Sidewalk Chalk Experience

Our group (in the back) sketching out ideas
  The sidewalk chalk experience was a great time. We got to work with other people and combine our ideas to create an interesting work of art. I worked with Drew and Blake. Our group was a little quiet but we all got our ideas through.  Everyone did a great job at participating and supporting each other's art work. In our next team activity I will try to prepare myself more so my work is more thought out.
Our...interesting piece of art
   
   We chose our symbols individually. We chose the raven to symbolize Olathe Northwest  and we chose the color blue because that's it's original color. I chose a bear since it symbolizes strength. Drew chose a unicorn and Blake chose a camera since he wants to be a film maker. The stick figure was to fill up an empty space but I feel it represents the more humorous side of us.We colored our symbols so they looked accurate.

Color Wheel

Image
  For this project we had to recreate a color wheel. We included the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors. The Primary colors Yellow, Blue, and Red, make up all the other colors. Secondary colors are made up of the Primary colors and when you mix those two you get Tertiary colors. Of course there are thousands of shades, tints, and colors but these are just the basics.   We learned how to create shapes and text on Adobe Illustrator. Since we have worked with Photoshop before, we learned the similarities and differences between the two. If I were to do this project again I would try to be more creative with the colors and shapes. We learned how to work with some of the simple tools and how to create simple shapes and text boxes. I really enjoyed working with Illustrator and look forward to using it in the future.

Anatomy of Typeface

Image
   For this project we typed our name in Adobe Illustrator and made a diagram of the anatomy of typeface. I created red lines to represent the Baseline, X-height, and Caps height. I followed the instructions from a video provided by our teacher. I chose the colors red and blue because I felt the colors contrasted each other very well. We were instructed to point out at least thirteen parts of the anatomy including the Baseline and both X and Caps height.    We also learned about the importance of typeface. Typeface/font can have a huge influence un adds and flyers, it can really determine whether the public will take you seriously or not. Some fonts are known for their 'unprofessional' look, such as Comic Sans. Sans is french for 'without' which is usually used to state that a font does not have a serif. A serif is like a little tab that sticks out the of the end of a letter. Fonts with a serif include Times New Roman and Georgia. Fonts without a serif usually...

Careers

  Career Cruising is a website designed to help students decide and plan their future. Students take quizzes that give them examples of what careers might interest them. The website then gives them information on those careers like the earnings, what type of degree is needed, and the attributes/abilities needed for the job. I took some of the quizzes and the five results that interested me and related to E-communications most were Director, Director of Photography, Photojournalist, Multimedia Developer, and an Animator. A Director of Photography is in charge of creating an alternate world for a film or TV production. Photojournalists focus on capturing photography worthy of being in magazines or in the news. A Multimedia Developer works to create websites, apps, and games. Animators draw a series of images to create a film or cartoon.  A Director turns a script into a film, tv show, or play. Some popular directors are Steven Spielberg, Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino, ...
