Photohop Projects

These are all of my photoshop projects that I have done during my imd in the graphic/web design part of e-Comm. My first project was the one on the top right where we photoshopped the compass and the letters ONW in front of the school. The second on the bottom right was the butterfly where we made it different colors and made it look like its wings were flapping. The third one was the one on the bottom left were we made a mask that said northwest in front of the school. The fourth was the one on the top which was my name and we made it with gradients. Then the last one the top left was the school with different parts of the school photoshopped in front of it. In that project we also photoshopped two cars, and two light poles that were in the way. Graphic designers need illustrator and photoshop because they need photoshop to cut out parts of a picture and illustrator to make new shapes and new things such as logos.

Hello World Web Page Project

This was my first time making a web page. We made them using dreamweaver and did all sorts of cool stuff with them! We did things from making footers, making the whole page a different color and how to add new options. I also learned how to put links inside of my webpage. This project had some difficult and some easy parts. Some easy parts were inserting pictures and learning how to insert links, and some hard parts were learning how to do the CSS styles and all of the things you can do with it. Web/Graphic design was really fun especially learning how to do photoshop!

About My Logo

The main idea or "scope" of this project was to make a logo on our own with imagination. The process of doing this was first we made several rough sketches of the logo and we chose one to base our logo off of. Then we went into adobe illustrator and created our logo using different colors and shapes. During this project I learned a lot about illustrator and making a logo. I learned about using gradients and transforming shapes. Next time I will do lots of things differently, such as not having to stop to ask as many questions so I will have more time to work, but I will do somethings the same. Next time I will use gradients iff they are necesary and using a wide variety of colors and shapes.

The Color Wheel

It matters what colors marketers use to market their items so that they will be sold. Color matters because it gets the customers attention. If the colors don't make each other stand out then the item won't be sold. Also adding other little things like colorful labels or the colors of a cartoon character for a promotion.

Red-Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Green-Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

Blue-Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Black-Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

White-White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.

Purple-Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

Yellow-Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.

Logo Color Use

Logo Color Use:

 

The colors used in this logo are a yellow-green and purple. The logo is representing McDonalds. The color scheme it uses is complementary, yellow and purple are across from each other on the color wheel. The company choose these colors because since they are complementary one color makes the other stand out so it makes the whole logo very noticeable. 

Interview

Hi my name is Drew Leavitt, and this is my video over my Ecomm interview. We incorporated the six shot sequence as well as the 180 angle rule. In the video I was asked six questions of my choice to answer all about Ecomm. The first question was how are you liking Ecomm so far? Also more questions similar to that. In this project collaboration was very important. For telling our camera man what shot we want and at what angle. Also making sure the interviewer knows the question to ask the interviewee. I learned a lot of new things in this class, including almost every shortcut key that has been taught to us. I also learned how to use blogger and how useful it can be. I also made some new friends in the class, and learned what everyone is good at in the class, such as someone being really good at editing, but not that great of a filmer. At the end of the video strand I learned lots of new things, that collaboration is important, shortcut keys can save lots of time and are very useful, and last that video was very fun! 

Chase scene

Hi my name is Drew this is a quick chase scene video that my group and I did. I learned in this project that sometimes it takes a while to shoot, edit, and completely finish a video this long. Also Im learning some more shortcut keys that are really useful. To my next project I will apply group leadership such as when my group get off task the help keep them focused on what we need to finish, and that we can mess around later. Collaboration was different in this project because we had to make sure that the scenes connected one to another and that there was no jumping and obvious skips. I could improve collaboration in my next project by not having just one person doing each thing such as only having one person help with the camera, but to have everyone help with the angles and making sure the video turns out well.

Two sixshot sequences

Hi my name is Drew, and this is my groups six shot sequence. From this project I learned that it doesn't take only one or two tries to get a shot right, It takes two or three at the minimum and maybe five at the maximum. I also learned that it is mostly important that you have the right camera angle so that you don't have part of the person being recorded cut out of the clip. For my next project I will apply my skills that I have obtained from this project to my next one. Such as proper camera angles, and communicate and work as a team. Collaboration is to work with one another and or cooperate with others in a group. This applied to my group's project because we had to work as a team to get the project done. If we hadn't of worked well together then we wouldn't have completed the project in time.

My personality type ESTJ

My personality type is ESTJ. Which stands for Extravert, sensing, thinking, and judgment. I am 89% extravert, 12% sensing, 38% thinking, and 1% judgment. Bernard Mongomery, Henry Ford, Hilary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, and Ann Coulter are all examples of ESTJs.

ESTJ's are normally hardworking people who want to be in charge of the office at work, or in charge of a group project at school. ESTJs like to get things done in one setting, not working on it over time, unless its a huge project. They prefer things to be in a certain and exact order. An ESTJ also establishes guidelines so everyone knows what is expected. They trust their personal experiences and influence them into new ideas. They often take a high leadership role in helping others as well. They also excel at meeting goals and requirements, making decisions, and quick at accomplishing a task. ESTJs command a situation and know how things are going to work and what is not going to work. They always put work before play, making sure everyone one does what they have been assigned to do. The ESTJ is the fifth most common type of the general population and second among men. Hobbies most ESTJs like consist of repairing things around the home, gardening, volunteering, community service and playing and watching sports.

 

Six shot Sequence

This is my six shot basketball sequence. The first shot is the ball in the hands getting prepared for the shot.The second is over the shoulder showing the correct form of how to hold the ball. The third shot is waist above showing a little more and how he is facing to the hoop. The fourth is a little farther out and the fifth is the full body shot. The last one is the net, the person and what he is doing. In the further i will know how to take the shots from better positions and easier and quicker.
