     For the first project we where given a set of tutorials and pictures that went with the tutorials. Step by step, we watched the tutorials and we edited the photo for the specific video. There was a set of 6 but in total we edited 8 photos.      We learned how to take unwanted objects out of photos. we used healing brushes, layers, ect using adobe photoshop. with each photo there was different set of unique difficulties to the unwanted objects. For the six different tutorials there was learning how to use content aware fill, patch tool, clone stamp and healing brush, clone stamp and patch tool, spot healing brush, and building a portrait collage. The sixth video was the most difficult cause it came with its own set of 6 tutorials. The first one was simple, you just had to arrange the layers. the second one you extended the background, third was too retouch the main image. Fourth was to mask the main image, five was to refine the mask and finally six...

                   This semester for our final, we did a project that used video, graphic design, web design, and animation.  We created a company and then a product by the company. Our company name was Pack Backs and we sold the infinity pack. The infinity pack is an infinite storage in a regular back pack. You could think of something you want, reach ur hand in, and pull out the object of your desire. some challenges we faced where thinking of ways to avoid inflation and making the perfect logo. We learned how to make our one website and work as a team. After nine weeks of hard work I Personally think our project was a major success and many people would buy our product.           During class time we accomplished a lot of work. As a team we finished the video, created the perfect logo, made a website with the design matching the theme of our company, and we made multiple animations. To stay productiv...

CSS and CARP design            This week in Ecomm, we made a website. We had to learn and use things that are mandatory for creating a website such as CSS and HTML. To correctly design the website, a while back we learned something called carp. Carp stands for contrast, alignment, repetition, and proximity. We where given a list to do to make this website more pleasing to look at by using this specific strategy. Contrast            Contrast draws your attention to the page. Usually contrast is between opposite colors, like black and white, or red and green. We used contrast for this website by using different shades of brown from the dog. We also used different text, like the size between the title and the paragraphs made you look strait to the title. Alighnment           Alignment is where you correctly align text, paragraphs, or pictures to make it pleasing to the eye. We used alignment i this...

         This week in ecomm we where told to make a house. Our teacher put up pictures of houses on google classroom so we could look at. After we made the house, including the deck, roof, windows, doors, we had to make textures and colors for the house. We where told that we had to use at least two textures that where not from SketchUp. That meant we had to get it from the internet. We would drag the texture that we liked to the home page, and then into SketchUp. After that, we animated it. We made different frames for the house by using different angles.            For my house, i made more of a simplistic design. My house was small, and was brick. I also used a dark, old looking wood that i got from the internet. for the stairs, i used rock rather than wood, because i personally thought it looked better. for the door i made it have a window. The animation, we got to choose our different frames. i used six different frames ...

        Personality tests:                 Test #1: In Ecomm we did something called a personality test. After taking this test with about sixty questions, it would then examine my answers and tell me weather I was an extravert or an introvert. An extrovert is an outgoing person who is good in social situations. An introvert is someone who would rather read a book then hang. The test that I took told me that I was an extrovert. It asked me questions like if I liked being in crowds, or just sit and read a book. Of course I said I like being in crowds, because I am a people person. Being a people person makes me an extrovert, and according to my test, I was basically the opposite of an introvert.                 Test #2:The second test that I took put me into one of four categories. After taking the test, the animal that I got was an otter, which means i am playful and I like to be aro...

This week in Ecomm we had a project. Our teacher told us to go on photoshop and make an animation that had to do with the ball bouncing from the corner like he taught us to do. When the ball was done bouncing, there had to be a surprise at the end. For my animation, I made grass with the brush for my background, and frame by frame I made the ball bounce. When the ball stopped bouncing, I wanted my surprise to be different. originally I wanted the ball to be like an egg, and a chicken pop out of it. I had some difficulties with that so I made a raven (our mascot) jump out instead. I thought the raven looked boring so I put a crown and a cape on him making him a king raven jumping out of a red bouncy ball. Not only that but I made a cage fall on him. The process of making this animation, that is about five seconds, took 3 days. The background was pretty easy, I just took a brush that looked like grass, and filled in a little more than a third of the page. next, I made the ball ...

This project took a lot of work but overall it was pretty simple. Our teacher made a series of videos that we could watch and follow along with. We had to take a picture of ourselfs and put it on our website. We made links to the e Comm website, the school website, and our own website. The video taught us about basic website making so we could create one ourself. We also wrote somthing called an elevator pitch. A elevtor pitch is somthing that you would say to a future boss in a quick amount of time on the elevator I learned many things with the project. We learned how to make the basic foundation of a website, how to quickly say what ur talents are, how to make links on our website to other websites, ect. This project taught us many things that i never even thought of when I looked at some random website. Next time we do this I will know how to work dream weaver a little better, because the hardest part of this project was acually settng up dream weaver. Also, it will be a lot mo...
