       The second project we did in animation was make 3 bouncing ball animations. We started out by learning how to create and animate a ball bouncing vertically. Once we learned that we got into the process of learning how to make the ball bounce in arcs. We also had to know that the more balls there are in an arc the longer it takes for the ball to bounce and the less amount of balls in the arc the faster it goes. For this project we used Adobe Photoshop, everything we did was new to me because I've never animated before. I would have liked to have gotten it quicker so I could have had more time to do the animation. 

Our final semester project was making our own website on Adobe Dream Weaver. To make it we had step by step video instructions to follow. It was somewhat challenging for me because I have never used Dream Weaver before. During the process I got to know how Dream Weaver worked. Making a website is very challenging and has a lot of steps to it. It was challenging and new which is good but I didn't really like it. I learned that you need to have a basic understanding of code. For a first timer I think I did pretty well although there where parts where I gave up and stuck to the second best. Next time I do this I will try to be more observant and learn more on the whys and hows of it.

On a piece of paper I started off with drawing my name in multiple fonts to see how I would position my initials. When I finally decided on a design I started drawing shapes around it until I came upon something I liked. After I decided on three ideas I liked, I went onto Adobe Ilustrator and messed around with the shapes and style working around the first ideas I came up with. After that I added color and chose the one I liked the most.

Contrast- The yellow on the green makes it stand out and reel in your attention. Alignment- I lined things up along the edges to keep it clean. I made sure the sentences and words had correct spacing. Repetition- I used the same 2 colors. Proximity- I grouped the important things together.

This project was about typography. We had to label the serifs to show what we learned. I learned that there are serif type fonts. On adobe illustrator I pretty much just enforced the things I already knew. I think I did pretty well on this project. next time I could probably make the text bigger. 

This Logo uses the analogous colors of green, blue-green and blue. I think the company used it to show they are enviormentally friendly. This logo uses the analogous colors of red, orange and yellow. I think the company chose these colors to show they are colorful with their juices. This logo uses the complementary colors of red and blue. I think the company chose these colors because their drink is orange. This logo uses the complementary colors of red and green. I think the company chose these colors because they want show their food is healthy. This company chose the triad colors of red, yellow and blue. I think they did this to make their logo pop. This company chose the triad colors of yellow, red and purple. I think it chose those colors because purple signifies royalty and yellow signifies happiness. This company chose the monochromatic colors of brown. I think they chose these colors because their product is root beer and it...

This project was to give us, the uncultured generation, a new perspective on colors. What are colors, you may ask yourself, they are the "  property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light." With this new valuable information you can now start your journey of understanding color wheels. For this project we had to create our own color wheel. I learned a lot of techniques to use on Adobe Illustrator and how colors have their own unique meanings. I learned which colors where the primary, secondary and tertiary. The most important thing was learning how to use AI since I have never used it before.  For my color wheel I think I did pretty well. Next time i would probably fiddle around more with Ai and see what different techniques i could have used.
