]]> This project was surprisingly easier than I thought that it was going to be. I have had a few video projects for school before in my life, but they were more specific about what they wanted. This prompt allowed for more freedom and choice in the execution, which is something that I really enjoyed. I like how my overall video and music turned out. However, I did not like that all of my videos turned out shakey no mater what I did. The Warp Stabilizer Effect couldn’t even help some of the clips because they were so bad. In order to improve this in the future I will try to borrow a tripod or look up ways to stabilize your shots better. I got the inspiration for my video after a bit of back and forth on what emotion I wanted to portray. In the end I decided that it was easy to do something like anger or sadness with a bunch of building and nature shots and some sad piano in the background. So I decided to challenge myself a little more and I chose Joy instead.

]]> This process was very frustrating because the software reminded me of animation software, which I despise. That being said, I enjoyed painting the landscape and testing the game. I learned that although it is frustrating to lose all of your progress, it can be a good learning experience to redo all of the work that you lost. I also learned how and when to come into the lab when we don’t have class, which is something that I will most likely be doing a lot in the future. I liked how my landscape came out in both shapes and colors; however, I could improve on the water by making it look and act more realistic. I got the inspiration for my coloring of the landscape from Candyland and things similar to that game. I got the idea for the color of the lighting from a particularly beautiful sunset that happened last week.

]]> Through this project I learned that coding, although it is a pain, can be very rewarding. I also learned that coding is not something that you can just naturally be good at, but rather it is something that you have to work at. I think that coding is very frustrating and difficult at times. I chose to add a picture slideshow to my website, which was a lot more work than I thought that it would be. It got to a point where I had to ask Tyler for help, which is something that I don’t do often. I could improve this website by designing a separate mobile version and/or adding more graphic elements. I would suggest possibly allowing students to do their own project from scratch so that they know what each element does and how they can change it. There were several times that I wanted to change something but did not want to mess with the overall layout of the website. Having students start with nothing would allow for more creativity in their websites. Going forward I will experiment more with color and layout and learn how to ask for help when I need it. I got the idea for the slideshow when I thought about adding more pictures to my site and adding an interesting, different element. Also, I got the idea for the color scheme from the website that Professor Dunkle showed us called “Coolors”. I have included here screenshots for every part of my website as well as a link to it.

Through this project I learned that layer masks are a lot more useful and helpful than I previously thought. I thought that making the card was easy because I have experience in Photoshop already. The printing and mounting process was challenging for me because the printer gave me some trouble and I am AWFUL at cutting straight lines. My hard copy could be better because there is some white showing on the front cover. Also, I could have added more graphic elements to make the card more interesting. I would suggest possibly doing the project in Illustrator instead of Photoshop (or possibly using both). I understand why we did the project in Photoshop and I will admit that I am partial to Illustrator in general. Going forward I will give myself more time to go through the printing process and I will work on getting better at the Photoshop pen tool. I got the whole concept from looking at dogs in Halloween costumes on Google while I was procrastinating on homework from my other classes. Also, during one of the demonstrations in class, Professor Dunkle talked about what makes a good background, which caused me to change from the busy background that I previously had. This was a huge improvement and really brought the card together.
