color wheel

The Project

We were given a project where we had to make a color wheel on adobe illustrator, but before we could make the color wheel we had to learn about the different colors and how there are different color combinations that work together. After we took notes we then had to start using adobe illustrator, which was pretty new for me so it took some time to figure out all of the shortcuts, shapes, and everything like that. After getting used to the program It was a pretty fun project, which was good.

What I Learned

Throughout the days that we were working on this project we learned a lot of information. We looked at the color wheel and how there are primary and secondary colors. We also looked at different color schemes like complementary which are colors across from each other, and triad colors which are three colors that make a triangle on the color wheel, not to mention schemes like analogous and split complementary. We were also taught about different types of a certain color, like hues, tints, and shades. That day I was also introduced to adobe illustrator which as I said before, was very new to me. We had to make a new file in the program and I had to remember the different shortcuts that we learned, along with the basics on how to put different shapes on the screen, fill them with colors, and add things like text into my project.

How It Went

I think that overall the project went very well. After I got used to the program and really understood what we were assigned I think that this was very fun and low-key project. At the beginning I was a little confused with how everything worked but after just a couple of minutes i got the hang of it. For next time I think that I could do a better time with my job management. I feel like I went kind of slow on this project, which was most likely because I was being introduced to something new, so this will be an easy fix as I go on to the next project.

My Logo Design The Process           When I first heard about this project I was actually really excited for what the outcome would be. We started out the first couple of days just watching videos and really coming up with sketches. Even though this probably sounds easy and low-key, it was actually pretty challenging. We had to keep in mind things like simplicity and if it would work in different colors. Not to mention if the whole design would look good on anything like a t-shirt, or storefront. Personally I had a large amount of ideas that I thought could work but once you try to sketch them they usually do not turn out, so it took me some time to come up with a few designs that I really liked and thought could be a good option for me. In the end of the sketching portion of this project I had come up with 4 designs that I was really satisfied with, and it was time to move on to adobe illustrator.             ...

When we first got into our group, it took everyone a little bit of time to figure out what symbols we would want to use. For me, I already knew that I could use a dance shoe since I am a dancer, but I wanted to use something a little bit different. By the end of class that first day I had a few options that I liked a lot, a horseshoe for good luck and a red rose for hope, balance, and promise were a couple of them.  I was thinking that good luck is always something that everyone wants, which is why I chose the horseshoe. For the rose I knew that different colors had different meanings and I came to the conclusion that the meaning of a red rose fit what I wanted the best, especially since it symbolized hope. On the second day of this project my group finally started to combine our ideas into one symbol. It took many, many sketches but we finally found one symbol that we liked. The outside part of our symbol that tied everything together was a basket, our idea was to put all...

My Personality Type After answering all of the questions on the test, the website showed that my personality type was ENFJ. It said that I was 3% more of an extrovert, 19% more intuitive, 6% more on using my feelings rather than thinking, and 16% more of judging something. When I clicked on the next website to see what a ENFJ personality type was like, it said a lot about how they were very helpful to other people and how they were really loyal. It also stated that these people often are the leaders of the group and like to take control of what is going on around them. Another page that I went to even had one word at the top that seemed like an overall summary of that personality type, and my word was teacher. That page also talked about how these people are very optimistic and how they put others before themselves. Overall I feel like this personality type describes me really well, I would say that I am very helpful to other people and that I am very positive and optimistic. I ha...
