Summary of the Eleventh Week

Finally! It is the very last week! YES! lol Just kidding. I will be taking this class again to better understand the programs used. I am still extremely confused. But hey I tried. For most of the class we got our Dreamweaver websites ready and the presented them. I of course missed last week so I had no idea what I was doing. So basically I tried to do the best I could. As everyone was presenting their websites...I realized how bad my website was. But hey I tried my best with out ever creating a website.

Summary Of The Ninth Week

Last week due to my car breaking down and not being able to get a ride to class, last week I was absent. I missed a class that I would have found fun, and interesting. Last week Mrs. Brown went over InDesign, and our project were we make a magazine cover for the next upcoming issue of our favorite magazine. In the beginning of class of the Ninth week (this week), everyone else was working on their last minute touchs on their magazine covers, while I was still trying to figure out how to fit my image into the space provided. This week if I can get Adobe running on my laptop, I can try to figure out Indesign and work on this project, if not I will have to find some free time after one of my classes this week. At the end of class, everyone that had their magazine covers ready, presented their work in front of the class. After that we watched a movie on a program that I dont remember. I cant learn by a movie or slide show that I can barely read on a projector. I have to do it hands on. I am starting to feel that I may have to take this course again, because I am having a difficult time remembering what to do in each program. I learn at a slow pace and I have a horrible attention span. All in all I DO NOT blame Mrs. Brown for this, I just learn differently then others. Here's my magazine cover, but for some reason its coming out funny...

Summary Of The Eighth Week

ABSENT--- But I drew an idea of how I wanted my Magazine cover to look like...

Summary Of The Seventh Week

Our class began with Ryan Lowe as our instructor. His lesson was on in Adobe After Effects. We first used Adobe Photoshop to bring multiple layers of pictures and text. Then Ryan showed us how to save all the layers together so that way it can be moved into Adobe After Effects properly. This is where I got lost. I couldn't figure out which selections did what. As the class was ending and I was still confused, Ryan saved a introduction slide for us, so that way we ca reflect back on it. That is when Mrs. Brown came back into class and went over our midterm grades and what she was missing from us.

Summary Of The Sixth Week

In the beginning of class we went over the announcements, blog sites reviews and critiques. After that since no one would step-up to the plate, Ragan called names to present our logo designs. My logo design was made for a hair product company with my initials "K.M.H." There are three purple stars. After each person presented their logo, the class gave their feed back on what they liked about it and what they disliked about that persons logo. Then we had a short break and preceded to our Mid-Term Exam. After we finished our Mid-Term Exam, we went over our class assignment with CS2 InDesign. We were to pick our favorite magazine and come up with the next months cover sheet. It will be interesting what other students will come up with. I think this assignment will be fun! : )

Summary Of The Fifth Week....

Its hard to believe that is is the fifth week of school. Time flies by so quickly. This week I was introduced to CS2 Illustrator. Last week I was unfortunately absent. But I was able to get the class assignment. We were to create a logo. I for one made a logo but it wasn't what Mrs. Ragan was looking for, so I re-created a few logos until it worked to her approval. My first logo have to much of the logo and to little of the text. I kept trying to work with it until I gave up on my original design and decided to start all over. At the end of class Ragan explained to us what we need to know for our mid-term exam and our assignment.

Summary Of The Fourth Week....

ABSENT

Summery Of Week 2 & 3

The third week of class is when I was actually starting to get a grip on things. In the beginning of class we were informed with strict comment from one of the administrators that we were not keeping up with our Blogs. I of course, still a blonde, had no idea about this. The only person I can blame for that misunderstanding is myself, because I did not read the syllabus. So today I am writing both summaries for week two and three. When the class was ready to begin, we continued to work on our projects. I was still lost from last week but a few friendly classmates and the instructor helped me finish my slide show.
