Poster Reflection.

1) My posters message is saying no matter how scared you are you can find courage and face your fears.
2) When I was making this poster I decided it would be a cool idea to send out the message of facing your fears through skateboarding. I chose skateboarding because there are many fears that need to be faced if you want to become a good skater.
3) My final design is the best because There are multiple pictures instead of one and I think the colors contrast well. My favorite part is the quote though, it talks about using courage and I think it describes facing your fears more than the first quote.
4) The first thing I learned about designing a successful poster is picking a good picture. Second picking a quote that goes with the picture, or at least one of the pictures if you chose more than one. Finally, picking the right colors. I think this is important because you need your poster to have good colors if you want it to look good. It is also important that you colors contrast.
Project 2
October 15th
For this image I first found a background online that I liked and put it in Photoshop. Next I found all of my characters and placed them in the background. Finally I made text bubbles, and when I put it all together I was happy with my result.
When I finished tracing them I then imported my characters into the laser cutting website called 10.3.4.31, spaced them out and cut them. I then realized after I cut them that my characters were messed up and to far apart in size, so I cut them again.

After that I put all of my characters into Adobe Illustrator and traced them. I also had to make sure they were the right size so they would look good when they were cut.
When I cut them for the second time this is how they turned out. Finally the right size and shape. Overall I am happy with how my characters turned out, and when I put them on the background and add some details I'm sure they will look even better.

I finally printed my background and placed my characters on it. When I did this I realized the background was a little small, but it looked like it was in the distance, and I liked that so i kept it and I am happy with my final result!
The Final Project
I'm going to do the Carvey for my final project. I'm planning on finding a picture of a skateboard logo and tracing it in Photoshop to make a Carvey. If I have enough time I might even try to put lights in my project.
10/25/18
Today I found an image online and started tracing it. It was really hard It was really hard tracing the teeth so tomorrow I will fix them up a little.
10/26/18
Today I finished tracing my Image and filled the H in. it was a little tough tracing the H but I managed and I think it looks pretty good. Tomorrow I'll make the teeth thicker and I'll be ready to carve!
10/29/18
Today I made the teeth thicker, which was pretty hard, but I managed and tomorrow I should be ready to cut.
10/31/18
Today I put my image in Easel and it didn't quite turn out right so tomorrow I guess I'll fix it in Photoshop and try importing it again.
11/2/18
My Goal
My goal for this week is to completely finish my Laser-Cutting project and keep working on my carvey. When I cut my Carvey I will continue working on the details.
11/5/18
Today I mostly finished all of my laser-cutting project and all I have to do now is cut my letters and I'll have a finished laser-cut product!
11/6/18
Today I put my text for my laser-cut in Retina Engrave so it should be cut tomorrow and I'll glue everything together.
11/8/18
I finally finished my laser-cut after so much time. This was probably my favorite project in the whole class, and I think it came out amazing!
Final Reflection
Favorite Parts - My favorite parts of Media Arts were the laser-cutter and the poster. I like the poster because I actually got to get it printed and hang it up in my room! I enjoyed the laser-cutter because I actually got to burn a design in wood with a laser, and I had never tried it before.
What I Learned - I learned how to do a lot of things in Media Arts this year, but two things I thought were really cool I learned this year were how to work with Adobe Spark and use the laser-cutter. they were really cool!
Struggles - My hardest time was probably with my laser-cut. It was challenging because I had to keep changing what I did, but I overcame these challenges and in my mind, came out with a really cool result!
What I Want To Change - The only thing I would change in this class is how long I got to be here. I wish I could stay in this fine arts class forever because it's the best one!
