quarter 4 final

1. write about group product and presentation, website, graphic design, video and animation that you made.
                     our project was a teleporting backpack that would teleport the user to wherever they wanted, called the tele-pack. our project took us all of the 4th quarter to make with all of the animations, graphics, and commercial. all of these things together used up all of the quarter to make the tele-pack. some challenges that we faced where things like the animations not being long enough or did not look as we oped in the end. for example in the animation their is a big black scene that takes up the entire screen and we could not remove this from the final product, so that was a disappointment. I personally learned that it is harder to work as a group than on your own and this is how life is in the workforce. because sometimes my group did not want to do things my way or fix things that did not-

look good n the final product. some feed back that we where given during the final presentation is that you should not be nervous when presenting your product and that we should have removed the black scene in the presentation. some things that we changes when we got our feed back is we all practiced our parts over night and this relived some of the stress that the group was having. my opinion about quarter 4 is that i would have much rather done this on my own because I do not like having to work with other people and do things that they want done.


2. how did you use your time in class this quarter?

                      

                            I used my class time very well, i got my part of the project finished on time. I never was sitting down and day reaming I was always wondering on how I could make things either look, sound, or run smoother (example is the flylo logo I added onto the original to make it look better)  I think that I used my time in class very productively. when I would finish my parts early I would go over and look at other peoples work to see how far we are and then i would sit and think about how we could make my parts of the product batter so I never really finished early I got things done on time and on schedule. what do i do outside of class to help my productivity in class? for some time I had scketchup at my house, and I would go home and mess around on it trying to see what type of stuff that I could make and how could I make this at school.


3. what are my strengths and an employee or e-comunications student after one year ?
                         
                          like I said in number 2 I would go home after school and used what I learned in class to see if i could make something better and then go to school and add on to the original. my best strength during this project and e-com was the animations. I don't know why I find this so much fun but I liked using scketchup and making the house animation.

4. what are the areas in need of improvement?

                       something that I need improvement is on the web design because I had no idea how to even start the website. but luckily noell knew how to do that stuff. so I really need get better at making the websites for a latter class in the future. on the right is a screen shot from the website that noell designed.

5. summary

                  I loved most about this semester was creating a product and doing a shark tank presentation. I just thought that this was really cool and fun to do as a group and would not mind doing this again. something that I would change or do different was the animation and the commercial because during the animation there is a black scene and I hatted that and still do and in the commercial I had it that mason would fade out of the scene and I thought it looked cool but Kevin would not allow us to have this in a commercial and this has made me mad. overall learning experience is that this is how it will be in real life when I get a job there will be people that i have to work around or even meet their needs to ensure a good work life for everyone. final thoughts is that I liked this final and I don't want to sound like I am nagging on them but I did not like how mason and Kevin where not helping the team (more mason than Kevin) because that left me and noell having to do a little more than the others. I still liked this project even with all the setbacks and mistakes that we have had.

team projects aniation

animation 4th quarter 

stuff that i did for the group.

for an example i made the backpack for the product, this backpack that you see did not have any coloring or like 3d effects but you kinda see like what time of stuff that i personally made. in the other picture is of the classroom that i made with the back pack on. I also made some other stuff but don't have the picture of them so I think that I did allot of work even though I missed a couple of days.

stuff that needs work or that is done 

in our group we made the backpack, a background, animations, and the logo animation. this was our plan so we got all of this done. their was one thing that i saw that we could have had more work on and that is in the animation of the backpack teleporting from home to school is the big black screen that is supposed to look like you are teleporting through time and space but that not really what it looks like. so if we had more time it would be good to work on that part of the animation.

our team working together 

i think that everyone in our group is working well together and n their work except for mason because noell and mason where assigned by the group to work on the fly animation and noell did most of the work while mason played on his phone. i think that the other people in the group are concerned about how mason is no doing anything to help the team make some better work. but me and Kevin where assigned by the group to do the sketch animation and me and him did a great job working together and our work came out looking good. I did miss like 2 days because I had a complete dislocation of my pettela in my knee but i still finished all the stuff that was assigned to me so i don't know why mason is not helping the rest of us. 

graphic design rotation blog

graphic design group rotation 

our works so far has came out looking really good because all four of us know what it means to be part of graphic design and I also think that it has been really fun collaborating with my group because we all think differently and can all have some of the other peoples opinions, this makes our group function really well.  

           
as a team we got all of the 7 projects done that includes the product logo, company logo, coupon, web banner and ad. this was also a really good thing about my group is the we got all of the things done on time and did not struggle to get them turned in. some four work is at the bottom.
          
 what is our work? our work could be described as futuristic because it is a teleporting backpack and because of the web banner and the company name, they just sound like they could be from the fuerture and ir looks cool because their is allot of like good colors that go together like the blue and the orange just look good. 

kin-dove like i said above i like our work because of the color scheme and the futuristic apeal and i think that we can do some really cool ideas in animation and in film because of how our work looks. And I like our work because we made it as a team and it is cool to think that four people made this piece of art. 

our only downfall is that mason does not really want to help me Noell, and Kevin. because most of the time mason is playing on his phone or with other groups and not helping us with our work. I find this disappointing for the group because all three of us are working hard but mason is not. I also don really know why we didn't tell him to pitch in and help, we will have to do this in animation.

maybe an idea for improving would be on the company logo because it looks like it could be from the past and not the future.

