Communication technology class today was the second day to work on our audio projects. My group continued hashing out our product profile, and determining the target market. This part of the audio assignment was really very strenuous and annoying. I feel that we should have more time to work on the actual recording of the commercial, because there are numerous technical things that one has to figure out. It's true that we need to have a good idea of the audience that is targeted and the information about the product or service. However, spending an unnecessary amount of time on these things is not efficient. As a result, i volunteered to finish the target market and product profile for homework so that we could start the script for the commercial.

Today in communication technology class was the commencement of our audio project. This project was to be the third and final assignment for this round of audio, video, and graphics. This audio project required us to create a radio advertisement for an imaginary product or service, which was aimed at a specific audience. My group decided to create a "zero gravity bumper car" service called "Shubang". Our first order of business for the project was to find and record several definitions of jargon related to our project. As per usual, we split up the definitions for homework. Tomorrow, we will be getting top work with the target market and product profile of Shubang. Mr. Tammik says that the audio project is the easier of the projects, so hopefully my group will do well.

Day Forty=P

Today was the FINAL day to finish our graphics projects. Our graphics group had mostly merging and spelling names out left, so we were not very behind. We were able to get everything done fairly quickly, although we did run into some trouble with the technicalities of making PDFs. As a result, we had to stay afterschool to fininsh up the last bit of the assignment. Fortunatly, everything was done on time for once, and we were able to sumbit the project at the deadline. As i mentioned before, I found this project to much easier and less stressful. I think I have found a personal interest in graphics. :)

Day 3x13

Today was a very very busy day in communication technology. Our graphics group was still had merging and the spelling of names to do for our projects. We also had to create the final PDF for all the files, and gather a list of 10 common modern symbols. Since we were a little tight on time, we had to work at lunch today. Our group was able to completely finish our characters, and mangaed to begin the merging by the end of class. Mr. Tammik allowed us an extra day of working for the project, because he realized that grahics groups always were scrambling to fininsh everything. Today was also the quiz for the assignments. Yet again, our group did rather well on the quiz.

Day thirty Eight!

Today in communicatoin technology class was another day spent on our graphics project. This period was the second last period to get everything done to submit for tomorrow. Our group had basically done our characters (or most of them) so I was able to start a sheet that we would merge the entire alphabet on. I was able to arrange some of the characters onto the sheet, but since m,any of the group members still had not completely finished their letters, very little was accomplished. We plan to work tomorrow at lunch to finish the merging, spelling of names, and submission.

Day 30 +7

Today in communication technology class was another day spent on the graphics project. As well, our group was FINALLY able to finish and submit our video projects to Mr. Tammik. What a relief! Today, we were able to learn how to add a gradient onto our images in order to give them a realistic appearence. I found the gradients to be very fun to use, and I was able to completely finish my pictures. Tomorrow, we plan to merge our characters into the entire alphabet sheet, and to create our names. Tomorrow will also be the quiz for the graphics project. Our group is actually up to date with everything. This assignment is definitly less stressful than the other!

Day 36 =)

Monday in communication technology class was spent again on the graphics project. As I had mostly finished my characters and definitions, I decided to help my other group members with drawing their characters, as they did not have as steady a hand as I did with the mouse. I spent most of the period helping my friend with her drawings. What I find especially nice about Illustrator's brush tool is that it kind of "smooths out" the lines in your drawing to make them more appealing. The rest of the members of my group are still a bit behind on their drawings, but it seems that they will be able to finish in time.
