Q4 Media and Design Presentation
Slide 1:
Slide 2: For Quarter 1, we had to create a website to display our resumé, featured projects and contact information. It was designated for colleges and possible jobs to make it.
Slide 3: The overall vision for my website was to just create something visually appealing and calming. I didn’t want the website to be cramped or extremely bright colors. I just wanted it to be peaceful and simple.
Slide 4: This was successful because I just believe it did that. It looks calming because of the light blues and the images of the sky that I have taken with my phone. Nothing is cluttered and everything is easy to read.
Slide 5: For Quarter 2, I choose the image editing project. The reason why I chose this project is because I believe that image editing was an interesting topic and I was always messing with digital art from time to time.
Slide 6: The overall vision was for there suppose to be a message for true beauty for oneself. I wanted someone to see how I portrayed or most so viewed beauty in my eyes.
Slide 7: I think this project was successful, if not my most successful project that I did. The reason why is because I just believe that everything came well together with the images that I used and I just loved the end result.
Slide 8: For Quarter 3, I chose the video editing project because I wanted to try making a video based on time lapse with what artists have done.
Slide 9: The overall vision for this project was to make everything seem comfortable and almost easy going. With videos like this, you want it to be simple with very little transitions so they focus on the art.
Slide 10: I think this project was okay because I believe that I could have done better, but by the time I wanna to start over, it was too late. I would want to start this over completely too.
Slide 11: I chose to revise the Quarter 3 project. The only thing I wanted to change was a video in the project because I thought something else would look better.
Slide 12: I chose this project because I honestly thought this was the easiest thing to change compared to the others. I had to think about something to draw for the new image and then I recorded myself doing it.
Slide 13: However, with the new video that I wanted to use, it made the video shorter. I wanted to have it to be longer than two minutes, not less. So in all honest it just looks the same.
Slide 14:During this year, I think that my high point was the image editing project. The reason why is because I just really loved the outcome of the project because it was really my favorite project that I’ve done.
Slide 15:In area growth, I don’t think that I really grew in anything. I feel like I really didn’t improve that much at all. Maybe I improved a little in image editing but that’s it.
Slide 16:I could use image editing in a way to create digital for once. I could potentially make profit off of selling these art pieces for money that could benefit on the side for myself.
Slide 17:In all honesty, I thought of a project for image editing where you create an image that tells a story about yourself and the others have to guess whose it is.
Slide 18:Number one tip is to be on time for the checkpoints. If you don’t turn them in on time, your grade you gradually start to drop, so I would really stress about that to the next class.
Slide 19: Another tip would be to actually put some effort into their project because you can turn the checkpoint in on time but if your final project is trash, then don’t expect a perfect grade.
Slide 20: I honestly can’t think of another tip because I feel like the first one was the most important. I feel like that’s really the only thing that matters at this point so just follow the first tip.
Q 4 Project
A description of the project you chose to revise, why you chose it, and the process you went through revising it
I chose to revise my CodeHS project.I chose this project because I knew that when I was doing this project before it was incomplete. The process I followed to revise it was to do level 11 which I did not complete. To complete level 11 I had to create If/else statements. An If/else statement is to do something if the condition is true or do something else if it is false.
An overview of each of your project from each quarter including visuals
The project type
The overall vision and goal(s) of the project
Was the project successful? Why? Why not?
In my Q 1 project I created a website that includes information about me, my accomplishments, and a resume. This project was successful except for my resume because I still need to build on that. My goals were to make anyone who is reading about me learn who I am in the shortest and the most easy time possible.
For my Q2 project I went on CodeHS and learned how to code. I went through different lessons that went the the foundations of coding. My goals was to finish all lessons but, only got to lesson 10. I feel as though the project was successful because I learned a ton but wasn't because I didn’t finish all the lessons.
For my Q3 project I created a game which I had to use the foundations of coding. My goal was to create a game and show people what I did and how to play it. This project was a failure because I hit the power cord and I lost everything and had to start all over. I didn’t have enough time to redo it and my game was incomplete.
