     10 Words Blog
For my 10 words the first one I picked was creative. I think I am pretty creative and I enjoy doing many things with creativity. The second word I picked was athletic, because I like playing sports and being athletic. The third word i picked was funny because I make people laugh a lot. I picked more words after that that I think accurately describe me. My favorite part of the project was creating a background, and giving the words animations to come in with.
Personality Type blog post:
  Today we took the personality type test. My personality type is ESFP, which stands for extrovert, sensing, feeling, and preceptive. I am an outgoing person who is willing to meet new people, which means extrovert. I am sensing which means I look at the facts, but I believe I also I can be creative, with interesting ideas. I am also feeling, which means I like to be hands on with the situation. It was pretty cool answering the questions to figure out my personality type.

BouncingBallPost- Today I finished my bouncing ball animation. The first step was to make the background, which we made using layers. Then after that we created the ball, and the several animation layers to make it bounce. Then putting the layers together made the animation play out.
     It was fun seeing the ball bounce up and down and I'm excited to do more projects like this in the future. I made the ball blue, because it is my favorite color. I saw everyone else making a blue sky, so idecided to make it a sunset to spice things up. I just did the normal green grass bottom. I enjoyed this project overall and I am excited to work on more animations in the future.

    Presentation Blog: While watching the videos I was able to learn many ways to improve and fail a presentation. I tried to incorporate as many of these ways as possible while prestnting. I learned that making large paragraphs in a presentation is not a good thing, and that it should be broken down in to smaller pieces of information, such as bullet points. The most important thing I have learned, is to always be welcoming and interesting to the audiance.
         
     I learned many things from the professional Ted Talks videos. I think Bill gates was the best of the three, because he was relatable and casual. He dressed and acted similar to how members of the audience would in real life. He also had some very interesting statistics, to share with the group. Jamie Oliver was another speaker who I thought was pretty interesting also.

     While presenting I was a little nervous, but I think I did an okay job overall. My favorite part about presenting was discussing how I came up with my logo. I enjoyed this project overall, and I believe it is the best one we've done so far.

      Illustrator Blog Post, My logo was my name as a wave because I love the ocean. The logo is very simple, and I use the letter A as the wave. The wave I created was blue because it is calming. I'm also from California and we go there a lot; one of my favorite things to do there is get some radical waves.
The only thing is I do not know what my company would sell or make.
       I put my name as the logo, because I want my name to be known as the person who started the company. The HQ would be in California. My favorite part abut the logo is how well the A fits in to my name like a wave. At the last second I decided to turn the line going across the wave, into a surfboard, and made a small guy on it.
