Genius Hour

This project is the science project that my partner and I are sharing outside the classroom. Our guiding question was how can we create a protein bar for athletes to eat before or after a workout to help improve performance?

Professional Project Review

Image
Summary The project I found is a collection of character animations, inspired by outer space, that express emotions. They were made for a google app and loop forever without any noticeable start or stop. There is an image of one of the characters but for the full post click here . Review  Each character icon tells a short individual story. The icon for encouragement is two characters the sun and the earth. The sun nods and pats the earth on the head which makes it smile wider. Another small story is told in the confused icon which is a spaceship looking around. When it can't find anything it shrugs its shoulders then goes back to looking around. One element of these projects that I would apply to my own work is how the characters are constantly moving such as blinking, nodding, or bouncing which gives them a more realistic feel because people are never still. An element that I have already learned that is applied to this project is how to loop a video so it plays ...

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 Plausible Impossible

Image
Summary  The plausible impossible is where an event that would be impossible in real life is made to see plausible in the animated story. Walt Disney made a documentary over this topic showing lots of examples of the plausible impossible. Here are some of them. Examples  While Donald duck is eating the doorbell rings. In real life a doorbell ringing would not cause your head to shake because it is just a sound. However in the animated world this is plausible because a doorbell can surprise a person and make them jump. Also the sound of the doorbell mirror the way Donalds' head moves. When Gus Goose shakes Donald Ducks had it shakes him up and down. This is impossible because someone can not lift another person up and down just by shaking their hand, gravity won't allow it. This is made plausible by the fact that some peoples hand shakes are very hard and can make you feel like you are shaking. Also Gus Goose is winds up for the hand shake to add momentum. He is als...
