kaitlyn rose sidewalk chalk

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 of our symbols inside of the basket, like the basket was almost holding all these items. My symbol that I chose to put in the basket was the red rose, that one was my favorite symbol out of all my options. Other symbols that were in the basket were a design with a special meaning to that person, a spider, and a acorn. This part was challenging but by the end I am glad that we came up with a design that everyone liked.

When we went out into the courtyard I don't think that my group realized that when you draw with chalk it is a little bit harder to be more detailed. I think that our end product could have  maybe looked a little better just by using up more space in the basket. We also had some people changed their symbols, but other than that I think it turned out good! I feel like my group did a good job of collaborating with each other but we would have had a better end result if we could have stayed on task more and been more focused. That is what i will definitely do differently in my next activity. Overall i really enjoyed this project!

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

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.               Going to adobe illustrator I was feeling pretty confident that I k
