Puppy Love

I really liked this project. It taught me useful tools that I know I will use in the future. I liked learning how to create a shadow and move it to a different background. I really liked being able to be myself and use things that I like. Learning how to extract items will be very helpful for future projects and assignments.

Moving Mountains


This is the mountain that I made float in the sky. We were to extract the mountain and embed into the sky background. I first started out with carefully extracting my mountain so that it would look the best that it could. I learned many things that will help me in the future such as, how to use the quid selection tool. This is a tool that i will use in many projects and will be very useful in the future. I would do all of it the same as i did this time. I would maybe add a few more things just to make it my own and unique. I will use this to create amazing projects. I really enjoyed this project and i am excited to use these tools in the future.

Round N' Round

This is my sphere that I created in Illustrator. I really enjoyed this assignment because it taught be how to create spheres that are unique and useful. I learned how to apply a 3D effect and add a star to add detail and originality. I struggled with creating the sphere and making it how I wanted it to look. I really like illustrator and it was easy to learn how to do this.

Red


This is my red sphere that I made in illustrator. I liked using illustrator better because it was easier and much faster. This was much easier to create in illustrator and a lot more detailed! I learned how to make a shadow and how to make it appear as if there were to be a light source shining on the sphere. I really enjoyed this! 

This is my red sphere that I made in photoshop, I really don't like photoshop but this wasn't that hard. I learned a lot that will help me in the future. I learned more shortcuts and new techniques that will make projects easier and faster. I also learned that spheres are in most everything i will do in graphic design and they are a vital part of the process!

Come Sail Away

This is a music video that we made in my video class. The scope of this project was to create a music video that was a minute and a half long. We first had to come up with what song we wanted to do and the story of the video. We then created a storyboard of all of the shots we wanted. I learned that in order to work as a coherent group, you must listen to everyones suggestions. I would probably not have done this plot with this song if i were to redo this. I would still create the suspense and tone of the story. Finally, my thoughts throughout this video were that we had a good story and good song but our shots could have told the story a bit better.

KMW est. 1999

My logo represents me because it shows a fun, cheerful, and happy view on life. My process of creating this logo is to start with the image I wanted to portray. I wanted to show that I am happy and upbeat and enjoy doing the things I love. I then started with a flower shape and added color. Once I realized I didn't like that then I added to it and started with an ellipse then rotated copies of that shape to create the base of my logo. I ended up with the flower/sun shape and I really like it. I learned how to make shapes that are not provided and how to incorporate myself throughout the logo. I think I did a really nice job or representing myself and showing my personality and attitude. I think I would change the detail of it and add a little more detail to it. I need to work on the way I create logos and not just jump into the design phase.

When making my font I learned many things such as how to edit a specific letter or part of the font to really make it my own. Something I did really well is that I used color and effects to create a different look and to make it original. I would probably try to do a little more detail and a little more life. I want to learn how to make a grass effect and be able to use it in an easy and efficient way.
