Jobs on Career Cruising

     We did Career Cruising about 2 weeks ago. I got a lot of jobs that I think relate to E-Comm and that I really like. The 5 that I picked out were Video Game Developer, Computer Animator, Web Developer, Animator, and Website Designer. I chose these jobs because I feel that they relate a lot to E-Comm and they are jobs that I would like and that I would enjoy having.

     Of all the Jobs on there, my favorite would have to be Video Game Developer. I would love to be a video game developer because having E-Comm will teach me the skills to animate and do more designs on the game. This job would be a lot of fun since I would be able to work with a ton of different people and be able to get help from others.

     Even though video game developers don't make much money at first, they can make up to $120,000 a year, which I would love. To get into this career track, you need to get about 2-4 years of college. I really like game development and I think it would be a great career for my future.

     Even though I may not learn much about programming in E-Comm, I will learn graphic design and that skill will help me to be able to make the visuals for the games, and I can go into an outside of school class for programming.

SketchUp House

We have been working on a 3D house in Google SketchUp. The house we are working on is supposed to be from a website (this website was Contemporary Style House Plan - 1 Beds 1.00 Baths 399 Sq/Ft Plan #917-6 if you want to check it out) The house we were supposed to make was a small house that didn't have a flat roof. 

These were the two textures that I used as sides on the windows, and for the sliding door curtains. The wooden texture is seamless and it is what I used for the window siding, it was very hard to find, but when I saw it I thought it looked amazing. The green texture that I used was easier to find but it was the only green I could find, I still like its design and I think it looks good on my house. I had a hard time doing this but it was still fun.

Ball Bounce w/ surprise ending

In E-Comm we worked on a frame by frame animation in Photoshop where we made a ball bounce in from the side, and have it end in a way someone wouldn't expect. I had a fun time making this animation and seeing what I could do with a ball. Even though I didn't have a lot of time to make this animation I still did the best that I could do, and it turned out pretty well.
