My name is Jaidan, and I am 14 years old. I don’t not have much design experience. I have designed a short video game and created a web page. I feel pretty comfortable creating something once I learn the skills. I started getting into video games when my friend introduced me to Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. From there I got my own PS3 and started playing video games. One of my friends was going to a game design camp so I thought that I would try it also. I was really confused at first, but after awhile I got the hang of it. From then on I really liked creating games and making animations. Some new skills that I have learned is the clone tool, spot healing brush tool, and also the different filters that I can use. I have really been learning a lot and I can't wait till I can master all the tools in Photoshop and create some good art work. In the past couple of weeks we have been working with Adobe Illustrator and I feel pretty comfortable with it. I have practiced a lot with the pen tool and I have created some good pieces of artwork. I have also been working with the shape builder tool a lot and I feel pretty comfortable with that tool. We just started on Adobe Premier and for the past couple weeks we worked with Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate. I like After Effects but I hate Animate. Adobe premier is pretty easy so far but my computer crashes sometimes with that software so that is annoying. I still have a lot of work to do and I need to get caught up in some stuff. Everything is fun but can be very stressful at times. |
Oh boy! It has been a tough couple of weeks and I still have a lot to do. We have worked with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Affects, Adobe Animate, and Adobe Premiere. We have done a lot and I have done a lot. I feel most comfortable with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere. My skills have improved from even the past couple of weeks and especially from the beginning of the year. I have made it this far and it is almost over so I might as well finish the race!
3D Modeling! 3D Modeling is actually so much more fun than I thought. I actually enjoy making objects like a spaceship or a cartoon head. The format of the software, 3Ds Max is fairly simple but we did have a tutorial on it. I struggle with the keyboard shortcuts and all of the tools like extrude, bevel, and insert tool, my shapes sometimes just don't come out right. I enjoy it and can't wait to do more.
We are finally almost done with school! I can not wait for summer. I have worked my butt off in this class and my grades actually turned out better than I expected. I have learned so much since the beginning of the year till now. We came from Adobe Spark which is basically adding images to a canvas to creating 3D objects from scratch and animating them. I feel proud and so should my classmates.
