4th Quarter Group Project
For the 4th quarter project, my group decided to be named The Brady Mendoza's. Our product was the iCup and the iCup has the ability to refill with any drink you wish to have. Our slogan was quench your thirst. The process in creating was that our group decided to divide and conquer. So two people went to work on the graphics and they other two people went to work on the animation. We all edited a video and I made the website. I made the 2-D animation as well.
One professional skill I leaned was that if someone in your group won't do something to just step up and do it yourself so the you can get the project turned in on time. I also fathered my knowledge by building the website. I didn't understand how to do it at first but now I do.
Something I would've done differently wouldd be starting on thewebsite earlier and making sure that everyone is cooperative. I would keep the amount of time spent on each rotation the same because it gave the group time to talk and discuss what needed to be done.
The group presentation was a success in my eyes. We had gone last on the second day and we were a little worried that our website wouldn't be done in time. However we pushed through and got everything done. Something I would do differently is making sure that the group has time to meet with there team to figurer out what each person will say in the presentation.
Overall I personally think that this was a fun project. I would include a little bit more direction on building the website. The video's we challenging for a lot of people and a handful of us had to figure it out on our own. This really showed me that if someone isn't doing there part and the deadline is approaching quickly, that you will most likely have to pick up the slack.

My Personality Type
My Personality/ Summary
For this project, I had to take the Myers-Briggs personality test. This test contained sixty four questions. Each question was about little thing that you pre were to do or what you do. Answered could range anywhere from YES, yes, uncertain, no and NO. After taking this test, my personality type was ENTJ. This basically means that I take to leadership easily, have a very analytical way of thinking, and enjoy expanding my knowledge. Someone famous that shares my personality type is Alexander Hamilton.Description. Right on or not?
I feel that this describes my personality well. For me I like to think through things and plan what I am going to do in advance. The personality type ENTJ describes someone with a very analytical way of thinking. I prefer to think deeper into problems, therefore allowing me to think more analytically. After taking this test, I realized that many times I choose to look deeper into things and that can cause issues for other people.
Role?
The ENTJ personality type is also very much a leader. For me, I feel that I take to leadership roles easily. In my family, we all have a balance of leadership we need to take so it works out well.

Animation Bouncing Ball 2
Bouncing Ball Animation
The Big Steps?
In this project, I created a ball with a cat face on it in the layers tab and then using the timeline tool, I animated it. To make the ball animated, in each layer you had to move the ball a little bit each time. Then we had to use the selection tool to adjust the sizing as we started doing squash and stretch. After that, I used the timeline tool and put my layers in as frames and then duplicated them. After I duplicated the frames, I deleted unnecessary frames, added fades and timing, then saved the project. This project was relativly similar to the last one, however, we had to make an arch layer for our ball to follow.
What Did You Learn? About Photoshop?
I didn't really learn anything new for this project. The one thing I learned how to use was the paintbrush tool, and that's pretty straight forward.What Did You Think About It? How It Went?
I think this project was very cool for a second project. At first it was a little tricky trying to use the different tools for them all to work together the way I wanted them to at first.What Do Would You Do Differently Next Time?
Next time, I would definitly put in more detail into the background and then adjust the squash and strech so it looks cleaner. I would also change the way I ended the animation.What Do You Want To Learn More Of?
I want to learn more principals of animation and the differnet things you can do in Photoshop. I would also like to learn more tools and differnet programs you can use to make animations.

What Did You Learn? About Photoshop?
I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop for this project. This was my first time using photoshop, so I learned a lot of new skills. Some of the skills I learned were how to create new layers, use the select tool, and how to use the timeline tool.Squash and Stretch?
One of the principles that we learned was squash and stretch. Squash and stretch is either showing speed or showing impact. To show speed you had to elongate the ball. To show impact, you had to flatten the ball.Ease-In Ease-Out?
Ease-in and Ease-out was another principle we learned. Ease-in and ease-out shows when the ball has gravity upon it. At first, you have to show a regular sized ball in many layers that are close together. Then, you have to start to elongate the ball and have more space in between.What Did You Think About It? How It Went?
I think this project was very cool for a first project. At first, it was a little tricky trying to get use to everything in Photoshop, but after that, it was fairly easy.What Do Would You Do Differently Next Time?
Next time, I would definitely put in more detail into the background and then maybe change the color of the ball.What Do You Want To Learn More Of?
I want to learn more principals of animation and the different things you can do in Photoshop.
