Bouncing Ball

First Animation Project

For my first animation project, I used the squash and stretch principle. Using this principle helps create the illusion that the ball is moving faster and that it squashes when it hits the ground.

"They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets"

Summary      
         The whole article is pretty much telling you to watch what you say online. If you say something rude or inappropriate on social media it can determine weather or not you get into a good college. Posting something online that is inappropriate can give you a bad reputation. Colleges actually look at your social media accounts to see if they really want you at their school, even if you have good grades, your personality matters.
Surprising/Confusing       
         It surprised me about how the colleges really care about what you say online. It also surprised me on how some people don't realize how teenagers will be teenagers and people can change. I don't understand why some people think that this is a huge problem. I also don't understand/like how a college will determine weather or not you get in just because of what you say online.  Do they not know that teenagers make mistakes?
Impact
        This article doesn't really change the way that I post online because I don't post anything offensive. It will make me more cautious of what I say. I want to get into a good college, so I haven't and won't post anything that is offensive or inappropriate.  

Fun With Photoshop

 

ONW Compass:
 For my first photoshop project I copied and pasted the ONW compass onto the picture of our school and adjusted the opacity. Next I typed the ONW and changed the opacity.

 Butterfly:
For the butterfly project I adjusted the hue to change the colors and make it brighter. I used the clone stamp tool to make the wings look like they are fluttering. I personally liked this project the most.

 Northwest Gradient:
For my next photoshop project I used the type mask tool to type "NORTHWEST." I used the gradient tool to get the blue to black to blue affect. I enjoyed this project because I think it looks cool.

ONW Raven:
For the last photoshop project, I used the magnetic lasso tool to trace the raven's head. I had to remove two light posts and two cars from the picture of ONW. I copied and pasted three photos of the inside of the school onto the rave and changed the opacity.

My Logo~HC

For my logo, I used a circle because I am well rounded. I used blue because it reminds me of the ocean or lake. It is very simple, its not too busy. Music completes my life so I used music notes on my logo. Instead of filling in the notes with plain black, I used the letters in my name to fill them. I feel like my logo represents me in many ways. Another reason i went with the circle is because I play soccer and a soccer ball is round.
