Graphic Design
Our first rotation was in Graphic Design, in that class we came together as a group; MaKenna, Evan, Kaylee, Kris, and decided on what our product was even going to be. We decided on going with a shoe. I created the logo that represented our products name, Soler Shoe, and the colors; Red, Orange, and Yellow. I chose those colors because the product name Soler, represents the sun and how the shoe is solar powered, and the sun charges the shoe. When I was making the logo, I did it all free-handed. and while I was putting the gradient indie of the S, i also free-handedly drew in the flames that are inside of the S, that represents the flames coming off of the sun.
Everyone in the group helped out when we created the Ad and the coupons. Our group worked really good together. We all pitched in ideas that improved out product. I came up with the slogan "#1 on your feet and #1 on the street". Then right after that, Kaylee started to work on the Ad.
When we made the coupons, we decided to go with 25% off because you actually save a little more than 30 dollars.
Web
When we leaned houw to make a website, it was challenging at first but I soon got the hang of it. We created the website in Adobe DreamWeaver. To make a website there is a lot of steps that come along with it. and the coding portion of making a website can be also challenging. Evan created out website, which thats where you can find all of the information that you would like to know about our product.
Animation
In the animation rotation, there was a lot of stuff to learn about. When we created the typography for our product, we out a road in the middle because it goes along with our slogan of "#1 on the street and #1 on your feet"
Video
As a group we made a commercial that represented our whole invention. We learned a lot throughout the whole year when it comes to creating a movie and or a commercial. We had to make sure that we did not forget anything that we learned and anything about our product that we were going to put in our commercial.
The main idea of our commercial is, people trip and fall over their shoe laces and get tangled up in their earbuds. But with Soler Shoes, there are no shoe laces that make you trip and fall over on. When you put your foot into the shoe, the shoe adjust to your foot and makes your foot secure in the shoe so you will not gal over. There is also a built in hot stop that lets you use the internet anywhere you would like, and lets you stream music without using earbuds.
I have learned so much throughout the year in the E-Communication strand. I hope that i can use all of the information that i have learned and use it in my future. I am going to continue doing E-Comm next year where i hope i can improve and learn new skills that will make me a better student.
If i could do anything different this year it would be my presentation. As a group she we started the presentation, it went good but when it was my turn to speak i think i should have spoke up a little bit pounder when i talked so that more people could have been able to hear me.
By doing this project i have learned that without people and teammates, its hard to meet your goals and get done what needs to get done.
