Sidewalk Chalk Team Flags Experience

Over the past few days I have been working on my first high school project. The project was where you were paired with a group of people you don't know. Then you come up with a design for your team flag. Everyone has to draw a symbol that represents themselves. The symbol has to be colored in using a color that represents their personality. For example red represents love and emotion and Green represents freshness and fertility.

On the first day we were paired with each other and began brainstorming ideas for our flag. We all had different ideas for our flag. So it was hard to come up with an idea that everyone liked and could agree on. I suggested that we do a tree and on each branch we could have our symbol The people in my group loved the idea and we sketched the tree util it was time for the next hour.

The second day was much easier than the first. We all chose our symbol and sketched it on top of the tree. My symbol was a cow because cows are amazing and i love them, but I also chose a cow as my symbol because I'm a vegetarian. After we chose our symbol we had to choose what color we would color our symbol with. I waited to see what color was left so everyone in my group could have the color they wanted. The only color left was white and its a good thing because cows are black and white. The color white represents peace and innocence. I believe that represents a small piece of me. 

On the last day we drew our flag on the cement. We had to wait for a little while before going outside because it was raining. After about five minutes the rain cleared up. But when I went outside with my group it started raining again. But this time we didn't let that stop us. We drew out tree nd our symbols. We had two main people drawing and two people coloring. We got done with our flag real fast. But i think the final project was amazing.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
