Quarter four project final

Our group was very successful, and made a lot of cool things throughout this project. We made a product called "Equipo JERT" this product is a speaker that has earbuds connected to it, allowing you to use it "however you want, with who you want" We worked very hard on this project, making graphics, animations, ads, logos, a commercial, and even a website. to show off how great our product really is. Each of us had a strength in which we used to create every part of this project. Some of us worked on graphics, while others were editing the video, animation, or the website. At the very end, when we are done making all of our stuff, we had to present our product to the whole first our of Ecom. This wasn't bad at all, it fact, it was pretty fun. Our team did very well, and got good feedback.



                     

How long did it take?
This project took a whole month to accomplish. Everything that we had to do took a lot of time and effort, especially if you wanted to have a good presentation by the end of everything. This project is very important, and you want to make it as good as you can. Not to mention it is for a good amount of you grade. The thing that took the longest for us was the website. The website got messed up while we were creating it, which put a dent into our time. It turned put to be okay, because our team met up in the Ecom room every morning until it was fixed. Overall, the timing was not too bad, but it did take a while to get everything the way we wanted it to be.
     













Challenges: 
We didn't face very many challenges in the beginning. Like I said earlier, we did face a challenge towards the end with our website not working the way we needed it to. Sometimes we would have a small problem here and there, but they were never very bad. Our biggest challenge was definitely the website. The website has a lot of small things that needs to be done, a long with a lot of steps. We missed a few steps that turned out to not be very important while presenting. That was very good on our part. While this was happening, we would all get super frustrated and get irritated at the problem that we were facing. This was okay because we all knew why and we were all acting like that. Overall, we didn't face many challenges, and got all of our work done pretty fast and neat. I think this is because we are very passionate about what we created, and we wanted to make it right.

   Along the way, I learned that no matter what challenges you face, it will always fall through. Also, I  learned that getting up there and just doing you best, will get you through it. No matter what, if you know that you have done your best work and effort, then thats all you can do.

Feedback:
We got good feedback and bad feedback. Some people didn't like our product at all, while others liked it a lot. We were getting some negativity at the end, but it all turned out to be okay. I didn't get feedback personally from a teacher, but my teammates made it clear that we all worked hard and did the best we could to do the best we could. That was all that was needed. I was the website manager, so I could have had some feedback from a teacher saying to listen to the instructions better. Overall, We know that we did good and thats all that matters.

  The only thing that we had to change was our website. We had to change the order of the website, and some things to go a long with that. It was the only thing that we officially had to change a lot of.

Opinion: 
My opinion on the 4th quarter project was very good. I thought that this project was very fun, and i enjoyed it very much. This project allowed me to learn and grow more in Ecom. I love Ecom and all that I have done in this class.

Did we use our time wisely? 
Our time was used very wisely more towards the beginning. We were getting everything done first, with no problems was so ever. Once we got used to each other, and getting a long very well, we started talking more, and not getting things done as fast as we did in the beginning. This was okay because we were still getting things done pretty fast. overall, I believe that our time was used pretty wisely throughout the project.

  Our time in class wasn't always working super hard. Sometimes we would talk more than getting things done. But for the most part, we used our time in class to work hard on what we were supposed to do, and get it done efficiently.

  When we would finish things early, we would look over it a few times and then be done with it. For the rest of the time we would just talk.

  We never really worked outside of class or anything like that. We just went to the room in the mornings and finished what we needed to get done before class started, just to get a head start.

My Strengths: 
I really like making the website. The website was my strength for sure. I always enjoy the projects that we did when it came to making the websites. I put a lot of effort into the website, even though there were some problems to face throughout.

Improvement:  
I could focus more on graphics and how to work with that stuff a little more. I can't seem to figure out how to work the program half the time. I am always confused while trying to figure it out. I didn't help much with the graphics, but I should have.

Summary: 
I really loved the final project. I would not change anything, because it was super fun to do. Overall, I really love Ecom and all they do to make it possible for us to do such great things. This program is truly amazing, and I am going to miss it next year.

Creating experince

Team experience:
The team that i am working with is a very good team. we get our work done very fast. giving good ideas and collaboration work really well for us. My group is ver talented when it comes to drawing and working on the programs. Together we can get a lot done at a fast pace. This is very good when it comes to teams. A team that is working hard and getting things finished is always good. I helped with the idea of putting a screen on our product. This will allow people to see what song they are listening to. We are unsure of what else, but there is more to come.

Our product:
Our product is a pocket sized speaker that allows people to play music whenever they want. Earbuds are able to connect to our object, or you can connect through bluetooth. Our product has a screen at the top of it, allowing the person to see what song is playing. With this screen, you can change the song while seeing the picture. In order to do this, you have to download all of your songs onto the speaker. This will not take long, it is fast and easy. Our target audience is eighteen to thirty three. We chose that age because we thought that older people would mostly use tis if they are working out, going to work, and etc. our slogan is "listen how you want, when you want." We chose this slogan because our speaker real does allow you to listen to music whenever you want with whoever. Our product name is "Equipo Jert." In English this means "team jert" we chose this name because all of us do not like Spanish. I know it doesn't make sense that we would do our name in Spanish, but it just turned out that way. Our company logo has our name in it. the word "equipo" has different music notes and play and pause buttons. At the bottom, it has the word "jert" in Spanish. This logo fits our product perfectly.

