Name animation

So far in e9 I have had the privilege to go through three strands: video, graphic design, and animation. All three of these strands have been a good learning experience. I'm leaning towards video and graphic design for the next year and junior year I hope to focus mainly on journalism.  I'm  am really enjoying e-communication and I am defiantly planning on staying in the program.

10 words

10 Words

For this10 word project we had to come up with 10 words that describe us and our personality's. Instead of using a frame timeline I used a video timeline and make the words fly into the background picture. I would have to say that the video timeline was more difficult because we had to mess with every word in the picture instead of just copying frames. I thought that the timing was the most difficult in this project because if one word was timed wrong it practically messed up the whole project, but I stayed calm and fixed the problem by asking Mr.Olsen and my peers next to me. Overall I liked this project because it wasn't very stressful. I would defiantly recommend this project to a friend 

Smile

For this project I enjoyed the whole procedure very much! I thought this was really fun because I was used to using the new tools and I could control it more. I would deeply suggest a friend to do something like this. I learned that you need to make many slides for the animation to look realistic. Also I leaned the squash and stretch method which really works!

Pink ball

For this project I had a task where I had to make a ball bounce up and down. Overall I thought this project was exciting and frustrating but once got the hang of it and used using new tools in photoshop it turned out pretty well. The only thing I would have changed was setting a background color so it doesn't look like a random ball bouncing up and down.

Website pages

My home page from my website has to main areas: My elevator pitch and my personal bio.
In my bio paragraph I give a little bit about myself and talk about my interests and hobbies. Then in my elevator pitch I have a short little persuasion paragraph about how company's should hire me and how I would effect the business

Next in my project page I give a little sneak peak into my personal projects I make. My first project is my graphic design color wheel. I choose this project to post because I thought it was the most organized out of all my projects. Animation is my next area but I have not learned any animation skills but I am looking forward to learning. Last project on my page is my e9 commercial video. In this video I describe what e9 is all about and how the younger generations should invest in it. 

How to tutorial

How to tutorial 

        In this quick tutorial it will teach you how to use the eclipse tool, arch line tool, magic eraser, and the rectangle tool. In this little tutorial I will teach you how to make a ornament. 

   First you need to open up illustrator and then start a new project. Then next you need to go to the eclipse tool and draw a circle. 

                                                             

       

After this you need to color the circle with the color sequence in the top left hand corner 

Once your circle is colored you need to go to the magic eraser tool and start clicking inside your circle to make dots. (you make as many as you would like) 

Then next you can color the circle differently if you would like then next you need to draw a little square/rectangle to put on top of the circle. 

Once you do so you will use the arch tool and create a thick line to make a little hook for the top of the ornament 

After you apply the line you are done! You can customize it in any way you would like. 

Photoshop projects

 On this project I learned how to make a butterfly and I was actually more fun than I expected. Using the different brushes and making the color in the butterfly to make it unique was a good learning experience.

 With this project I had a more difficult experience with it because the opacity would always reset to 100%. But after I got to erase the car and poles it got a little easier. Overall I was happy with the outcome.

 This project was the one that I got most frustrated with because it my compass would not form and I could not see it very well. I did not like this project at all.

This project was by far my favorite because of the cool gradient in the background. I felt like the gradient really made the picture final and made it look clean and nice to show.
