bouncing ball

Image
the scope of this project was to utilize our abilities to use photoshop to make a ball bounce. the process included a short power point on photoshop and how to utilize all of photoshops tools, we made a simple ball that is bouncing up and down with now horizontal movement. then we moved into having he ball bounce across the screen. after those minor projects we had two use our creative mind to make the ball do something . I made my ball bounce across most of the screen and towards the end of the screen and then the ball expands and poops like a balloon . I learned a lot about photoshop and what the gif and png means on an export standpoint. if its to do something different I would have have made the ball do something more interesting rather than having the ball just pop. I will use my new ability to change brush size and brush texture into other projects. I liked learning about how photo shop is used and how to change a lot of the settings to my favor.

I started with the frame for my website from the server. I wanted to go with a simple but attracting design. I feel I have accomplished my design. I accidentally put all off my projects in the website and I didn't have time to erase them.

my logo

1st step: I started with drawing a pair of glasses and some hair to have a fore head as the white space. I was going to use the arch tool but as I shrunk the logo the thickness stayed the same. my idea wasn't working well so I changed up the logo. 2nd step: I chose to utilize the shield and the star in my logo. I wanted to use my initials in my logo as well. I had stars using a semi-3D star design. 3rd step: for the third step was to add color. I took inspiration from some of the Olathe middle schools. I used SFT, MT, CT, P RT.

contrast:  I used white to outline my letter to make them stand out from the background. I used a lot of white for my letters. tried to use colors that stand out in a green and yellow background.  Alignment: I tried to align the parts about the creators on the bottom, to align them with the right. I aligned the time and date with the end of wizard.  repetition: I used comic sans for the title. I used papyrus font for all of the smaller words.  proximity:  I grouped the date, time, and location together. I also grouped the websites and emails together. 

typeface project

overview: this project was to make our name with labels for each of the typefaces. we had to type our name and put retype name in serif font. we used adobe illustrator to type and put labels. the software is very good and runs very smooth. what I learned: I learned how to use adobe illustrator better. I liked using the illustrator type tool and arrow tool. I learned how to type and use my name, while changing up the font and spacing. I also learned many different type faces and fonts.  how it went:  this project went very well. I worked very hard to finish this project. I tried to make the font and the lines and labels line up as much as possible.
