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.

Typograpghy

     For this project we worked in Adobe Illustrator to create different quotes. The first thing we did was look online for 10 different quotes that stood out to us. Next we had to look at fonts to see which ones we wanted to use for our quotes. I didn't know what to pick at first because so many of them were similar, weird or just not right for the quote. I ended up choosing a lot of cursive fonts because they were really cute to me.       The first thing I did was write out the quotes I liked in a random font. After that I began to move the words around and choose the fonts for each one. Next I began to add color to the quotes and things in the background.  Overall I enjoyed this project. It was actually harder than I thought it was going to be. Deciding on what to do for each quote was the hard part for me. If I were to do this project again I would work on filling up the artboard space more.

Video Final

News Story        For this project we had to create a story about someone in our class that is involved with something that is connected to ONW. My team and I chose Drew who was on the Raven Pride Marching Band. This project took about 3 weeks to complete. The most challenging part about this project was Drew's interview. We had to reschedule about 3 times because we couldn't get the mic to work. The third time we shot the interview, with Drew, we didn't get to use a mic because they were all taken. After showing the video to the class I received some good feedback. I needed to turn up the volume on some parts and make sure to adjust the rule of thirds on some clips. Some positive feedback I received was the b roll was pretty good. This project was really fun and this is why I decided to share it for my semester final. ONW NOW      For our final semester project the sophomores in video had to make our own version of ONW NOW. Out of a...

ONW Now

For our final project this semester we had the opportunity to film a sophomore edition of ONW Now. The first thing we had to do was decide for ourselves what segment we wanted to make a story over. We could chose between sports, news, feature story, word from the halls and even decide to be an anchor. I chose to do a sports story and to be an anchor and that's what I ended up getting. After we got our jobs we finally got our teams. I was with Josh Burton, Molly Weir, Ethan Goss, and Logan Read. Out of this whole year this was the best team I worked with. Since we were assigned sports at first we were going to do it over boys basketball but couldn't because they were in a tournament and no one could make it to their games. Then we decided on girls basketball. Josh, Ethan, and I did interviews while Logan did the voice over and helped Molly edit. Josh also went to one of the girls practices and then Molly went to one of their games. While all the teams were still finishing thei...
