Color Wheel


       Our project was to create a color wheel on Adobe Illustrator. The first thing we had to do was learn about it before we could create it ourselves. For about 2 class periods we looked at a Power Point about the color wheel. We learned about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors and many more things. 
     
       At first I thought this project would be pretty easy, I mean anyone would. It may look really simple but there were a lot of parts to it. I learned that the color wheel is really important when making something involving graphic design. The color scheme of something really does matter. Sometimes people are more drawn in with a good graphic design. 
       
       This project took me some time to do (partly because I didn't pay that much attention). But also it had to do with working in Adobe Illustrator. I was new to using it and I had to learn where everything was, what tool to use, how big it should be and where to place it etc. After a while I did get the hang of it and anyone interested in graphic design should defiantly use it. 

The next time I use Adobe Illustrator or a project in general I will be listening better and paying attention more. I believe that will help me use the program better and faster. Also to ask more questions if I'm confused and don't know how to do it instead of figuring it out myself which takes me longer. At first I thought why are we doing this it's not important but it opened my eyes to see that graphic design involves the color wheel a lot and it's very important. This project was fun and I 10/10 recommend it.

Bounce

Overview  In this project we were to create 3 different animations. The first one was just a red ball jumping up and down, then the second was a ball bouncing across the canvas. Then last the last one could be whatever we wanted with a surprise emding. How to do it First we had to make a background for the project then make many copies of a ball and make it bounce. We used the command, option-drag key a lot to copy items. Once we copied the balls we had to move them around to make it look as if they were bouncing. Next we created the animation and we had to go frame by frame until thr animation was complete. Conclusin I think this project was very successful and fun to do. If I did it again I would pay more attention on frames and come up with a better surprise animation.

Semester 2- Graphic Design

This semester in graphic design has been filled with many fun and creative projects. One of my favorites was the vector project. While working in Adobe Illustrator we had to recreate a picture of us using the pen tool to create different shapes and colors. This project took about 2 weeks to complete. The first thing we had to do was find a picture, then vectorize it in Adobe Photoshop to see all the different color to create the finished project. This project was not that hard just very time consuming. At first I didn't know where to start on the but once I did it was pretty easy. My vector isn't very detailed like others but ended up still being good.  My second favorite project, is the most recent, the name logo. I really liked this one because I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted. At first we had to sketch at least 30 different designs just to get us started. Then we chose our top 5 that we liked. After we traced all 5 into Adobe Illustrator it was now time fo...

Advanced Feature Story

https://youtu.be/JgqRJiUuWbs This project we were challenged to do another feature story and improve from the last one. My group and I decided to make our story about a foreign exchange student, Louis Lambert. Louis is a member of the international club, played soccer for the school and will tryout later this spring for tennis. On one of the first days for this project my team came up with questions. This part was so easy because there was just so much we wanted to ask him. In the end we had about 30 or so questions. The hard part was trying to find a part to film and work around everyone's schedule. We ended up filming Louis during 7th hour but it was hard to find b-roll. For b-roll we just used stock footage of things from France and pictures and videos from his Instagram. This project was very hard to edit because we had so much to talk about but not enough footage. Overall the project was pretty hard because my team didn't communicate very well and nothing really got don...
