Be True To Your School

I think my design is effective because it is a realistic picture of the schools mascot. The most challenging part was not painting the picture on the windows and making sure the picture was centered. I thought it was very easy to get the pictures together. I have a little interest in digital art and design because I thought this particular assignment was fun and interesting. I think I could do this as a job because it's fun.

Before The War

I selected this photo out of the two because it was mostly scenery which I enjoy fixing more than a person and it seemed more interesting to me. The par that was the most challenging was fixing and putting on a new corner in the top left. I thought it was difficult making straight lines and making it seem like it was the original picture. The easiest part to me was fixing the folds in the bushes and gate because it had no little details. I have never restored a photo before. I don't think I'd ever want to do this as  a job because it takes a lot of concentration and is very precise.

Freak of Nature

I selected the coyote and grey bunny because they had similar fur colours and I thought they would fit well together. The part I thought was most challenging was trying to fit the bunny head on the coyote and make it look like it belonged there. The part I found the easiest was cutting the bunny head out. I think I did a pretty good job photo shopping the picture but I don't think people would believe there would be a creature that actually looked like this. I have never used photo editing software before but I thought it was pretty fun.

Automobile Body Styles and Design

PART ONE

Automobile Body Styles

Convertible- This car has a sporty body stile with a retractable or fold-able roof. They usually have two doors and are made of plastic, steel, or aluminum. 




Estate- An Estate is a station wagon with an extended rear for luggage or cargo. It had a two-box design with four doors. They usually share the same frontal design. 



Hatchback- This is a car with a sloping back and a hinged rear door that opens upwards. It is usually much more compact and cam fit four people but it is most likely very crowded. 












Sedan- A Sedan is a passenger car with a bonnet covering the engine and a separate place for luggage and cargo. It is one of the most popular body styles and can fit at least four people. 








SUV- This vehicle is similar to a Sedan but is usually higher off the ground. It usually offers four-wheel-drive and are designed for both on and off the road driving. Some have the towing capacity of a pickup and some offer the passenger carrying of a minivan.








PART TWO

Automobile Design
1. It takes ten years to design a car and they start off with the sketching phase that is mostly done on the computer.
2. Design is called problem solving because they have to find a design that is pleasing to everyone with no flaws. 
3. The feasibility stage is when they take their sketches and make sure they can actually be done and match up with the engineering. This is the largest part to designing a car and is where all the negotiating comes in play. 
4. I don't think designing an automobile would interest me because it's a very stressful job and you need a lot of imagination to be able to create a new design.
