HATS HAVE NEVER BEEN COOLER

 The scope of this project was to create a product that was easy, but very clever at the same time. Me, Makenna, Ian, and Samantha were all sitting in the animation room thinking of what we could possibly make. We were running out of ideas when Ian came in and told us about how he always had headaches when he was a little kid. We were wanting something that would solve a problem and that is how the Cool Cap started!                                                                                 

We wanted to stop headaches but look cool while relieving a headache. Along the way, I learned many new ways to meet new people and new ideas I thought I never had. I met new people with different personalities and worked great together.  Things I would do differently are working on the Ad longer and cleaning up the video. There were parts in both the ad and video that I could've cleaned up more. But in general I would've kept the idea because it is such a great idea and you can do so much with it.

Calm and Collected

For the logo I helped out with the color scheme. I felt like the logo and the colors for it were the most important because they speak for the logo. It tells the audience how they feel towards the colors and product. We started out with a blue and we wanted a vibrant color to catch more of the younger audiences' attention. Blue symbolizes a calming sense and relaxation. And that's exactly what the Cool Cap does is provide relaxation when you have a headache. For our other color, we chose green because it symbolizes health and well being. We felt like both the green and blue had a great contrast but also came together great.

Every kind of Hat for you
For the animation, this wasn't my strongest suit but I worked hard with the group and contributed to the groups work. I helped pick out hats to go in the animation because we wanted to show you the variety of hats Cool Cap offers. We wanted to show the audience that we have any hat that suits them! For the small price of $35.99 you get any hat you want with cooling technology to relieve that headache.

Bringing Vogue to Cool Cap
For the ad I wanted it to be different than most ads. I wanted to ad a slick, and classy look. Just like Vogue, I had the huge title at the top. For the main picture, I wanted a picture you can't find anywhere else. It was black and white and had a guy with a hat on. It created a very top notch look and really just finished the product off. It showed that anyone can look classy in their

Cool Cap.

Personalities and Production

With our personalities we somehow worked together.  With having only one extrovert in the group, she became the sort of leader. All the rest of the introverts we listened and contributed our part and we got along great. Throughout the process of making Cool Cap I made new, lifelong friends. We had a great time making the product and we put lots of hard work and passion and that's what made the product the way it is today! When we finally decided to make this product we all made up a list of what every person was gonna do. We all hard our own parts to do and we never interfered on anything and got the job done!

Remaining Efficient and Fashionable
For the video, I wanted Ian to be the main actor because he has a great personality and really grasps the humor to the audience. I really worked hard on making sure the audience doesn't get bored. We tried to make the video relate to the audience so the audience will feel the same problem and go out and buy the Cool Cap.  The video consists of Ian having the same problems and all about the product and why you should buy it.

COOL CAP

 Our product is called the Cool Cap. What this product is is a ordinary, fancy hat but with much more. Have you ever had a headache or you found yourself really hot on a summer's day? Well now you can be cool and fashionable at the same time! With the Cool Cap you can wear any fashionable had with a cool, compact ice pack in the hat.  It will remain cool all day and will relieve any headache or hotness you have. With a small payment of only $35.99 you can be in the latest trend and remain cool also.  The cool cap is new and improved and everybody will want it! New York Times tells us it's almost too good to be true! But, trick question it's not! You will be the coolest person walking down the street! Hats have never been cooler!

         In this activity, we used a lot of communication and had to sometimes either tell people what to do, or we couldn't talk but only point to things. I found at times that the talking was easier but pointing to things was a lot more difficult. What worked was having people taking leadership and trying to get things done quickly and accurately. What didn't work was some people didn't understand what they were saying at times and got frustrated.I learned that communication is important for this process to work. It's just like working in a group for a project where we all have to point things out to other people and be a leader and help people verbally. Team work is everybody working together to get it all done in time. This really gave me an example on how you need to communicate. Not just with groups of people but with everyone you meet in the future. Communicating is something you will need for the rest of your life.

This is a page of my website on Africanized bees or as know "Killer Bees". The reason why I like this picture a lot is because I feel like the color scheme looks good together along with the pictures that add a lot of color and are really high quality. Overall I did not find this project interesting to me. I  think we should've had more time to do the project because I didn't have it fully finished and would've liked to see how it looked as the finish product. Over the course of this quarter I learned lots of new ways to see things in different perspectives. I learned that trying new things is good. Even though I didn't like the project as much as others I still am glad I got to try it!

Dream House

 The dream house was extremely difficult for me. I kept changing my house designs and changing my plans and Sketch Up not exactly working with me. It overall was a very fun project and I loved designing the house and creating it, it is a very fun process. Although it is time consuming, in the end it turned out great. The only thing I wish I could do was have more time on the project to add more detail. For the next time I would want to add more detail and maybe do a bigger house or even a building like a skyscraper!

Lemonade Keynote

The scope of the project was to get an idea of what animation exactly is. It showed you the basic steps in creating an animation. Animation is a very long process. First we started in keynote by creating a picture, duplicating it and moving it slightly for the next picture. After we finished creating pictures and moving it we moved it over to iMovie and compressed it and made each picture last .1 of a second so it made the characters really come alive and look like they were moving. Along the way I learned a lot more shortcut keys and learned how to duplicate faster and change things around! Next time I would add more detail to the character and the background because it makes the animation look even better. I would keep the same the plot of the story because it is creative! For my next project I will spend more time with detail in characters because that is key to animation.
