SketchUp House

-

Overview

For this project, we were assigned to create an animated house based off of an actual home from online. Using SketchUp, we would use exact measurements and accurate textures to make our house become three-dimensional. 

How it Went 

I started off well, making sure that the windows lined up where they were supposed to be on the front. Although as I began to turn around the house I started to run into trouble such as glitching window panes, random lines, and things that you wouldn't typically encounter building an actual house. At the midpoint of this project, I definitely began to get bored with SketchUp, which is evident in some places on the house. Toward the end of the project, I managed to again focus on more of the details. 

What I've Learned

This project has enhanced my knowledge of SketchUp, which may help me in the future for whatever I end up doing. Also, I'll take away some new skills in patience, as there were some times that I wanted to pull my hair out. 

What I Would Change

If I could change when I was getting sick, I would because I'd then have more time to work on the assignment. I missed two days of work time due to appointments and being sick, which rushed me toward the end of the project. If I were to completely restart, I would keep the same house, as I think it reflects my own style.

First Semester of Video Production

First Semester of Video Production          We started off this semester with about two weeks of learning about the cameras, shots, and tips about lighting and audio. Although they weren't very fun, I did learn more about the cameras and just how much coloring can affect your video. Our first assignment was to create a video about procedures at ONW. I had a creative group so we were able to think of an idea quickly, and a form of showcasing it without making it too boring. We did our video about how students shouldn't eat on the carpet. I really liked this assignment because we were able to make a fun video about a topic we would've eventually gotten lectured over during class. This assignment made the videos that eComm makes about procedures every year seem like a cool opportunity.                   Our ONW Now News Story was over the fall play, And Then There Were None. My group easily decided on a vide...

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection Throughout my first semester in graphic design, I've gotten the opportunity to go more in depth with design processes like patterning, illustration, and branding. From each of these projects, I have taken away at least one of the five guarantees of eComm. The most relevant of them being technology, as we spend most of our days designing on the computers. I've learned a lot of new features in our software this semester, especially the type that relates to patterning. I first used it with our patterns for the subscription box project, turning my designs into swatches and replicating them for the dielines. I'll definitely be able to use this with future projects and endorsement opportunities. The next most effective guarantee for me was communication. I relied a lot on the feedback and constructive criticism from my peers to critique my work. I took their thoughts and combined them with my own self-thoug...

High School Movie Trailer

Ferris Bueller Trailer Remake           For this project, we were assigned to do a shot by shot remake of a movie trailer taking place in high school. Collectively as a class, we had to brainstorm which movies we'd be interested in. We were placed into groups based off of our favorite ideas from there. I was put into the Ferris Bueller group, which was my top vote, so it was a relief. From the start, my group was very organized in getting everything ready to film. We set up a google doc and had all of the shots organized, the costumes sorted out, and formulated a prop list.  One of the best decisions we made during pre-production was casting mostly inside of our group. It really helped with scheduling later on. We made sure to cast people who could film during school, or had a connection to one of our group members.           Filming was a bit difficult at times, because we had to reschedule a couple of times. We began filmi...
