House

House

Overview

During this project, we were given the task of recreating a real house by using Sketchup. We had done a few minor projects already using this software, so we knew the basics, but we still had to figure out how to do a lot of new techniques. Once we had picked out our house, we began our project.

How We Did It




Once we had chosen our house that we were going to recreate, we started by making a box with the specific dimensions of our house. We then created our roof, and added other aspects to our houses, such as windows, doors, and porches. Once we had the basic shape of our house done, we began to add textures and colors to our house to make it look how it would in real life. We were also required to find two of our own textures online that we would include in our house. After we had done all of this, we added some finishing touches, and then created the animation for our house. This was basically a visual tour, and showed the different viewpoints of our house. After we created our animation, we were done with our project.

Conclusion

As a whole, I would say this project was very successful. Obviously it was our first major creation in Sketchup, so it wasn't going to be perfect. There were a few aspects that I might have tweaked if we were to do it again, because there were parts that weren't completely accurate. However, as a whole, I am very pleased with my end product in this project, and I feel proud of what I have made.

Music Video

Pre-Production For this project, we were separated into groups and were told we had to either recreate a real music video, or create our own from scratch. Our group decided we would recreate a music video for our project. For our song, we decided to go with "Bet on it" from High School Musical 2. In this video, the actor starts out a little troubled, and ends in a very confident and defiant mood. Our group wanted to help recreate this change of mood in our music video. To start the process of making this video, we had to complete our pre-production work. This was by far the most work we've had to do in pre-production for any of our videos. We had to make a beat sheet, which showed what was going on in each individual clip, as well as the length of the clips. We also had to storyboard, and show the mood of the music video in the beginning, middle, and end. Our group was very productive in pre-production, and finished as quick as we could so we could get right in to film...

Vector Portrait

Pre-Production To start out with this project, I had to choose a picture for me to vectorize. I don't take a lot of pictures, so I didn't have a lot of pictures to choose from. I eventually decided to crop myself out of a picture with my family and use that for my vectorized portrait. Once I imported this picture, I brought it in to Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, I used the posterize option to clearly separate the differences in color. This allowed me to make more specific shapes that would eventually make my portrait look a little more realistic. Then I imported this updated picture into Adobe Illustrator. When I started in Illustrator, I had to make two art boards. Both of the art boards would have my original picture on it. However, one of them would have a decreased opacity, and that picture would be the one I trace over to create my vector. The other picture was simply used for reference, and to grab colors for my vector. Production When I first started this project...

Graphic Design Second Semester Review

Projects Typography For this project, we had to come up with quotes and then make four unique typography designs using various colors and fonts. We completed this project over the span of about 1-2 weeks. This project was difficult for me because I tend to get stuck on the same idea often, so when I came up with one design, I struggled to create other unique and interesting layouts for my type. I also struggled to find good colors to use for some of my designs. This project really helped me to learn much more about the use of type/text in designs. I learned how to make fonts stand out by using different font types such as script and serif. I also became much more comfortable with the pen tool as I had to trace certain graphics. For this project, I often asked my peers what fonts or colors they preferred so that my designs could look even better. With my original designs, most of them were very similar and did not include very many graphics. So, in order to make my designs more in...
