Using VoiceThread to Engage Students In Discussions About Writing

When I walked into my first literature course at CSU Channel Islands in 2004, I remember being terrified. At the front of the classroom stood my professor, shuffling through the pages of our large Norton Anthology of Literature. I, like many of our students, was still trying to convince myself that I belonged in college. […]

I have finished my fist draft for George the client that wants the bubble head for his children book. I try to have my illustration as similar as possible to the real Rodney Mullen. American professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, inventor, and public speaker who practices freestyle and street skateboarding. The only problem so far is to draw every single detail to have my illustration as same as the real person it requires many layers on top of other and my file is not as clean as I wanted. I have to work on cleaning my  illustration file because when we send the final approved illustration he need the original file.  I did my best to make the illustration represent what he does. I added a skated clothing a par of skater shorts a 90’s t shirt and some cool skated tennis shoes so can be easy on the eyes that he does like and practice skating, the final element of course it has to be a skate board.

Also today as a team gave feed back to Bess and Sarah to improve their design of the for the Hilell club. Later on the final edits were made and the file was sent successfully. Below is a image of the final drat for Rodney Mullen the skater:

We have completed our first drafts of the active planet bobble heads. I was in charge of creating the Kartick Satyanarayan character illustration. After getting feedback from my group members, I decided to spend more time working on it today. I added more details and refined other areas of the illustration. One of the things I changed from my original illustration was the addition of detail in the hair. The original bobble heads hair looked flat with no dimension, so I added some highlights to the hair. This helped give it more dimension and the illusion of the hair being parted. I also changed his eyebrows and nose, which I believe really helped capture his likeness even more. Another thing I changed was the beard, which I added more texture to. Then I made sure there was perfect symmetry through out the whole illustration. We plan to have all of our bobble heads emailed to George, from Active Kids Planet, tonight.

I was also working on completing the set of logos for the channel islands Line Lackeys club. I had had previously completed one logo, but I now have eight logos completed. I decided to use a different font for the rest of the logos, going for “union pacific 1942″. I also added color, but it’s not the official color the president wants. I used the blue color just to show where color could be added if they would like to add color, but the logos will work just as well in black and white. I will be sending these to the president of the line lackeys club for feedback.
