week 13

Assignment- the assignment for this week was to learn how to use iweb.

Craft-  I chose a template that I liked and changed it up to make more my own. I added things and took some stuff out. I also changed some of the colors. Finally I added some text to explain more about my art work. On one pages I talked about myself, visual communications, and about each of the assignments. 

Composition- Last time we were told to have our sites ready. Were to talk about ourselves, the class, and our art projects. I set up the page and began working on my new site. 

Concept- By making a website we are able to keep track of everything we did in class. Its a way to explain our art work as well. 

week 12

Assignment- the assignment for this week was to put the finishing touches by adding dialogue by using comic life.

Craft- we made our story better by adding dialogue which makes the story a bit easier to understand and gives it more life. The border was a black color to give the story a scary theme. We then put several pictures on each page and had another critique with our classmates. We voted on the comic we felt was the best and was the most complete. The group that won was allowed to miss two classes without any penalty. The rest of us had to continue working on our comic until it was complete.

Composition- we ended up changing our original colors because they were too dark and nothing in the pictures stood out. Instead we used blue and yellow as our main colors and this made our comic better and easier to understand just by looking at it. 

Concept- the purpose of using comic life was that it gives the story a more comic feel, obviously, but it also makes the story more interesting. By putting everything together the story is now complete. 

week 11

Assignment-  The assignment for this week was to continue working on our comic. We were also supposed to use two colors and use comic life for our final draft.

Craft- After having a critique we realized what we needed to fix and how we could make it better. By using comic life, it makes the project a lot better and more exciting. 

Composition- We chose to use these photos because we felt they get our message across and the colors make the image pop. They compliment each other well.

Concept-  Our concept is to get our message across without confusing people. We are also competing with our classmates to see who has the best overall comic and the winning team gets a day off. 

week 10

Assignment- The assignment for this week was to continue working on our comic strip. All we have left to do is to play with the colors on photoshop to make the pictures look better.

Craft- We took our pictures and put our story together then our classmates had the chance to look at our story. After reading some of their comments, we decided to change some minor things to make our comic look even better.

Composition- For this, as mentioned above, we took our picture and had our classmates look at them. After realizing that some of our pictures needed work, we went back and played with them on photoshop so that the comic looks better.

Concept- This was the first time that we were allowed to have partners for an assignment and it worked out well. This was a good idea because by having partners we were allowed to expand on many idead we had. Also, it made the project easier because we were able to split the work up and focus on the part we were given.

week 9

Assignment- the assignment for this week was to pick pictures that we though would look best in our comic layout.

Craft- for this we simply took the pictures that we thought would look best in our comic and put them together to see how they would look.

Composition- We had most of our pictures taken but we still needed to retake some of them. After retaking some of the pictures we played with them to make some parts stand out more.

Concept- In this comic strip we are trying to say that one should never jump to conclusions without knowing what is happening first. We are trying to get our idea across without the use of words.
