The project  We did three animations with a bouncing ball. For all of the animations we used photoshop. For the first animation we made grass using a grass tool and made different variations of the grass to make it look realistic. Next we used the circle tool to make a ball. Then we created a time line, which is how you make the ball move. You have to make multiple slides, on each slide you move the ball farther and farther. In the first one the ball was going up in down so I made the ball go from the top of the screen to the bottom. Then to make it bounce up I had to add more slides and fix the transparency. For the second one we had to make the ball bounce in an arc two times. I did the same thing as before with the grass, and with the slides except instead of going down and up the ball went in an arc. For the third one we could do whatever we want so like the second one I had my ball bounce twice then I had it go in a loop for the last part, I did that by adding more slides. ...

This project Last week in ecomm we learned how to use photoshop. Last quarter we picked ten words to describe ourselves. Then we put those words into photoshop and put the words in a certain format. After that we could change the color or font of the words. So I kept all my words the same font and changed the color of each word. I did that so my screen wouldn't look too busy. After that we had to take the words off the screen and decide when we wanted each word to appear on the screen. I took whatever word I wanted and took it off the screen on the opposite side it was placed. That way the word would take longer to get to its spot. After that I saved my project and it was done! What I learned During this project I learned how to use photoshop. The biggest thing I learned is how to animate. Ive never really tried doing anything like it before so it was really fun. I learned how to make different words come together and go into a formation. How it went This project was dif...
