Creative Team Project

The last project we did was a creative team project.  We got to choose a partner and create a toy all our own.  I really liked this project because it allowed us to collaborate with each other and create something that is completely different than any one else's, The toy we decided to make was a doll that transforms into a mermaid when it comes in contact with water.  We got the idea from an old show called H2O which was about these 3 teenage girls who became mermaids when they touched water.  It was really fun to make this package because we got to create not only the toy but also a color palette, type palette, logo, and package.  We chose to use the orange and blue from the H2O cover and pink to ad another color.  Overall, I'm very happy about how this project turned out and would definitely do it again.  If I could change one thing, however, I probably would add more design elements to it to make it look a little more intriguing.

ACT II Detention

This is the second act of the short film we created in video.  In this act the students begin to search for Mr. Cooper.  As they break off and go their own ways they get killed off one by once.  Becky, Alex, Brad, Jack, Heather, and Stacy all slowly get killed by a mysterious figure.  Who it is? You'll have to watch Act III to find out.

This act was really fun to film because our story was brought to life.  We got to incorporate different scripts and shots within it which made it interesting to film.  There were also different people we got to work with which gave us a different work experience with different people.  Overall, I'm very proud of this act and am excited to film Act III.

ACT I Detention

At the beginning of the semester we started creating a short film.  The film that Angie and I came up with was Detention.  8 students are in detention when their teacher gets a call that he needs to take.  This exhilarating thriller will keep you on your toes and wanting to keep watching.

Magazine Cover

This project we just recently did in graphic design was we had to recreate a magazine cover with a picture of ourselves. I chose a picture one of my best friends took of me during a photoshoot.  I chose this photo because it had an interesting background and you could tell I was the focal point.  To make this more relevant, I made a mask and put my head in front of the title so that it had some different textures within it.  The fonts that I used were Lemon Milk, basic title font, and Edition.  To make them different from one another, I would change the stroke, make them bolder, or italicize them.

Overall, I'm very proud of my magazine and would definitely do this project again.

L/I/P/Z Package

The last project we did was creating a package and supplement.  We had to create type and color palettes while also making a logo and explanation.  Our product was L/I/P/Z which can enhance the size of your lips while coloring them if you choose.  We also had to create a package with bleeds and glue flaps to finish our design.  Not only this, but we had to create a barcode and nutrition label to put on one side of our package.  I was in charge of creating the pattern for our product.  The way I did this was by making an oval then rotating it around the center.  Once I had that group, I rotated them around each other which created a complex yet elegant pattern that went along with our product package well.

If I were to redo this project, I would make sure I had the layers correct and the dieline/bleed so that I wouldn't have to redo it 20 times.  However, I was pretty happy with how our package turned out and would definitely do this project again.

Printed Business Cards

Music Video

Our last project in A/V was to pick a song that has a storyline then create a new music video for it.  The song we chose was Crazy Youngsters by Ester Dean.  It's about being judged and being shot down but being able to get back up and show those people that you can do it.  The members in my group were Mallory who was trying to shoot a ball into a trashcan, Makena; who was playing the cello but couldn't hit the right note, Katie; who was doing a math problem and was struggling to get it right; then me; I was doing gymnastics and couldn't do my skill right.  However, when we all were able to get our things done the right way, we joined together to go film the "actual" video for our song.  We found out that it was a lot harder to manage our time than we thought but it actually ended up better than we thought.
