Welcome to Karissa's Page(:

My First House; In my last drawing I was working on building a terrain. Since then the assignment was to make a creative design including your name for your company. I chose my first first name then Co Designs because I though it sounded like a cool name for a company name. I chose a box to represent what I like. I always draw boxes and then make them look 3D. So I made my company name in a 3D box. I have learned in this assignment to make a grid on a blank sheet. I also learned how to put my name inside the box, even though I already knew how to do that. It helps me in the future of this corse because if I ever have to make a grid on a new project, I would already know how. This can apply to the real world because it is my logo with the company name, so I will know how to design a logo. It can also help when it goes out for business purposes. It helps with business because I can send it out to different places and distribute to the newspapers or be a sponsor for a team. I didn't really have a problem with this assignment at all because it was a straight forward a easy assignment. I did have a little problem, but it wasn't a major problem. My problem was every time I dragged a line it would be perfectly straight, but once I stopped dragging the line it went all in different way. I solved this problem by just deleting the whole project and just started over again. After that it worked perfectly fine, and I didn't have another problem. I was successful in this project because it was easy and I didn't really have to go step by step from the book. This project was just easy and I will be successful because it gave me a break from the book and let me explore on my own. I showed creativity in this project because it was my own design and no one else will ever have a logo like mine. It was creative because it shows my personality, and what I like.

Since my last posting, I have been working on finishing up my house. After I finished my house, I had to start a new plan and build a 28' by 32' house. Then I made two bedrooms, a bathroom, family room, kitchen, and a deck indie the house. I then had to build a foundation under my house. I then put a terrain around my house. I have learned how to make soffits under my house way easier, then I made them before. In one of my previous drawings, I had to put my own soffits under my house, and now all I had to do was press a certain button button and they were all under the deck and I then I didn't have to do much more to my deck after that. They can help because when I am older I am considering looking into architect as a permeant job. It could help in the real world because I would know how to put the soffits under the deck. I had a problem building the terrain. I had trouble with the terrain because I had to many "dots" and it didn't know which one to pick. I solved this problem by just trying to do the terrain over and over again. I finally gave up just caved in and asked Mr.Bailey for some help. In the future I will be successful at the terrain part because I payed a lot of attention on how to build the terrain. My eyes didn't leave the screen once. I now know that when you build the terrain you can only have one "dot" to start with, and no more then one. I showed creativity by putting more in the house then I was suppose to. I put more windows in, and a few more rooms. I made the deck a lot bigger, and the house was just the same length as it was suppose to be.

Since my last posting, I have been working on getting a picture from each side of my house. Such as getting a picture from, the North, the South, the East, and the West of my house. I also worked on the outside of my house, like putting trees, bushes, a pool, and other outside equipment. I have learned how to take a picture from each side of my house. I have also learned how to make it so I can change put my house to the North direction. I learned how to put a road in next to my house and how to build a drive way. It could apply to the real world by if I ever need to get a picture of my house from the north, south, east, and/or west. It could apply by if I had to become a architect, when I become a architect if then need a lay-out of there house I will already have a idea how to do a lay-out. My problems with this assignment was, every time I took a picture and I exported it to my lay-out, my picture would go to page zero. When it went to page zero all the picture went on every page and I could not put any picture on any number of pages. Then I had to print out my first picture, then I did my other two pictures on the pages there were suppose to be and then it worked out fine. I not really successful in anyway. I was not successful in anyway because everything I did was not working out for me. First my pictures would only export to page zero on my lay-out plan, when it was suppose to go to page one. Then my computer was not print at all. It was just not a good section for me, I had many problems. I showed creativity by putting different trees and bushes to make a good atmosphere around my house. I did that to show my different style around my house. In my last drawing I was on working on building a porch, a deck, and a roof over my front deck. In this drawing I am showing you shadows from different angles. I am showing you the shadows from the room on the the house. The sunlight is coming at a direct view of the house, making the shadows appear on the house. I have learned how make the shadows.

In this drawing I have been working on building my porches, decks, and putting a roof over my front porch. I also worked on putting soffits in under my house to keep the deck up. Compared to my last drawing which I worked on designing my kitchen and the inside of my house. During this time I have learned how to put the soffits under my porch to help have stabilize the porch. I also learned how to put a roof over my front porch. These skills will help my in the future if I would ever want to be a architect. This has helped me have a knowledge of how to build a porch with a roof. This would apply to the real world if I ever wanted to to become a architect. It would apply because when or if I wanted to build a deck or porch. I had trouble with putting a roof over my front porch. I had trouble getting a roof over my porch because I had to click a certain wall with a full gable wall preference. I had the wrong wall clicked so when I tried to put the roof on it would not make a roof over my porch it would only make tall walls going up my house. Not only that but my house roof would go off on slants and I would have splits and cuts in my roof. I fixed this problem by having a friend help me, but after my friend didn’t know I asked Mr. Bailey help me. We went through all the walls on my porch and found the one that wasn’t suppose to have the full gable wall preference on. We then took the preference off and my roof was back to normal. I was successful in finishing my work on time. I became successful be listening to music and focusing on my work. Some times I space out and can’t focus on my work. This time I worked hard to get my work done and on time, I also worked better with music. I worked better with music because I can focus on my work and channel people out when they talk to me. It also helped because when I had my music on I didn’t get distracted by all the distractions around me. I showed creative by solving my problem. I showed creative because I tried to figure it out by myself, then after about ten minutes I asked a friend and when he didn’t know I asked Mr. Bailey.

I have learned how to put soffits in above the cabinets. I have also learned that the soffits are 3D boxes that can be used to fill the area between cabinet tops and the ceiling. Soffits can also be used to create other simple 3D objects such as posts or piers. This will help me in the future if I ever have to make another kitchen.
