self performance review

This project was to make a infographic about any topic we chose. I chose to do my infographic on co2 emotions from car vs hybrids. This project took over 2 weeks to complete. It took me a while to figure out what design I would use because its hard to think of a design using multiple cars and featuring text.  I learned how to use the pen tool. I added a tree because I thought it would liven up the atmosphere and put something in the background.

For this project we had to use illustrator to make a raccoon. This project took around a week. One challenge I faced were the eyes. I didn't know whether to make them bigger or smaller.  Some people told me I needed bigger ears.

For this project we had to make a panorama of different pictures that we took. This project took about a week including getting the pictures. A challenge for me was finding good pictures to use in my project. This project helped me learn about the selection tools and about using different layers to make a image. Some feedback that I got was that I should have added some color to things to make them stand out. One thing I changed was adding the jet flying through the air instead of taking off/landing on the road.

I have had a lot of fun in graphic design this year. I Think that most of my work is pretty good and think that I can make some really good things if I stay on task and use my time wisely.

I usually didn't finish early and when I did I just tried to find out what I could improve. I come in after school sometimes to improve/finish my work.

I have a positive attitude and will work hard to get things done on time. I need to improve on my ability to stay on task and draw.

This semester I liked that we had a lot of freedom with our work. I would come in more often and change some of my designs for my projects. I learned that the pen tool is very helpful and can increase the design quality of my projects. I would like to get all my stuff in on time and be able to make better designs. I really enjoy graphic design and can't wait for next year.

Printing Processes

Relief Process One way works uses a wood cut with ink on it and then letting the ink be pressed onto the paper. You use pressure to transfer the ink to the paper. Grain in the wood allows the artist to vary the color/texture. A linoleum cut is similar to a wood cut. The linoleum cut does not dull the tools as much and prints flat black unlike the wood cut. Wood cut: Tone the block Transfer with iron oxide or carbon paper Choose white line or black line composition Cut Roll ink over the block evenly Press  Linoleum: Lay out drawing with a marker Cut Roll ink on block Press Intaglio This technique involves scratching or moving the plate. The places were it is scratched holds the ink. What you scratch is what is in ink. Etching is Scratching a way ground. In Etching you do not scratch burrs you are scratching an outline to be eaten away by acid. Dry point Scratch the surface of the plate Add tone with roulette Steel face Wipe plate with ink Lay damp pi

Quarter four project The project was to make product and Advertise that project with a website, Commercial, And logo. The project took all quarter to make. a challenge we faced were absences. I learned how to add graphic design to a picture and video. I liked working on this project during 4th quarter it gave everyone a chance to use there ideas and go through everything again. Some things I accomplished this quarter were acting in the video, Making a banner for the website, And making the charger and MINI Coach model. I stayed productive by helping my team and giving them feedback and ideas. Outside of class I watch videos to learn easier faster ways to do things in the programs. I am good at giving feedback and ideas. I am good at choosing color schemes and making sure they fit and don't get to vibrant and lose the actual product/logo. I can maximize my strengths by watching videos experimenting with the programs and asking for help. I need to improve on staying

personality traits

I think that the description fit me very well. One trait that related to me the best was "ESFP's are vivacious entertainers who charm and engage those around them". This related to me because I love to talk to people and make people laugh. One part that did not fit me very well was needing/wanting material comforts. I do not care much for material items I care more about friends and family.   This did not help me learn very much I already knew most of this stuff about me. It did make me realize that I do some of these things without even realizing it. Examples are, including people and talking. I always try to include people that do not talk much or talk little in conversations. It is also good to know that it is normal for people like me to talk a lot. I always thought that I was just talking out of boredom but now I see that it was just my nature to be talkative. I think my personality type helps by contributing ideas to groups and getting others to contribute t
