Spark Project 1

Picture
​1) I chose this picture to because I feel like cats really represent me because I have a cat, and they are a big part of my life.
2) Here are the design choices I made, for this one I contrasted the colors of the font with the colors of the picture.
3) Something I did well on this project is match the colors of the font to the colors of the cat                      because it makes the picture go well together.
4) Something I would change if I did this project again would be choosing a different font because I don't think this font goes well with the rest of the picture.
 Picture

I chose this picture because I thought that it represented motivation, because it makes me look like  I am ready for anything.
I chose this text because Lately my family and friends have been motivating me to try my hardest, and that is really important to me. 
I lowered the opacity to 60%, because I wanted the outline of my body to be clear, but at the same time a little bit see through.
I made my body more subtle because I wanted the words to be the main focus of the picture, I made it blend in with the background.
I moved the letters around so that my body wouldn't be really close to the word.
I made the opacity 100% so that the outline would be clear, and I made my body all one color so it would stand out.
I made my body a silhouette so that it would stand out, and so that t would be the first thing you look at.
1) After seeing projects from your classmates, which did you feel were most successful?
​They were all really successful, but I think that Izzy's was the most successful, because his background matched his words.

some of the things that made the projects powerful were the poses and the fonts of the text.
3) What did people say about your project in the critique?
People said that my project was successful because of my pose, and that the background color matched the font and my pose.
4) What do you feel is the strongest part about your project?
I feel like the strongest part of my project was my pose.

Box Project

I want to make a deign and then print it so that it will be a sticker I can put on my box. I will use the icons in spark. I also want lights inside of the box so that it is kind of like a night light. I want the star to be on top and the lights to shine through the star

yesterday on January 13 I learned how to use the sticker maker, those are the stickers that I made, I learned that i cant get really tiny details on the sticker maker, and I learned that the speed of the printer needs to be at an 8.

Yesterday on January 21 I painted my box with the stickers
today i worked on the cat side and the scorpio sign, I had to reprint my cat because I got paint on it and it wouldn't come off.
Picture
this is my box
I had to get new pieces because those pieces didn't really fit together that well, I transferred the stickers to the other pieces
these are the pieces that didn't work
1. For my project I created a colorful box with stickers on each side, the top of the box comes off so that I can put things in it.

2. I started off by making my sticker designs in "spark" and then I got my box and glued it together. Me and Kori then learned how to use the sticker maker, and we each had a turn to print our own stickers. We helped Nef and Nate make their own stickers.
​
3.I am proud that I learned how to use the sticker maker so fast, and how I helped other people learn how to do it too. I would have colored my box beforeI put it together because I had to get new pieces to paint it. And I would have used a different glue because the hot glue made the box not fit together as good. I also would have colored it and let it dry before I put the stickers on so that the paint wouldn't get on the stickers.

Black History Month Posters

Picture
This is my poster, I learned that Alexandra Bell helps out people articles by rewriting them to make them seem more fair to the public and the person the article is based on.
 Picture
I edited my poster so that I could add some of her work, and add some background info to her text. I learned how to use the layout tool in spark.
Picture
This is my poster of Lena Waith, I learned that she is an actress, a screenwriter, and a producer.
I moved her name to the middle of the page so that it would stand out more.

Photography

A good photo is when the lighting is good, and when the angle of the camera is good. A good photo is also colors that go well together with the background and the thing in the picture.

February 11

This is a picture of the mosaic in the courtyard, Jordan took this picture. I think it turned out really well because the mosaic is really pretty and I think that the angle and lighting is good. And the mosaic takes up the whole picture, but it also would have been cool if you could see the background of the mosaic.
This is a picture of the birdhouse in the courtyard, I took this picture. The angle of the photo is really good, and the angle of the birdhouse is good. I like how the photo shows the background of the birdhouse as well. and the main focus of the photo is the birdhouse.
This is a picture of the rainbow wood in the courtyard, I also took this picture. The angle of the picture shows the background, and it makes the background kind of blurry so that the main focus is the rainbow wood. I like how the first thing you look at is the rainbow wood.

This is the photo me and Jordan decided to edit in photoshop.

February 12

Today me and Jordan tried editing but we couldn't figure out how to do it on photoshop, tomorrow hopefully we will be able to do it after we did some practicing today.

Picture
This is the photo me and Jordan decided to edit, but today we couldn't figure out what to do to photoshop the person in the background out. Tomorrow hopefully we can figure out on photoshop how to do it.

Editing

February 19

Picture
me and Jordan changed our minds and decided to edit this picture.
We edited it so that all of the snow would be light blue, I think that it might have been nicer with a different color, but I learned how to change the color in a photo in photoshop. I do like how the snow stands out against the rest of the photo because it is all a different color.

February 20

Today me and Jordan edited the birdhouse photo so that it would have a subtle pink filter on it to make it stand out. I think it is successful because I think that the color goes really well with the photo itself.

February 21

For this picture me and Jordan used the gradient tool to make all of the snow a light blue so that it would show that there was a lot of snow on the ground out side when we were taking pictures. I think that the blue snow is successful because it makes the snow stand out in a nice way.

February 25

Today me and Jordan took this photo and we are going to make it look like we are peking out of the birdhouse.

Surrealism

February 26

In this photo we wanted to make it "what if there was a whole other world in every birdhouse?" so we wanted to put a big hot air balloon inside to make it seem like there was a whole other dimension in the birdhouse.
 Picture
In this photo we also wanted it to be " what if there was a whole other world inside of every birdhouse?" So we put a sky with clouds inside of it to make it seem like there was a whole world in there. 

February 27

In this photo me and Jordan used the eraser tool to Make it look like Jordan was standing on the edge of the birdhouse hole. I think it is successful because it looks real and it is really creative.

March 2

In this photo me and Jordan uploaded a picture of Freddie Mercury and used the eraser tool to crop out the background to make it seem like he is in the breezeway at Chute, and to make it seem like he is really short.