For my revision project I had to make a revision on one of my projects and I chose codeHS. My goal was to complete lesson 11. It was a success because I did complete it. I had more than enough time to complete it which helped me get it done.
My high point of the course was Coding. Using Codehs made it fun for me and made me interested in coding.
My growth is from coding. Through coding there is many challenges you will encounter but there is a way around it. I learned that if I want it bad enough I can overcome anything.
This helped me consider coding as a profession. It is a job demanding job. People want it and not a lot of people do it.
Next year I would build something with code.
Stay on top of your work

- Follow directions
Media and Design through the year
Q1: For the very first project of this class we created our own websites.
Q2: My quarter 2 project was CodeHs which is a programming website. It has 15 lessons that you do and within the lessons you learn how to code and make Karel do different things.
Q3: For my Q3 project I choose to do a gameplay because i figured that it would an easy project to do. My overall vision of this project was to share something i enjoy doing in my freetime with everyone else. Overall my project was a success, a failure i had was uploading it to youtube from my game system.
Revised benchmark: For my revised benchmark i decided to edit my Q2 benchmark because 1, I really enjoyed doing it and 2, I wasn’t able to complete all the lessons and move onto the challenges.
Course Growth: Throughout this course i had a lot of ups and downs especially when i first started the class. An area that i grew in was submitting the checkpoints on time and getting work done in class. During my time in this class i personally feel as though that i really didn’t learn nothing new but a way I could use some of the skills demonstrated inside of class, outside of class is by doing a website for a personal assignment. Three tips I would give someone taking this class next year would be: submit work on time, stay focused during the class period and be on time because that will eventually affect your grade.

Project Script for Quarter #4
Included visual questions;
The project type
The overall vision and goals of the project
Was the project successful? Why? Why not?
Quarter # 1 Part;
The project type for quarter #1 was to create and design a website of your own choice using a website software
The overall vision of this project was to familiarize student with editing and designing a web page about them for other students to get to know them as part of the SLA community
Yes as you can see from this slide presentation I’ve have made great progress. Was this project successful basically this project put students computer network skills to the test to basically to see what ideas they could come up with, to display information about their interest, accomplishments, and small bio about themselves within school and out.
Quarter # 2 Part;
The project type for quarter #2 was to create and design a project video on a website of your own choice using a video creation website software
The overall vision of the project was to also familiarize yourself with a video website for editing and designing and videos something of your choice that was reasonable to show to the SLA community to test your video creation editing skills
Yes the video was great success I mean there were little up’s and down’s creating the video on the video website software because the website would freeze and shut down most times. But I made it work even though I wanted to give up and move on to the next best thing I stuck with the website and made it work.
Quarter # 3 Part;
-The project type for quarter #3 was to create and design and sketch and digital 3D model representation of a real imagined of object or living thing
- The overall vision of this project was to create 3D model image and explore an digital website software and find out how it works.Using this website could help student’s within the future to later on in life to plan for architectural or building projects for working experiences.These websites can be a good display to show their representation of what they are planning to create and present to the world.
- Yes the project was successful, as you can see from looking at the slides in presentation it shows my full progress and what I have accomplished, why was the project successful for me I just pretty much spent my time trying doing my best putting my knowledge skills and my creative skills to the test. To sketch whatever image of a 3 dimensional object I could think to make and even though I was kind of having trouble a couple of times with the tools and website. I was still able to manage and pull through to make what I wanted even though it was not exactly where I wanted the creation of my project object to look like.
Quarter #4 part;
why you chose this project and the process you went through revising it include a visual
I wanted to do my project revision from my quarter #2 video refection , my revision was focusing on fixing my on my website reflection because I wanted viewers to be able to see my reflection of my work of what I said on my website. At first I wanted viewers to see my project reflection to my project progress through a google document link. The problem was the refection need to be visual on my website not a displayed link that people had to copy and put it in the search link bar. So here are all the steps I went through to fixing my project reflection my website.
