Bouncing Ball

Bouncing Ball

The Process

In class we learned how to squash and stretch and the basic principles of animation. We made a background the first day, then we made the ball, then we made the actual animation. We learned shortcuts and where everything is located. We made the ball stretch on the way down and squashed when it hit the ground. We then saved it as a GIF and saved it to the server. 

What Did I Learn

 I learned the basic principles of animation. I also learned shortcuts and where basic things are located in photoshop. We mostly learned squash and stretch and how to transform it into the desired shape.

What Would I Do Differently

Next time, I would add more ball images and make it more realistic. I would also make the squash and stretch more detailed as well. I'd make the frames more close to together and then when it times come to the bottom, then I'd make it more spaced out.   

  

Social Media Blog

Yesterday in class we read an article about social media posts and how your media isn't private. Some colleges check student media if they are having a hard time picking applicants. This determines the picking process if the student has bad social media. Sometimes athletes and smart students can not get in to colleges because they have nasty media on their profile. Once something is on your profile, its very hard to take off. We, as a class, marked up the text and put down any questions we had about the text. We then discussed this as a class and gave feedback on the article and pointed out any key things. This really stood out to me because it shows this can narrow down the process of picking applicants.

Handwriting Blog

This week in e9, we did a name logo project. My name logo project went very well. I think that the final product turned out to be really good. I used the curved rectangle tool to make it look more fancy. Then used dark colors and added a fun little ghost to make it look a little halloween themed. This project wasn't that hard for me because I got the hang of it really quick after the J. This name logo was fun and easy for me and i hope we do more things like this.

We also did a handwriting sketchbook assignment this week. This described our personality and how we perceived our name. My 10 traits that I chose were happy, athletic, funny, quiet, smart, joyful, loving, kind, stressed, and weird. Then I chose 3 fonts to write my name in. I chose a cool design that looks like swirls. Then i chose 2 other fonts that show creativeness. I especially like the first one because I think it looks cool. This Sketchbook assignment showed our personality traits and how we write our names.
