Sketching First thing I did was I practiced sketching 3D labels on cans and other circular items. Then I picked what logo I was going to do. I decided to do a Fanta can but its the off-brand version and it just says soda. I sketched that logo and then decided to put it into photoshop. Photoshop I struggled really hard when it came to photoshop because I wanted to get the Fanta font but I could not find a similar font.

We went to the loading dock of the school and we brought a tennis ball, bowling ball, and a golfball with us. We chose three people to drop the balls and we filmed them dropping the balls. Then we came back to the room and uploaded them to our computers. Then we put the videos into photoshop and marked all the frames where the ball reached its height in the bounce. Once we figured out where the ball reached its maximum height per bounce we figured out the height of the ball in an excel sheet.  Maya First thing we did was create each of our spheres. I made three spheres all similar to the sizes of a tennis ball, bowling ball, and golf ball. I found a golfball bump map on the internet and I applied it to my golf ball to make it look like a golf ball. I then found a tennis ball texture via google and I put that on my tennis ball but not as a bump map because it looked too weird a
