Spark Project 1
1) I chose this picture because my entire life I've been playing the violin and I find that it's the most important thing in my life. I love playing the violin and it's the biggest section of my life.
2) The design choices I made were matching the shape behind the text near the same color as the violin. I also made sure that the font was elegant and matched the vibe of the picture which in my opinion was fancy/elegant. 3) Something I did well on this project is choose the font because it was fancy enough to match the same amount of fanciness that the photo was giving off. 4) Something I would change if I did this project again would be change everything because I don't really like the photo because I was rushed to choose one and I didn't really know what to do so I chose one I didn't like a lot. I would also change the color scheme. |
1) I chose these pictures because they are all of the things that I do/enjoy in life. I like avocados, I like taking photos, and I like playing the violin.
2) The design choices that I made were that I made sure that my name matched one of the color schemes of one of the photos. I chose the camera one because it had the most peaceful color scheme. Very soft. Another one was that I made sure the avocado was light enough so that it was visible in one of the pictures with the piano was the darkest one. 3) Something I did well on this project was the font/border and the icon (the avocado) because the colors match the overall color scheme of the photos. 4) Things I changed from my first image was everything. I made these changes because I didn't like the photo that I chose and it was really harsh. I wanted something else that was more peaceful than the last one. |
Feelings Portrait

I chose this effect because i liked how you could still see the words behind me but still see my picture. I used the tool "Fill" and turned it down to 80% to make it visible but different than the original picture.
I chose this effect because I thought that if you changed the black and white and made the hands blacker than everything else it would look like the hands represented the things we were doing to our planet and the Earth was dying because it looked like everything was dead.
|
I chose this effect because I liked the lightness of the photo but it again was different. I chose the option of using the mode "Screen" which made it lighter and made it different again than the original picture.
I don't really like this mode that I used I just thought that it was a cool mode it just didn't work with the text.
|
I chose this as my final design because I thought that it really went together as a color scheme. I just used the layers and put the photo of me holding the globe behind the text.
Maker Project Ideas
This is my inspiration for the box because I like how this looks and once this is finished I'll put fake candles or a lamp inside the box and it'll light up

This is the top design for the box.

January 13th: Today I finished the rest of the designs of the box. I then went to Adobe Illustrator and was able to download the box design template and import my designs onto that platform. I downloaded the finished look of the box. Tomorrow I hope to maybe get my box cut.
January 14th: Today I uploaded both versions onto the blog.

January 16th: I finished the box and I glued the pieces together. I really enjoyed doing this it looks amazing and tomorrow I'm going to start on the next project.

I chose these designs for my box design because my astrological sign is a Leo and I decided to embrace that and make a bunch of different Leo designs and then I asked Mrs. Kushner to laser cut it and then I put the pieces together and glued them. I then let the sides dry for a night and added more glue on the pieces that needed it.
Game Design Project
January 22nd: Today I'm going to start on my game that has a "Hero" almost that is a piece of lettuce that's shooting at all of the enemies which are the "Hot Potatoes" that are different colors and are on fire. Then I'm going to finish the questions on the Google Doc that explains what I'm doing to complete my game.
January 23rd: Today I lost all of my progress within my game because it didn't save. But what I'm going to today is try and get my progress up to where it was before I lost it all. Then I'm going to test the game that I described yesterday and see if it works.

These are the things that I have so far. I have the characters and the background photos. Tomorrow I'm going to create the actual game and the rest of the characters (which at the moment is only the piece of lettuce destroying the potatoes.)
All of my things/all of my code for my game deleted and didn't save even though I signed into my account. That is why I decided to switch projects into photography where I'm going to be able to use an actual camera.
Photography
January 31st: Today I'm going to begin taking pictures with Lucy and upload them to the blog.

February 4th: Today I'm going to help Lucy finish her Maker Project and help instal the LED lights.
While Lucy was taking this photo, she had trouble focusing on my face because the auto-focus kept wanting to focus on the trees around me. But we ended up being able to focus on my face and not the trees.
February 6th: Today I'm going to be taking more photos outside in the snow. I'm planning on taking photos of the trees covered in snow because it's beautiful to take photos of snowy plants.

Minecraft Survival Project
February 5th: Today I'm going to start working on trying to master the architecture of the villagers houses and villages with Lucy on Minecraft.
February 20th: Today Lucy and I have been playing Minecraft and trying to master the architecture of villagers houses.
|
|
February 24th: I finished decorating the villager inspired house and then began on a storefront since Lucy and I have decided to begin an entire village with multiple houses, stores, and things that villages in Minecraft usually don't have!

February 28th: Today Lucy and I are building a arena to fight monsters like zombies, drowned, etc.
March 3rd: We are creating the arena and decorating it with some nature like water for the drowned, and doing some coding to make the mobs drop lapis
