Web design

 This is my website in the process of finishing it. Overall,  web design is not my thing but I enjoyed doing the process and learn how people make websites and use graphics and pictures and codes to change and add things into it.

This is the final product of the website. It's got a show of different colors and a contrast of black and light blue. I added a picture of the school to give the viewer a visual of what my school looks like.








I also used my schedule to see my daily life at school and all the classes the offer and to show how the day is in Kansas. Dreamweaver was a sort of old system but I learned to work with it and make it better and I got to learn the opportunity to make a website and do the process  of it.

My personal logo

In my logo I wanted a simple yet fun and creative logo that would make people remember it. For example, everyone knows the logo for McDonald's is the golden M. Just like that I want people to remember me by. With this logo it shows that I love all things girly with the color pink. In my sketches, I showed that I still want my name but a symbol in it that represents me and what I like to do.

Photoshop Projects 1-4

       In this specific project, I used the magic eraser a lot. Firstly, I started with a picture of the school and had to erase the polls and cover up the car with grass to make it disappear. Then we got the raven off of the wall and we had to crop the head only onto the picture. Lastly, there were pictures from the school and I just cropped them smaller and changed the opacity to a low amount and have a blurred look.

      In this project, I got used to the opacity tool and putting a text mask over the picture. I cropped the original picture smaller and then got the compass and took the white parts out of it and change the opacity to make it lighter. Then I added some text to it and had a light opacity to it to get this awesome picture!

     This was my most favorite project to do. It was so fun and enjoyable and I love using the clone tool. I used a tool to change the color and how much of the section I wanted. Lastly, I used the clone tool to have a flying affect by pressing option and click at the same time and then putting that spot in a different place and doing that over and over until you have this awesome butterfly!

In this last project I changed things up a bit. Instead of having the black line horizontal I changed it to vertical. That's what it's like in graphic design. You don't go exactly off of what the directions say but make it your own and become more creative. That's what graphic design is nowadays!!

Anatomy of a Font

My four words were emotional, understander, progressive, and relaxed and I feel like it describes me pretty well. First off, I am girl so I am emotional and just an emotional person. I'd rather know how someone feels than doing the right or wrong thing. In some ways I feel like i'm understood but in many ways I'm not. I feel like I am progressive in ways and like to be filled with busy things. Lastly, I am relaxed a lot because I feel the need too.

In adobe illustrator, I have learned many new things including shortcuts like command, option, and shift. and changing shapes into another shape. Color Physiology is all about what catches the readers eye including colors like red which is alarm and makes the audience alert. Like in the Bath and Shower gel brands you can notice how different both shower gel brands are and how they can catch the audience's attention in both different ways to catch different people. Like using Bath and Body Works Cashmere Glow, It portrayed many girly colors and pictures and a clear bottle which women like to see what they're buying. It tells you the ingredients like Vitamin E, and Shea and the good things for your skin. On the other hand The philosophy bottle is plain but the simplicity still stands out to people in a good way. It lists every single ingredient and how you make it which some people like. 

What is graphic design?

First and foremost, graphic design is all about communicating to people. It is seen as a language for the living. People use words and pictures to create a message to the world. It is told that it doesn't have to be pretty but it has to grab the attention from people and it usually has an idea behind it. Graphic design is not about the numbers but what the landscape is. People design to make a space more interesting and people will want to be together. In the everyday world, it all comes down to designing who we really are.

Interview

This was my very last video for the Explore 9 course which is sad. I enjoyed this class very much and learned so many new things! I learned things that I can use for the rest of my life even. I learned about the six shot sequence which was various angles of a shot. It included extra close-up(XCU) which was of the hands, close-up(CU) which is of the face, Over the shoulder(OTS) and shows what the character is doing, Medium shot(MS) which is of your hips and up, Wide Shot(WS) which is the actor from head to toe, and Extra Wide Shot(XWS) which sets the scene. Not only did I learn how to make a video but I also learned to communicate with lots of different people with different opinions. I collaborated and became closer with my fellow classmates. I am thankful that I learned this class and grow on it and use it for the rest of my life.
