Nature Man Challenge By: Kenia Diaz In one of the e-Comm branches (graphic design) something very important to work with is photoshop so when we where assigned to use what we learned in photoshop to design a so called 'nature man' we got started and let our imaginations run wild. For my project I decide to work more one the background instead of the actual man. This is because everyone was going to do something with his hair of his jacket so knowing this I knew that not many people where gonna do something with the background. for the background I used a water color picture bring a pop of color because the everything else was either white or brown. Not much to work with. After bringing some color to the picture I decide to edit the shirt and use a picture of a house and lower the opacity just a tad to help show the buttons and the sew lines. For this I also used the patch tool to take a few things that wouldn't look to good on the final product. Having a require...

Graphic Design Photoshop  By Kenia Diaz This year in e-Communication things are changing last year I got to try all three of the different stands, well this year I had to chose which two I wanted to go in and then this year I will have to chose what strand I want to join and yup you guessed it my two strands of choice are video and graphic design. So lets get down to business and get started with this blog post. Photoshop Fundamentals  In graphic design their is a lot more paying attention to the little details than I thought their would be but I mean who doesn't love a bit of a challenge. When I think of photoshop the first thing that comes to mind is models looking very thin but that not all that photoshop is used for. In graphic design class I learned that it can be helped to cover up things that don't belong or like a paint stain that does not look good you get the jist. Photoshop is more complicated than you might think you have to know that you can't just...

Self Portrait Video By: Kenia Diaz Hi everyone I'm back from my long summer break (which if I may add it was to long). So to get back in the groove of e-Comm our first video was to record our self for two minuets and in those two minutes we had to describe ourself. In my self-portrait, I chose to represent myself by recording myself to a dance mashup. You may be thinking "dancing how dose that represent you that makes no scene". Just by watching this you may not understand but after reading this you may just tap your head to a little groovy dance. I did myself portrait to my dancing because these songs are fond memory for me. I used these song for my quinceanera which I had to in may to celebrate my coming of age. me and my dad used these song to dance because it is tradition to have a dance with the father to represent that my childhood had ended and thank you for standing by me and guiding me into the young women I am. in my video you can notice that i had ...

Quarter 4 Project The time has come for me to write my last e9 blogger post, but don't worry I will be here next year for more projects and more exiting ones! Four the last quarter we where put in group and asked to make a product and that we did. I was put in a of three other people Ethan Gross(on the left), Tyler Stockwell(far right), and Nathan Somion(second to the left). As a group we created a product called Micro Mobile. As a group we had to make a website, commercial, two animation, a logo, and a slogan and if that wasn't hard enough then we hd the deadline of 5 weeks. Challenge accepted.  We spent one week on each project and in the end we had to present to the whole first hour e9. together we strived harder and made an Instagram and a Snapchat you guys can add and follow us @micro.mobile and keep up with this product.  e-Comm Adventures  This year I have learned so much its insane. I had never known of so many different things that are out in to make ...

CSS & CARP CARP is back and it has gotten better than last time! Last time if you remember we CARPifyed the Homecoming schedule for this year. Its 2018 and we are carpifying a poem. Even if you don't do graphic design you would still have the common sense to fix the basic problems right? When in e-Comm we go a little beyond then what normal people go. In this picture you can tell that the line in the far right shouldn't be all the way back their its to far from its stanza the dog  it should be moved a little back to tie the words a pop instead it gives the dog a body, of words. As you can see their are more than a few problems in this very rough draft of what e-comm remain to look high quality. Carpifying  As you can see from the picture to the left we where off to set a standard for how we redesign products to look e-Comm quality which is the best one it can be. We left the dog on all we did was just move it father to the right. We also enter aligned the tit...

AB Sequence  Sketching Out  For probably one of my last video projects in e9 I wanted to make it unforgettable video and this was surly the way to go. As you can tell by the video above this video was about Brynna needing to go to the potty. Little did Brynna know she was going on a wild goose chase. The idea had come to me when all the sudden someone said the word bathroom, it was then when it hit me a bathroom scene. We knew it couldn't be like any other bathroom scene we HAD to make it one of a kind, and thats what it is.  Filming  As soon as we got the okay it was straight to filming. We decided to get the begging of the filming. we had some scenes made as we filmed and others as we filmed. Its pretty clear we had fun filming a few scene. As a group we all had fun with two of the, the boys bathroom scene and the stair scene. We had a couple hiccups as we filmed but the product was overall good. Editing After filming everything we had to start ...

INFJ In e-Comm to prepare for the big finale project we have to take a few test to see who we are or are not compatible. We took a Myers-Briggs personality type test and the results were spot on. My results were 31% introvert, 31% intuitive, 44% feeling, and 16% judging in the end I was a INFJ. The results were very helpful to see that not just I see myself the way I do. The scary part is that my personality type is just like Osama bin Laden and Adolf Hitler, but it felt a little comforting that Mahatma Gandhi and Thomas Jefferson also had my personality so maybe to negatives make a positive in a way. Spot On After taking this personality test I realized that these characteristics do very well describe me. It went into depth of how I would do things without thinking of them and realized it wasn't hurting me instead it brung me and others together.  The more I would read I would slowly learn more about myself and how I only do things if they have a reason or a purpose.
