  • What did you learn?
  • I had done this class before, but honestly was fuzzy on Photoshop tools in general 
  • I had never made a card before, so learning about that was very interesting 
  • I had also never used the leveling tool before 

  • 2. What was easy?

    • I don’t know if easy is the word I would use, the step by step instructions were amazing and made everything a lot more clear 


    3. What was challenging?

    • I think challenging is a good word, because it wasn’t extremely hard to the point where I was confused but it also was no walk in the park either! 


    4. How could your submission be improved?

    • I think if I would’ve gotten my hands on a printer with color, that would’ve been cool. I emphasized the color red a lot because it was supposed to be Valentine’s Day themed, and I always think red! 


    5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

    • Since, I wasn’t directly in the class I think the printing part of this project is kind of confusing. I really liked this project and the idea of a card, but personally the printing process was a little strenuous 

    6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

    • Well, now I know how to use photoshop better! Being a communications major, I am going to have to work with graphic designers for ads someday (hopefully)!


    7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?

    • I actually looked up a few Valentines days videos and I have one from an old roommate of mine and her boyfriend- they were in a field of flowers taking pictures and it inspired the front tulips!

    Project 4 ../../../2022/05/13/project-4/ Fri, 13 May 2022 19:34:42 +0000 https://comdma.com/mccart68/?p=15

    1. What did you learn?
    2. I learned that I should not be making short films anytime soon.
    3. Premier was my least favorite app that we used, but I LOVED the idea of this project. 
    4. Learning how to splice videos was really cool and I enjoyed both the labs for this project as well. 
    5. Soundtrap is awesome- learning how to make beats and add onto existing loops was so cool. 
    • What was easy?
    • Definitely not, this one was the most challenging because I think Premier is the most advanced type of application we used. Directions were still great. 


    3. What was challenging?

    • Yes, at times I got extremely frustrated with this project.


    4. How could your submission be improved?

    • The sound portion of my project could have been better. When I first recorded it, I thought it was awesome and fit into a sense of serenity. When I watched the movie back, it was kind of scary sounding! 


    5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

    • I wish we would have done more of the animation part, I thought that was SO cool. 


    6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

    • Creating media is a huge part of the communication field, so I could definitely use some of these tools to help with creating media.
    • Also, I have gotten applications for jobs that want to me to create a video of myself and why I should get a certain position. 


    7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?

    • Less of a video or reading, more of just the feeling of being outside. 
    • I do, however, love the time lapses of flowers blooming- that made me think of the tree in my front yard.

    Project 3 ../../../2022/05/13/project-3/ Fri, 13 May 2022 19:34:06 +0000 https://comdma.com/mccart68/?p=13
  • What did you learn?
  • How to use Maya. 
  • Making the video game land was so awesome.
  • Whenever I think of DMA, I weirdly don’t think of video games- I think of ads and marketing media.

  • 2. What was easy?

    • Similarly, to project 1, I don’t think I would use the term easy because I definitely had questions along the way, but it wasn’t ridiculously hard

    3. What was challenging?

    • Again, like project 1, not incredibly challenging- the walk through was very helpful 
      4. How could your submission be improved?
    • I think I could have spent more time looking at the first-person point of view, I made my paths but never walked them.
      5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
    • I don’t know if I have any suggestions, I really enjoyed this project 
      6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
    • Video game creation never crossed my mind to go into, but I really enjoyed making this little scene and actually seeing what it would look like. 
      7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
    • I used to play the Sims a lot when a was younger, so probably Sims gameplays inspired me the most.

    Project 2 ../../../2022/05/13/project-2/ Fri, 13 May 2022 19:33:28 +0000 https://comdma.com/mccart68/?p=11
  • What did you learn?
  • I learned that I honestly love Figma! I think this was my favorite project that we did all semester. I really enjoyed creating something that I’m passionate about. 
  • I didn’t realize how much work it was to code the websites, like when you click Resume- your website must be able to take you to that page.
    • What was easy?
    • I think this one was easier than project 1 if I’m being honest! I like Figma as a site more than Photoshop as an app.


    3. What was challenging?

    • This project was the easiest to understand (personally) I think it may have been also the fact that Figma was something we spent a lot of time in when I took DMA last semester.


    4. How could your submission be improved?

    • I love my color combination and I worked really hard to try and make it aesthetically pleasing, but I feel like I could have added more to it. 


    5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next 

    class?

    • I thought the directions were clear and concise, this project gets a 100% from me!


    6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

    • Although creating websites was not something I saw myself doing in the future, it helped me realize how much I enjoy doing it. Obviously, you get better as you learn, but I think it would be a really cool job.


    7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?

    • As an avid TikTok watcher, the design was really the thing I wanted to nail and have it describe myself well. I saw someone TikTok with a similar aesthetic and absolutely fell in love.
