color wheel thing




What was the project?

It was a project in Adobe Illustrator.  We had to make a color wheel. We also had to add the other colors nobody really talks about.

What did I learn?

I didn't really learn much. I already knew how to use Photoshop, and the interface to Illustrator is really similar to that. I did learn about this cool thing where you can make an object move only on an axis thing, which is really handy for getting a triangle in the best spot.

What would I change?

I wouldn't change much. Maybe I would find a better term that Red Purple, if such a term exists, but probably not.

How to Print Video


In eCom, we had to make videos about how to print stuff. It was... interesting. My group has some brilliant ideas like using Jake Paul, because of course. After we story boarded it, we went to the library and took photos on the iPad. After editing those photos together into a presentation, we went to the library once again, this time actually recording video. I was a cameraman. I edited together my cut of the video, fortunately cutting out the dab. I also added sound effects and transitions.

Working with my group was also interesting, as there wasn't much communication between me and the others. Whether this is my fault or theirs is up for debate. We used Adobe Premiere.

If I was to do something different, I would of interacted with them more, and probably said something about the Jake Paul fidget spinner. As for what I'd keep the same, I liked the software I used, so maybe that. One thing I will take from this is interact more.

Sidewalk Chalk


Symbolism is using pictures to mean stuff. We used symbolism in eCom. We were assigned into groups, and most groups drew symbols on a piece of paper. My group, however, had no idea what to do. So, by the deadline we only had about 3 ideas, one of them being a fidget spinner. We ended up drawing random stuff & managing to meet the requirements.

We drew emojis for some reason, the guy with the expensive shoes drew a guy dabbing, (which was x'ed out) and a fidget spinner, and I drew Brak and a computer that turned into a TV because I was sick of correcting everyone else. The people I worked with were pretty enjoyable, however.
