Motivational Poster

Our latest project is a motivational poster, there are quite a few requirements. For this project we are going to be graded on a 4 point scale. The requirements are to have 2 text layers, the 2 layers should consist of your manifesto and our personal quotes. Also 4 image layers which should consist of 3 images that symbolize us and 1 portrait of ourself. To get all 4 possible points We need to kern our text to fill the whole photoshop document. Have a triadic color scheme, visual balance, and last to have visual balance to create an artistic appeal.

The first step is to write your manifesto and quotes, I did this by looking at what others have written and wrote my own. Next, I took photos of my symbols. Then I put my text and photos in photoshop. After the I got the text in I kerned it to fit across the whole document. After, I got the photos and arranged them using visual balance. Then, I Added a color overlay to the symbols. Next, I added layer styles to my text. Lastly, I saved the document as a .JPEG and turned it in.

The biggest challenge in this project would definitely have to be kerning the text. I thought this was the hardest and most difficult because this took the most time. One of the hardest part about kerning was getting the text moved around. Also I couldn't figure out how to make the text fit across the whole page. I completed this task by asking others and checking out the focus wall. Also, by using my knowledge and Mr. Sanderls demonstrations. After a lot of moving, sizing, and kerning the text I finally got the text to fit.

      

Personal Manifesto

       Hey guys whats up? So five interesting facts about myself are... I like to go to the beach with family and freinds. Another is that my favorite ice cream is "dulce de leche". Also I like hanging outside and fixing things around the house. Also One of my favorite things to do is to go to cool stores like Cabelas, bass pro shops, home depot, etc. Also over the summer I kayaked the  Nā palli coast. Another interesting fact about me is that I like buying little gadgets and cool things. And last but not least I like to ride my quad in mud and long trails.

life's life, do what you love if you think its hard, make it easy count your blessings, make them count Try your best, never stop do it good, If you cant do it, Try again share lots, love lotsHave fun, live lifeDream big, try hard take your time, do it good never quit, always try quality work, takes time live your life right, And you'll be alright

       My manifesto applies to all readers because everybody make choices and needs to do things in life. It talks about choices when it says "do whats right" because when we are faced with choices one is usually the better decision. Also it says to "do what you love" which means that if what you love is doing the right thing then you should do it. Also it says to " count your blessings, and make them count" which means that we should really count our blessing but we should certainly make them count.

Music Videos Rock!

My team consists of Makaio Gonsalves, Meleana Keawe, and me. I feel that everyone on our team contributes to our project equally. Makaio is a big help when it comes to the set up and break down of our equipment when it comes time to film. Meleana is a big help when it came to the planning and also the camera functions. So I thought id ask my teammates how I contributed, They said that I contributed by helping in the editing process. I think we make a good team and work with one another well.

I feel that the part the audience will enjoy the most is the beginning. The start of our music video starts with each of us lip syncing and I think its pretty funny when it cuts from one person lip syncing to the next person. It starts off with Makaio sleeping on the couch then suddenly waking up and lip syncing. Then it suddenly cuts to me lip syncing. Then it goes to Meleana where jason Mraz is singing. I really just think that the part the audience will like is when were lip syncing.

Lyrical Livelihood

My favorite song lyrics are from the song "Take your time" by Sam Hunt. I like the song because I like how the Sam Hunt expresses the lyrics. I really like the way that the song is written and the story it tells. My favorite part of the song is when it says" No, I ain't gotta call you baby And I ain't gotta call you mine I don't have to take your heart I just wanna take your time" because its basically talking about how he just wants to be freinds and get to know her.

My team is Makaio Gonsalves, Meleana keawe, and me. The music video song my team choose was "Everybody's Got Somebody But Me" from  Hunter Hayes Ft. Jason Mraz. We choose this song because we believed it was a good song that was appropriate for school. Also because the original music video had two guys singing which which is perfect for are team because we have two boys, even though we have one girl we can still incorporate her somewhere in our music video to make sure we meet the requirements.

The visual story that our music video will show is that you can easily make friends by just simply communicating with people and finding things that you have in common with them. It will show this by having our whole team in the beginning lonely with nobody then in the middle trying to find friends and at the end finding friends and hanging out with them.

Our Animation Story

Each team needed to pick one persons story. Our team chose to do a story about sophia and how she faces her fears. Our focus statement is "sophia faces fear" which is pretty self explanatory and shows how she faces her fears. So the story starts off with sophia reading the harry potter book then she goes into a dream which she faces her fears and wakes up unharmed at the end. Although it is pretty difficult to figure out what are focus statement is trying to show, I hope it somewhat makes sense to the audience.

When people watch our animation they will learn that sometimes you need to face your fears even when you don't want to. This will be showed because is shows and says that Sophia will face her biggest fears and she is scared but still does it. Also at the end sophia is given a trophy which shows that if you face your fears you can receive a reward. Me and my team expect to make an impact on people that are afraid to face their fears.

As a team we faces many struggles and problems. At first out team work was going pretty good, we could all agree on something, work together, and complete simple tasks together as a team. Then when we started to film things started off pretty good until we started to get confused on what scenes each other were doing and who should to what. Also everybody thought their idea was the best and right idea even though everybody's idea couldn't be right, right? I think out team struggled because we had 5 people on our team instead of 4 like all the other teams. All I can say is that i'm happy its over and that our finished product turned out alright.

ANIMATION OUTTAKES

 My teammates are Ashley, Sophia, kyla, And Micah. Our job is/was to create a real problem animation with unrealistic movements. Some interesting facts about Ashley is that she cheers for the kapa'a eagles and She wants to be a coach when she grows up. Some facts about Sophia is that she likes to play the piano and also volleyball. Kyla likes school and likes to learn new things.

stop-motion animation is the Process of taking multiple images of and object  which is unable to move on its own to look as if it is moving by itself. Or making a human or animal move in unrealistic ways. Many images are needed depending on the amount of frames per second (fps) which your animation is created with. the more images per second the smoother and more clear your animation will be.

The story we are telling is "sophia faces fear". In our story Sophia dreams about being in the harry potter movie/book. In our animation she faces her fears and completed many tasks. Her Challenge was to do scary things that she did not want to do. you should care because it teaches you to face your fears even when you really don't want to. Although it  really make sense of what the lesson of our story is I hope it is easy to understand after it is all tied together.

Typography Images

Typography is the style and appearance of printed matter. Typography can be either a portrait of someone or an object with a chunk of text placed over it. In our case were using images of people. The text usually shows the persons feelings, but can also represent other things such as their traits, interests, and hobbies. Typography can be used with images to make a lasting impact by making the image memorable.

The biggest challenge during this project so far was understanding how to add the gradient overlay. to overcome the issue I asked for help from Mr. Sanderls helpers and they couldn't seem to fix the problem as well. So I explored through the blend modes and I finally found One that showed the gradient overlay as well as the text. That blend mode was subtract btw. Also I couldn't seen to figure how to create my text brush. So I watched and re-watched the tutorial until I could figure it out

My three examples are of Steve jobs, Mr. Mchugh and Me. What makes each of them different is that they are all done in different methods. Although they are each done using photoshop there were 3 different tutorials we followed. Also they are all of course portraits of different people. My favorite one would have to be the one of Mr. Mchugh, mostly because I like the method and how the text is added to the photo. Here are the links to the other tutorials 1 & 3.
