House project

The project:
These past few weeks in ecomm we have been making a house using sketch-up. We went on findmyhouseplans.com and found a house that we liked. Then we went into to sketch-up and tried to make a house that looked just like the plans we found on the website. Before we started on the house we practiced by making chairs, so it was a little easier going into the project.

What I learned:
We learned how to do a lot of things during this project. We learned how to use sketch up, we have used it a little before but this time we really went into detail. The biggest thing is that we learned how to use every tool and what each tool did. We learned that some tools are similar but can also do totally different things. Then we learned shortcuts and tricks on how to make parts of the house faster and make them look better too.

How It went:
The project went pretty well. It was really hard at first because there are so many different tools that you can use. It was also kind of overwhelming when I was first starting my house because I didn't know where to start. I had to start three times because I always messed something up. But eventually I got the hang of it and it got a lot easier. I hope we get to create more things like this in the future.

movie trailer blog post

movie trailer blog post   the project process When we were assigned this project we were asked to pick a high school movie trailer and make one recreating it. My group and I decided to re create the breakfast club movie trailer. We thought it would be fairly easy because most of the video takes place in a school library and the rest in the school hallways. We had to plan out filming and planning days for the project which is something my group and I didn't do well on. The next step was to story board, we had to go through the whole movie trailer and describe and sketch out each frame. When it was finally time to film it was very close to spring break, we had two days of school left and we planned to film all of our footage in those days. Unfortunately we didn't get much done those days, the footage we did get had actors that dropped out so we couldn't't use any of it. When we came back from break we took around a couple of days to find more actors. The actors we ...

final blog

graphic design final reflection blog One of my favorite parts about graphic design was making the vector illustrator portrait. For this project we had to choose an image of ourselves, a family member, or a family pet. We then had to choose if we wanted to do an organic vector which is tracing the facial features on the objects face or a low poly geometric vector which is when you make lots of different and tiny triable on the subject. I chose to do the low poly geometric because I felt it would look better on my dog. It took me around two weeks to complete this project. I was gone towards the end of the first week, if I wasn't gone I most likely would have finished the project sooner. I faced a few challenges along the way. At the very beginning of the project I didn't know how big to make the triangles. I decided to do small triangles on my dogs features and bigger triangles on my dogs body. Another challenge I faced was having all of my triangles looking very similar whic...

music video blog

Music video blog  When we were assigned this project we were told to pick a song and make a video rein-acting  the original music video. The first step of this project was to pick a group. With working in a group comes teamwork and agreeing on things like the song, dates we were going to film, and assigning jobs in the group. My group originally was going to use the song "Tonge tied" by group love. We decided that we were going to change our song because the music video was in an older house and had a party going on. One of my groups biggest struggles was finding times to film so we decided that we wanted to film our video at school. We finally decided on the song "Congratulations" by post Malone because it took place in a filming studio just like the one we have here at school. The video also had the same "party" theme that the Tonge tied video had so we were somewhat sticking to our original idea.  After we began the beginning process of pic...
