Nature Man



     For the Nature Man project we had to use all the skills we learned in Adobe Photoshop to create a better version of the original picture. He's called Nature Man because some pictures that were already provided for us in the server had to do with nature. The pictures consisted of roots, a cliff, trees and water. I restarted several times creating Nature Man because I didn't like what I had come up with. My first creation was horrible. I think I didn't like it because the only pictures I had used the ones provided and nature doesn't interest me. The second time I was going for a blue theme. The suit was going to be many different shades of blues mixed together. That didn't work out because the jacket looked too fake and it wouldn't blend very well.  For the third time the picture above is what I came up with.

   After trying to go with a blue theme I changed my mind and decided to go with purple since it's my favorite color. But I knew I couldn't just have purple so I ended up with both colors. For the jacket I looked up online purple ombre background. Then I found exactly what I wanted. To make it the outline of the jacket I had to use the quick selection tool to delete what was not apart of the jacket. Continuing with the jacket I made a mask to make it blend more. I did an overlay and feathered the jacket while turning the brightness down. After I moved to the hair and used the exact same picture but included more of the blue section. For the hair I followed the same steps but changed the hue and saturation to make it almost see through to see the texture of his actual hair. Next the skin I masked it and posterized it making look like he is holographic almost. Finally for the background I used a gradient so you can see that it kind of gets darker towards the bottom of the picture.

     Even though I had to restart 3 times I really enjoyed this project. It let me be really creative and free to do what I wanted to do. The end result defiantly did not turn out how I thought it was going to but I still think it's pretty cool. Now thinking about it I really didn't have a plan to start off with and I was just putting things together. The hardest part of this project was trying to work with the hair. There are little tiny hairs that wouldn't cooperate with the masks and all the layers. I also had a hard time trying to blend it with his natural hair. Overall I wouldn't change anything about this project and I had such a fun time doing it!

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...
