The Nature Man

The Nature Man

     We were assigned to edit a photo of a man by adding on different scenery pictures to him. I, unfortunately, was gone a day, and basically had my life completely thrown off track. I haven't been able to enjoy the class or keep up with everybody since. By now, I'm just trying to keep getting stuff done, so I can get the grades in, since I'm struggling in this class. Basically, my entire completion of this project has been working in between other projects and coming in during lunch. I went in with an idea, and just went for it, improvising for the most part. I would've spent a longer time carefully planning out a beautiful image, but I couldn't do that with the time I had to work on it. Keep in mind, I have other classes that need me to make up work and continue to give out homework, so stress was already high. Still, I finished the project.

     I definitely learned the kind of stress photoshop brings to people who aren't experts in it, and probably experts as well. Dealing with the rigors of photoshop wasn't easy, due to its complexity and more errors. It was terribly late, but eventually done. I would go back and suffer through school for that day, and just hope nobody else got sick. I'd still do the same design, since I like the idea and color palette contrast with the urban scenes. I will avoid missing days of school, unless I'm literally throwing up. I hope to never have to go through something like this again, but I'm glad it's done.

Final Blog

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 ...

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 meas...

Performance Review

Performance Landscape Man We were assigned to photoshop images over his jacket and shirt to create a "Landscape Man," as it was called. This took around a week of class, but I came in a lot during lunch and after school to get it finished, since I was behind. I had a whole lot of difficulty in remembering how to use different tools of photoshop. With doing that, I had to relearn a lot of photoshop tools, so that was incredibly difficult. After I finished, I did get compliments, mostly due to its difference from most other projects. Most people were using forest scenes or nature, but I couldn't work with that, so I went with a cityscape. I really like this one, actually. It has such bright colors and contrast, so this really appeals to my favorite color palettes. Panorama This project was a panorama of photographs that follow a certain theme. My theme was childhood memories. We spent around two weeks in class, I believe, but I took a while and had to spend time ...
