4th Quarter Reflection



For this project, we started off by creating a fake product. Once we had done this, we had to create other aspects to help advertise this product. So, after we had decided our product, we started on the actual graphics that would help to sell it. The graphics we were required to make included a 3D representation of our product, two web banners, a commercial, a logo and other graphic design images, and a website. All of these served a slightly different purpose in our advertising, but they were all important. This project definitely had its ups and downs for our groups, so we had to improvise our ideas a little bit. Our group worked very well to complete our own work on time, so then we could help our teammates later on if they needed it. This is what I believe made our team so successful; we were not afraid to share our ideas and help one another.  Finally, after about two months of working on this project with many ups and downs, our group was finally ready to pitch our product. I was extremely happy with how our project turned out, and I am very proud of our work.

                                   
                                     


For this project, we had to complete everything during class. This included our 3D and 2D animations, commercial, website, and graphic design aspects. So, this was a very big project that required a lot of work from all of us. I think the team aspect of this project definitely helped to motivate us during class, since we didn't want to let our other team members down. Also, to make our project even better, our group did a good job of giving good critiques to the other people in our group, so our project could be even better. As a whole, I think our group did a very good job of using our time wisely so we could complete our project.


I have definitely learned a lot in all of the different strands this year. However, I am definitely better at some parts as compared to others. For this project, I believe my strengths were the graphic designs and video. I probably could have improved some things, but as a whole I was very happy with it. I was also pretty pleased with what I did for video. I think I have really improved with my video editing this year, along with setting up good transitions and cuts that help the video to flow. I'm sure I will only continue to improve with both of these with hard work in the future. I was definitely not the best at some parts of the project. For example, I think I could improve my website skills, and try to get more creative with it. However, the main strand that I need to improve on based on this project was animation. Overall, I will definitely try to improve on these aspects later on so I can create even better projects.






As a whole, this was a very fun project to work on. It was very nice having the freedom to do all of these different parts of the project on our own. I also really enjoyed working with my team throughout the quarter to create this project. There are a few things I might have tried to change if we were to do this project again, but overall I am very happy with what we created. If I were to take away one thing from this project, it would probably be the team aspect. Our group did a great job of sharing our ideas, and helping each other, so I hope I can bring that with me for the rest of my e-Comm career. If I were to set one other goal after this project, it would probably just be to continue to work hard in class so I can continue improving as a student and designer. Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project and I think it was a great way to end my first year in e-Comm.

Logo Color Schemes

Analogous: BP uses the analogous color scheme of green, yellow and yellow-green. I think the company probably chose these colors is to show they are environment safe. Jamba Juice uses the analogous color scheme of yellow, yellow-orange and yellow-green. I think the company probably chose these colors is to show that they have many different fruity flavors. Complementary: Fanta uses the complementary color scheme of orange and blue. I think the company probably uses these colors to represent there orange flavored soda and how it's also refreshing. Chili's uses the complementary colors of red and blue-green. I think the company probably chose these colors to represent a red pepper which is also apart of their logo. Warm: McDonalds’s uses the warm colors of red and yellow. I think the company probably chose these colors to represent that there food is hot meaning cooked fresh. Red Bull uses the warm colors of red and yellow. I think the company probably chos...

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...

Website

          Overview             In e-Comm we made a website. Mr. Olson made video for us to follow along with while making our website. We were instructed to make a home page with a side bar, and a projects page similar to the home page also with a side bar.  In the side bar we added links to the home/projects page, the ONW website, e-Comm website and our blog. On the projects page we added our favorite projects that we have done this semester. What I Learned Overall in this week I learned a lot. I learned a new program, Dreamweaver, that I had never used before. In Dreamweaver we learned about all the different tools you can use to make a website. After making the basics of a website we learned how to add photos and videos from our projects. When we finished we learned how to design our website and then take a screen shot of it. While making the website I learned all about the different...