First, I have opened up my website and google document
Second, I went my website and went on to the project tab on my website
Third, I went my website and deleted the link code of my google document with my video refection of quarter #2
Four, I then went Inside my google document where I written my project reflection and copied all my sentences and words i’ve written down from my reflection
Fifth, I went back to my website and transfer all my project refection information into a textbox on my website
Sixth, last but not least I republished my website with the edited changes and now you could see my project reflection underneath my project video
Your high point of the course when it comes to your learning include a visual
I choose my course website as a highest point of learning because it was my first time ever creating a website that I though was one of greatest success of learning. In the past I have used website’s to build and create powerpoint’s also I have used websites to create and make videos for projects. But I have never made and create one which I enjoyed doing because now I have gain a part of learning that I can now used for the future references. When it comes time for me to show off a presentation or something of my interest that I want to show and want the world to know about.
An area of growth for you include a visual
I choose my project revision from quater #2 as a sign of growth just to show that their was a part to one of my project’s that I did need to edit and fix up. I wanted to show this picture as part of my growth for my presentation because I wanted people to know not everything you do will be such a great success. Their will always be something that needs to rearrange and change around so people can see and clearly understand the point that you're trying to make.
How you have used or could use a skill or technique you learned this year outside of this class include a visual
A skill and technique that I have learned and used throughout this whole project course was this motto this motto is what kept me going. There have been times where I always second guess myself, give up on things, or faced hard non-understandable problems that have slowed from down from my path to success. But I play this motto in my head almost everyday when I get to these kinds of breaking points I just “keep moving forward”.This motto gives me hope, strength and also comfort through the good and the bad times I go through.
An idea you want to pitch for a project for next year's class include a visual
Next year’s project for video editing for other students make sure their are proper websites to use for video editing. Some websites can tend to freeze and stop working and shut down so next time just be on the lookout and heads up for better video editing websites for students.
Tip #1 for anyone taking this class include a visual
I choose this image as part of my tip visual for the next class for the future because in order for them to succeed and get good credit for the work they complete and try hard to do.They got to try their best and don't give up the on their work or themselves if it is hard or difficult for them to understand. The future students must know and must understand that they just got to do what you can do and what you know how to do. It’s better to have something out of nothing at the end of the day you can just say I put forth a good effort.
Tip #2 for anyone taking this class include a visual
The reason I choose this image for my second visual because their will be thing’s that people might understand or may be difficult for them to figure it out whatever they are trying to do. Students must know when these difficult times appear they need to come out, and reach out of their uncomfortable zone space and learn to ask for help from peers and teachers. Not everything is going to be understood or easy to go through their will be obstacles and problems always in the way. Students need to know they don't have to go them through alone there will always be help along the way.
Tip #3 for anyone taking this class include a visual
The reason I choose this tip for my last visual because students need to know to believe in themselves what they are capable of doing. Not everything is going to come easy there will be battles to go through and fight with work. But students need to know trust in themselves and need to be able to pull through it will be a risky and hard path to cross with learning sometimes. As long as student hold themselves together they can and push themselves forward they can make it.
Q4 Project Slideshow
For my quarter one project I created my own website. With this project to start off the year I was able to create my own website the proper way. The goal of this project was to familiarize myself with website editing and design that would provide a place for me to showcase the work I did this year. I believe that this project was successful. Even though it was difficult at first it turned out to be great. I learn how important color schemes are for websites. Also, what to do and not to do on a website. So in the end it was very successful! For my quarter two project I chose the image editing project. With this project I was able to learn how to edit images to create something new. The goals of this project was to give the image a voice in a way. Also, teach yourself how to edit images on your own. I believe this project was very successful. I wind up doing 3 images rather than 1. I learned how to use a different image editing called pixlar. Now i’m a pro at it! In addition to that, I received a passing grade and great feedback about my images. So with that being said it was a successful project. I learned so much!
