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...

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...

This Week in E-comm This week we began to learn more about our new E-comm teams. I am one out of two Otters on my new team. Within our team there is not a designated leader we all contrubute equally. There is an equal balance of power and everyone gets included. Within our team we all work really well together. I constantly made sure that everyone was included in our discussions, and that all ideas were heard. Or team name was Company Inc. We named it that because we wanted something really simple and basic, but also unique. So we decided to take two different titles and combine them into one. If that makes any sense at all.Our project was the Magic pack. The pack is magic because you can fit anything you want in there. Big or small it basically goes on forever. Our target audience is 18-33. We chose that range because it is the range that travels the most so it would be most convenient for that age group. We used all of the five E-comm guarantees. We used our technical skills t...

This week we created a website on dreamweaver. Before we created the website we had to learn about CARP. CARP stands for contrast, alignment, repetition, and proximity. You have to use this system when creating anything in design. If you want to have a good design you must use CARP. We learned about CARP for one full hour. That was we understood what it meant and could apply it to our website. Creating the website was very difficult because I did almost everything wrong. First off I started my website in the wrong dream weaver. When I asked my friends for help it took me an entire hour to figure out I was trying to create in dreamweaver 2017 and not dreamweaver 2015. That was very upsetting. But once we realized that I was in the wrong dreamweaver we switched. After that everything was going smoothly. Until I made another mistake. I entered the wrong information into dreamweaver. So I had to do it all over again. I did not like this project. It was really difficult for me and it...

Hi! This week I created a personal logo. I found it very difficult to create this logo. It was difficult because it took me a long time to think of a logo. I had help from some of my peers and they helped me tap into my creative side in order to create a logo. After the help from my peers I had to decide which one I was going to use. It was not an easy design, but I went with my gut and went for the logo with the umbrella. I used my favorite color red in my logo because it makes me very happy. I wanted the logo to symbolize me so I used my favorite color. Re-creating this logo in illustrator was fairly easy. I quickly got done with it due to the fact that it is very simple. Some parts of my logo I don't like very much but I think others would like i. I had a tough time creating the letters. I had to re do it three times. I think I did really good on this assignment. I am very proud of my work.

Hi! This week I sketch a flower twenty different times and then put it on illustrator. It was really difficult to sketch twenty different flowers. I didn't even know there were twenty different types of flowers! It took a long time to finish sketching since I really had to tap into my creative side. Each flower is completely unique and that was very difficult to do. I did not know which one to re-create so I had to ask my friends and they chose flower five. Re creating the flower drawing on illustrator was very frustrating. It took me a long time to do because nothing would connect to each other. After asking for help from my peers I finally got it. I am not happy with the final product though. There are a lot blank spaces and it just docent look quite right. I used a pastel colors. Since I pictured the flower in a light and sunny area. I do not like this picture. I don't think it is very pleasing to the eye and I feel as if I could do better than what I put out. Its not li...

Who am I? This week I took a personally quiz. The sixty-four question test revealed that my personality type was ESFP. The E stands for extrovert the s stands for sensing the F stands for feeling and the P stands for perceive. I am energized but being with other people. I do better when I see a thing in front of me instead of imagining. I make decisions based of feelings rather than thinking it through. I perceive things and I don't judge them. There are many famous actors that have the same personality as me such as Justin Bieber and Beyonce  Is this Really Me? I think that this personality is pretty accurate. I do make all my designs based on feeling and I think that part is spot on. Also there are facts about the ESFP group and one of the acts is most likely to have a low bank account. I sadly suffer from this because I only have ten dollars in my bank account currently. The only thing I disagree on is the fact that I have less creative Ideas than Intuitive people. I ...
