CSS and CARP design

For this project we worked on web design. we had to change up the way the poem looked. The only thing i did wrong was on the title part. the title was supposed to be light brown but on mine its not. Web design was easy for me this time unlike the other times which was really good. I learned to do things the i didn't the first time. I learned how to set it up and who to add fonts that aren't there. i learned how to move aside images and make the text more lined up.

In my example there are head lines to each starting sentence in the paragraph and the title is way bigger than the one in the begging.

A great example of alignment is defiantly the text or the way the poem in put. It is now all to one side. I also aligned the dog on the other side of the poem so that it docent look to plane.

Tree Project

In this project i had drawn a tree 20 different times. My experience with this was okay. I personally thought it was kind of boring but it did kind of open my eyes to see how many ways of drawing there was. Out of all of the trees i drew i really liked one of my hard ones but know i couldn't accomplish it on illustrator. If i tried i most likely would have hated it. So i went for an easier one. Even drawing one of the easier ones on illustrator was hard. I can't seem to get the coloring right and how i want it. 
The end results weren't that bad. Its not my best but it isn't my worst. One of the reasons I'm taking graphic design is because i want to get better and the things I'm not good at. Im good at drawing, or so i like to believe, but I'm not good and computer drawing and I'm willing to get better.

My Personal logo

I knew that i wanted to construct my logo with my love for traveling. I incorporated famous world monuments and tried to fit that in to look like Tapia. It went really well in the drawing part but when it came to doing it on illustrator it went bad. I tried really hard to make it look good. In the end it wasn't working out.

So then i had decide to draw something more simple and it was a mountain with a capital T in the middle. When i drew it on illustrator it wasn't the best. Iv would have liked to make the mountain curvy like it the in my picture but i couldn't figure out how. Scene i was really tired of illustrator not working out for me i just kept it as is and moved on.

The meaning behind my drawing mostly has to do with traveling but now that i realize it it can be thought as for other things. At the top of the mountain there is a yellow blotch and the mountain is blue. I believe a mountain is the closest thing to being in the sky but also on the ground the same time. So the yellow represents stars in the sky or the sun and the blue represents the ocean. I made the T kind of like a greenish color to represent land. Basically my inspiration for my mountain is "the sky is the limit".

My personality type

My personality type is ESFJ. This means that i like to work with others and like helping out in my community. It also means that i am a loyal person an keep my word. I like to help people in need and not just by giving food or clothes but also if they need a friend or need a bit of cheering up. These people also get things turn in on due dates and get things done. Another thing is that they keep there friends and family on there top priority. A famous person who has the same personality as me is Alyson Hannigan, this surprised me because she is one of the main characters in how i met your mother and i  absolutely love that show. Other people are Anne Hathaway, the pope, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Alicia Keys. One of my favorite are Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and last but not least Victoria Beckham.

I think that this describes me accurately. I really do like to help others in need and every chance i get i do my best to help and supply those in need. I also think that i am a very loyal person. I've never have betrayed anyone and i always keep my promises. Im a person of my word. I also do keep my friends and family on top. Any free time i have i tend to enjoy it with my friends and family and personally i feel like i can't let them down. Although this test was pretty accurate there was one thing that wasn't. I tend not to get things turned in one time and I'm not as organized as the charts said, but i do have to say that i am working on those things. Now that i know al of this it does help me understand more who i am and why i do things that i do. When i came to deciding what i wanted to do for my future i decide i didn't want to do anything that didn't have to do with kids. Both of my parents are are organized than me and they also do keep friends and family on top. Although they do that they don't volunteer as much. They do give money to those in need but I've never experience them helping out in organizations like the Johnson county christmas burial, but they are great people.

I think that with my personality i don't really just focus in my own idea. I like to include other peoples idea and not be stubborn. I think that if i didn't get the position in a group that had my needs i wouldn't maybe work as hard and not communicate as much. If i was i would be more than glad to help out others that need help on a project.

I think the people that i struggle with are stubborn people. I guess i also struggle with people who are so self centered. This is partially because I'm a person who likes to help others. Although I feel like I'm not self centered i do feel like i am an independent woman and being independent you have do love yourself and who you are and i do. But being independent is way different that from showing off something you have.

my week using illustrator 

For my first time using illustrator we had a made a design of a certain object. I had decide to do a cake, kinda if like you were at a birthday party. In my picture i had use the shape tool to make the cake and the table but the rest were used be the pencil tool. Personally i didn't like it just because I'm use to drawing on paper and when it comes to drawing it has to be somewhat perfect or else i get irritated by the way it looks. So i wasn't a big fan of it.

