A Bunch of Logos;

Complementary

Krispy Kreme may have chosen these 2 colors because red can easily grab your attention, while green usually suggests freshness, and good.

Bank of America used the colors Red and Blue because they are the colors of the American Flag, the Country which they are based in.

Warm

Tesla choose the color red because it is synonymous with Energy, Courage, Competitiveness, and Innovation. Sense the company is mainly focused on innovating cars, and using electricity as opposed to gas, the color makes sense.

Adobe, a company who's main focus is their Creative Software may have chosen red not only because it grabs your attention, but also because of their power and influence in the industry.

Cool

Dunder Mifflin, a paper company, chose Blue for their logo because of Blue's association with power and stability. As a Paper Provider, other companies rely on them to provide paper, a necessary part of most businesses, so other companies want stability.

Olathe Northwest used the color royal blue, most likely to emphasize dominance, royalty, and knowledge. As a high school, they compete in sports, and academic areas, so the subtle, yet meaningful color was an appropriate choice.

Monochromatic

Photoshop has a monochromatic blue color scheme. They probably went with this kind of simplistic design, because of how simple, and appealing it looks in the task bar/dock. As an application, you want the design to be cool, and grab your attention, but at the same time blend in with the rest of your applications.

PayPal went with a simplistic monochromatic color scheme as well, choosing blue as their color. I think they choose blue as their color because as an online payment service their products need to be safe and secure, which is what the color blue corresponds to.

Triad Colors

Instagram's new logo utilizes the colors purple, red, and orange in order to make a visualizing appealing gradient. The red and yellow stand out on your home screen, but the purple calms down the 2 otherwise bright colors.

Mozilla went with 3 colors (blue, orange, and yellow) making it a triad color scheme. I think they went this direction because the orange and the yellow stands out, and grabs your attention, but the blue gives it a sort of clam feeling.

Music Video Reflection

Music Video Reflection Our assignment was to find a music video to re-create. We were required to first storyboard the music video we decided on, drawing out a picture for every scene to base our filming off of. We then scouted locations, and found actors and extras. We were in charge of coordinating all of our talent, as well as ourselves to find days to film and edit. A lot more pre-production went into this project, and I feel like it showed. Preparing before hand made us a lot more effective while filming, and made editing a breeze. Learning how to storyboard, and film scape, and beat sheet, etc. was all very useful, and I while it isn't the most fun thing in the world, I can now see the benefit of doing it. The finished product was very clean, and filming was made easier because we knew every scene and shot we needed, and were able to easily get them. Given how smoothly this project went, there isn't a lot I would change. The snow days weren't ideal, and unfo...

An Action Concept;

An Action Concept; Our 2nd project in eComm was creating an action sequence. All of my previous experience in film making had been creating scenes where the characters would talk to each other, but I had never done an action sequence, at least not one where all of the characters were moving quickly throughout their environments. Our project had several bumps that we had to hurdle including We filmed too little for the length that our film needed to be, because we underestimated how long our shots were. We had a couple places where we broke the 180 degrees rule, which had to be fixed in post production. We couldn't find a very effective way to stabilize our shots, so most of the stabilization had to be done in post production. Overall I think I've still got a lot to learn about how to do an action sequence, and I can use the problems we ran into in this concept to help strengthen my knowledge of film. Final Concept:

Ball Bouncing Gifs

A collection of Gifs. Our first project in the third strand of animation was to create a collection of balls bouncing using frame by frame animation. First we had to make a rough outline for our ball to follow (using the Pen tool) and copy/pasted the balls into a path. After that we began the long and tedious of converting all of the layers into frame. After that we exported as a gif. I learned how long and tedious frame by frame animation can be, as well as a much more streamlined way of creating all of the frames. After using Photoshop for animation, I also learned how to utilize the timeline functionality to animate. Next time we do any sort of frame by frame animation, I would create much more frames, as the make a much smoother looking video. In summary, frame by frame is a very long and tedious process, which take a lot of work, time, and definitely patience.
