Famous Logo

For the famous logo project I did the apple logo. At first it was a little tricky trying to make the base of the apple but after a while, I figured it out. The tutorial I used is on YouTube.

Creative Anarchy

Creative anarchy is bending the rules without breaking them, but at the same time still following them. Graphic design is all about making life flourish, and not be black and white. Design influences all of our lives if you knew it or not, it does everyday. Think about this, you're at a clothing store and you see all of these clothes all grays, blacks, reds, blues, and all other colors and somewhere in all of the clothes you spot a neon colored shirt your instincts are naturally going to tell you to go check that shirt out because it stands out more than all of the others. Again at that moment if you knew it or not that shirt impacted you because its design was unique. That is exactly what design is all about, making your idea stand out, give it a creative twist and make it your own.

My Pencils and Personal Project

In this project in graphic design we made pencils. First, we made one that we followed directions, and the second we did it ourselves. To make it, first we put the grid on so the objects would snap to the grid to make it easier. Then we made the shapes snapping them to the grid, and then we used the live paint bucket tool to color the pencil. First, I learned a lot about illustrator such as the live paint bucket, the pencil tool, and how to use the grid to get objects to snap to align the shapes to make your creation. Then the last one on the bottom was my personal project, pac-man because one of the first games I played was pac-man. 

Professional Project Review

In this video is is a bunch of small birds not letting a bigger bird in their group and the smaller birds end up getting launched up in the sky from the telephone pole. The emotions that are on the characters face is one element I could apply to my own work because it shows how the birds are feeling. One element I have added to some of my own works is the squash and stretch that is in the video like when the birds are launched, and when they hit the ground. The best part of the animation is when the birds start pecking the bigger birds feet to make him let go of the telephone pole wire. This work could improve by adding more emotion to the bird's faces.

What is Graphic Design

Graphic design is the process of visual communication, and problem-solving through the use of type, space, image and color. Graphic design is everywhere. Its on tissue boxes, food packaging and more! With graphic design you can connect with others, with the color the design and maybe personal opinions. Knowing it or not graphic design is around you every day.

e9 Final Project 

In animation, I was the team member that made the product or the prototype to see what it would end up looking like. In the end I was feeling pretty good on how it turned out. Originally, I expected it to look very horrible but, it wasn't half bad! At first, being a team was a little tricky since none of us had really worked together in our class this year. But learning each other's skills in animation made each rotation that much easier.

Second, for my group our next rotation was going to be graphic and web design. Greyson was doing a good job as the leader at first but soon enough we all stepped up and had to take the role as the leader every now and then. In the graphic and web rotation I mainly worked on the coupon and the ad everyday. In graphic design m group worked really well together and got along.

Finally, in the third rotation, video my group really worked well together. At the beginning we had a rough start on the story board of our commercial, but as a team we were able to pull our skills together and make one great company.
