Typography project (I know its a sequel but they make more money so I added quotes!)

The beginning's beginning

When I started this project and was looking at quotes to choose from, I looked to movies, tv shows, and books for quotes that I felt I could relate to. I only was able to decide on 5 quotes because either I could not find one that I really liked or it was not appropriate for school (see: "Don't half *** two things, whole *** one thing" -Ron Swanson). The five that I found were: “I knew exactly what to do, but in a much more real sense I had no idea what to do.” -Michael Scott, “Not all treasure is silver and gold mate” -Captain Jack Sparrow, “It does not do well to dwell on dreams and forget to live” -Albus Dumbledore, “When I eat, it is the the food that is scared” -Ron Swanson, “Never tell me the odds!” -Han Solo. I ended up not using the meaningful one (Dumbledore's) because I liked the others more.

The Creation

During the actual production of the project was trickier, mostly because I just jumped into this class a semester later than everyone else (It's a long story don't ask). The hardest part was definitely the Aztec medallion from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (I know I didn't have to write the whole title but I love that movie and I know I wasted time writing this so oh poop). That part took a lot of intricacy with the pen tool. It had a lot of small lines and details, so I omitted a few details that I found difficult and unnecessary. I was able to learn quite a bit about illustrator through this project as I had barely used it before. Working in color was not too hard, all the color added was just changing fills so it wasn't too bad. I liked working in color more though.

The ending's ending

For the most part, I liked how they came out, I felt that the Ron Swanson quote could be a lot better but I don't know how so. I especially loved the Han Solo quote because of the Millennium Falcon silhouette.

CSS Web Project

What we did This past week we created another web page but this one was for a poem called "Another Reason I don't keep a gun in the House". We began by adding in the starting files and we then created new rules on the different parts such as the headings. Those got changed to different colors, sizes, etc. Once done we added some links and text of our own. The project was fairly easy and simple to be honest. At the beginning the site was just a white page with a dog picture and some text but by the end it had a black background with different text colors and a great variety. CARP Contrast is the first letter of CARP and boy was there variety in this project. The texts were different colors and the colors had great contrast with each of their respective background. A great example is the darker tan text on a light tan background. Another was the text sizes with each other. Alignment is the next letter, this relates to how the text was aligned. The heading/titles ...

The Grand Finale: Recap of my final year in ecomm

Image
The Five Guarantees Over the past four years in ecomm, one thing has been the same, there have been 5 guarantees that we stand by: Technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, and project management. Something I took away from Technical skills was that it helped me learn how to handle equipment and adapt more quickly to things I haven't used before. I think that's pretty important in life because evolving and adapting is something we do all throughout our lives. I learned it through experience on set and teachers showing me how to use the equipment. It could be difficult at points, especially when it wouldn't work, but I would power through. I'm still not great at operating the camera, but I am proficient at using adobe software. Next up, communication. Communication made me take away that to get something done, everyone needs to be on the same page. If you aren't on the same page, then the project typically is a jumbled mess. I faced many challenges ...

Film Reel 2021

Image
The process So over the past few weeks we have been working on creating new film reels for ourselves. As we started, I had an idea to use"Don't Stop Me Now" for my music in the reel. Clearly that didn't work out, as I found out, I didn't have enough high energy clips to match the pace of the song. After that I was stuck on trying to find a new song, but I was also working on the feature script so I had to make a decision fast. I ended up using "Gangsta's Paradise" from my last film reel. Needless to say, it fit my style perfectly once again. On top of my clips from the last film reel, I now added more scenes from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Wii" commercial. Overall reflection      Overall, I thought that my reel showcased my style really well. I tried to go for a more comedic style of reel as that's what I prefer to make genre-wise. Some solid examples of this is many of the clips from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Tears of T...
