Today in class we are presenting our final projects. I made a 3 page linked website promoting. "FreshStyleZ UrbanWear". The company sells urban clothing. Its soooo frustrating because my site is finshed yet i cant upload it to the internet... stressfull.. but hopefully everything will come together.. Today we are also taking a final test. Hopefully i do good and pass!

In Design Magazine

Today in class we finished working on our magazines and presented some of them. My Magazine i made on my computer in In Design and it took forever to do!!! But one of the most complicated things was taking my magazine and transporting it to the computer at the school. It took forever but finally came through. I like my magazine alot! I edited all imagez in photoshop and im glad with what i came out with. Today we are supposed to learn either Flash or Dreamweaver

Presentation of After Effects

Before class had started i had been working on my after effects display. I had to start from the beggining and make a new compostion because my old one got lost somehow so this time i made a mario one instead of jennifer lopez. I created an pixelated mario and make it evolve into a modern day mario... there is supposed to be sound to this but it was too confusing to make it work so here it is!

Class Learning After Effects

Today in Class we learned all about After Effects. But before that we took 6 layers of pictures and rendered them into one! I chose a Picture of Jennifer Lopez, A Purple Sky, A Waterfall Background, A White Tiger, The Text " Lust & Danger", and the Art Institute of Tampa Logo! It all come together really nice. After that Ryan showed us how to use After Effects. He showed us how to use the A.P.S.R.O.- A= Anchor Point, P= Position, S= Scale, R= Rotation, O= Opacity! I was really confused and it was hard for me to learn. But i love the program, it creates many images. I cant wait to learn the program.. i am going to study it hard!

Today in class we reviewed our projects. We went up to the front of the class and we advertised our logos and explained them. My logo was this...(picture in last blog). I was trying to create a Computer Animation Company called CD3. And towards the end Ryan came in and critiqued our logos, and for first time students he thought it was successful! I think my logo was successful, i had really worked hard on it. Most of our designs looked better in black, and Ryan also agreed. This project was pretty cool.. After the presentation we took a TEST!! URGH!! i do not think i did well at all... BUT REMEMBER MRS. BROWN U SAID U WOULD KINDA WAVE IT LOL CUZ I WAS AN ANIMAL TECH .. REMEMBER MY CUTE POMERANIAN!!!! LOL!!! nah, but seriouslly i dont think i did that great on the test... i got most confused on the part where we had to know the shortcut keys. But all together it was probobly an ok grade. Hopefully so. Well i guess i'll find out my grade next week. Until then im out! 1

Creating a logo

Today we created a logo! Our logo was of our preference. I chose to make an animation logo for my company CD3! My logo was so cool! I drew a big c, and d, and had the 3 as an exponent. I also wrote animation in a plain bold text to draw more attention to the cd3 logo! its pretty cool! I enjoyed it all!

introduction to illustator

Today in class we learned how to use illustator. I like illustrator beacause u can do many thingz with it.. we were making letters come falling onto circles and step it was really cool.. also we learned how to create cool text! u can drag letters, you can even stretch them! Another cool thing was making a circle with points.. I like using the gradient and fill effects! Class was cool today.. next week we will be working on a logo!

Second Attempt at Photo Shop

A NEW EXPERIENCE... ENTERING COLLEGE!!!


WOW! Isnt it crazy!! Were finally starting college... from Pre-K to 12th Grade had lead up to this. People always talk about it, but not everyone does it! I think its a great accomplishment..

Tampa is a new experience. Making new friends, living with roomates you dont even know, going to school to be succesfull, paying for school! These are all things that at first may be frightening but in the end will all have a good outcome..

I recently moved here from Lakeland, FL. It was kinda crazii at first because your moving to a place that you dont really know, and your being placed in an apartment with people you dont know! But i adapted to it and got to know my roomates and they seemed pretty kool.. Something thats kinda funny is that we dont have Cable.. man iitz krazzii! I find myself walking up to the weight room at 10 o clock at night just 2 watch sum TV lol.. but u kno i gotta work out 2! lol! oh yea i almost forgot! I live in Grand Oasis on N. Himes.. Itz real kool ova there cuz they got 3 poolz n i think 3 weight roomz!

But the objective into moving into college wasnt just to live in the apartment, it was to attend school at the Art Institute of Tampa.. The school is tight because it has flexible hours and a mix of student proffessions. So far everything is great and the people here seem cool!

My goals in my move to Tampa, is to graduate school, meet cool new people and life long friends, become succesful, and be proud of myself and grow as a person!

But on tha fuN side!! I wanna have fuN!!! Party with friends, go Clubbin, N all those goodie goodz lol.. but i wont let those thingz come between me and school! I am making an investment in my life and i wont take it for granted..


... Now u kno a little about me.. You wanna know more? Hit me up! 1
