1. What did you learn? In this project I learned how to make my own specific movie and create a motion within the video.
2. What was easy? The easiest part for me was taking the clips that make up the different portions of the video.

4. How could your submission be improved? My submission could be improved by using more effects and text styles.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? The only thing that I would say to improve this project is to show the students how to make and edit the video while following along.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I can apply this into future scenarios by being more creative and versatile with film making.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? A specific point in the class that helped me was following along with the lecture and demonstration to guide my video along.

1. What did you learn? I learned a new skill of creating my own game through technology.
2. What was easy? The portion of this project that I found easy was being able to create the maze path for my game.
3. What was challenging? The one thing that I found challenging in this project was using the terrain to create and place mountains down on my game.

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? My professor could improve the assignment by working at a slower pace for students to know exactly what they need to do and follow along.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I can apply this knowledge from this assignment to future scenarios when I learned how to become more creative with designing.

1. What did you learn? This was my first experience with Figma, so I learned how to use that site, and create a website for myself.
2. What was easy? Yes, I would say that using Figma was easy considering it was my first time and creating the website wasn’t hard at all.
3. What was challenging? I would say creating the logo was the most challenging, because we needed the letters to some how connect and interlock in some ways.
4. How could your submission be improved? My submission could have been improved by using more personal pictures rather than general google images to express myself more through my website.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? The professor could have improved the assignment by explaining how to add icons to the site, such as the phone icon or Instagram icon.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I will apply my knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios by becoming more creative and designing different content involving myself and information about me.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? The video helped me know how to adjust the length of the header or footer to make my website look more in frame.

What did you learn? I learned how to input new layers in photoshop and how to use the outer glow tool behind my wording.
2. What was easy? I found it easy when I needed to add text and change the color of my text.
3. What was challenging? The parts of this project that were challenging was when I needed to select specific potions of a picture to insert in my card. Overall learning Adobe Photoshop was a challenge to learn.
4. How could your submission be improved? In my project, I could have added a background to the right side of my inside page, I left it white and I think it would of looked better with a colored background.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class? I think that my professor could have helped by slowing down just a little and pausing between steps for all of us to catch up and understand the task.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? For my future assignments, I think that I might apply my knowledge of creating a forefront image and focal point to a specific assignment when needed.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? When I watched the videos and instructions on how to perform a task and complete an assignment I found it helpful as a guide for me to follow along.
