                      Photoshop picture project                                                                       This week I worked on a photoshop project. We learned how to use different tools and techniques in photoshop. We had to watch videos that taught us how to use the different tools in photoshop. We were giving the pictures that needed to be edited then I dragged the pictures into photoshop then began editing. I learned how to delete, edit, and patch photos. There were some pictures with unwanted objects in the picture and I learned how to delete them and patch them to look like the were never there. The videos were difficult to work with but they were filled with a lot of valuable information.  I would change the the am...

                                 Self-Portrait Artist Statement             This week I worked on my self portrait video, I used making my favorite snack as  a  way to represent myself. I wanted to show others what I like to do and make in my free time. I liked seeing the musical videos because I love the sound of instruments and it inspires me to learn how to to play an instrument. I could tell they spent a lot of time on their skills and it payed off.  I had a hard time with my video I started out with a video of me playing soccer but I realized that 2 minutes was longer than I thought so I changed my mind and did a video of me making a snack. I had my sister film and we turned on music, had good lighting, and did some panning. I picked to do these features because they make the video look good and professional. The video shows people what I like to...

                                                Final Reflection             This quarter I've been working on a project in e9, with the help of my team we've created a product to present to a group of people using animation, video, graphic design, and web design. We went through 4 rotations that took us this whole quarter. This project was challenging at times because in some classes we didn't have as much time in as the others. Even though that was a big challenge we began to learn how to manage our time better with each rotation. Our teachers helped us time manage and gave us plans to keep us on track and we changed what we did in the next rotation by giving people in our group equal amount of work so we could get it done faster. I feel like our 4th quarter project turned out really good because our team worked good together...

                                                      CSS and CARP Design               We have been working on a project in Dreamwaver. We are given a messed up web page that is in need of a new design. Once we were given our page we began using codes to design and make this page look better. The HTML is very difficult to do, but with the CSS it is easier to use. The style is different because the codes are different on each one so thats why both of the pages look different.  C ontrast: contrast is mostly color. We used the colors in the dog for the text and for good contrast we used different shades of brown. This helps the text all go together without anything clashing and looking misfit. A lignment: alignment is the way the text lines up. Before the text wa...

Regan's Personality Type Today I took the Myers-Briggs Type test. I scored ESFJ! E means "extrovert" I like being around people and thats where I find my energy and It makes me the most happy.  S means "sensing" this means I have a preference of sensing over intuition.  F means "feeling" I have a slight preference of feeling over thinking, I base my decisions off of feeling rather than thinking.  J is "judging" this is only a 1% but I make a judgment better than perceiving. I share this personality with quite a few celebrities. I share it with Sally Struthers,Elvis Stojko, and William McKinley.   I feel like this test is very accurate. I love working with people and I find value in their opinion. I can get things done better if I'm working with other people to get it done. I am organized and get things done on time. I am very caring towards pe...

                                        My Logo This week we have been working on our logo project in E9. This was my first time ever making a logo and it was very educating and fun! We started out the project by sketching up ideas, anything that I thought of I drew on my paper. After picking my top 3 logos, I narrowed it down to one logo. Once we got into Adobe Illustrator we began to make shapes and letters. I decided to use the circle shape, and a nice blue color to make the logo feel fun.                                                       Once I chose my color and shape I began to play around with my fonts and strokes. The letters were the most difficult part of the project because they are hard to get just right. I had a hard time picki...
