Lab#11 GIF

For Lab 11 I had to create a timeline video in other words I learned how to create GIF document. Using the pentagon shape I first added a background color and then I included my shape.But not before rasterizing my layer. After that I started marking diamonds and changing position and style.  It was fun experiencing with new tools because that way we get ready for later on projects and will  help us on our future and also make us better designers using our creativity.

CTE Expo

The CTE Expo was done yesterday  Thursday february the 12th at the web design computer lab in room 237. The CTE program was all done for freshman students so that we could encourage them to join this academy and during the process show them our projects, and talk to them about all the activities done since the beginning. Also we had to tell them all the possible credits that they could get joining the academy including how they would get benefited from it.

We did it as we saw this students coming in, they got a paper with all the information of the academy on it and we then were calling them to our project and explained them what this all thing was about. The results from this gallery or walk were successful due to the fact that freshman students looked excited viewing our work and the opportunity to express our creativity in here not just for fun, but also to learn new things. Also because many of them as I could relate would want to compete for a spot out of three hundred students, so many of them would want to prove and take as a challenge the fact that they believe in themselves and would do the right thing to get into the academy. So it is a challenge worth taking.

project process

To do my project I first created a draft of my written work including what my project contained, how I did my logo using photoshop, how I did my business card using InDesign and also how difficult it was to come up with the final work. Following this process helped me be more efficient by using the draft to correct my mistakes and avoiding any wrong answers or even grammar errors. I could have improve my project by generally completing it and presenting it on a board as it was being asked.

reflection journal fall term

In my opinion I did average, to be honest I could have done a better job to improve my grades and hand my work in on time, also I could have come in on after school or at any opportunity offered to me by my teacher to make up missing assignments. During the fall term I learned basic skills on photoshop including the design of a logo and using InDesign to create a business card. What was particularly fun or enjoyable were many labs including the bubble head, the Andy Warhol's  portrait because I think it is a good opportunity for many of us to share our talent and to show our teacher that we do pay attention in class. And what was particularly a challenge for me were certain labs specially when we were missing even one step it could fix everything. This term I could improve by completing all my work and basically working using my time wisely. Everything I experienced is vital because what I've learned are basic skills that I might be using throughout my life or even help me on my career.
