Tree,Bird,House,or Flower

                    In graphic desighn our class was given a project to use the tools that we have learned to make a design of a tree,bird,house, or a flower. I chose to make a design of a bird because I thought that it could be a less challanging design to make but I was wrong. I first tried to use the shaper tool to make a eye like in the pac man project and i couldn't get it right so i just added another circle into the eye.The body was hard to shape because I wanted it ti look  different. The last main part of my bird is the feathers i used the circle tool to  make some circles then made the circled look like feathers. Last thing that i had to do was the coloring, I know that you have the rex slash through the bottom but whenever i over a color the entire bird changed colors and that was frustrating.
                    I finally go the bird finished and then i replied that their is no background so I had decided to add the ground under the bird. then i taught that i could add a blue sky in the background, whenever i moved the blue square in front of the bird the brown bird would change to the same color as the the blue sky. I couldn't figure out how to fix this problem so I took the blu sky out of the picture.

The Illustrator Experience

                    Illustrator and photoshop are different because if you zoom up in photoshop the image will begin to develop pixels all over. While using illustrator you can zoom in on the image as much as you want because illustrator uses something called vector. Vector or vectored means that the no matter how much you are zooming in the image will not develope pixels. 
                   The 3 main tools that will be used when first starting to use illustrator are the rectangle tool, fill and stroke, and then selection tool are the main tools that will be used. Rectangle tools has more than just rectangles if you hold down on the mouse than their will be allot more shapes to use. The fill and stroke tool allows us to use color and pro color into the shapes on screen. and then the tool that will be used the most is the selection tool. this tool allows you to move shapes, select colors and scale objects.

media 
social media is very important because whenever you go to collage, people in charge of enrollment will look at all of your history and if you have smoothing bad on the media then the collage might want to have better people that will represent there school of foundation better than you will. it might not seem the important no to a high school student but in the recent pols and chats say that around 30 percent of the school got their media files checked and if the school found something bad you might not get into your school.
Some collages say that they don't do these digital footprint checks, their still is always that chance that the schools will check your background.some people applying at these schools will not have certain media, but the schools will still such up your name and if they find someone else with the same name they will not believe you.

Elevator Pitch



 An elevator pitch is a well planned, careful, and practiced way of marketing message about yourself. An elevator pitch should be done in the time it takes to ride up an elevator, words of advice is that an elevator pitch should be a goal or self promotion.

 
Elevator pitch

I like to do graphic design at my house and as a hobby. My family and professional designers say that I am really good at what I can do with pen and paper. I would like to get better at what I am doing with the help of e-Communications. I would like to use this in my everyday life or maybe even for ONW. I am inspired by my family to get better and better.

running blog

in our running blog we used the rule of thirds to make a running video of Alex chasing me because i made him drop his phone. we started out in the commons and then moved to mr coopers com room and then Alex snaps my neck and thats how it ends.we used the rule of thirds most the time, we also used all of the 6 shots so then the x axis line we tried not to cross.

things that we could have done better is the x axis line because we crossed the line once so that makes us look like we are running in a different way. we also used all of the 6 shots and our group thought that it was really good at staying together and in task.like i said earlyer we used the rule of thirds most time their might have been one or two scenes where where we crossed the line. these are somethings that we could de better.



 Technical Blog 

This blog is about the rule of thirds and what it is. Rule of thirds can be described as a tic-tac-toe board on the face of the device used to record. whenever you are setup to record instead of having the main object in the center, you would want the object being recorded more to the side of recording. A example of this would be news anchors the production crew would have then to the side of the imaginary tic-tac-toe board. when you draw the tic-tac-toe board on a piece of paper their are two points that meet at the left or right side, this is where you want to have the object. In the video provided I put two examples of rule of thirds, one is rule of thirds, the other is not rule of thirds. Another example of when rule of thirds would to be used is in the middle of a baseball game. Production crew would have the main camera focused on the player hitting the ball.

A to B video 

Daverion and I where put into a group to make a A to B sequence video, we decided that the video would be of someone moving from the E-communications room to the commons. Daverion or D and I decided that I would be the person in front of the camera but i haven't used the tripod yet. so D told me how to use the tripod. then Alex said that he would be in the video also because he was not assigned a group that day. I think that it was cool that i did not have to be on the camera because i am am shy guy, and haven't used a tripod yet.

Now we started to film, filming was really fun because D is really funny and it was a good hour and 30 minutes. I chose some of the angles, D chose some of the scenes, and Alex was walking around. after we started to fit we had to get some of the editing done. editing for me was really hard because for some the video in the middle would keep on disappearing, it was so confusing to me. our editing was of Alex going into the commons and reading. It was really fun working with D, I think that our video is really good and had a fun time.
