Sidewalk Chalk Group Activity

Our group brainstorming and coming up with our design.
During these past three days we were put into groups of four with new people that we did not know. Our final goal was to create sidewalk chalk as a group, but the first thing we did was brainstorm ideas for this assignment. We talked about the meaning of different colors and symbols, and scribbled down  a few ideas we had individually. The next day, we started to brainstorm as a group. We all chose one of the symbols we had come up with the day before, and tried to find a way to incorporate them into one design. After some discussion, we came up with our final design and went outside to complete it. We worked on finishing our design with the chalk for the rest of the hour until we came up with our finished product.

Our team's final product.
In this activity, we all had to come up with a symbol that represented us. In the end, I chose to use a shield, which represents defense. However, a lot of our other symbols we felt could represent more than one of us, so in a way we all had a few things to symbolize us. We also had to come up with a color scheme for this activity. Our group chose to use lots of vibrant colors, such as blue, green, yellow, and purple. We felt like this would show happiness, so we thought it would be a good fit.

Our group worked together pretty well for the most part. However we probably could've been more decisive when making our design. We took a while to actually come up with our final product, so we could've done better on that. We also could've worked on our time management, as we actually didn't completely finish our sidewalk chalk. Nonetheless, I thought our group did a great job and I am very pleased with how our team worked together.

Movie Trailer Remake

Pre-Production For this project, we were assigned a specific movie about high school, and were told to remake the trailer. My group was assigned "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for our movie. I was pretty excited about this project to start with because I really like the movie I got, and I thought I got a good group. However, this project was certainly not an easy task, so we had a lot of work to do. We started off with all of our pre-production activities. This included story boarding, completing a beat sheet, and figuring out who to cast for each role. Our group decided to mainly cast from our own group to make scheduling a little easier. However, we still casted all of our adults, plus two of our main characters from outside our group. Before we started filming, we also figured out what we were going to do for locations, props, and costumes. Most of our group chipped in for some props or costumes, and we mainly decided the locations as a group. Once we had all of that...

Ten Words Animation

Ten Words Animation Overview In this project, we were tasked with creating a video animation on Photoshop that included our first and last name, along with ten words we came up with that describe ourselves. We were taught a few things on how to use Photoshop, and were also able to use some of our prior knowledge from Illustrator to help us come up with a good layout, and then we created the actual animation. How We Did It For this project, we started off by typing in our ten words, along with our name. Once we had these in, we could choose individual colors and fonts for each word. After this, we had to put them into an arrangement on the page that was pleasing to the eye, and had an equal amount of white space between each word. Once we had done this, we created the animation itself, which included us making the letters move from one point to another, fade, and flip around. After we had done this, we were left with our final animation. Conclusion Overall, I believe thi...

Color Wheel Project

Color Wheel Project Overview During this project, we worked with Adobe Illustrator to create a color wheel. Beforehand, we were taught a little bit about the color wheel and program we would be working with, but since this was our very first time working with Adobe Illustrator, we had to do a lot of experimenting with the different tools. This project as a whole was a very good learning experience for me. It really helped me test the waters for a brand new program. As a whole I think this project will really help me in future projects, and it was a good way to start off our journey. My final design How We Did it During this assignment, we started off by making a big circle with multiple triangles imbedded in them by using the different shape tools. After that, we used the ellipse tool to create three circles that represented the primary colors. We then made squares and triangles that would represent the secondary and tertiary colors respectively. This whole process was ...
