] This is our second video in which we have uploaded to youtube but this is also our last and final animation sadly. so far animation has been my favorite of all the e9 classes Im off to video making next so lets see what can happen!

Hey shameless plug here we made a website in e9 a few days ago and i thought i would put it on here in case anyone wanted to see it file:///Volumes/e9/2nd%20Hour/Lofquist%20hour%202/Gramling%20Joshua/e9WebProjectQuarter2/joshuagramlinghome.html

This is the dog house we made using the same concepts as the table and chairs but with this we made a dog house we created the house to exact measurements but the rest is completely original and creative i find sketchup to be good when precise but kinda hard to use

This is our first project in sketchup. in this project we were tasked with creating a table and chairs any way we like. i decided to go with a wood theme because i feel it looks nice. we started by creating the legs of the table and or chairs. we took a rectangle and cutting out of it then using the follow me tool to create the cut out around all sides. then we created the flat top and arced back of the chairs and colored them. then the table it was basically the same the legs of the chairs but with a circular top. and to finish it all up i added a vase and some placemats to the table to add some more detail

Using the 10 words that i brainstormed earlier in the year we finally put them to use. in this animation we created a word art of our 10 descriptive words and blended them into a animation. we started from the end result and worked backwards. but dont take my word for it see for yourself.

        This is a frame animation we made in photoshop. we started by typing our name into a space 800 wide and 200 tall (pixels) then we slowly erased backwards and added frames. after every single letter was erased backwards we created a frame timeline animation then reversed the frames. then i added the bevel and emboss and tweened them to create the transition between the regular and the finished letters. thus creating the illusion that the letters are being drawn in. i really like this style of animation and i cant wait to do more.

This is The bouncing ball with arcs project. to create this we started by making the frames aligned with arcs over time the ball gradually sped up and we showed this by using squash and stretch. Next we put it in a timeline and animated it. it took some ironing out but i think it turned out well. i hope that there is more to photoshop and animation than this i cant wait! Here is some more information. http://idearocketanimation.com/1678-principles-of-animation-ease-in-and-ease-out/    

My Personality type is ISTJ. istj type people are the people that like to keep things in line and organized and have a explanation for everything relying on facts rather than the imagination. The type that i got on the test sort of kinda relates to me. i like to keep everything simple and to have a explanation for everything but i like have imagination. this kinda helps explain my role in everything when friends have a question i answer it. There have been some people that think that i have no imagination and is like a robot but thats really not the case. By doing this assignment i have learned that there is many many many types of people out there with their own places in society. I am a golden retriever, good at making friends. very loyal. retriever personalities do not like big changes. they look for security. can be very sensitive. very caring. has deep relationships, but usually only a couple wants to be loved by everyone. looks for appreciation. works best in a limit

About The Animation  This is my first animation. we used photoshop to create this. we started by making the beginning layers so the background,ground layer, and the starter ball layer. then we added the principles of squash and stretch the closer to the ground the ball got the thiner and longer it got to create the illusion of speed. then the ball squished as soon as it hit the ground then bounced backup looping infinetly. I look forward to creating more animations in photoshop in the future Learn more about squash and stretch! Evl.uic.edu Squash and Stretch

   In this article Natasha singer a journalist for the New York Times researches and talks about how the things that you post on social media could negatively impact your college or job application seeing as Admissions officers and employers check the social media sites of the applying person.    in this article there were many things that caught me off guard and or surprised me such as in the article when it states " at brookline high school in Massachusetts, juniors are taught to delete alcohol related posts or photographs and to create socially acceptable email adresses. one juniors original email address was "bleedingJesus," This caught me completely off guard who would do such a thing to begin with let alone the internet.     There were also a few things that confused me whilst i read this article. to start with "we thought, this is not the ind of person we want in our community." Angel B. Perez, Pitzer's dean of admission and financial aid, t

                                Photoshop Projects E9  This is the first photoshop project we did. in this project we started by taking a picture of the front of the school then adding a picture of the school compass onto the background changing the opacity then finally adding a text of ONW to finish the photoshopped picture This is the second photoshop project in this project we took a plain picture of a monarch butterfly and edited out the symmetrical parts of the wings and changed it to matching colors to create a amazing looking rainbow butterfly. then i added copies of pieces of the wings to create a illusion that the wings are moving even thought this is not animated This is the third Photoshop project in this project we took the same picture of the front of the school that was in the first project and added a text mask with Northwest as type in side of the box. i then changed the background of the text mask to a blue and black gradient and added a white outl

This was our second photoshop project in which we had a little more freedom and choice in what exactly we did. we took a base butterfly image and changed each part of the orange on the wings of the butterfly and swapped them with a color of our choice whilst keeping it symmetrically pleasing. It makes me feel like this is some kind of super powered butterfly and is unnatural but still recognizable as a butterfly. i look forward to creating more creative and interesting photoshop projects

This was our first photoshop project. we combined 2 images into one and then edited it. we started by formating the image of our school and the compass logo to the correct size about 40 percent and 20 percent. then we combined them into one image puting the compass in the middle of the image of our school. then we changed the opacity of the compass to fade into the background. then i added the letters ONW in impact 360 font, white text to the image  and stretched it out to fill the page. then changed the opacity of the letters to make it fade into the background creating a single image made out of many diffrent parts i hope to have more fun creating and editing things in photoshop in projects to come.

This is my personal logo. i started by taking the fundamentals we learned about and making more basic shapes that fit into them. i ended up with a contrasting colors kind of diamond. i then tried copying them and trying out diffrent colors i liked the blue and black the most. i then tried making it sideways from the original away. i liked the original the most. i found that this shows symmetry and balance making it a perfect simple yet says some things about me kind of logo. i started with a circle as a base because it simply shows perfection and unity making it a great way to show symetry and balance. i would definatly make more logos and designs with a base as a circle

The score of this project was to learn the anatomy of a font and apply it to the font that we got from the test that everyone took. First i started by Typing my name in the dot matrix font and sizing it to about 200 font size. i then copied the font and moved it to create a shadow. i then labeled the spur, terminal,aperture,bowl,and tails respectively on the font. I learned that there is many cool things that you can do with fonts especially in illustrator.i would've done more than my name if i had done something diffrent. if i did something the same i would make the shadow again because i feel it adds depth. that i can make shadows of things in illustrator by duplicating it and making it black and moving one of them to the front and forward a bit.i feel this was a very fun and creative project that showed that art and graphic design doesn't just have to be shapes it can be letters too

What is graphic design Graphic design is a digital art form. creating logos and other kinds of digital art i feel is very interesting. i Love art in middle school i took it all 3 years i enjoyed it very much but i felt that something was missing. I also very much loved working on the computer i spent most of my spare time now and days playing games and whatching  youtube videos so why not combine those two things i love into one.

Better color wheel. I Created this Color wheel by cloning a elipse then using the rotate tool to rotate the coned elipse into diffrent positions i then colored each elipse a primary secondary or tertiary colors this uses the colors of the color wheel and i feel that the spiral creates some of motion so your eyes can follow around it easily
