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.

Web Project

These past few weeks in e9, we have been working on a web project in Adobe Dreamweaver. We made multiple pages with HTML. We learned all of the basics of Dreamweaver and even a little extra. This was a really fun and interesting project to do and make. We also had some questions to answer, found below.

B1. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.
B2. <head> and </head> are the tags that make headings.
B3. <body> and </body>
B4. H2
B5.  <strong> and </strong>
B6. <em> and </em>
B7. <p> and </p>
B8. Insert>HTML>Special Characters

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.

Compass

This week in Graphic Design we started with photoshop. I had some past experience but not very much. This project was pretty easy, we had a step-by-step direction sheet to go off of. It was a pretty fun project to make, and I can't wait to continue with photoshop.

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.

color wheel

In Graphic Design this week we learned about color wheels and how important they are. And we also learned how colors symbolize different emotions and feelings.

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.
