Quarter 4 Project

For this project, we were assigned to create a product and to create advertisements, logos, graphics, and much more to promote this product. We chose to do the Warp Watch, a watch that allows you to travel forward and backward through time. This project took the majority of our 4th quarter. It was challenging for me to come back to animation, given it was my very first rotation in e9 and it was difficult to recall some parts of the software. I learned how to cope with this, by sharing my ideas with someone who did have some better experience to make my ideas come to life. I also learned its important to ask questions and get a better idea of what you're doing. We changed our logo idea multiple times and had to simplify our advertisement to make it fit in 30 seconds. I am proud of what my team and I accomplished. 

Often times when i would finish something I would ask my teammates for their opinion on what I had done so i new what i could improve on. My team and I accomplished a lot this quarter. Outside of class I would look at everything with a different perspective, I was thinking of ideas for logos and how to make an efficient advertisement.

I thrive in graphic design, that is where my strong suit is. Although ultimately they thought my design was too complex for our product, so we went with Kate's. Of course I was disappointed but i realize it was what would be most beneficial to my team. I definitely struggle in web and animation, and could use improvement in that aspect.

Overall, I loved being able to collaborate in a group. It held me more accountable to what I have learned this year and made me more confident in my abilities. I feel like next year you should try dedicating a day to having all the e9 classes combine and explain it all together, it would create less confusion. I know different teachers gave out different information, it may be easier just explain it once so everyone understood. This makes me more sure for next year, and makes me look forward to continuing with ecom. Next year i hope to get even better and video editing, and graphic design. I have loved being in Ecom this year, I am so glad i applied for this and transferred schools even though it was difficult i truly know i made the correct choice.