In another project we had to create a character or logo. For this one i struggled a lot. I have never been that good at drawing people, and trying to achieve that on a computer is even harder. for me i didn't like the way it looked, to me it looked more like a kid had drawn it.

We then learn about the shaper tool. It was i guess easier but i feel like using the shopper tool made me not like my project about the characters. I think illustrator is really cool if you know how to use it.  I feel like i can really improve yourself in the art industries just cause you not only know how to draw on paper but also on the computer. Again like i said i wasn't a big fan of it and for this reason i think its because I still don't know as much. I think that i set too high of standers for myself causing me not to try as hard.

What is Graphic design? My Experience.

For this project i decided to go for a Harry Potter theme. In my sketch i didn't necesarly use logos, or at least i wouldn't call them logos. i think of it as things most Harry Potter fans should know.  I did use typography such as the H and he S. the H stars for Hogwarts and the S stands for slitherin. I did use lots of color in this. For example in the lettering i use the four colors of the so called hoses as well for the scarfs. the all mean either Gryfinndor, Slitherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

I think one thing i did good was texture. for one example the hat. I made it look vintage and old. I also showed the scarfs having a bit of texture but it mostly has to do with the lighting and what areas are darker. i also think i did well in color as i already explained.

What i liked about this is that its something i really enjoyed. At first i was kind of scared about how it was going to turn out because it had been a while since I've drawn, but I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I also enjoyed that i got to make it look however i wanted it to.

Web Design Reflection 

1a. The process started out with us taking a picture first, and i can't really say much cause i didn't finish

1b. It was a pretty long process but i think thats because of the video s we watched. I tried to use my time wise in class

1c. The only challenged i faced was that videos were to long and boring and that made me more tired

1d. I learned about dreamweaver

1e. My overall opinion is that its boring, and kind of lame

1f.  i don't have any because i didn't finish.

e9 Quarter 2 Reflection

1. I think that this semester I've done really good in e-Com. i haven't struggled with anything yet so thats good. I like animation but for me the process was really slow and just took to long. I also like video a lot. It was exciting and fun and not slow.

2. The thing i need to improve more is probably my video editing, and that it doesn't look so choppy. besides that i don't know

3. What I love most about this semester is video. Mostly because we get to go out in the hall ways, or where ever, and just do things we couldn't do if we weren't in e-Com. Also the Mr.Copper, he was pretty cool

4. I can't really think of anything that i would change. Maybe not being gone a lot so i would be able to finish my projects.

5. This semester was a really fun experience. I learned so much than before. I learned about editing and stuff like that.

6. My goal for next semester is to do good in web because I've been good with the other two.

6 Shots Rule

          Last Friday we were aloud to go around the school and take pictures of the 6 shot rule. The 6 shot rule is the diffrent views in witch you exaggerate what you're doing. There are extreme close up, close up, medium, wide, extreme wide, and over the shoulder. They can tell how you feel, or where you are at.

Social Media Reflection 

          Social media, everyone uses it. Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, ext. those are all examples of social media. It can be used  positively and negatively, but there always comes a time when you regret posting something. Then once you think you deleted it, well your wrong. Once something goes on the internet it will never leave. 

          In the internet world there are people out there taking screenshoting your post. These people are call stalkers. Or it can be somebody seeking revenge on you. Anybody can be able to find what you post even if deleted 

          when having a social media you want to keep it clean. If not then that can affect you in the long run. For example when you apply for a job they will do as much research as they can. Something i would do to keep it clean would be to make sure its appropriate. All of my social medias' are all clean. Thats cause the things i share are mostly about family of friends. Not keeping it clean can get you in lots of trouble. You can lose friends, get in trouble with the school if somebody snitched or prevent you from getting the job of your dreams.  

          It can also affect you getting into college. They also check for anything bad you posting. Just like if you were applying for a job, It the same process. social media can have a huge negative affect in life. 

Elevator Pitch

      My name is Isis Tapia. I am in e-Communication at ONW. My friends usually complement me on my humor or how adventures i am. One of the best complements I've had would have to be telling me how funny i am. Or i love it when people say that they can't breath and there crying from laughter. My strengths are being funny and making people laugh i guess. my goal is most likely to be in entertainment or the travel the world.

