The Sound proof Shower script that I created


The Scope of the Project

The Scope of this final project was for all of the E-Communication students to bring together their knowledge into groups of four to five and create a product and sell it. The students needed to be able to use all of the E-Communication branches (Web Design, Graphic Design, Animation, Video, and our presenting skills.). The process that my group and I used had many different parts to it. First we brainstormed and then we used a series of sketches, notes, and thumbnails. We also used many different Storyboards to layout our video that we had filmed.

The Things that I Learned while Creating this Project

During this process I learned how to lead and listen with a team. I think we all learned that with a team comes struggle.  During this process we used many different types of software’s. For the animation we used "Sketch Up" and for Graphic Design we used "Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop" and for the video portion we used "Final Cut Pro".  With Deadlines my team and I where usually on time with our projects. My group and I collaborated well on this project but again with a team comes struggle.

What will I do Next Time?


            Next time I have a big project like this and I have a group I think that I would communicate more with them when I was gone and ask them what I would need to do while I was gone. Also next time I think that my group and I should have met before and after school to work more on the project. I think the things that I would leave the same would be my leadership; towards the end I started to take charge in what was happening while we created the project. The things that I will draw from this project would be my collaboration skills, my leadership, and my creative ideas. Overall I thought that this project was a fun learning experience. I learned what it is like to working in a group with deadlines. I also learned how to improvise when someone does not corporate or if someone forgets to do his or her part.

Next time I will used the same methods that I used thous time.  I will use some of the process  that I used in this project.

Photoshop Projects

 For Photoshop Project number one I used many different tool to create this project. One of the tools that I used to Start this project was A text box to type in the letters ONW. Then I inserted the compass and I then sent it to the back (Behind thee letters ONW).  I also changed the opacity of the two objects to make them appear ghost like. 

Photoshop Project 2
In Photoshop project number 2 I used the mask tool to choose the areas that I wanted to change the colors. I also used the clone stamp in this project, the clone stamp made the wings highlighted so that I knew where to put the color.


In photoshop project number 3 I used the masked typeface tool making the word NORTHWEST appear over the image and and allowing the picture of the school to appear through the letters. 
Photoshop Project 3                    


I was absent for photoshop project 4 and the web project.

Entail Logo

Logo 
Logo Sketch 


1) The "Scope" of this project was to create a logo of our entails so that we can use it when we make future projects (like using a signature) or if we use it for a  business it would be on our cards and letter head and possibly on the front of our building(s).

2) This is not my original thought for my logo, originally I wanted to incorporate a lowercase g hanging off of a capital N.  That was for my first draft, my second draft changed the lower case g to the capital N being inside a Capital G as you can see in the pecan of my sketches.

3) While making my logo I have learned that it takes patience and time and also a lot of creativity to even make the smallest of things in graphic deisgn. I also got familiar  with my tools and adobe illustrator.

4) Next time I will probably take more time on my main idea, making it look more professional and look better.

5) Next time I will probably use my tools the same as I did while making my logo. I thought that this time I worked well with my tools.

6) Next time we are working on a project I will probably draw it more only in different ways.

7) I really like this project and I plan on using my logo for many things! I also really enjoy this class!

Logo

     For my logo I choose Starbucks logo. The colors of the logo are black, green. The green and black look very well together, the black compliments the green. The black outlines the and it makes the green POP! Starbucks "Mascot" is a mermaid in the center of its logo. I think that they choose it because I think that a mermaid symbolizes freedom and energy and I think that is why they choose it for their logo.
