Lab #13 Reflection

-
This lab was another lab that required the work of a quiz on adobe illustrator. We were given some tasks and we had to complete them using the knowledge we had due to reading the chapter. It taught us how to make curved lines using the pen tool and how we could manipulate them to how the quiz expected them to be done. Since the file is saved as a pdf I cant really post it here for you to see but I can describe it. First off we were given the task of making a line with 5 points that had no curves like a sharp mountain. The next assignment was to make that line into curvy lines like rounded tops of a mountain. Then we copied the line and reflected it directly below it to connect them and make an enclosed shape in grey. The next task was harder then the rest of them. We had to reproduce the logo for a Paralympic Games as accurate as possible.  It was hard for the curves to look alike and it took a lot of effort to do it. Then we had to make a shape that looked like a drop which was very easy and required some curvy lines that connect. Then I had to make it small and copy it 4 times, and put it inside of a square that was rotated to look like a trapezoid. It looked like a diamond with 4 flower petals inside. It was so easy to do but looks great! A web designer needs these skills to be able to create ideal shapes in their mind that they couldn't replicate from someone else. In order for someone to be creative they use their own thoughts and ideas. This can certainly help with that because it allows web designers to create their own custom shapes they way they imagine it and want it to look like.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
