Cyle Kobe: 2014

Dec 17, 2014

The quarter with Mrs. Lofquidst in graphic design is coming to an end. actually this is the last day of freshmen year. I've learned a lot throughout these nine weeks and might consider taking it again next year.

The final project we did was actually pretty simple and not too hard to do. We cut a snowflake out of blue tissue paper and then scanned it into the server folder. Then I tok the snowflake into Adobe Photoshop and changed the color, and took a picture from my favorite ski resort in Keystone, Colorado and just added a couple flakes to the ski slope.

Final Project

These past weeks in photoshop we have done around four projects. These were all really fun and we all learned the basics about photoshop. My favorite project was the raven, seen up top. This project was the hardest and the most fun to do. We had to get rid of the cars and light poles, and also blend in all the pictures of Olathe Northwest into the raven. I really enjoyed this quarter in graphic design, and can't wait to return next year.

Orthogonal Cube

This week in Graphic Design we made orthogonal cubes in Adobe Photoshop. This is one of our first projects in the new software and with finals coming up, there's a lot of info to cram in in a short amount of time. This project was really fun to make though, we learned a lot of the basics of photoshop and how to use it.

Fonts are very important pieces of art that symbolize every day culture. Logos can range from simple circles to elaborate contraptions of many different shapes. My logo is very simple and easy. I have a Raven (symbolizing my school mascot) and my last name represented by the sloppily written 'Kobe'.

Font Project

This week in Graphic Design we had a type-font project. We took a test online to find out which "font" we were from four letters describing us. My four letters were;

Rational

Understated

Traditional

Relaxed

These words describe me and how I act throughout the day. The font I got was Baskerville Italic, you can see an example in the above picture. I had a lot of fun finding out which type font I am and making this Handglovery diagram of my name in Baskerville Italic.

Graphic Design

There would be no personal connections without graphic design. Graphic Design creates those personal connections we make with everything. These could range from logos to pictures to even signs. We design everything to make life easier with recognizing different things.

Interview

For this final project we got in a group of three and interviewed each-other. All we needed for this was the six shots and a few of your own questions. And because we only needed the six shots, it lasts no more than twenty seconds. I have all the six shots and three questions and answers. I had Ian interview me and Amy film it. In final cut pro I learned how to cut a twenty second shot into just two. This came in handy because we had A LOT of extra film.

Chase Scene

This week in e-Comm we had a chase scene project, where we filmed a chase with multiple angles and told a small story at the same time.

For my next project i will add more music and fade it.

How was collaboration different?

For this project we used collaboration to have multiple ideas on angles and ideas.

How will you improve collaboration in your next project?

I will work together better to film better shots and have a better story.

Soccer-HighlightVideo

To make this video, I used Final Cut Pro. In FCPX, I used the blade tool mostly to get the exact clips I wanted. I also put in some audio to go along with the video, because nobody wants to hear an announcer freaking out over a goal.

I made this video about soccer, one of, if not my favorite sport. I gathered a collection of my five favorite goals and put them in.

Making this, I learned the basics on how to use FCPX. I feel like I did a pretty good job, and I can't wait to use this more in the future. I hope to get a job later in editing/making videos.

I uploaded this afterwards on YouTube and also Blogger. Editing and making this video was really fun, and I hope to make some pretty awesome videos with FCPX. And it was also pretty easy to use.
