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.
