Summative

This class was spent designing the apartment in blender.

Summative Update

Script:

In apartment 4312B resides an excellent specimen of The Common Platitudinous Humdrummer. Here he is shown performing his daily routine of pacing back and forth across his boring, plain room, seemingly unresponsive to any stimulus. (hears clanking from apartment upstairs). After the Humdrummer has performed his daily quota of monotonous activities: pacing, standing, and producing a long droning noise, it goes into an uninterruptible slumber. Despite its placid and boring nature, it seems to run out of energy rather quickly, and for approximately 18-20 hours a day can be found asleep in whichever place it deems the most comfortable that day. Due to its extremely unobtrusive nature, the landlord has forgotten about apartment 4321B, and therefore collects no rent from the Humdrummer. How the Humdrummer would obtain money for rent, or how it even got into the apartment in the first place, is one of the few unexplained phenomenon of the universe.

 

Character Design:

The character will be wearing numerous puffy jackets to simulate fatness. Also will be wearing a cardboard box over his head, with a dumbed down happy face drawn on it. The video recording will be that of the character pacing back and forth, as well as performing the acts depicted in the narration.

Final Project

 I'm done my final project! Yay!

Commtech Project update

 During this class I designed simplistic shapes to use in my video

March 31 Commtech Project Update

  Today's class was dedicated solely to doing research on the history of commtech. A full research sheet will later be provided.

Commtech Project Topic

  For the upcoming commtech project, the topic I will be doing is the history of Communication Technology. It will most likely be a presentational video, with music that I make myself, likewise with graphics, content, and voice recording.

Reflection (2.11)

1. The most successful part of our campaign was the continuity between the ads and keeping a sense of familiarity through the use of similar design elements such as layout, color, and typeface choice.

2.The least successful part about our campaign was the abysmal choice of photoshop names.

 Also some of the ads have layouts that don't look entirely professional and could probably be improved with an improved composition.

3.Each ad was carefully made over several classes with lots of feedback from various sources, so overall the project was done very carefully and very close the to the fullest that we did with the allotted time.

4. With the provided marking scheme, it seems that the mark that we deserve is in the high 90s.
The file we completed can be found in groupwork under "duck group marking scheme.pdf"
