team it worked well when Ian talked us through it. He has good leadership and describing skills.  in my team it was hard to not be able to talk. The people in my group are the type of people who need to talk in order to make a good product.

RISK website

During this project i learned a lot about how dreamweaver works and the struggles of making a website. If i was to redo this project id probably watch and do more what the video is saying. During the process of doing this website i struggled with an issue that had with scrolling. i fixed this problem by talking to Mr. Olsen and getting help.  He added a </div> into one of the codes and it fixed the scrolling issue. Website design isn't sometime id like to do but I'm glad i did this project. overall i think my website could have been better and i wish i hadn't missed a day. Web design isn't easy but If i had more time to work with it, it would've been easier to make a website.

House

Image
This is my dream home. In this project we were suppose to design a one story house. Before we even started actually making the house on the app SketchUp we looked at different models of one story houses that we could turn into an animated house. Once we found a house that we liked we went to SketchUp and started making the actual house. After that we added in details to make the house more realistic. After the house was done we turned it into an animation by having the viewer watch different pans of the house.  During this project i learned a lot about the app SketchUp and how it works. I learned to pay attention to detail and take time on the project. i probably would like to do a two story house next time, but i like how my house turned out so i would do a one story house like the one i just did again. Overall i liked this project a lot.

Animation; A man, A corn-dog, And A loss.

This video shows a happy man who swings, and dances but isn't content until he remembers the taste of the wonderful corn-dog. He decides to get a corn-dog but then someone took it from him! *gasp* follow tim the stick man in this crazy adventure and tale of love and loss. -In this project the main concept was to take nothing and make moving art into a store. We were also asked to use sound and effects to help make the image give an illusion that its moving. -Before we went to the computer we made a storyboard showing details about the story we wanted to tell. After that was done we went to keynote and made what we imagined on the computer. We then after went to iMovie and finished our projects adding sounds. We then after exported it and put it on blogger. -During this project i learned a lot about how animation is made and the different ways that its made. i also learned that its easier to duplicate the whole thing and move little pieces to make it flow. -In my next projec...

Winter final

Happy holidays and Merry finals season.  In my 1st semester of E-Communications I learned a bunch about computers and the programs that make up E-Communications.  Some programs I've used are- -Dreamweaver  -Final cut pro -Photoshop  -Illustrator  Some projects I've done are- -Videos -Websites -Photo editing  Last year around this time i sent in a submission into the E-Communications program. Early this year i found out that i was accepted into the program, of course i had to accept because how many times do you get the chance to do something like this? Since Olathe Northwest isn't my feeder school i had be a transfer. During last school year i tried out for the Ravens dance team, which really helped with the transfer to a new school and everything. E-Communications really helped me make friends and meet people who are into the same things as me. Going to Olathe Northwest has helped me plan for my future and make long la...
