30 Seconds to Mars soundslide

This project was easily the hardest project that we have had all year in my opinion. My reasoning for saying that it was the hardest is because it required a variety of programs and resources to create a final product.

With this project i was hoping to learn more about the soundslide program and sound editing in general. I was only hoping to achieve a basic understanding of soundslide with this project, but I learned alot more. However it was quite challenging, I had alot of difficulty in creating a mp3 for this project. However because of that difficulty I learned alot about using audacity, which will definitely be of use in the future. The learning process was mostly trial and error, but I did learn how to solve problems in the program.

Once again, I did not feel alot of pride in this project because I feel it did not do the band justice. However, If I had more time to mix more music and create more informational slides, I feel as though I could truly be proud of this project.

30 Seconds to Mars Poster

This project was an extremely fun project to work on. The reason for me saying this is because with this project i felt as though I could learn a lot from it.

When starting this project, I had hopes and many goals that I wanted to achieve . I wanted to create something that could truly be used in the real world to promote this band. My goals were simple, create something that would catch the eye and provide enough information to spark interest, yet not bombard the viewer with information overload.

One of the most challenging things that I felt with this project was to create something that would meet my goals, yet still stay true to the bands image. This proved to be difficult and required many drafts to just get the layout correct. Then I had to experiment with a variety of color schemes to create something appealing and that the band could use. These challenges proved to be difficult, but also taught me a lot about color scheme and why it is important to make drafts.

There is nothing particular in this project that makes me extremely proud. I only say this because I really enjoy the band and I do not believe that one of my first attempts at poster creation would do them justices. However overall I had a lot of fun with this project, and I am hoping to return to it soon for recreational purposes to create something better to actually give to the band.

30 Seconds to Mars Power Point

With this project I was hoping to achieve some basic mastery of the power point program. I tried to achieve this goal by experimenting with various techniques and tools inside of the program. However experimenting with some of these tools and techniques made the project a little more difficult. In one of my experimentation's with the table tool, it made the slide disfigured and not pleasing to the eye. It took me several attempts to remedy this situation, but the problem was eventually solved and I learned a lot about creating tables and charts in the process.

I really enjoyed working on this project because I felt I had a lot of creative control with the project. I got to choose the band I wanted to do the project on as well what I wanted to use in my project. And because of this I was extremely proud of this project because I found something that I liked working on.

If I had more time to work on this project I would have liked to create a few more slides and maybe insert some video footage of the band if it was at all possible. This may be something that I will pursue in my free time however.
