sketchup design

This week we did a sketchup project and we made a house. This project was very hard but super fun. We first made the dimensions of the house and used the rectangle tool and push up tool to make it 3D. The we made the roof after that. Then we did the gutters windows and doors. Then we used 3D warehouse and inputed some trees and cars into our design. It was a very fun project and i hope to of it again.

Web Design Project Blog

The Process

This was web project was our ecomm final that took a whole week. First we watched Mr. Olsens videos and followed along in dreamweaver. We set up dreamweaver so it had our websites in it. Then we made links so it would send the user directly to chrome or safari. We finished it off by putting everything in there and make the color fancy. 

What is new?

Using dreamweaver is brand new for me. We have never used it before. It was very fun for me and wish to do it again. It was very complex and hard but i got it done. 

Takeaway

I learned how to use certain features in dreamweaver and learned how to link websites. I learned to watch videos and listen to instructions. I faced many challenges and overcame to finish the project.

I'm an ONW student with an interest in athletic training. My friends and teachers compliment me on my responsibility and organization. I'm looking for advice on how i can put myself in a role that would improve my training abilities. I'm a responsible young man that strives for bigger and better. I want to use my skills to help the people around me that are seeking help.

My Ten Strengths

The Process

First, we had to pick 10 words that describes us. The we put it in photo shop and arranges it in a cool formation. We used different fonts and sizes to make it look even cooler. Then we used the timeline in photo shop to make the words animated on the screen. Then we published it on our youtube channel.

What is new?

Learning about the video timeline and making a youtube video was new. The youtube was very confusing but I figured it out and got it published. 

Takeaway

I will take away what I learned in youtube and what I learned in the actually animation. 

Arcs Animation

The Process

First we made the layers like the sky, ground, and the ball. Then I copied the ball in an arch movement. As the ball hit the ground, I switched the ball to the sad face. And then, I made the ball roll of the screen. The title fades out into the actual animation at the beginning and fades out at the beginning. 

What I learned 

I learned how to do an arch line. I learned how to make copies of layers and transform them. I also learned how to use squash and stretch while transforming. 

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.
