Postcard



 These are my 3 postcards, as you can see, these have to do with my interests, some are stronger than others, I created 2 with my name, 1 scenery, and 1 of the things I love. Now the other, this post card is about my favorite character ever created, Phoenix Wright, as you can see Phoenix is VERY important to me, and I love him. I made it because its winter, and that reminds me 
of valentines day, and he will forever be my valentine :). With rest of the bunch, I just used my name, and used a number of clipping masks to input some of my favorite things. And with the scenery card, I really like how the image looks, and I can relate to it, because i think it represents me.

creative spheres

These are my 2 creative spheres, the top was in illustrator, the bottom was in photoshop. for the beach ball, i used the 3d tool and for the orb on the bottom I primarily highlighted the gradient tool, the draw attention to the colors, and styles. For the 3d ball, I had to map a string of colors onto a 3d shape, getting around it is hard at first, but when you do it a lot, you get used to it and are able to avoid most of the mistakes you made in the first run, but I made sure to do it a few times, and I got the hang of it. As for the gradient ball, I was focused on practicing my gradient skill and finding out new color combinations, I also got the hang of the radial gradient, and placing it, as for the plain in the background. I feel these 2 balls represent the differenced and similarities between the programs Photoshop, and Illustrator. As you can see they both have radial gradients to add a lighting affect, and they both involve trying to get the surface onto the object itself. However, In Photoshop, I made the ball 2d, but with a 3d-ish feel by adding the light, and with the Illustrator ball, it was more focused on giving the ball a surface and texture. These balls are the bridge between 2 useful programs.

Real or Hoax?


What was the project 


For this project, we had to dispel those nasty rumors floating on the internet through HTML. Before we started this project, we had to make the bare bones for the page layout, it looks like a more dull version of what you're seeing. And before we put in our content we had to create a color scheme through a website called colorschemedesigner, make sure it fits, then implement the colors to our website accordingly. Creating this took time, putting the content in its right place was difficult, and making sure I found everything was even harder because I missed a few things on my first try!

What exactly did I learn


 Throughout this project, I learned about embedding youtube links, I got to sharpen my skills on making a sidebar, and I got better at creating color schemes and figured out how to enter a date that will stay updated and got better at creating a menu and keeping track of 6 different pages. I also made an unordered list through code(which I have already learned before, but this was a good refresher!).

Final thoughts and feelings

  If I were to to this all over again, I would probably just change the color scheme, or I might change the font in some areas, but really that's it, I'm very proud and happy of how this turned out overall! Now the things I would do the same is I would probably stay in some similar area in regards of the color scheme, I would definitely keep my layout, the way I did things, and that doesn't leave anything else. I would say my biggest takeaway from this project would be creating and appropriately inputting my color scheme, I really liked doing that and I think It'll definitely come in handy in my other projects to come! Overall Im very happy with how this turned out, and I think that what I learned from this will most definitely be a skill I can utilize in any project I work on!
