Today in Highschool

Today in "eComm" we played with legos as a group. Our teachers wanted us to do another team building exercise, and made us play with legos. We were supposed to have one person telling instructions while the rest of us worked. We did this four times. It helped develop new "working with a team skills."

Blog Post Critique

These past weeks in e9 we started exploring with web design. We had done this a little bit last quarter in Graphic Design, but we started focusing on it more these past few weeks.

Web Design is fun, but it's not something I choose to do. Honestly, i was really confused at some parts. But i got to learn more about web design which is awesome.

I learned more about the Adobe Suite, especially Dreamweaver. There's a lot of confusing stuff to remember, but I could see myself enjoying it in the future. I learned more about different codes and different css style's.

Dream House Project

These past few weeks we have been working in Google Sketch-Up to create our "dream house." Google Sketch-Up is very easy to use and also very fun, I look forward to using this more during our time in animation.

Keynote Animation

This quarter in e9 we have moved on to the Animation strand, instructed by Mr. Sappingfield! This is our first main project we have started, and we animated through Keynote. After we have met our 200 slide minimum we imported it over to iMovie, and then added in some music and sound effects. After we had all of our music in and it was ready, we uploaded to YouTube and Edmodo, the YouTube link is; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ivFVm-Dj8

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'.
