Photoshop Reflection

I learned many things during these photoshop tutorials. I learned how to blend, use smart objects, filter, and many more things. These materials I learned were expressed during the challenge stage of these photoshop tutorials. The three most important things I learned were how to use smart objects, blend, and how to embed or link objects. These were important because it brought the whole picture together. Learning how to blend was a good skill to learn because it can be used on a computer or when you are drawing on paper. My strengths were blending and embedding and my weaknesses were warping, linking, and importing smart objects and making them flow. I would look through the videos more thoroughly and make sure I remember all the aspects. I would do the challenge the same because it was fun and I did what I can on it. Overall this was fun and I learned the basics for photoshop. 

Procedure Video

PERSONAL BLOG REFLECTION

The ecomm assignment was to make a procedure video. It involved us using the cameras and tripods to make a video that taught other people how to do things. we also had to use story boards before we started. I learned how to set up the camera and the tripod and I also improved my technical skills in editing the video. I would edit my video better and add more soothing music. I would shoot the same shots again because they were great. I experienced many things during this and I will edit better and have more shots to improve the quality of my video.

4th Quarter Reflection e9

Group Project
The group project was over a product we came up with and a commercial, 3D animation, 2D animation, and a website. The project took most of 4th quarter. Some of the challenges I faced during the project was getting to know my group and making the website. I learned throughout this process to stick with it and communicate for help. I was given good feedback and constructive criticism to make my project better. I changed a lot of things throughout the project to make it better and flow more easily. My overall opinion of this project was I liked it and we should do it again.

Class Time
I used my class time wisely to finish what needed to be finished. I revised my work when i was done and made sure it was perfect. I would use the extra hour to go over the project, find mistakes and fix them, and ask for feedback on it so far. I work on my communication skills outside of class so I can come in prepared.

Strengths and Weaknesses
My strengths are in Video and Graphic design. So far, those are my areas of interests. I maximize those strengths by using them in projects to enhance the project and display and appeal. Some of my weaknesses are Web Design and Animation. I found that I could improve on these areas. I ask for support and help when I'm using these fields of study.

Summary
I loved being in Video and Graphic Design class. I would change my work ethic so I could maximize efficiency during class. I learned a lot of things during the year, but i mostly took out communication. It helps during class and out of class. I would like to set a goal of being focused and getting things done for next year. I want to make better assignments and do the best I can. ECOMM was great and i wish to continue with it next year.

4th Quarter Graphic Design Rotation

Our 4th quarter project we made was Dos Maneras. We made a commercial, graphic design, two animations, and the product. Our work is pretty good and we worked well together as a team. We could maybe come up with certain jobs to get more things done. 

Graphic Design Rotation Blog

In our graphic design class, we, as a group, made a product logo, company logo, coupon, web banner, and an AD. Our product logo represents ur headphone speaker very well. Our company logo incorporates our team name and a design that pops out at the viewer. Our coupon is simple but still is important when it comes to the buyer because it gets the viewer to buy our products with a discount. For our web banner and AD we used certain colors that match our logos so it flows together. I think as a team we worked together quite well and have things flowing nicely. We could improve the management and get things done faster.

Mini Presentation Blog

This week we did our mini presentation which included all groups speaking about their products. My role in our presentation was to speak about our product. I gave a detailed description on what it was and how to use it. My role in our group was communicating and giving ideas and sketching ideas. I contributed by giving the idea of the product logo, Dos Maneras. We all communicated very well during our project.

Our team name is Equipo JERT. Its team in Spanish and all of our names put together. Our product name is Dos Maneras which means two ways in Spanish. Our product is a device that is a speaker and it also holds your headphones. It allows the buyer to sync their music to it and carry it around wherever they go. Our target audience is 18-33. Our slogan is "Listen how you want and where you want".

CSS and CARP Design

e9 recently did another web project where we used dreamweaver. We used a pdf and followed its directions. The starting HTML was not formatted properly and the one at the end was formatted. The new style info went into the design and code view and made it look much better.

There was much contrast in this. The headings were contrasting with the words and the sub titles. The color was also contrasting with the background. Different color text was contrasting with the background and color of the headings.

Alignment was used in this project. Aligning is the text on the left or right. Much alignment in this with the paragraphs and the titles. The Headings were centered and the words were left aligned.

Repetition is repeating elements unify a design and establish rhythm. The color was reused a lot in this. As well as the text and the headings.

Proximity is the things that go together logically should be grouped together visually. The project looks very good visually and the headings and words are grouped good.

I learned how to format and use code view more effectively.
