For my single color design i made a moon and a sun, with some cut out stars on the moon. And for my multi color design i did a Hawaiian flower. I used illustrator to make both of my designs. I really liked how my designs turned out on illustrator but not so much when they were printed. The cutter didn't cut my designs too well so i had to cut  most of it with an extractor knife. My moon had some text but it was too small and i couldn't cut it.

For this assignment I was just going for a simple eye sketch. Then I decided to add other features to make it look better. For this assignment I used Photoshop and the pen and tablet to draw. Since i was only doing a sketch, i liked how it turned out, i focused a lot more on the eye and added more detail, so the eye is my favorite part of the drawing.

For this logo, I was trying to accomplish something a bit different. When I went to the WACT webpage, I saw that they had several pictures of Tacoma and one where Mt. Rainier was showing. So for my design I wanted to add something else rather than just having the world, so I added Mt. Rainier so my logo had something that represented Tacoma/Washington. To create my logo I used adobe illustrator. Out of all my sketched designs I liked this one better and very happy with how it turned out. I think I did pretty well on creating this logo.

What were you trying to accomplish? For this assignment I was trying to place and find Photoshop brushes that related and went well with the image I was using and also to animate them. What technical skills did you use to create the project?   I used Photoshop to add the brushes, After Effects to animate the brush layers, and Adobe Premiere to add music to my video. How do you feel you did on the project? I think the overall video looked good and I think I did pretty well on it. I was thinking about choosing a different images because I couldn't find a lot of brushes that related to my subject (puppies). Most of the brushes I found were paws. I think the video could've looked better if I had different brushes like dog bones/toys. 

What were you trying to accomplish? I had never made a gif before, so i was trying to go for something simple that would be easy to make. My goal was to basically make the heart look like it was broken or cut in half.    What technical skills did you use to create the project? For this gif I used Photoshop brushes and Photoshop Timeline. How do you feel you did on the project? I think I did good on this project. It's very simple but I actually ended up liking how the gif turned out. 

My name is Juana Orozco, but my close friends and family usually call me Juanita. I'm a student at Pierce College and I'm currently working towards getting my  Associate in Digital Design . After I finish school I want to work as either a graphic designer or photographer. I like to paint and draw a lot. I love photography and I like to take pictures of nature, people, and of my dog. I usually spend my free time taking my dog out for walks and taking pictures of whatever I can find that looks cool. I like to use my mind and be creative, which is why I chose digital design as my career choice.