FLYLO

from the beginning of quarter 2 i was put with a good group because we know how to get things done on time and cooperate with the other team members. so it has been a good experience with my team. 

I don't really know what "my role" is but i do know that i do not talk much and that is really bad for me but i am really creative and have allot of different ideas on how to do things. Fore example when we where trying to make product ideas, i shout that we could divide the paper into four different sections and labels them kids,students,adults, and elder so that we could have a good target audience range.

our team name is FLYLO and we decided to choose this because team juicy juice did not sound like a good company name. The main reason that we chose flylo was because it sounds cool, and all of the team agreed with that so we chose fly as our team. 

our product is a teleporting backpack that you can use either with voice activation or use a lightning cable to your phone. our teams product is useful for anybody of the age, because who doesn't want to teleport around town and be home in seconds. make life essayer, what would you risk getting in a car crash when you don even have to use your car.

as our group decided we thought that we would have a target audience of students. we decided to do students becaus we are going throught high highschool and it s hard to get from my house to school. so we made the telapack for people that have the same problems.

our slogan was why wait we chose thins because the telapck transports us from point A to point B in a flash so we thought that the slogan fit our needs

our product logo is a T and a P for teleporting backpack and the T has a arrow pointing out of the top of it to symbolize telaportation 

CSS and CARP design

CSS and CARP design 

in our class we made a website using adobe dreamweaver, to make the website you have to have the css files to import to dreamweaver once you do that you can start to work on your main project and thats the fun part. the m main differences of the ending HTML files is that one of the looks more of a professional look and that is the main idea behind carp. at the beginning html their is nothing done to the file that makes it look good, a example is there is no contrast or good grouping. so this was our job to add the principles of CARP into the html file.

c

the "c" in carp stands for contrast. and in the original html file there is no contrast, if you look at the original you would think that this is lame and would not get your attention and keep you reading. but in he new html file we took colors from the dog and used those colors that would grab your attention and keep you reading.

a

the "a" in carp stands for alignment. alignment in the original is all to the left and it looks really really lame. if you where to read it, your eyes would begin to loose focus and go off track. but when we used in the new html file we made the letters line up in a way that did not look lame it looked cool. 

r

the "r" in carp stands for repetition, this is important so that the reader gets the main idea and knows what the article or documents main idea is. in the original you  can clearly see that there is a dog but that is not the main idea the main idea is the poem. in the new html you can clearly see the poem and know that is the main goal 

p

the p is for proximidy and that is important so that the words are not all mixed together and have some spacing to look good.

House Animation

House Animation 

overview

in our class we chose a house from a website and than re created the house we chose in sketchup. we also are learning how to use the many different tools inside of sketchup. It was a really cool experience using sketchup and turning the house that i made into a animation. we also imported some special things that we do not know how to make like the flowers and car in my model.

what I learned 

what i learned is while using sketchup you have to pace yourself otherwise you are going to have a hard time trying  to make the house look good. I also learned that there are some things that are really hard to make. like the sphere witch was a really weird thing to make.

thoughts 

I thought that this was a really cool and fun to do project and i liked making the house. it was cool learning how to make all the different shaped. what i thought was the coolest is how you first start of with just gray bricks that at the end trn into a big, good looking house.

my personality type

my type 

I am a ENTJ using the myers-briggs personality type I found that i am a ENTJ. so according to the test i am 12% extravert, 22% intuitive,  38% thinking, and 12% judging witch makes me a ENTJ. in my own words a ENTJ will analyze somethings and will use their knowledge of that object. for a example today in class we saw a picture of a apple and listed things about it, the ENTJ's said thinks like tasty, seeds, fruity, and healthy. all of these things are what the picture do not tell  the viewer.

how well does this describe me 

i think that a ENTJ on describes 1/2 of me. some things that are correct about me are see logical policies, usually well informed, and enjoy long term planing. all of these things are spot on for me. the other stuff that does not describe me is assume leadership quickly,well read,force full in presenting ideas. this short list does not describe me. i am usually the last to take action and leadership. this actually does help to figure out who i am because sometimes kids in my second hour class will come up with way different ideas and problems that i never would have thought.

 the role of an ENTJ

so a role of a ENTJ would be like to sell to a audience and to clarify ideas. a example would be during  the  apple lab the ENTJ would say something like a good type of candle would smell good in your home. So a ENTJ would be a good helper to sell things.people could have misunderstood me because i do not really like to talk I like to be more to myself witch explains a ENTJ so people might not understand or think like me.

what i have learned 

i have learned on what type of person that i am like the ENTJ and how these people operate. i did not en know what this type of test is to find out what type of personality i have so I thought that it was cool that  a ENTJ explains who i am. some other things that i have learned is there are famous people that have the same personality like me for example adel, woodrow wilson, and bill gates and others have the same personality like me.

personality activity 

in our class we did a personality activity that would pair us with 4 different animals that have the same personality as me. the 4 different animals are a lion, otter, golden retriever, and a beaver. the lion is someone who would take leadership in a project, the otter is someone that is very social, the golden retriever is good at making friends, and the beaver is organized. i cdid the test and was most like the lion and the otter witch is some what correct about me. like taking charge and making decisions.
