Web project

 these are the websites we made for the web project. in this we learned how to use dreamweaver. We pasted the elevator pitch and bio into our home page for general information. Then on the projects page we put in our projects from this quarter and last quarter for all of our top projects in each section

House project

This is my house that i made in sketchup. In this project i learned how to do scenes in sketchup and how to make a lot of different items in sketchup. While i was making this i struggled with making the windows because it first made them not touching the wall then when i tried to put on the wall it wouldnt go through the wall and you couldnt see through the windows.

Compass

Are first project was to put the ONW compass and the ONW on a picture of the school. It was pretty easy to do you just had to copy paste the pictures in and then lower the opacity on the pictures and you done.




Butterfly

Are second project was the butterfly. Where we were supposed to change all of the wings to different colors because it looks cool. Then we used a tool called the clone stamp on the edges of the wings and it made the copies on the side to
 make it look like its flying.




Northwest

The third project was this Northwest in front of the school. For this we had to put a text mask on top of the school that says NORTHWEST. After that we needed to add gradient to the area around
                                                                                    the letters.
                                                                                  




Collage

We had to do a collage for our last project. For this we needed pictures of the different parts of the school. Then we had to insert these pictures on top of the school and we had to turn down the opacity and then we were finished.

DogHouse sketchup

This is the doghouse i made in sketchup. We used exact measurements to make it. I added a fence and 2 dog bowls and a doggy door. plus i imported a dog in there so it isnt just a doghouse.

Chairs and a table in sketchup

today we made chairs and a table in sketchup. we learned how to make a design and use the follow me tool to make it go all the way around the design.

Bouncing Ball with arcs animation

Today we made a bouncing ball like are first on but with arcs. We were trying to make the ball more realistic so we made the ball move to one way and I made it roll of the edge. We used photo shop to do this aswell and we transformed the  ball when it bounced to show the squash and stretch. We also used the frame animation to help us make the animation.

Name Animation

This is an animation of my name being written I made it using the frame animation and i erased more and more of my name every time then reversed the frames to make it look like i was writing it instead of erasing it and I put layer effects on my name at the end to give it some more flare. I learned from this how to use the tween to and the layer effects tool and mare ways to use the reverse tool.

About The Animation

This is my animation of a bouncing ball that squashes and stretches. One technique i used to make this was squash and stretch. Another technique i used was the ease in and ease out.

10 words animation

In this animation we used the video timeline to make are 10 words that describe us move around our name.

Logo

i made this logo because it represents me. One way it represents me is that im in this circle its like a wall or a boundry that i cant go outside of but while im in side i make the most of it with all different angles, and lots of slants, with crooked letters, and overlapping letters. i made it have angles that look off because nothing is perfect. I used black and white to keep it simple because im not sure what i want my brand to be known for yet. i like to keep things simple and able to change at any time so their arent any boundries to my work.

Alex Kuehn Personality test

 My Personality Type

 I personality type is an INTJ. This is the rarest personality type you can be with only 2% of the population being this. They make the most money on average and they have the highest grades in school. They are people who think very deeply about things and run through every option in their head before they actually do anything. They are usually more quiet then most. But they
are very imaginative. One famous person that is
INTJ was Issac Newton.

 How it Describes Me

I think my type describes me very well because I think through most of my decisions a lot before actually attempting anything. One part that isnt spot on is that i not always that quiet. This personality test helps me realize why i try to get really good grades and set very high goals of myself and if i dont achieve them i am disappointed. It also tells me why when i am playing basketball i speak up about wanting the ball i just stay quiet and let the ball come to me.

 In groups o usually like to be the leader which is and isnt good for my type it is good because we like to get good grades and we think through things but it also isnt because we tend to be quiet so the role of leader can be hard. It is good though to be put in a position like that because it helps you grow so you can do it better in the future.

 What I Learned

This assignment has taught me that i am very unique and that my future will most likely be very good. I have also learned that the people around me are very different than i am and thats normal. Also that i should try to not judge people as much because that is just how they are and you cant change it.

LOGB TEST 

In the LOGB test i got all but 1 4 in the beaver section so i am strongly beaver but i also had a lot of points in the lion section. These are both very accurate as i like to lead and i like to think a lot and plan stuff out. 

Social media hurts girl's education

Yesterday in ecomm we read an article called "they loved your GPA, then they saw you tweets" by Natasha Singer it was about a girl who went on a college visit to Bowdoin College. While she made posts on her twitter talking about the other students in a negative way. She never thought that the college would look at her social media to she what kind of person she was. They thought that was not the kind of person that they want in their school. Then they decided to decline her admission all together.


What Surprised Me

A lot of this article was surprising because its crazy to think that colleges look at your social media but here were the top things that surprised me. First was that the girl posted disparaging comments on twitter about her fellow attendees because i thought it was crazy that someone would do that. Next was that the college denied that girl in the end due to these posts. Finally there is that people thought it was unfair for the colleges to look at social media but i was wondering why they would put it on there in the first place if they didnt want people to see it.


What Confused Me


There were a lot of confusing things in this article mainly because of people being dumb. The first thing that i thought was confusing is that colleges might find an account that might be an imposter account which confused me because they acted like it happens a lot when it sounds really crazy. Another is that an applicant posted offensive comments about his high school teacher because i wasnt sure why anyone would put these things on social media.

Affect on my Social Media 

This really has no affect on my social media. I dont ever post anything bad on social media because that is just dumb. Plus why would i want people to think of me as a bad person. I want people to know me for me.

Pathfinder exploration

While making this thing with pathfinder i learned a lot of new tools in the  pathfinder tutorial like the minus tool, unite, divide, intersect, and exclude. These were all very helpful in making my shape what i did was i made a 2 rectangles on top of each other. Then i had 4 circles and used the exclude tool on the circles and it made the spots white then I merged it all together.

Font that describes me

We have been learning about anatomy of the font. After taking a test i got the font of Architype Van Doesburg. My words describe my brand very much because we are emotional for people in hard times. We are assertive by stating want we want to do and sticking with it. Progressive because we are always looking for whats new in design. Finally we are disciplined because we are always on time and on task. Then once i got my font then i got out my vocabulary and went to work on describing the anatomy of my font.

Creative color wheel project

Color psychology is using different colors to affect your views on something. Like using complimentary colors or us warm and cold colors. they all appeal to a different people. Also you can use colors like red for passion or purple for wealth and royalty. Brands use color psychology all the time in their signs, their logos, their adds, and their products all to attract you in to a have a different opinion on their product.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic design to me is visually expressing what you want to say. It is all around you from a sign to a book cover. It is about making it appeal to whoever your are making it for. It is freely putting words into pictures. One connection i have to graphic design is when i would make posters for a lemonade stand during the neighborhood garage sales. Its crazy to me to think about how simple or complicated graphic design can be. Sometimes you can look at something for 30 min and still not get the meaning or you can figure it out in a split second. Its all based on the person and how you think. For some they might instantly get it and others it takes forever.
