ONW cheer leading team heads to nationals
After a semester of preparation, a group of varsity cheerleaders from Olathe Northwest high school are preparing to win the national competition in Dallas, Texas. The process will be hard but the girls are ready.
I took the time to talk to a senior and a freshman on the cheer team. I wanted to see the contrast in perspective they both had about the future of the team and nationals. To my surprise, they did have different points of views. The senior, Lucy Underwood, said: “I hope we do well, but i’m not confident we will win it all.” While the freshman is not going to be competing in nationals, she had more confidence in the team. She believed with more work the team would have a good chance in the future.
No matter what the players say, we will not know how nationals will turn out until they happen. The best the cheerleaders can do is work hard, which they are as they are practicing every day. I believe the future is bright for the team as they have a group of talented girls and all have a very impressive skill set.


Writing my story

I was inspired to write my story because I had just done a real interview with the ONW cheer leaders. After reading how to write news story, I found it quite simple to write. i only had a small amount of information but I was still able to write a story. I used quotes later the story as that is what the websites told me to do.
It was fun just getting to tell my perspective n how the interview went and getting the news about the cheerleaders out. I also felt professional as I was able to write a real story using all the rules of a news writer.
I need to work on making my writing interesting to read and using a variety in my words. I could also elaborate on what I am saying more, to make my news article even longer. It would be more interesting to have a well rounded story. Next time I might try to get better quotes and make sure I have a firm story to tell.
I hope to use my news writing skills in my future projects. The news skills I learned while doing this will help my new creations seem more professional.

My logo design

My Logo Design Process:  This project took time and energy. It had multiple steps in the process and had me create a large amount of different logos. The first step was to roughly sketch some ideas I had for the design. It took a couple days until I had an idea of what my logo could looks like. The next step was to bring everything sketched out onto Adobe Illustrator. Using the font myriad pro I edited the letters "ML" in different ways, and used recources such as the pen and curvature tools until I was happy with the way it looked.  After satisfied with the logo, I added different colors to see what it looked like in all styles. With editing, I found I liked the color on top of grey look. After top three choices were picked, I used an outline to see what each looked like as a final product.  Why I chose my logo: My final decision came to hot pink letters over a light grey circle and a very thin black outline. I chose...

CSS and CARP design

Introduction In this assignment I used the rules of CARP (contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity) to fix a generic html with a poem on it to make the newer, better looking, version of this page. Some differences included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. I also changed the size of text around the page it fit it better, and to wrap around the picture of the dog. Contrast Some differences referring to contrast included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. The darker brown text stood out against the light tan background. The black border around the page brought a neutral color that wasn't brown to the page, pulling the poem and other elements together. Alignment  To make the page aligned and flow all the...

High School Film Trailer

Project                 For this project I was tasked with recreating a movie trailer of a high school based movie. My group was assigned the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". We had the option of which official trailer we wanted to recreate. After some research, my group found the most reasonable trailer to make and started pre-production.                 Before we could start filming, there were many steps to make sure we could recreate the trailer perfectly. Unfortunately, we found that it could not be directly replicated as there were many shots that we couldn't do. I started with creating a story board of every scene in the edited trailer. Then, as a team, we wrote down all costumes and props. Finally, we cast rolls and made sure people would be available before giving them the part officially. Our group decided to keep most of the casting inside the group but we did get two adults and two students ...
