The easiest part of this project was piecing together the final video. It was very easy to import all of our pieces that were from different platforms onto one. Also, it was easy to film and put together using Cap Cut which is an iPhone app. The hardest part of this project was the creation of it. I struggled with soundtrap a little bit because I didn’t know what kind of song to create and after I finished my song, I had a hard time thinking of what video could go along with it.

My submission could be improved with having my video be a little bit longer and Professor Dunkle could make this project better by having more class examples to look at. He did post about five of them but, we were only allowed to view two because we needed permission and those two were very similar.

I might apply my knowledge I learned during this project in the future by now having experience with more Adobe platforms. I think having knowledge about After Effects could become useful to me within the marketing world.

For me, learning how to use Unreal wasn’t too difficult. By day two with this project, I was able to understand all of the keys and the logistics of Unreal. The most challenging part of this project was thinking of what ‘game’ to create. Also, it was difficult to upload my texture that I created and was unable to use it.

My submission could be improved by spending more time on decorating and trying to make my game more unique. I think Professor Dunkle did a great job with teaching us how to use Unreal and how to upload our projects. I don’t think there is anything I would suggest that could be improved because we also had a good amount of class time to work on this project.

I will apply my knowledge from this project in the future because I definitely think it’s good to know how to use Unreal for any future job/assignment.

The challenging part of this lab was the spot healing because of the photo I chose to use for this lab. I wanted to use pearls and the spot healing was a little tricky because of the shapes of the individual pearls.

My submission could be improved by using a different texture. Maybe one without definite shapes would help.

I don’t think there is anything I would change about this lab. I really enjoys choosing my own texture and doing it as a class.

This lab will give me the opportunity in the future with creating textures on social media or backgrounds for local companies.

For me, I found that forming the shape of the chess piece was a little challenging. I re-did it about 3 times because it just did not look like a chess piece.

My submission could be improved by fixing the outline of my chess piece as well as taking more time in discovering and becoming more comfortable with the colors/textures that Maya provides.

I think the assignment could be improved for next class was spending a little more time in the development of the design that will form the chess piece. Maya definitely takes practice with using the tools and if we had a little more time focused on the design, it could’ve definitely helped my submission.

I would imply my knowledge I learned from this lab in my future with the possibility of creating 3D logos/images. I would like to work in sports marketing with a professional sports team and I think being able to create a 3D image could boost social media.

I found Figma to be very easy to navigate and quickly pick up how to use the tools. I don’t think this project was challenging because it will be useful to me later in life.

The most challenging part of this project for me was creating my logo. With my initials being LR, I did have some difficulty trying to decide how to blend them together. But my final logo I ended up liking very much because I was able to use the three colors that I used in my website design.

My submission could be improved by choosing a better photo for my home page. I ended up using a baby picture because I don’t really have any professional photos of me just yet. I also don’t have any recent photos of just myself and I thought it would be fun to use a baby photo.

I don’t think anything needed to be improved for the next class. We were given a lot of class time to work incase we had any questions. I also was able to use this platform on my laptop at home so I didn’t need to go to the lab on non-class days.

I will apply my knowledge in the future especially when I am trying to create my own business cards, which is what we did as Lab 4. Figma had a create format for it and again, it was very easy to design and use.

The website I used most was Color Codes (https://colorcodes.io/). This website helped me find the right colors I wanted to use in my website design and gave me the hex codes to copy into Figma. Also, they showed similar colors and palettes that went well with my starting color of sage green.

I really enjoyed this assignment. There is nothing I feel like would need to be improved other than the possibility of printing on card stock. We tried but the printer wasn’t able to process the thick paper. The cards still turned out very well, but thicker paper would have been nice. I am planning on using the beginning steps of starting a project in the future, as well as the possibility of continuing my work with photoshop if my job requires it.
