Color Wheel



I learned about the different colors and what they represent. Red shows power, excitement, or love. Green means peaceful, serene, and simplistic. One of the shampoos I sketched was purple, which is creative and fun. The different colors influence different viewers and are intended for separate audiences. The designers of these logos and bottle designs must be thinking of what will be most appealing to the target audience.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is a way to communicate something to people in a creative way. Displays human behavior and includes words and images. Graphic design is used everywhere all the time. The picture made needs to communicate the idea of the product or service accurately. Think of all possibilities in all ways to express an idea to the viewer and don't think of just 1 idea and go for it. Explore numerous ways to create an emotion within the viewer when exposed to your product.

The Interview

During this course I learned many useful things including how to edit correctly, use shortcut keys including the spacebar that pauses and plays the video, shift z that allows you to see your whole video in the viewer,  J, K, and L which rewind, pause, and fast forward, and control I that sends your video out as a master file, which you can then use to upload to Youtube and Blogger. I learned that working with a camera takes time and people don't always agree on the same thing, which forces you to alter ideas and thoughts. I might stay in video development but I will have to see if I enjoy animation, graphic design and web design. I am happy that I found out about Final Cut Pro. It is a great tool to use when editing and I hope to get it for my personal use, but it is $300! Overall, I enjoyed my experience in video and might continue in the video strand, and I learned about Final Cut Pro and many shortcut keys and hope to use these skills later as I progress in my life.
