The project assignment that we had was to create a product and design a company as well as a website, commercial, logo, and animation. This project took all of our time in quarter 4. Some challenges we faced were working in a group, difficulty with software, and planning. Along the way, I learned more about using Premiere Pro and more about animating in Adobe Photoshop. Some feedback I got on the commercial was that, in the future, I should not have someone unseen offscreen talking to the character on screen. I am, for the most part, happy with the work I have done in quarter 4.

I used all of the class time allowed to complete this project. When I finished early, I checked in on and communicated with my team to see the progress they had made. I also offered to help with anything they were behind on. Outside of class, I researched the software we have been using. I also worked on learning about graphic design.
I think my strengths are in graphic design and animation. These are the strands of e-Comm I enjoy most, but they are also the strands in which I am most experienced. To maximize my strengths, I work on my own graphic design and animation projects at home. I think this is helpful, because I can find new techniques.

I think I need to improve in the video strand of e-Comm. I can work on leveling my shots, steadying the tripod, and using different angles. During this project, we all worked together to get the shots necessary to complete the commercial. Editing the video footage was the easiest part of the commercial.
My favorite part of this quarter was getting to go through each strand of e-Comm again. If I were to do this quarter over again, I think I would change the logo and color scheme. I learned how to work better in a group and how to make more complicated animations in Photoshop. A goal I would like to set for next year is to make my projects more complex and neater. Overall, I think this was a fun and interesting project to do.
