Nature man project

ideas

As soon as the project was assigned to us I wanted to use water and thing of nature. I couldn't figure out how to make the water part look good. So I ended up just using the pictures that were in the server. The pictures were of trees and outdoor things so it was still close to my original idea. I didn't want the pictures to look exactly like they did in the server so I tried to change them up a bit. I added few effects and layers to make the pictures look more original.

the process

When I was doing this project I was thinking that I wanted my project to look subtle and not as bright. I really wanted the pictures to blend and not have a huge contrast between the pictures. I started with the hair because I really wanted the hair to be the focus of the picture. so I had a bigger contrast between the jacket and his hair. Th I did the jacket and the little v inside the jacket and had those blend together so the hair could stand out.

using tools

I used blending modes on the jacket and the shirt under the jacket to make it look subtle. I also used blending on the edges of the hair so it would blend with the white background. I used adjustment layers on certain pictures and the overall project. I changed the coloring of the rock but I didn't change the coloring of the roots and the trees because I like their natural coloring. After that I added shadow, highlight, and contrast layers to the whole picture to make the layers come together. I also changed the opacity of the layers as I created.

end result

My end result did not turn out like I was wanting it to. I know that it wasn't going to right after I decided to use the pictures in the server instead of my original idea. I did like how I made the pictures in the server look different in my project. I am happy with project even though the pictures were my plan b. if I were to do this project again to improve it I would try to find even more pictures and have more backup plans for my original plan.

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...
