My areas of strength in graphic design is sketching. I like to sketch a lot and because of that I have bettered myself. I also feel like my presentations skills are very high. This quarter we worked on presentation skills and we presented our personal logos.
An area I need to improve on is using Adobe Illustrator better. I struggled sometimes to get what I drew in my sketch book into Illustrator. I also think I could improve on talking out more. Another thing I could improve on is expressing my ideas better.
I loved how much we got to sketch and just have fun. I personally love to sketch so I found this really fun. I also loved how we could work together and sketch.
One thing I would change differently is to have a little bit more time to sketch and work with Adobe Illustrator. Several times I had to come in after school and work on my projects. I also had to come in early and work.
Overall I learned that before you do anything in AdobeI Illustrator, you have to sketch it out first. I also learned how to work with Adobe Illustrator.
One goal I would like to set for next semester is to try and understand the program more. I would also like to try and do my best.

e9 Final-Web Design
To start my web design experience, I had to download videos that would show me how to work with Adobe Dreamweaver. I then got a photo of myself of of my phone and put into Photoshop. Then I cropped it down to size. After I had my picture in, I continued to watch the videos and learn more about what it was that I had to. While watching the videos I would go through and do the work on my project.
This project took pretty long. I am currently still working on this and am using my time wisely to get my work done. It is a bit hard to get all of the videos in in a short amount of time because they are around ten to fifteen minutes long. Overall I think I have used my time wisely.
A challenge I faced was that my computer wouldn't load sometimes. Another challenge I faced was trying to figure out what I was doing in Dreamweaver. I eventually got my computer fixed and started to understand how Dreamweaver works. It was pretty challenging for me personally because I had to switch computers back and forth.
I learned how to create a basic website and I also learned how to work with Dreamweaver. For me, Dreamweaver is pretty confusing. But after a while I started to get used to it. Another thing I learned was how to work with Photoshop. I had never used Photoshop before so it was pretty fun.
My overall opinion on the web design process is that it's okay. I haven't finished my web design project yet, so from what I have done, my final outcome is pretty good. I like the idea of creating your own website but, it is very time consuming. This project was pretty fun to experience.

Personal Logo
My personal logo is the word love formed into a heart. I feel that this accurately represents me, because I love Love. It was difficult to think of a logo that would work for me but I was just messing around and created the heart. I used the color red because it's a color that can associate with love. I personally really like my logo.
The sketching process what really easy. Started to draw the "L" in cursive for the word love and decided to loop it into a heart shape. Then inside of the heart I wrote out the rest of the word love in cursive. I used typography in this project along with a symbol. Sketching this took a bit of time to try and get it were I wanted it and get it to how I wanted it to look. I also use the color red when sketching to bring out the logo more.