For my quarter three project I chose to do the video project. I decided to stick with is a Hair and Skin video. From doing this project I hoped to learn more about editing and getting better with filming. Which I did learn after all! Before making my video I was gonna use Wevideo. But, since I was using an IPhone 6s plus to film my videos I used IMovie. I have never used IMovie before and I love it I picked it up really quick. I learned things like changing the colors of my video like making them brighter and cleaning the video a little more. The successes that I had was putting this video together at the last minute. The major failure that I had was the same as always is procrastination. I overcame my failure by pushing myself to do it. Getting my interim reports really pushed me t o this also knowing that grade close very soon helped as well. I learned that I procrastinate way too much. I always wait to the last minute. This happens with every project. I revised this image in my project because I thought that this image need more and it was too dull. So I sharpened and smoothed it out and changed the radius.
I think my high point of this course is the project statements because I was able to see where I need to focus and change throughout the course. Also, giving myself constructive criticism and explaining to other what i struggled with. In addition, readings other peer review about mines and gaining from their feedback. My growth throughout this whole course is video editing. It helped me so much! I knew a little about video editing from wevideo but i learned more by pushing my luck with imovie. I used my video editing skill to teach myself how to use Final Cut Pro X. Which can go a long way for me when I start my YouTube Channel. One project that I think that would help a lot of student’s next year is, learn how to use FInal Cut Pro X and teach how to use it next year. Tip 1 would be DON'T PROCRASTINATE! Tip 2 is Stay on top of checkpoints. Tip 3 is have fun and try your best.
Media and Design Ignite Presentation
Slide 1:Hello, my name is Autumn Richardson. I am in the eleventh grade at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber. For my ignite presentation I will be talking about my Media and Design projects and some changes made to them. First stop will be my website.
Slide 2:For my website I decided to talk about my view of Philadelphia. I have never created a website before so this was definitely a first. The goal was to make an efficient website that included a project page, about me page, a resume page, and a welcome page. For my welcome page I included a brief description of what you would see if you visited my website.
Slide 3:Like I have said in the beginning the welcome page is one of the changes I have made in this project. At first the welcome page was pretty dull and mediocre. I tried to use a live background but it was delayed and when the text moved and background moved it was too much and confusing.
Slide 4: So this project was not really successful because my goal was to make a better website that was more colorful and lively. That worked and attracted attention to those that visited my page. I wanted the website to look legit. Although I struggled with project one I did better with project 2.
Slide 5: This was my Quarter 2 project, this was the final project but I can reassure you that it didn’t look like that at first. It took much time to achieve this.
Slide 5:For quarter 2 the project I did was Graphic Design. The goal was to create a road sign that represents either a real or fictional situation or direction(s). Your sign should not contain words. Use images and symbols to convey your message.
Slide 6: Now, I had many complications with this project because at first I was using pixlr. Pixlr and I don’t get along. It would delete my work after I saved it, the over tools just sucked in general and this was my outcome using it. A hot mess, I couldn’t submit this and feel proud of it so I decided to use another website that could help me make a better picture while getting my point across.
Slide 7: This is a before and after as you can see using pixlr just really sucked so after using another webiste it got better and I submitted good work, or at least good to me.
Slide 8: The video can be a powerful messenger and a quick way to share a laugh, an idea or make a statement. The video was to be 1 to 3 minutes and follow the copyright laws.
Slide 9: At first I was confused I didn’t know what to do the video on. I like to draw, but I didn’t want to do that. I like to dance, but I didn’t want to do that either. I was pretty much lost up to the second checkpoint with no idea to create a video.
Slide 10: One day before class at lunchtime I was thinking what could I do because checkpoint three was due today. Then I had this idea what if I could do a news segment and it would be better if I worked with a partner. The video came out ok, but since it was so late and we started so late the quality wasn’t that good. I decided to edit the video over and make it better.
Slide 11: The picture you see before you is the a revision of the Website Project. The welcome page is one of the changes I have made in this project. At first the welcome page was pretty dull and mediocre. I tried to use a live background but it was delayed and when the text moved and background moved it was too much and confusing.
Slide 12: I decided to make a new menu, change the background, changed the description, and color of font so that it could be more appealing to someone that visited my website. I chose to do this project over because I didn’t like the finished product. I also added another page to the website. This page is about the Video Project I did in Quarter 3.
Slide 13: So this is the before and after and there is an obvious change like I had explained previously. I feel more proud of this finished project because it looks more appealing than the last one. Also I corrected the things that brought down my grade.
