My Dream House

My Dream House  



                                                                                                                                                            In our e-Communications class we have an animation segment. One of the projects we have is to make our own dream house in a program called Google SketchUp. The scope of the project was to learn how to use the program along with creating and bringing our own ideas to life. The processes began with creating a plan for our house so that we had something to base the shapes off of when we started to build it. Next we began to create the shapes for the house and pulling them up into 3D objects instead of 2D objects. After we finish building the base of the house we began to add details like textures to the sides of the house and windows, doors, and maybe some cars. My finished house are the pictures above. 
During this project I learned how to use the program SketchUp and how to manipulate the shapes to make them look the way I want to look. I also learned how the different perspectives of  presentation can change the view of your house to a viewer. Next time I would make sure that all of my points that make up a shape are on the same plane so that they can move the same when I need them to. I would keep my procedure that I used because it made it very easy to add and change details. i will remember how the perspective I present my house van change hoe my viewers see my house. I really enjoyed this project because I love bringing my ideas to life in 3D models.

Orthogonal Cube

  In illustrator we made orthogonal cubes. We watched a tutorial on Lynda.com to figure out how to make all of the sides equal. We had to copy and paste the three main lines and copied them several times to finish off the cube. Then we added color to the cube to give it depth/perception. The darker colors make it look farther behind and the lighter shades make it come forward. Then i rounded the edges of the cube so that way it did not have weird tails that lost the flow of the eye making it look 3D.  This was a challenge for me because there was so many steps to do to make it look accurate. However the end result was with it, because it looked really awesome and it's cool to say that I made this from scratch.

Famous Logo Tutorial!

Google Play Logo!  This is the Google Play logo that I made with a tutorial. The logo was surprisingly easy. The most difficult part was creating the correct gradients to try and match it the best I could. Along with messing around with the opacity. I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!

Semester 1 Reflection

Name Typography:  As the year started,  we received a name typography project. The goal of the project was to take our name and turn the typography into something that would reveal some of our personal interests.  For example, I personally enjoy jewelry so I made Abigail appear like it was written with pearls. This project took around three weeks from the first of the school year. I struggled with reaching out of my comfort zone coming into junior year. This helped me learn that it is okay to have multiple ideas and that not all of them will work out the way that you planned. I was critiqued mainly on taking some of the concepts too literally instead of pushing them outside of the box. I changed several of them by going all out with some of the ideas that I had started. Making my ideas stand out really helped make my concepts stand out on the page. I really enjoyed tis project because it refreshed my memory on how to use Illus...
