Summer Travels

      It's June 19th, the day we planned to leave for our annual trip to Michigan, the first stop on our summer of traveling. It was a long and bumpy car ride and it smelled like wheat fields for the majority of the journey north. When we arrived to our destination, Ludington, Michigan, I was welcomed by the familiar sight of tall green trees and the lake that looks like an ocean. My sister and I race to the beach and I'm the first to feel the warm sand on my feet. The rest of our family begins to arrive as the days go by, and sooner than we know it, it's our last day.

              Our next stop was Orlando, Florida. On July sixth, we departed from Grand Rapids, Michigan. The plane ride was exactly like the car ride, it seemed to take forever because of excitement building up and the turbulence was the worst I've experienced. The next day, we woke up early and took an Uber with the best free chocolate to Hollywood Studios. My mom, sister, and I had a blast and watched the fireworks go off with explosions of color that night at Magic Kingdom.

         We returned home briefly and before beginning our next journey to Seattle, Washington. Our plane landed in Spokane, Washington, and we started a cross-state road trip, stopping at Mount Rainier in the middle of it. The green trees and tall mountains were beautiful, it was a sight I had never seen before. The winding roads that were only feet away from tall cliffs led to very cautious driving. The skies were blue and the air smelled like evergreen trees. We continued driving, and finally arrived in Seattle. The skies were clear and bright blue, shockingly, and we were able to enjoy a day outside before attending a family reunion the next day.



          I think my panorama turned out really well. I put a lot of detail into making sure it all flowed by using blending modes to put two different types of plant life together, blending two clouds from different pictures together, making the sky a solid color, and making sure the color theme of each picture flowed throughout the entire panorama. I tried to go in order of my vacations, which worked in some areas, but for consistency I did make an exception or two. Overall, I'm really surprised with how this turned out. I really liked this project and I'm interested in doing more things like it.

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...