Our presentation: 
I was gone for our presentation, but I'm sure that my group did very well. My group works very well together. In the presentation, we were supposed to explain our product and why we chose it. Rosie came up with the product before we even got to think about it. We all thought it was perfect, so we used it.

My personality type

Myers-Briggs personality type:

The person that I officially picked out that stood out to me was Ronald Reagan. I have heard nothing but good things about this man, which made me very honored to have him show up on that page. In my opinion, I don't think I'm a lot like him because I could never be a president. I love people, and i enjoy helping them out, but I could not have the responsibility of the United States in my hands.

Does ESFP describe me?
For the most part, ESFP does describe me. One thing that sticks out to me is wanting to have fun and be the life of the party. That is something I love to do. I am very outgoing, and love to be around a lot of people. Something that doesn't sound like me that is said in the description is, "they love the excitement of playing to an audience, and they try to generate a sense of "showtime" wherever they are." This is not really me all the time. It would be hard for me to get up and sing for a huge audience. I am very outgoing, but I have my limits. This description does help me to better understand myself in some ways. I do love to have parties, and be around a ton of people. This description got that spot on. Some of it does not help me to understand, but most of it does.

My Role:
My personality can be really good on a team. I could bring the team together and talk to each and everyone of them with out a hesitation. I can cheer really loud with out worrying what others think of me. In my family, My personality can be good but bad at the same time. I will sometimes talk back to my parents because I'm not afraid to. That makes my parents really upset with me sometimes. Other times, its good because I care about people a lot, which means I care about my family even more. If someone in my family is having a bad day, I know exactly how to cheer them up. My role is usually spot on with my personality type. If it doesn't match, that usually means I'm having a bad day, and I just don't want to talk. People may misunderstand my personality because I really like to help others out with their problems. After I help them out, they tend to come to me for everything they need. This can cause me to look down on life and be upset because of all the negativity. Also, I like to be friends with everyone. This can cause jealousy and drama, it has before.


What have I learned? 
I have learned a lot down this, and I loved reading about my personality type. This has taught me a little bit about myself, and what i am capable of. I feel that is really important.

Logo sketch

Experience creating: 
As I was creating my sketches, I was thinking about what color I like, what I like to do, and what represents me. At first, I drew a camera, sun, and a music note. I decided to go with the sun because it represents me the most out of all three of my sketches.

Experience creating in illustrator:
My experience creating this in illustrator was not hard at all. First, I made the circle, and then added the lines to make it look happy and bright. This was very easy to make in illustrator, and I enjoyed it very much.

My logo:
I decided to go with the sun because to me, it explains myself the most. I have always been a bright and bubbly person. The sun is bright, and the circle could represent a bubble. I chose the bright colors because they go very well together. Also, they are some of my favorite colors. The lines on the end represent all my different personalities (in a good way). I enjoy the sun I made, and I think it explains me very well.

My opinion: 
I feel that the sun that I have made is very neat and clean. Although this project is simple, it still has some detail with a warm feeling to it. I could have added a good background, but i decided to keep it the way it is. Overall, I feel that i did a pretty good job at representing me through this sun.

Flower Sketch

Creating experience:
while I was creating this project, I thought hard about how I really like to draw flowers. I used to draw flowers with my grandma all the time when I was little, which is why I know how to draw them. Drawing flowers brings back good family memories, which is why I chose to draw the flower.

Recreating experience:
It took me a few times to be happy with what I was drawing. I had to redo the flower multiple times. I used a light purple to go with my light yellow middle. I thought that these colors really went together and made the flower look simple but good. I enjoy using illustrator, and I enjoyed making this flower.

My opinion: 
I really like my simple flower. I feel that I used the right colors, and made the flower look natural and clean. If I had to change something, I would add a little more detail to make it look more like a flower. Overall, I am happy with my flower, and wouldn't change much about it.

My ice-cream cone:
My sketch is an ice-cream cone. I chose ice-cream  because I really enjoy it. In the summer, my family and I go and get ice-cream every Wednesday night. Also, I go with my friends a lot, which makes me very happy. I have very good memories when it comes to ice-cream, which is why I chose to make this ice-cream cone. I used a triangle, and a circle and used lines for the background. I feel that I could have made this a lot better, and I could have put more detail. This was my first time to use illustrator.

My skills in adobe illustrator:
I am not very good at it, but I still manage to do my best. This process took me a while, even though I didn't finish in time. First, I used the shaper tool to make ice-cream top. Then, I used the line tool to make the bottom cone part. Lastly, I used the line tool to make the background stripes to make the picture have more detail.

Shaper tool:
I enjoy using the shaper tool because it makes lines straighter and helps to make things neater. This helps with curved lines and rounded shapes that you are going to make. The shaper tool really helped me when I was making the ice-cream part. Not only is it helpful, but it's easy to use as well. I am able to work with it very well, and enjoy using it very much.

What do I like about Adobe Illustrator?
I really like Adobe Illustrator because its easy to use, and you have fun while using it. My only problem is the color use. I have a hard time using the colors and figuring out how to put it in the right spot. Other than that, I really like Adobe Illustrator and all it has to offer. My past two projects were easy, and I enjoyed doing them.

Favorite Color:
My favorite color is light blue. I like this color because it represents the sky and it has a warm feeling to it. This color makes me happy and reminds me of a rainbow. I have always liked this color and I always will.

Least favorite color:
My least favorite color is brown. I don't like this color because it gives me a gloomy, dark, gross feeling that I do not like. This color is boring, and reminds me of mud and dirt. This is not a color i would want to use or see on any of my projects.
