Brochure project/ Respect for all

Hello everyone!
We had  a project to do and it was about Respect for all. So we had to pick a topic that you think is important and make a brochure about it. So people will know about it and be aware or help if possible. My topic was about child abuse. I loved doing the project and it was kind of heart breaking. The information that i found was really hard for me and there are a lot more children that gets abused then you think. Also this project was very important to us and for the people.

For this project we used in-design and we learned how to make brochures. It's important for us because if we get a job we might need to do brochures so we can give the papers to the new people so they can read and learn more about the job or what the brochure was made for. This project was really important i would like to spread the words to everyone if possible. This project was fun as well. We actually helped each other out and we had a lot of free time during the project.


Lab 10: Printing a Booklet

Hello everyone!
Our lab 10 was kinda confusing but it was easy if you follow instruction. Lab 10 was basically about how to print out a booklet. You print a regular size page but it is used like a spread so it comes like a small book. Our task was to create a booklet of 8 pages. It need to have a front and back page and the middle pages we had nothing to do so we put a specific shape that we like and print our name. But we learned how to make a booklet so if we need to make a booklet its the same process but we will have to write more in it. This is important because we need this skill in the future to make booklets and its important too because in most of jobs now they advertise by a booklet and a booklet gives more information and explains more so it has more value.

Lab 9 Animated brochure

Hello everyone!
Mrs Ramirez Gave us a project about brochure and we did a pretty good job in it but this time it was even more fun. We get to play around with our brochure so we can make them animated. For my animation i used Fade in, Slide from left, pulse and rotate. It made the brochure really nice. And we also made the brochure flip able like you open a book.

These skills are important because now we know how to make animated brochure we can actually work on making brochure or get a job in designing brochure. We also need this skills in the future. Because we might be doing more brochures. And we will be getting professional jobs and most of them requires you to know In Design work and brochures.
This is the actual brochure but it was animated so you can open it like a book and flip the page but for some reason i wasn't able to put the animated files so i put a screen shot of the brochure!

Metropolitan museum of art

Hello everyone!
We had a wonderful class trip. It was in the Metropolitan museum of art. In there we saw a lot of artworks. They had statues, painting, and other figures of art. Some of them are about certain culture and some are made because of interest and curiosity. In this trip i learned many things. Specially i learned about the Islamic mosaics. They are pretty beautiful and guide explained what it means. They day Islamic mosaics are blue color and it has flowers in it to show that the masque is a beautiful and peaceful place. Also in Iran they don't have much water because its desert so wild life is rare and the weather is dry and the mosaic is there to show the nice things that god created and that it makes them feel better just by looking at it.

We also learned about pixels and pix-cells. They are interesting. Pix-cells is an animal that is covered by round marbles and they are in different sizes. Also there was this painting where the painter had to draw a picture by pixels which was amazing and it was probably hard. They did it by their own hand and now in modern days pixels are used everywhere. In our phone. TV and other electronic devices. we also learned about how the colors effect a picture and different shape of tools bring different effects. We can use this in our visual designing class. We work with color and edit pictures this is one of the most crucial subject in visual designing. After seeing many pictures and the variety of colors that shows different effect we can use that to improve our creation.

I loved going to the museum. It was my first time going to metropolitan museum. I have seen other things that is similar to this museum in my country but over here most of the work is not locked in glass. I also liked how the whole class was enjoying and it was fun. My favorite part was that we get to discuss about each artwork and share our opinion but i hated to stand up and walk for the whole time we were in museum. I would take my parents to see the museum
because there are certain things that i think they should know but they don't know and so i can explain the importance of the works that happened in the past. The modern map is slight different then the paper map. If you zoom in the map there are more details pop up in the image.

CTE EXPO

Hello Everyone!
We had a wonderful day during the CTE EXPO. CTE EXPO is a way to introduce the freshmen students to the CTE academy. We show them our work that we have done and try to persuade them to join the best CTE Academy which is Web Designing. CTE EXPO is important because freshmen get to choose their favorite class and we get to learn our interviewing skills and practice. During the CTE EXPO freshmen come and we have to explain our project  and how the class system works so they get excited to join the class. For me Nothing was really wrong I was shy for the first few minutes and after that i got over it. Also this year the freshmen are rude and shy. They show no interest in the class. I tried to talk to them first. I kept eye contact and I shook every person i met and talked to. This is good because this shows that you are not nervous and it's also a great way to start a conversation. Personally The CTE EXPO helps me in many ways. Like it gave me an opportunity to practice my interviewing skills which i will be needing in future when i need a job or when i am going to for something. Also It taught us how to work as a team. Like I talk to a freshmen and then i hand that freshmen to one of the juniors or seniors so they have a chance to go to the juniors or seniors and talk to them.