Slide 14: My highpoint of the Media and Design class was creating a Graphic Design because in that project I reflected learned from my mistakes and fixed them. I received help from my peers that helped me make a better project and actually enjoyed making it.
Slide 15: An area of growth from the Media and Design class was making the video. I know which is ridiculous because in SLA we make videos for every class, but I struggled making the video and I still don’t know how to use the tools, but I did my best I wish I could have applied myself more and had the checkpoints turned in on time.
Slide 16: A skill or technique you learned this year that I could use outside of this class was being confident in what you present because if you’re not confident in what you have others won’t see it as good. Also I never knew how to make a website so if I ever have a business or some type of organization I can advertise it by making a website.
Slide 17: A project that you could have next year could be making a business and successfully advertising it, which may include graphic design, so like a sign, a website to advertise that business or item, and use the 3D printer to make a prototype of the item you will be selling.
Slide 18:Tip one stay on time, for class, for the checkpoint, and for the project. This is for all classes. Time management is extremely important.
Slide 19: Tip two think outside the box don’t trap yourself in anything the more you use your imagination the better the project will come out. Don’t limit yourself to what you're given, if you have the opportunity to do better do better.
Slide 20: Tip three remember what you are taught because you might have to use these tools later in life. Don’t forget what you learned in this class because something might be beneficial in the future, whether it was a project, a comment someone made, or even life lessons learned you learned in the class.

Reflection Document
Overview of Quarter 1 Project
The project type for the first quarter project was a website. The vision of this project was to show basic information about my life. This included personal things about me, projects I have completed in or out of school, and a resume that outlined anything I didn’t explain in previous website pages. The goal was to essentially give a portfolio of myself to the class so that they could learn a bit about my lifestyle and what I have accomplished. Some things about me are that I am involved in rowing, Bible Quiz, and Royal Rangers, a program I am involved with at my church. I do believe the project was successful because although it doesn’t tell everything about me, I did do a good job in highlighting some of the important things about me.
Overview of Quarter 2 Project
The project type for the second quarter was Computer Science. I had to code a specific program and do a narrative video while completing the final program. The goal of the project was to show me how to use certain functions and commands within the Karel program. This taught me a bit more about coding and gave me an understanding of how people program. I do believe the project was successful because I learned how to code and make a program do what I want it to do. It was also successful because I can use this skill outside of class if I want to make a game or build more complex things like computers or other technology.
Overview of Quarter 3 Project
The project type for the third and last project that I chose was the Image Editing Project. The vision of this project was to show that there are angels and demons in life. The person in the middle of the image represents all of humanity, and the angels represent all things good, and the demons, all things bad. Both the angels and the demons should motivate you. You should want to get as far from the demons as possible, and closer to the angels. I do believe the project was successful because the image shows my vision and fulfills my goals. I realized as I was doing the project that my demons were too dark. So, I changed the opacity to make them more transparent to look more ghostly. I also thought I was successful in making the angels look more a part of the image instead of add-ons.
Written Reflection of the Revised Project
For this image, all I did was blend in the lighting of the person running with the background. Previously, I had made another layer of the person, and it didn’t flow with the background. Another thing I did was adjust the brightness of the background so that the demons would blend in better as well. For the angels, I moved them around slightly and reoriented them so that they were easier to look at as part of the image as a whole. I also made the decision to make the angels slightly darker so that they wouldn’t stand out as much and would be a part of the message of the image.
A high point during this year when it comes to my learning was the Computer Science Project, and me learning how to code. The reason for this is because I had never coded before, and I really enjoyed doing it.
An area of growth for me was definitely working on the Image Editing Project. The reason for this is because although I had a goal in mind, and knew in general how to get there, I had to go through a lot of trial and error to get there. Shoutout to Ms. Hertz for helping me through my questions.
I could use coding to create a game or a program in college or beyond. I could also use image editing beyond high school if I wanted to merge two or more images together or make an image look prettier for advertisement.
An idea for next could be something built with legos. I don’t know what that object would be, but this is just an idea that Ms. Hertz could think through further.
