Cadillac Daddy Logo



For this logo I had to use Photoshop since my Illustrator wouldn't work. I used a lot of shapes to make the logo as well as drop shadow for effect. The car is a trace of a creative commons picture.





Melody: I liked the idea behind her logo but I thought that she should have avoided the blurred effect. I think it would have been better without the blur effect. I liked the positioning of the records and it really provided good balance. 

JP: I like the colors used in the logo. I think it could be improved m=by making font bigger and arranging it differently. I also think it would look better and take away the tv look by removing the base.

Brandon: I like the crest looking logo in the top left. I think it would be better without car or put car inside of shape and blend it.

Molly: I like the layout and how the are both the car and text are arranged same. I think the car effect needs to be redone.

Kelsey: I like the font on the logo and the red oval. I don't really like the stars on the logo.

Whitney: I like the shape and shape effects to the logo as well as the colors used. I don't really like the font but I think it would look really good with the text slanted up and straight.

Anna: I like the hand drawn feel to it. I really like the triangle shape with the smaller triangle effect. I think the text could be centered better and the triangles could be more symmetric.  

Rin: I like the colors and the shadow behind the car. I think colors could possibly be a little different and car could be retraced to get cleaner edges.

I have always wanted to try building a app for a phone. Of course I have messed around with AppGeyser before but it wasn't exactly the same. MIT App Inventor provides a lot more tools to help create apps. I learned about the set coding for apps and how code has to be set for whenever buttons are placed. Although it does have advanced tools in it and does have drag and drop coding it isn't necessarily a really hard program to work in. Since it is a drag and drop approach to coding it is pretty easy for anyone to use.

Face Trace



Here is my face trace project we did a while back in class. I used the pencil tool to trace the face. I used the color selector to pull colors from original image. I then used the paint bucket tool to fill in the parts of the trace.

Tinkercad

    In class this past week we were introduced to a web browser based program called Tinkercad.  
    We learned how to create 3D images virtually that can be printed with a 3D Printer.
    Some of the tutorials we did included making a name keychain and model of a house.
