Logo design

With my logo designs I wanted to show sharpness and precision. Also I wanted to enforce the idea of "Just Push Play" or "Push Play".  I started looked at a heartbeat design because i wanted to display that my brand was the heart of my focus, and give it an alive feeling. Then i sized down the spiked lines and realized it looked like audio.  I liked the idea and i had been looking at different sharp logo designs. I came across the idea of the play button when i started laying out triangles on my art board. 

I liked the audio lines and play button but it didn't feel very personal so i added the J. Then I created more designs with different colors, ever though I want to mostly stick with purple because i like how soothing and stable it looks. Lastly i put triangles in a line with my name to create a header and complete more of my identity package. 

Personality Quiz. What is ENFP?

 My Personality Test

            My personality type is ENFP, which stands for Extrovert, Intuition, Feeling, and Perceive. This group feels motivated by being with others, focuses on the big picture at the end of a project, value personal feelings over logical decisions and lastly prefers to keep their opinions open. Some specific characteristics of ENFPs are they’re charming, risk-takers, observant, spontaneous, and independent.  Famous celebrities that share these traits are Will Smith, Robin Williams, Walt Disney, and Ann Frank. Followed by some fictional characters that include Arial from The Little Mermaid, Steve Urkel, and Will from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aif.

I believe this personality type mostly fits me, especially with the out going, extrovert part, and open, perceive part. I’m a very energetic person and there’s no doubt in the word that I would love to be out with a group of people than inside all day reading a book. I also try my hardest to keep an open mind and listen very closely when someone is telling me his or her personal view on something. I really enjoy input from others and sometimes I even change my thoughts based on their reason. On the other hand though I would have to disagree some with the feeling part of ENFP. Yes, like every human, my emotion sometimes gets in the way of my decisions but I work really hard to try and understand the logical and rational side of things. Although, I may not completely agree with these traits, I feel like they give me a much better understanding of myself, showing me things that I couldn’t really see about myself from a first persons perspective. Also I feel more comfortable knowing more about ENFP so when I work with others I can contribute more.

What graphic design is to me

Graphic design is involved in my life in a million different ways, but the place I focus on it most is in comic books. Comic books are not only telling a story but also are explaining it in mostly just colors and shapes. It has also opened up so many new possibilities for art by creating these complex characters. They move people with emotion and inspire others with beauty.

Professional Article Review Guidelines

In this article the writer, Natasha Singer addresses the problem of social media post and how they can effect your chances of getting onto a college. She states that 31% of colleges admissions officers look at possible candidates social media accounts, and its on the rise. As this becomes more popular, theres a great debate on if colleges should be allowed to do this.

As a high school student hoping to attend a college, the thought that posts i've made in the past or someone else has posted tagging me, can effect my chances of getting into my university of choice its quite scary. Also the thought that they could possibly mistake someone else's account for mine or read a untrue rumor and base their decision on something i didn't do or couldn't help is also very worrisome.

Also the fact that some kids will create two Facebook accounts confuses me. Whats the point of posting something on a site your family and possible implores are on if you are worried about them seeing it. Plus, no account will stay secret for long,  as soon as you post your face on it, its only a matter of time.

Though i've never done it, it urges me even more to remember to never share anything scandalous or inconsiderate on social media. Growing up with the internet in my life i have to be extra careful to keep my personal information private and things like this just urge me more.

Psycho Girlfriend Chase

The scope of my video was that a crazy girlfriend had spotted her a girl flirting with her boyfriend  and chase and attacked her but couldn't stay mad once seeing him and was just still happy she had him even though she's kind of insane. The process in which we made this video was first we brainstormed the plot and shots we wanted. After we decided on them we went out and filmed what we needed. Then we imported our stuff onto the computers and started editing, cutting shots and adding in music. After we completed our videos we posted them onto the internet. While working on this I learned how to cut music and how to line it up with the shots so it's not as obvious. Also I learned that if you're in the director role when filming it's better to be bossy and get the shots you want than to be shy and regret it later. If I was to redo this project I would probably cut my clips shorted so it'd be a tighter and faster paced video, also I would want more of the same shots but from different angles. Things I would keep the same would be my music and the plot line because I really enjoyed our different idea and how well the music fit with the shots. In my next projects I will hopefully choose an idea very out of the box like this one was for us because I know I'm capable of coming up with them and I will most defiantly not be shy to get the shots I want and  I will focus on getting more angles. All around I feel like me and my partner did a good job and I'm very happy with how all my videos turned out, especially because I joined this program with very little video production knowledge and now I feel much more experienced and comfortable with it.
