In the video section of our 4th quarter project I was one of the actors and I edited my own version. We used my house and my puppy Rusty. Our goal for the commercial was to pull on your heart strings by making you feel sympathetic to a young boy who doesn't have any friends except his dog, but now he can talk to his dog with the woof collar and be the best owner he can be! Everyone in my group was an actor and made their own version. We had a blast making our video plus we had quite a view bloopers.
Animation
In the animation section of our project I was in charge of designing on the product in the program Sketchup. I really enjoy animation and making things in Sketchup. I had some struggle dealing with all the circles, but i learned a lot of new techniques and short cuts because of it. I would say I could have maybe added a texture on the collar to make it look more realistic, but otherwise I think I did a decent job adding the leash loop and the box for the speakers and the buttons and the clip.
Graphic Design
In the graphic Deign section of our project I was in charge of making the website banner. I also helped with the logo and choosing the color scheme. We chose blue on the outside because it relates to our packaging and we chose green because it gave the whole company and very down to earth and playful feel. We also downloaded this font because we thought it incorporated our company's intention the best. I think I could have added some more detail, but I think I made a nice appealing banner
Reflection
I will take away a lot from this project such as working with other students, presentations skills, and collaboration. I had a ton of fun with my group we all equally wanted to do great with this projects and all of our personalities worked very well together. I will really miss not seeing my group every morning during 1st hour.
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.
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!
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...
