sketch up house

The Project

We were assigned with the project of creating a house on the program sketch up. Of course this was going to be a challenge considering that we had never used that program, but we got the hang of it. When making the house we were not just making it up in our minds, we were going off of a house that we chose on the website called houseplans.com. The requirements were that the house had to be a certain size, and that it could only be one level. But other than that, the project was really open to creativity. After finishing the house, we were also given the task to create a "movie" type production of our house. There was no specific time limit for this, and it could include as many slides as it took to really show off the best spots of our houses. Overall, I appreciated that this project allowed us to be open-minded and gave us the opportunity to see how some people actually design houses.

What I Learned

Throughout this project I have learned many aspects of animations. First off, we had to become adapted to a whole new program, which takes a lot of time to fully understand how it works. Specifically we had to figure out how to use different tools, like the push pull tool, and the line tool, along with many others. To ease us into the new program, we started off simple by just making a couple of chairs, using a lot of the main tools. But as we started with the project, we also had to use different tools like the move tool, and the rotate tool. I also learned many things about how to make the measurements accurate, and even how to create different textures with the options that you have. After fully completing our house, we also had to learn the different factors about how to make our house into a short video, which was not too hard to comprehend. Overall after the outcome of this project, I now understand the many different parts that it takes to make a quality animation.

How It Went

Overall this project went pretty well. The program sketch up can be very complicated to use, and throughout the whole project I made many mistakes that I had to fix or possibly ask questions about. Thankfully asking questions and fixing my mistakes is what impacted my comprehension of the program the most. I have definitely gotten adapted to the program, and I am sure that throughout the future I will become a lot more comfortable with the program as a whole. Other than that, I feel very satisfied with this project, and I am very content with the outcome of my house, and my first experience using sketch up.

quarter 4 final project

Our Project For our final project, the teachers gave us teams of four or five, and assigned us with the task of creating a product. This may sound easy now but trust me, it was pretty difficult and had many different components to the whole project. Not only did we have to brainstorm ideas to make the product, but after we decided on the idea of making a hair growing shampoo called Ulu Lae , we had to make sure that our product would sell. We created advertisements, animations, logos, graphic designs, commercials, and even a website so we could really show off our product to the buyers. After all of this was created, we then had to present our ideas in front of the e9 teachers and anyone else in their classes, sort of like an episode of shark tank. This project had to be very thought out, and took mainly the whole fourth quarter to create, with rotations from the e9 teachers classes around every two weeks. Many people saw the more put together side of this project while we

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

10 words animation

The Project We were assigned a project where we had to make a animation of 10 words that describe us. We had already picked out these 10 words last quarter, so the whole objective of this project was to basically get introduced to adobe photoshop. We had some requirements, like they all had to come from off the screen to on the screen, and we also had to have all 10 words on the screen in about 4 seconds. But we were also given a lot of chance to add in our own creativity. We could change the colors of the words, we could have different fonts and sizes, and we could also choose how we wanted our words to come on the screen, like if we wanted them to bounce of a wall or twirl around. It was really a lot of our own choices that made up how the project turned out. What I Learned  The main thing I learned while doing this project was a lot about photoshop. I learned how to create a video timeline and all of the different ways you can bring something on to the screen. I also learned
