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 made much easier with a few of the shortcuts we learned, which allowed us to copy and paste easily. After this, we arranged our colored shapes in different areas, and labeled what color it was. After using a few other tools to tweak and correct our the design, we added a title to complete the design.

Conclusion

As a whole I believe this was a very successful first project in Adobe Illustrator. I was able to learn lots of different techniques and equipment that will help me continue to grow in knowledge and experience in the future. There are a few things that I might have been more careful with if I were to do this project again. However, as a whole I am very pleased with my final product and I hope this project will help me a lot in the future.

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...
