Semester Reflection

Image
This semester I have learned a lot about graphic design. I have improved technical skills as well as my understanding of the concepts and rule of design. Name Typography The first project we did this year was a typography project where we took a characteristic of ourselves or something you liked and made your name represent that. This project lasted about three weeks. First we made a list of words or phrases that we wanted to use. Then we made three or four sketches for each. We then took the sketches into the computer and designed them. Next we critiqued our work and redesigned. During critiques I learned that I was the fonts I was using were too similar. One challenged I faced we trying to make all my designs unique and represent what I wanted without using graphics. Both the feedback and the challenges made me modify my work by removing excess graphics and finding more unique fonts. During this project I learned that typography is about putting meaning into the design of the...

The Six Shot System

Image
The six shot system is a way to shoot photos so the viewer can easily understand what is going on in the pictures. It has six simple photos that you can take to provide an accurate depiction of the person, or subject, what they are doing, and how they feel about it.  The first shot is a close up of the hands.

It ties together what the subject is doing and what they are feeling.  You sho...

e9 Promotional Video

Image
This is a promotional video that I made for the first year of e-Communications, e9. First we got with our partner, decided what shots we wanted to do, and looked at other previous e-Communications promotion videos for inspiration. Next, we went around to all the other e9  rooms and filmed the shots we planed. Then, we recorded our voice overs from a script and edited all the film and put it together with music and the voice over to create the final project. I learned how to do a voice over in Final Cut Pro. I learned that sometimes as a partner you need to take initiative if the other person isn't doing their part. Also, that people have different views on what is important to the project. If I got to do this project again I would asked to turn on the lights in one of the rooms so the shots would be brighter and I would get a larger variety of shots. I would keep the music and some of the shots the same. For instance I like the first shot and the chase scene shots. I will draw f...
