chu1 – Jody Chu’s DMA Blog ../../../../chu1 Wed, 17 May 2023 12:30:17 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.4 Project 4 Reflection ../../../2023/05/17/project-4-reflection/ Wed, 17 May 2023 12:30:16 +0000 https://comdma.com/chu1/?p=26 Read more]]> 1. What did you learn? I learned how to use Premiere Pro and make music from scratch.

2. What was easy? Importing the videos and everything into the video editor was easy. I understood how to use the software pretty quickly.

3. What was challenging? Making the soundtrack was very hard. It was difficult to get loops that sounded good together. Getting the footage (because I was shy to record people) and arranging the clips into an enjoyable order.

4. How could your submission be improved? I could have added more transitions and ended the video a bit more smoothly.

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? Perhaps go more into music theory and how to make good sounding music.

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I could start content creating for myself or for work scenarios.

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? I think teaching how to cut the video helped me the most.

8. Show some images of your work in .jpg or .png format. Include sketches, work in progress, and final images.

Project 3 Reflection ../../../2023/05/17/project-3-reflection/ Wed, 17 May 2023 12:22:13 +0000 https://comdma.com/chu1/?p=24 Read more]]> 1. What did you learn? I learned how to use Maya and import to Unreal. I also learned how to change the texture nodes around in Unreal.

2. What was easy? Designing the game with all the objects imported was easy.

3. What was challenging? The most challenging part was figuring out how to make the 3D models in Maya and how to use them in the game.

4. How could your submission be improved? My submission could be improved by adding more objects to my whole game and making the objects I imported a bit more interactive.

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? At least for me, I needed more direction on what kind of game I should make. Figuring out what game I could make with the random 3D shapes I made from Bezier curves were hard. Also, just learning how to make 3D shapes that don’t just use the Bezier curve.

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I think this was a great problem solving project. I ran into so many problems in this project but it taught me to really keep pushing.

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? I had to search up many videos or readings on how to important my objects from NURBS and objects and all that whatnot.

8. Show some images of your work in .jpg or .png format. Include sketches, work in progress, and final images.

Project 2 Reflection ../../../2023/05/17/project-2-reflection/ Wed, 17 May 2023 12:08:32 +0000 https://comdma.com/chu1/?p=18 Read more]]> 1. What did you learn? I learned how to make vectors and how to create a website from scratch, not using any templates. For example, wix.com uses templates but with Figma, I had to create everything on my own.

2. What was easy? The surface design, for example, the layout of the links, or the font I chose and how I arranged the information.

3. What was challenging? The most challenging part was gathering information to put on the website.

4. How could your submission be improved? I think I could have added a “HOME” button to the top part of the website. I also wish I made the message part work and not just there for design purposes.

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? I wish we could learn how to put a video on our website. I think that would be a cool idea.

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I think knowing how to create a website and having experience in graphic designing to create your own logo would be incredibly useful for making a portfolio website.

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? The little tip on graying out the top buttons “RESUME”, “PORTFOLIO”, and “CONTACT”, were really nice touches.

8. Show some images of your work in .jpg or .png format. Include sketches, work in progress, and final images.

Project 1 Reflection ../../../2023/02/14/project-1-reflection/ Tue, 14 Feb 2023 22:53:06 +0000 https://comdma.com/chu1/?p=10
  • What did you learn? I learned many things like shortcuts and removing backgrounds from images.
  • What was easy? It was easy finding different typographies to use.
  • What was challenging? I think it was pretty challenging to envision what I wanted to do with my card. I also would get sucked into trying to perfect the removal of a background.
  • How could your submission be improved? The back of my card is a bit plain. I could have added more to the back.
  • How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? I feel like I didn’t really learn much about blending options or overlays. I would like to learn more about that and apply that knowledge towards the assignment.
  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I think Photoshop is a great skill to have since not many ordinary people know how to use it. It would be helpful if I ever have to make flyers for clubs or schoolwork.
  • How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? The video on removing backgrounds was incredibly helpful. It makes the pictures look better on the card.