Animated House

About 3D modeling 

     Working on our 3D house was the funnest thing we did in animation in my opinion. The most difficult thing about it was the roof. This is because roofs that are more complex can be harder to assemble. It can end up turning into a weird geometric shape and the roof can either cave in or care out in a messed up form. We learned about making doors and windows. Using the color tool we were capable of adding in textures. For example we had added texture to the roof, the outside wall, the drive way, the windows, the grass, and the rocks. We also learned how to add in depth like for the widows. It gives it a pop up affect. Another thing we learned is how to do a porch and stairs. We had the addvantage to add in features like the bushes in front of my house. The door knob was another difficult thing to do. Its was really confusing that instead of adding a 3D sphere i just drew in a circle on the door. 

My 10 strengths

My 10 Strengths 

How i did it

   This project was something new to al of us. This time we were using video timeline instead of anomation timeline. We made layers like we always do to create the background and to have sprerate slides for the words. We then used video timeline to make the actual video. We had to edit the way the words come into the video using key frames and opacity to assemble that.

What i learn
   I learn how to edit words. As to make it appear that its sliding in for examples. I also learned how to use key frames and opacity. I had to make a key frame in the begging to were i wanted the word to start or pop out. Then i made another key frame to make it were the ending is. Opacity is how clear or strong you want the color to show up. Another thing is how to use video timeline and how to make it appear to look good.

What i would change
   I would change the color of the words. If it wasn't without the brightness and control being changed it would be to list for the background. Another thing i would change would be some of the words. In the end i was just naming random words because i couldn't really think of any words.

This is my video and how it turned out.

Summary
  The first thing we did was set up the background including the sky, ground, and a gradient with that. After we had to draw on arcs on the background as a stencel so we know were to place our figure.  We then placed our figure in on the arch creating a life like animation. In the end we decided to have a bit of a gradient at the begging.

What learned about photoshop and animation 
  I learned that in order to make an animation look life like you have to include arcs. It can either be the figure going up and down or down to up. The main thing it has to have to make it look realistic is for the figure to have a curve. Without a curve it simply looks like a robot and or mechanical.

What i would do differently 
  Something i would do differently would be to make more frames. The reason is that in the end it looks really choppy. I realized that in the end i didn't use as much frame making it look a little mechanical. Another thing i would do differently would be to make a gradient on my animation This is because it looks to plane and doesn't have anything going on.

Bouncing ball Animation 

   

The Process

  Animation is a new thing for all of us and at first was sort of confusing. We had to make separate layers to be able to make the ground, the sky and the many layers for the ball.  We made a gradient for the ball and was optional to make a gradient for the ground and the sky. We had to make at least 8 layers just for the ball to be able to get the affect of the ball bouncing. Then we had to make frames to be able to play the animation and have it set to play forever.

What we learned

  We learned that to make a proper animation we have to have layers. Also that we have to shape the ball to have the effect of it bouncing, meaning that you would have to stretch it and squish it. I learned that to make the animation move we have to have the setting on timeline and make frames. 

What i would do differently

  Something i would do differently would be to change the color of the ball. i feel like the ball color kind of blends into the grass and sky. I would also add clouds because my background looks plane and all i have is a gradient on ground and not the sky. I would make my layers closer together because my animation is really slow and you can see how it slows down at the end.

sidewalk chalk experience

Are experience with the sidewalk chalk was cool. In the begging we were all quite and didn't want to make an effort to talk in front of a small group, but as we went on we got a little used to each other. it was kind of difficult to come up with a flag because there were still some people not wiling to talk. So the first thing we did we was talk about our colors that represent us. Most of us either chose blue or orange, we decided to make those to colors are main ones. we felt that we needed another color to even things out so we added some white. The next day we had to come up with a symbol. that was probably the hardest for us because we wanted just one symbol, but there was five different people in the group. In the end we decided on drawing a sun in the middle to represent that we all are bight in some way. We also added the ocean or waves to symbolize how different we are and how we handle life. In the sun peadles we decided to put our own symbol with our names under it. Once we were outside we had chosen make the strips diagonally. The main line was white and we sort of messed up a little by having the wrong amount of stripes on each side, but we just added two other white strips.

adding our personal symbol to the sun pedals.
