The scope of this project was to be able to create transparent text. In order to do this you had to search on the internet to try and find a background image of anything you want it to be, as long as to wasn't straight black which would make you unable to see the texts. You then would go into dreamweaver and mess around with your fonts to change the transparency. The very end result should come out to look like the picture below. The people that would use this for are if they need words/letters behind another set of words/letters or a picture. Next time i will probably select a better image for my project instead of the one i did this time. I did end up end up enjoying this project in the end though and i look forward to do something along the lines of this in the future.
In this wing of ecomm, i was assigned to create the 3D text faces for our earlier animation, later to find out that at the very end of that rotation, those text faces were of no need and all my work was tarnished. I as well helped out with the main lawn mower animation that ryan was originally working on but occasionally needed help so i just started to go to work on that animation with him.
Graphic Design
In Graphic design i chose to work on the coupon for our automatic lawn mower and was also working more on typefaces for our logos words. The coupon was a challenge at first not knowing if i should place our automatic lawn mower on the coupon or just to put our logo on. I eventually decided to put our logo on knowing that it looks a lot better know since shona changed our original logo that i created at the very start of our project.
Video
This rotation on video we all went out to film each other doing different things to enhance our commercial content. After we filmed everything that we needed, then we went back to our groups individually and edited our different videos. The video below is the finished video that i ended up creating by editing all of the different film and audio that we got from our group. After we all finished our final videos, we collaborated and decided who's video we should use for the main project, it came down to shames so we used hers.
Summary
The scope of this project was to create a product that would basically make life easier. We were assigned into different groups and then were given instructions to share our personality types with that group. I was the personality type of a lion, which symbolizes a strong leader. I directed my group to have a final understanding of what our invention was going to be then created a sketch of our invention. We then created an animation about our product, which we then decided would be called the Auto-Mow. I learned along the course of this massive product to always have an open mind and be open to new ideas. I also learned how to be friends with people i don't usually hang out with during school hours. I would do almost everything the same exact way i did it this time because i feel like i did a wonderful job. The only thing i would do differently is that i would've enjoyed to speak up a little more and talk more in our presentation. I am excited and looking forward to the next project because i feel like a can apply many skills i learned from this project to the next.

Our product, the Auto-Mow, is made to save you the trouble of having to go outside in the hot summer sun and having to get your shoes all dirty with grass stains from mowing your lawn, so instead we created a wonderful alternative labeled the Auto-mow. This Product is made so when you mow your lawn once, it automatically programs itself to memorize the lawn that you just mowed using the high definetion camera on the front of the lawn mower. After you mow your lawn only one time and one time only, you will never have to mow your lawn again, instead, the Auto-Mow will do it for you. This advanced technology is very trustworthy and has very little to no technological problems and will allow you to rely on a machine to do your work for you in a matter of one hour, instead of doing it yourself or hiring someone to do it for you.
I learned how to work a lot better in a group by leading others to accomplish a task and also allow other people to help us accomplish a task. I know now not to leave other people out and just completely take over the situation with one other person but instead i will show them what they can do to help contribute to the team and make us stronger.
This helped me understand more about teamwork because now i know that it will not be just me that will be carrying the group that it as well will be other people. I may also give other people a chance if they want to try being a leader for a change instead of maybe being to shy, if that is a problem because they might want to be a leader but do not want to speak up and say anything about it.
This will then affect how i work in a team later on in life by not controlling everybody. By reflecting on past experiences where our team as not done so well the should make our team stronger and more effective in the upcoming future. And hopefully other will do the same by following example and help out their left out teammates.
In this website we created an Invasive species awareness and action page to warn people about all the non native species that are living in kansas. This project was very interesting and fun because we actually got to create a website which was very interesting and challenging but in the end turned out to be super fun. I will definently apply these skills to my next web design project and i am looking forward to it.
The scope of this project was to make a house that you would consider to be parfecthouse for you that you would want to live in. First what we had to do was we had to create the base of our house by just creating a simple block and then we went from there creating a roof,windows,driveway and then components around the house such as my trees and trampoline. I learned how to create many different objects that can help create an overall awesome house. Next time i will create more detailing my house. I would do almost everything else the same because i really enjoyed the outcome of my project. I really liked this experience because it enhanced my creativity and i really enjoyed it along the way.
My chair was very fun and simple to create. First i used some simple shapes (Rectangles,Squares,Circle). Then i just expanded those to make them 3-d which basically then created most of my chair. I thought that sketch up was ok this time but i will probably enjoy it in the future.
