SketchUp Project


SketchUp was quite the interesting program. It was easy for me to handle the basics due to having previous experience with it. There were difficulties later on in the project. Occasionally there would be some problems with the measurements of the windows and roof. Near the end I was extremely confused on what our instructor meant by seamless textures. I thought it was referring to the black outlines not being there so I worked for a long time trying to figure out how to make my project "seamless." I finally came to the instructor and found out seamless textures are just imported repeatable patterns of bricks, wood, and any other material that our house might have.


Overall the project was enjoyable. This will be my last animation project until potentially fourth quarter. If I do pick animation as one of my classes next year I'm hoping for frame by frame 2D animation.


The plans were difficult for me to work with as it would have been handy if they provided measurements for each wall. I had to take a lot of trial and error to get the proportions right and had to estimate where the windows would be as shown in the design.

Final Blog For one project, we had to create a poster design, postcard design, and ticket design for a music concert or art show. I picked a music concert of one of my favorite musicians, Regina Spektor. It took me a long time; I believe it was around three weeks of work. I ended up getting behind while working on the vector portrait of her, but I’m proud of how it turned out. It was difficult to catch up and keep up. However, learning how to use adobe better was a good experience. Overall, I like this project, and so did my table partner. I did have to adjust the ticket design due to it being boring with just Regina, so I added the flowers. The poster is my favorite, mostly because you can see the vector graphic the best in that one.   In this project, we had to create a card design for some occasion. For mine, I decided to make a design for my dad’s 50th birthday and for my brother’s high school graduation. It took me a couple weeks, but I was actually ahead for

10 Words Animation Project

10 Words Animation Project This project was a project involving choosing 10 words to describe ourselves. We would put them into an animation as our first project. First I came up with several words, which were lost due to saving issues. I rewrote what I could remember and wrote in a few for those I couldn't. These words were put into photoshop along with my name. Our teacher, Mr Netterville, explained how to use the software for animation. It made sense, but I had a few trouble with technical difficulties; such as losing a word or not being able to change the opacity correctly. With the help of some classmates I eventually figured out everything and continued working. After completing the basic animation I fixed the words so they wouldn't cross on top of each other during the animation. I looked at the animation before leaving class for the day and realized it was very boring. Before lunch I decided to come back at the time to visit teachers during lunch so I could
