Logo Design Project - "RubyFrame"

This project allowed us to do a whole logo design process. My finished logo consists of two different colored rectangles (blue and red) with white bubble text with a black stroke around it. This is what it looks like...

Process

When I first sketched this design, I thought this was too easy, not that making a logo is easy, but the design was just too easy. I concluded that logos are in fact supposed to be simple and therefore should not be so very complicated as I have seen so many other times. Logos should be easy to recognize and even so simple that a person could look at it for a few seconds, then draw that same logo again with almost every single detail. Of course, I did think of originality. It's important that logos are supposed to not be similar to others that customers could get confused by.

Choosing Shape, Font, and Colors

Rectangles add a slightly modern touch to the design, one color is warm and the other is cool so they can contrast very easily. I wanted the font to be big and bold to make it easily able to pop out, I found the best match to "big and bold".

Red Ball Projects

This project was to use Photoshop to make frame by frame animations with a red ball bouncing. To get used to the software, we just did one bounce in place. For the next one, we did a few bounces in an arch shape. We learned how to use several principals of animation in our projects such as staging by creating a grass-like environment and a realistic red ball, we used exaggeration by bringing emphasis when the ball hits the ground, and we used ease in and ease out in our last version with the ball leaving the scene in any way we wanted it to. Process It's a very simple project, and what's good is that we can do almost anything with cell animations using Photoshop. You have to be extremely aware of everything that's happening when making these type of animations, that I believe is something I'll get from experience and later be able to develop more complex animations along the way. How I Think It Is I definitely think my animation is more...

SketchUp House

The project was to use a real house plan and use SketchUp to create the house. Original House Plan: https://goo.gl/Ti4trZ What I Learned I've never used SketchUp before, however, I have used Roblox Studio which surprisingly is very similar. They each have the same tools and you are able to create anything. The difference with SketchUp is that it involves a lot more thinking. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to move something... so many steps. These are the textures I took from the internet:

Web Final Project

This project's goal was to create a website displaying our self promotional elevator pitch as well as two of our favorite projects. We followed several videos step by step, listening to 8 videos from Mr. Olson. What I Learned / How I Did I learned the basics of Adobe Dreamweaver from the many videos, I also learned how to utilize the different headings and subheadings which I can use on many different softwares other than Dreamweaver. I believe my website is up to par with what is expected, maybe even more then what is expected.
