Soft-more Year E-comm

Austin Tothen




          This year has been very eventful in e-comm. if you didn't know I'm in the Graphic design and Video classes in e-comm so I have to make a log post for those classes so I'm killing two birds with one stone by posting one overall blog on this semester so far. so without further adoooo lets get into my first semester this year.




Graphic Design

So I'm going to start with graphic design since that is the class I'm working on this in. So when I first entered this class I was very hesitant because I didn't really know if this is what I really wanted to do and to be honest I still am having some regrets, only because it's more difficult than I thought it would be, but even though it hard its still one of the funnest classes I've had this year and it gets easier the longer you do it for.

Projects
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first few projects we made in this class were fairly simple because they were In photoshop and photoshop was really easy if you look at my old posts then you will see some of those projects or if you go to my Behance account which ill link at the bottom of this paragraph you can see some of them, the second part of this semester was really hard mainly because it was in Ai witch is not my fortay and is really hard to get a grasp of at first. but over time it got easier.

My hardest assignment would have to had been the fall season one which was very time consuming and really annoying to do in Ai my hardest Ps one was probably the poster one were I had to use like 10 different pictures and make them fit but I kept on forgetting to take more pictures so I had to use pictures from year prier then this year.

("Man In Blue")

The most fun projects were Probably one of the fist ones we ever did I called it "Man In Blue" here is the picture of it

Here is my final that I did I think it was really fun to make this mainly because I had fun rain over what was going on with it I got to make my own thing.




The Final was to make a info graphic about a topic I chose D&D  (Dungeons And Dragons) personally I love Dungeons and Dragons and play it all the time so it was really fun looking up all the information and finding out new things about this game that I really liked. if I had to do something different was take my time a bit more to be honest I didn't put as much effort into this compared to most people in my class I feel like it was a little rushed. also the picture on my character sheet it was supposed to look like this. anyways this assignment was really fun to do and was one of if not my favorite project this year.







All and all Ive liked my graphic design class this semester but I still don't know what I'm going to do next year.

Video

Now its Time to talk about video so this class I will admit its one of my favorite classes this year sorry GD teacher, Anyways this class is really fun mainly because as a student we don't get much freedom to do what we want but that's not true in this class.


Projects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 For the most part the projects in this class were more annoying. just trying to get all the stuff together and trying to fix little things also i'm an introvert and i'm not good at getting out of my comfort zone which was probably the hardest thing that i've had to go through this year. now the first project went really wrong because i had to edit the video on my phone the next project that i did sucked too mainly because i didn't get the film i really needed. For the final which i'm still working on is probably the easiest project that i've worked on all year. but there is one thing wrong... MR.COOPER MADE ME AN ANCHOR!!! I was sitting minding my own business i had been through the training for the tech part of the film and Mr. Cooper says "Hey Michael what are you doing?" he looks at the board and sees that only girls are anchors and decides i get to be one and now i'm a sports anchor. sports! sports! i don't know anything about sports!!!... anyways Videos not that bad. (Jk Mr. Cooper Thanks for giving me the opertunity)
