Sketchup House

Overview

For our project we were given the task of making an house in Sketchup. We had to pick a house from housplans.com that was at least 500 square feet. Then we would have to recreate that house in Sketchup and it had to look somewhat similar to the one you chose.

What We Did

So we started out with a simple cube the size of our houses dimensions. Then we added stuff such as the roof, steps, and porches. After that we did more detailed things like windows and railing. Then one of the final things we did was add the textures to our house to make it realistic and unique. We also had to find two of our own textures of the web to make our house even more unique.

Outcome

Overall I think this was a very good project and a great learning experience. By makeing a house in Sketchup it alowed us to get used to Sketchups tools and physics. I now know way more about Sketchup and how it works than i did a couple weekes ago. In the end this was a great project even though it was frustrating at some points it taught us a lot.

Logo Project

The Process I started the process by filing pages in my sketch book with ruff and simple designs. I then narrowed it down to three designs, which I then made a final copy for each. I showed these three designs to Mr. Olsen, and he helped me to chose the best one. I took this design into Adobe Illustrator and started making the final design. I messed around with various angles, colors, and and shapes until I found what looked best for me. Decisions I wanted a logo that was going to look very sharp and professional so decided to use a an abstract B with a lot of 45 degree angles. I also chose to use a square to contain my logo because it brings the design together and contains it well. I didn't want to use a lot bright colors because I wanted to stick to the simple and professional theme so I chose to us black and grey. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome of my logo.

Typography Project

Typography Project Overview For our typography project we had to write our name in adobe illustrator and label the different parts. This project was meant to help us understand the different parts of text, and fonts, and it did a good at that. What we Learned We leaned a variety of text vocabulary such as shoulder, counter, ear, bowl, and many more. It also helped us get more familiar with the program Adobe Illustrator. Overall it was a great learning experience. How Did it go Overall this was a great project that taught us a lot about typography, and Adobe illustrator. It was all so a very fun project, it was very interesting to see what our names were made out of. Overall this was a very fun and educational project.

News Story

News Story: https://docs.google.com/a/students.olatheschools.com/document/d/1eD0dNKpxJI-cJORjMyw6UNbOCLkzu_Zxcv9TVVMs2xs/edit For my news story I chose to convert my finals feature piece into a news piece. I used the inverted pyramid by putting the most important info towards the top and extra info at the bottom. I also used the interview clips in a way that they seem more factual. I didn't really like writing a news piece a much as I thought I would. In my opinion a feature piece allows for more freedom. I still need to work on staying away from opinions and making the piece more factual. What I would do the same next is put all the important information at the beginning. Overall I thought this was a good writing assignment to introduce us to News
