My logo

The process

I was really excited to start this project because I've always wanted to create something of my very own. on the first day of this project we watched videos of other people creating logos. That helped a lot because after watching you knew what you had to do and you maybe even got a few ideas for your logo. Then we sketched out ideas in our sketch book of what we we wanted our logo to look like. I had no idea what I wanted to do but when I created my first idea other ideas just came. After that we choose three of our sketches to show Mr. Olsen and he talked about each one with us and gave of his opinion about which logo to use. he even gave us ideas of things to add to make the logo even better. Then we got on illustrator and started making our logo just using black and white. It took a while to decide what you wanted to look like, because certain things you sketch out may not look the same on a computer. you also have to choose fonts and sizes of certain things. Next we made different color variations of our logo. Again, it was hard to choose which color combination to choose but I finally picked one and then my logo was done!

Choices

It was very hard having to choose the colors, shape, and font for my logo. I chose the shape first, this was the hardest part for me. I was unsure which shape would represent my personality the best. Finally, I decided that a circle was the best fit, because the circle can mean connection, and eternity. For the colors, It was not question that I wanted the colors to contrast each other, and I definitely wanted to have a pinkish colored involved because I feel that it can represent warmth and love. For the font, I decided to go with something more cursive, but not very bold so that neither one of them would overpower the other, The rounder, thinner font also looks more professional, which can also represent how I act. After all of the different logos that I had, I am very glad that I chose this option, and I could not have imagined a better product.

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

Making your own website

The Project This past week in e-Comm we had to make our own website. We used the program dreamweaver while doing this project. To get through the project we watched videos on google classroom that mr. Olsen had made. For our website we had a home page, a project page, and we had to include a side bar with links to the school, e-Comm, and our blog page. For the home page we made an elevator pitch , which is basically just talking about our best qualities. For our project t page we had to put some of our projects we have done in e-Comm so far. I chose two projects from graphic design and another two from animation. We also had to include the blog posts that went along with these four projects. What I learned I learned a lot while doing this project. We learned how to use a new program dreamweaver, all of the different tools and their functions. There were a lot of pieaces that went along with dreamweaver, compared to photoshop and other programs we have used in the past...

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 overw...
