My Last Blog for this School year is for my Graphic Design e-com Class.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Graphic Design this year i have three projects that really stuck with me the first one and my favorite one would have to be the last one which was the Logo one for myself. this project was really easy and i wanted a challenge for this project so i actually made over 12 different completed models in illustrator before the first week of working on them. i was really fun because i had the ability to do whatever i wanted with it and that gave me freedom to do what i wanted.

 The second Project that i think was fun is the Greeting cards that we had to make. what we did with this project was make a fancy font on a piece of paper and move it to the computer and make a greeting card with it. i actually had a lot of fun making this project because it was fairly simple and i was able to make it look really good. i also enjoyed making a weird one so mine says "You're not normal".


                                                   

Last but not least my third favorite assignment was the Avent Advertising one. so what we had to do was make a poster, post card, and a ticket for a band that is playing at the sprint center. i chose to do one for Thomas Rhett who is a Country Music singer. i really liked this project because i got to do research on Thomas Rhett and became a big fan of his.














--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the Year i had to work really hard when we were first starting and it was hard i would practice the different Adobe Programs in other classes trying to get used to it, but when i finally did get used to it it became way to easy so i had the chance to relax and make more things throughout the year besides what i had to make. I honestly really had fun making all the things in class and the class really helped me in creative ways.













Strengths In Graphic Design: I Picked up the different programs really fast and i was able to create things fast and that really saved me time if there was something else that i wanted to do besides the normal things that were assigned in class.

Weaknesses In Graphic Design: The hardest things in Graphic Design were coming up with new ideas and keeping myself busy. when you get things done quickly it makes it hard to stay working all the time while in class. Also it can be really challenging to come up with new and special things.

Conclusion to Sophomore year
The Best things in Graphic Design were being able to create things that i wanted and the relaxation of the class itself. I Personally had a lot of fun in this class and i wish that i could come back to it but i really want to do Journalism so that is what i will be doing instead of the Graphic Design classes in the e-Com Program but i will definitely miss being in Graphic Design. I just want to say Thank You!!! To Mrs. Beaudoin for being a great teacher throughout my sophomore year in high school so Thank You!!!

This is my second to last Blog of my Soft-more year. this blog will be about the last assignment i had to do in my Entertainment e-Com class.


So let me just say that Entertainment is the worst class known to man in the e-Com program. i hated it and so did my group while making this video. The story of the video was a kid (who i was the actor for) who got bullied and sucked at Baseball that was his favorite sport. one day after being rejected by the high school team another student offered to train him after being bullied some more the main character met his mentor on the field and trained really hard and eventually made it on the team. when he got on the team he started to head home when a car driven by a former bully hit and killed him making his hard work and dreams go to waist. after the mentor found out he decided to take his place and become the person that the main character wanted to be.


it was really hard we had actors quit and just not show up  it was windy so the sound quality was really bad and we had to change the story due to a time crunch.
